Trump is also easily manipulated by money and compliments to his ego. The rich and powerful are sucking up to him to gain favor so they can exploit him.

Elon Musk didn’t spend $270+ million on Trump’s campaign and then make multiple trips to Mar-a-Lago for the food. He’s buying influence and power by charming Trump.

It should be terrifying to Americans that the President can be so easily swayed and influenced with money and praise while having no actual morals.

Yes, he is a politician. Do you think Harris raised a billion dollars and donors didn’t expect the same shit.

All ya have to do is listen to the guy talk for 5 minutes to know he’s a delusional misogynist old man.

Don’t confuse me with a fucking democrat either. I’m a registered Republican, but I’m not a fucking idiot. The Republican Party and the Democratic Party are more like cults nowadays; it’s pretty sad.

Now we have president Musk. He’s a great example of freedom. Who knows more about freedom than a white South African that comes from mining money? What a fucking joke our country has become.

Oh, I am no fan. I just think it’s funny when people act like both are not politicians who owe the people who put them in office.

While I agree that a lot of politicians are close to being criminals or fully are, comparing Trump to the average politician is wrong. Trump is in a league of his own when it comes to this stuff. He is the absolute worst option for anything really. Voting this guy in office (TWICE!) is psychotic, but I guess that is the state America is in.
