Does Trump owe hos allegiance to unwashed Magats for being elected president, or does he owe it to Putin/Musk?
Trump certainly acted like he didn't need their votes.

(19,260 posts)He might like to speak on a stage in front of MAGAts, but it is hilarious to me that they think he cares about anything or anyone but himself.
He strikes me as someone who has never loved anyone but himself.

He used them to attain office and now he no longer needs them. Their opinions and feelings are meaningless.
But you know, no matter what he does, theyll end up supporting him in the end.
They were mad a couple days ago but they jump right back on board. Thats how a cult works.

Putin is in a very weak position right now with the Ukraine quagmire, Syria all but gone from the Russian orbit, the Ruble on the skids, etc. I wonder how that Putin / Trump dynamic will work out know. The world has changed since his first term. Will Trump consider himself the senior partner or no partner at all? Could Putin blow him up out of spite?

I used to be optimistic when hearing that some were waking up to reality.
We need to be realistic. It didn't happen before and it's not going to happen in the future.
they will always blame us and stand up for hate and trickle down economics.
