The best thing about Trump is that he makes the lies the MSmockingbirdM say stand out.
Less and less people are believing the news.
They have always been lying, but now it is so blatant, and stupid, especially in the age of internet, that they just look silly and stupid.
I really wish Trump was a really good guy, or a saviour, or any of those things.
But, what you find is that Trump is just a bully, "but he is our bully" is what people love.
People who have done deals with him are usually not hurt by the deal, but most people say they would never make a deal with him again.
AND!!! to your point, a LOT of people are going to be dying from the VAXXX now coming up on five years. It will be very sad, depressing.
Trump was prosecuted for a deal the bank's own financial appraisers accepted, and then he paid off, but a politician with an axe to grind decided it was bad.
BUT
Trump also pushed the lockdowns and jab.
The weirdest part: The Democrats went from "Trump's vaccine is bad and Big Pharma is the enemy" to "No jab, no job" and "Yay Pfizer" almost overnight.
Indeed!
It's not that weird when you realize he's just controlled opposition.
The "he's just controlled opposition" argument needs a lot of support. I do believe there is a political class which consists of people who literally conspire to plunder us, but I do not believe the conspiracy theories of a monolithic organization running everything. There are factions within the power elite, disagreements over the way to exploit the gullible masses, and bitter rivalries between families and individuals. Examples historically include Tammany Hall, or the Rockefellers vs. the Morgans.
All organizations will have such factions, it doesn't mean that they don't agree on keeping themselves in power.
Donald Trump is a toy being used by one of those factions, and he doesn't even know it. This was pretty easy to see when he bombed Syria based on some faked videos.
