Trump sold himself into the hands of Miriam Adelson for $100m to buy himself out of his legal troubles and get back into the White House.
I still don't get how you can buy a fucking billionaire for a few million, but apparently something like that happened.
At best, they threatened him with some absolutely atrocious shit, and he caved. The middle is he's a greedy fuck who sold out our country for a hundred more million. The worst is he actually is a gigaperv, and he's in the "Epstain files" or something equivalent.
I personally still put it to option 1 or 2 as most likely but...yeah, either way, it's not great for the whole "Donald J. Trump is America First" narrative, which seems pretty dead and buried by this point.

How do you think they became billionaires? I'd stop and relax if i had 200 million. But these people just want more, more, more. Insert Zoidberg meme.
All your scenarios assume that Trump is against this. Is he? Does he care about anything other than himself? I get the best headlines. They're fantastic.

I mean, the middle one is just that he's greedy. That's more neutral.
I think the biggest indicator that he might be against this, is just how much he changed. Sure, maybe he didn't get the same offers the first time around, but there's still been such a dramatic change in Trump that I think there are some outside forces at work. Maybe that's cope, but that's how I feel. Someone got to him, and he either didn't have the spine to stand up, or just didn't care enough to begin with.

My best theory is that like a lot of leaders, he is a 'balancer'. Between different factions, that is. If he sells out to the neocons completely, then he becomes beholden to them and loses power. If he stays faithful to his base and banishes the neocons, he becomes beholden to his base and loses power.
Of course, a lot of people have pointed out that what the sides get ain't equal. Israel First got everything, while 'his base' gets words, as well as him calling Tucker Carlson a "great conservative guy". Even someone on the Israel First side commented that the "woke right" got merely rhetoric while they got their wildest dreams (and worried that this might change as the good guys make a bid for domination).

If it was option three, he'd have been doing all this in his first term instead of dragging the Overton window a bit back to the right.
Yup, which is one of the reasons I'm not a believer in the "Trump is a monstrous pedo" narrative.
