The day after he was convicted on his 30+ felonies, he had the biggest donation day of any politician in US history, probably Human history. Jeff Bezos prevented any news outlet he owned of endorsing Harris, Elon Musk Did a million dollar raffle for Trump voters. They DO NOT WANT to pay taxes, and they DO NOT want to pay people who make their money. That's all this has ever been, and they know Trump would fuck his mothers corpse for a nickle and will absolutely shift the tax burden to the poor and middle class as hard as he can, and he has a majority in the legislature, and full stop OWNS the most extreme and corrupt Supreme Court we've ever seen, and he will stack it even higher this term. It is a GREAT time to be a corrupt politician in America, no one is going to taste a single consequence for this fuckery.

Yeah I know he got help from various billionaires, but Mr. and Mrs. Middle America ignored stuff that goes against their own character. Most people don't associate with anybody who's on trial for multiple felonies. They disapprove of guys who cheat on their wives. They would frown on a grown man saying "grab 'em by the pussy." Trump is not a person decent churchgoing Americans normally idolize - let alone pastors and ministers. He has an uncanny charm with these people, which I chalk up to his con man ability. But even a con man loses his audience when he drops pretense and acts like an asshole. The Orange Sack of Shit seems unnaturally immune to that.

The Supreme Court knows he can't be elected again and they already have their seats, they don't owe him anything anymore

Him? No. The Heritage Foundation? Who ever paid off gambling debts, who ever is willing to pay for vacations and mother in law rent? They can either still owe them, or they can simply pay for whatever they want a la cart.

Indeed, they can throw Trump under the bus in favor of their true masters
