Things are often not what they are purported to be. You got suckered by a master conman, and now have buyer's remorse? You thought all that campaign $$'s bought you a seat at the table. That only lasted until you were done taking the sledge hammer to all those Federal Agencies. Now you no longer have anything to offer that he needs, so adios.
Remember, you have billions of dollars in government contracts that he could terminate at any time. So, be a good boy and don't get out of line, or it's gonna cost you.
You could even be deported.
When you play with fire, you can get burned.
