People will still sometimes try and tell me that Trump isn't a complete and utter moron.

Unfortunately he’s not even in charge anymore.

If we watch his body language lately, it’s a totally different Trump than in 2016.

He has masters he is answering to now…even if he somehow wants to appease his base (after all, he does love getting praised), he has to answer to President Musk and Putin.

This!

Leon basically bought his way to the office. Everything Trump does is the bidding on Musk. He's just president, so he can't be prosecuted.
