    So now he’s looking at the Chinese dictatorship route. There’s never anything original with him.

      Maybe more of the Putin-playbook, he became one of the richest men on earth by pressuring the oligarchs into paying him. I am almost certain they talked about this in the 2h one-on-one in Trumps first presidency.

          That’s probably the long game for the techbors, Americas Oligarchs. Trump is a good tool to bring that idea into a country once called “leader of the free world”. By giving him money to buy more shiny toilets they make sure they don’t fall on his bad side so they can do whatever the want.
