    Ehh…whatever. TACO is going to TACO. It’s all a pathetic shell game to boast his ego. And it’s a bonus for him if it gets the news cycle to move on from the story about the Canadian national who died in ICE custody.

      In most situations I’d think you meant “boost his ego” but in this case, I think “boast” is more accurate.

        Haha yeah. I had started to write the sentence about him boasting about his deal making skills, but it felt clunky so I changed it. Clearly I didn’t catch that I hadn’t changed it to boost, but your right, somehow it works.
