I do have to say that it makes me chuckle, a lot, to see these billionaires paying trump millions and millions to get his blessings and favors, and then he turns around and fucks each of them in the ass.

Part by incompetency and stupidity, but also because he knows his position now, he can ask more, and more, and more, and he never had to deliver because what are they going to do?

They could just shut down Meta and it would take a week for everyone to adjust.

Dog and pony show that concludes with a backroom deal and a slap on the wrist, as always.

They'll roll out the Zuckbot for some public speaking so everyone can focus on how weird he is instead of anything else.
