Did Trump pay for his fish sandwich with a diamond, and a gold bar was his change from that transaction?

no, you don't have to be a drug addict to be homeless. and in virtually the entire country working fulltime at a minimum wage or other service job does not pay enough to cover rent

Can't click the spoiler text on mobile

you're not really missing much. the places where they add clarity are the second trump panel where they make explicit that the cashier is giving trump his change and the second to last panel where they clarify that the customer is a cop and that he, despite earning a comfortable living, is not expected to pay for his meal. they also resolve the ambiguity of the king pin being the boss, as in corporate and not mafioso. the ambiguity doesn't really matter, at the end of the day someone comes and takes almost all the money the guy has earned and it's a relationship that is considered legitimate in the sense that the guy is considered powerless to do anything about it

You guys aren't getting it...the $100 represents his soul

there isn't really any symbolism or metaphor. it would've been impractical and boring to show, like, thousands of transactions so the wealth that is brought in by the guy's labor is compressed into diamonds and rubies and gold bars shown through a handful of transactions. that's more of an expedience dictated by the medium than a stand in for something else or a simplification of a bigger or harder concept though

there's a whole series of these I intend to put up as time and resources become available. there's also a super secret project I'm working on with a goon who is a much better story teller than I am and those should be actually fun and not just me moralizing about the excesses of cops and capitalism
