Hilarious. " Equal opportunity to please the king" my ass. Question: say Bill Gates was going to throw 30 billion cash to Trump (or whatever exorbitant amount/line of equity/line of credit) to not only restore all the Biden EOs but also institute 5 extra major policies from progressive groups.
Do you think Trump is going to see Green, or he's suddenly going to bitterly see all the colors of the rainbow.
It's a delusion for a lot of people (especially oddly enough certain craven progressives) that you can simply buy off Trump for whatever policies you want.
Trump fundamentally has some ideals. Awful terrible ideals but ideals, and the NAACP could promise to quintuple his personal fortune if he lets them craft civil rights policies but he would never budge.
Note this: a lot of the world's most corrupt countries tend to also be the most brutally racist/sexist/all the isms progressives (post 2024 election) and conservatives sneer at. The color green and corrupt institutions do not lead to salvation.
Reminds me of my quasi-hometown of Youngstown, OH, where former U.S. Rep. Jim Traficant maintains a Pinochetesque cult of devotion to this day, despite his obvious corruption, ineffectiveness as a lawmaker, and being a national laughingstock and avatar for the region as a sociocultural backwater.
(Most heartbreakingly, the Youngstown region did seem to be taking steps to emerge as something other than a backwater in the years following Traficant’s ouster from Congress, including major investments in Youngstown State University and the elections of Tim Ryan and Jay Williams. The 2008 crash was the effective coup de grâce to these efforts, and the region promptly resumed free fall—where it remains to this day.)

A number of progressives thought he could be bought to support Medicare For All and cutting off Israel
A large number of progressives would throw every marginalized group under the bus if it meant their loans were forgiven, so I see why they thought so
Hey Nick, can you advise some examples of Trump's corruption? Hopefully they will be outside the 4 recent legal cases against him?
He can be described with many negative yet correct words; but I am not aware of any examples of corruption itself.
Thanks
