The Rulers are used to having puppets who will do what they say and give them crony perks. They know Trump punishes people who cross him. So to stay in the loop and not be shut out of the President's office they are buying a seat on the train hoping for the scraps which would be better then nothing. In 8 years of being on the outside they could be bankrupt...
Mech, old buddy, old pal. We scrape, we argue. We fight, but please re-read this statement.
You are saying that donors are buying tickets to the Trump train, hoping to get "scraps" to keep them from going "bankrupt ".
Should any POTUS have, or wield such power?
You are starting to make me nervous.
Remember the saying, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely".
Be careful what you wish for.
