Trump is BEGGING his Rich Friends for Money

Last edited Sun Aug 29, 2021, 09:11 PM - Edit history (1)



Donald Trump efforts to raise donations from his wealthy friends is failing, and this is likely because he doesn't have real friends, and he is no longer useful to them. This shows that Trump misses the world of the elites he had before being in office.

2. Trump never really had a cadre of "elites" before he was s-elected.

They put up with him, tolerated him. But he wasn't invited to their social gatherings, invited to their charity affairs, to their homes.

The "elites" only found him useful when he was in the WH. For example, the tax cuts. Cutting business regulations. That kind of thing.

Now that he's TFG, he's useless again. Only the nouveau riche have memberships at his gaudy clubs.

everything is fine. In fact, now that they got their judges, it's better if he goes away.

5. Trump was described as a boil on the bum of Democracy.

When in the WH, he was a dangerous boil.

He still is that, just less so out of the WH. But to heal Democracy properly, that boil still needs lancing.

Starving him of funds will do it, but way too slowly.
