I've said it many times in the last 9 years: Trump has harmed many many people over his career. But in my mind, he only takes the dignity of those who give it to him willingly. They're drawn to him and want to give it away.
Nah. Vance, Musk and Thiel will be the leaders behind any new Trump government. Pretty simple quid pro quo. $$$
I think one of the most heartbreaking examples was recently, when a veteran game Trump his Purple Heart 😢 As if that callous, disrespectful coward deserves any honour at all.
And so, so many people do.
Weird and weirder.
I will never forget that photo of Mitt Romney, one of the few who, to his credit, realized this would happen to him if he took a job and demurred after being humiliated in that photo op
