Doing whatever the orange mob boss tells them to do.
Gives him whatever he wants.

While we the people have very little in terms of money and power.

I just told a friend: giving a bully, a ruthless psychopath, every single thing he wants
only emboldens him, he will get much much worse.

(As usual YD, I have had the same thoughts today.)
