    Last time he tried to hide it. This time he is being completely open about the fact that he is for sale because he believes that he is untouchable.

      Because he is. The GOP has all three branches of government, a good chunk of state legislatures and governors, and a media sphere that’s indifferent to actively complicit in helping to cosign whatever he does.

            no for sure. i got that. but you still hit on a terrifying truth. he was trying to hide it before. there was at least some reason for him to act like he wasn’t who he is. this time there’s none of that

                exactly. that was him trying to act like he wasn’t the monumental piece of shit informed people know him to be. he’s going to be so much more intense this time
