    I think it is even worse than that. He isn’t simply a puppet, he is an ideologue that perfectly embodies the repressed rage of a class of people who believe that life is a zero sum game. What we are dealing with is a death cult. They legitimately believe they are chosen by god to dominate the earth, and every single time they have gained power they have commit or attempted to commit genocide in the name of purifying society and bending it to their will. This is the ultimate existential threat as far as I am concerned, and why I am a staunch anti-theist. No Christian can ever be truly trusted because if and when they take power they will all fall in line because the alternative is sacrificing themselves for a cause they do not believe in.

      It’s possibly even worse than that but he is definitely a puppet.

      He used to be a NYC Democrat. He even helped Bill get elected.

      I think it’s a combination of money he owes to SA, Russia, etc and his clearly failing mental health. He isn’t actually an ideologue as he believes in nothing except his own godlyness. The only master he has served was himself up until a decade or two ago. Remember that he did run for office a couple of times in the early 90s iirc and lost but those were on third party I believe, not republican.

      Anyone who has been paying attention for the past 40+ years knows what’s what. He is a grade a moron who doesn’t even know how to run a business. Try watching the apprentice, that will tell you all you need to know about his business acumen. I’m not going to go into his history of failed businesses, money received from multiple enemies of the state, etc.
