@PhilosopherKing73 Yeah it should be the other way around. Trump tanks thinking. Why the hell else would they want to defund public education?

I don't know though. Trump says not paying taxes, is being a smart businessman. And using bankruptcy as a way to keep your wealth, while screwing over others, is probably yet another so-called smart businessman technique. When you see what businesses he filed bankruptcy on. They were businesses that made a lot of quick money, had many working class workers. And kinda easily bankruptible. Casinos, phoney colleges. And on his casinos. He was under suspension of money laundering. So maybe bankruptcy pushed that aside. He does use the system for his financial benefit for sure.

I think that's exactly what happened to leadership like Mitch McConnell, when dealing with trump. Yes, they can use him, on one hand. But he wants to be the last word. Because that's what authoritarian dictators are. The last word. And when you buck them, even if you're buds, he's not going to be happy. And friction starts. Plus, even in a close family. There will be differences of opinion. And that causes friction. In a dictatorship, there's only 1...boss. And you don't follow the leader, your out. Plus i read lots of the 2025 playbook. And it's GD insane with rad ideas. Even trump didn't agree with lots of it. But, he so wants to win, he'll grasp at anyone who'll help him.
