I’m sick of powerful people / companies kissing his ass, but I can’t deny that this is a smart move for getting out from under his disgusting gaze.

    A few nice words and a $15 shiny object is all you need to curry favour with the current President.

    Can someone ask him for free college education and healthcare in America, presenting him a golden stethoscope or golden book-shaped award?

      Honestly if the US actually had a left wing party that challenged the status quo, I’m sure he’s vapid enough that he might have tried to get his cult of personality going there.

      I don’t think it would have gone well for him because he’s actually just a straight up shitty person, but I feel like for an obvious narcissist like him the party lines are just window dressing.

        100%.

        Trump has had some Republican inclinations, but he could have absolutely been a leftist demagogue. Or any affiliation really.

        Look how he tore through other Republicans like toilet paper.
