I already thought it was because they were selfish assholes, but good to have it confirmed by someone who thinks that being a selfish asshole is totally fine and subdivides their selfish assholery into bullet points for easier comprehension. I mean they're not idealogues that wouldn't support someone just because he's "cultural heroin" and like Hitler (their words, not mine). Not if the alternative is paying taxes. But hey, if the rich guy who's given up on democracy supports a candidate that doesn't believe in democracy when he loses, how bad can it get? For Billionaire men with passports to other countries probably not that bad at all.

The dot points listed are too complicated for Trump to base policy on, but he's open to pass the policy that people will pay for.

  Yeah presumably they got a version of the "Give me $1 Billion and I'll scrap all climate regulations on day 1" offer Trump made to the Oil industry. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/09/trump-oil-industry-campaign-money/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/09/trump-oil...
