minus-squareDagwoodIII@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30·1 day agoMy take is different. Trump was in bed with the New York Mafia for decades. The real bosses stayed as far away from him as possible, sending their stooges to control him. Trump had one really smart mentor, Roy Cohn. He ditched Cohn when Roy was diagnosed with AIDS. Trump thinks that he’s a genius because he does scams like selling NFTs and golden sneakers to chumps. A real boss would have quietly extorted $50 billion out of Saudi Arabia on Inauguration Day 2017 and then just been quiet.
