Still, he did achieve his goal of being a president of US not once but twice. He had to make a deal with the devil to achieve it but he did. And if he was totally incompetent even the devil wouldn’t help. And it’s not like his deal has cost him much at all so far.
I think there is a good chance he’d know how to skirt the law if he’d start at a lower rung too.
He could get destroyed in public’s eye same way he got created (well to the extent of actually getting to be a president). The propaganda machine that created him could just as well annihilate him.
He is not the one controlling all the media and more importantly all the internet propaganda.
I don’t think he’d care about the daughter really. He would care though about being shown for a fool he is. And I have no doubt that Trump understands this fully. Putin’s propaganda machine both helped this orange narc get elected and is the means to strip him of it if he misbehaves.
Because it is largely a manufactured problem. And not having it actually in your life makes it so much better for manufacturing purposes. You can dial up to 11 all the fears of unknown, misconceptions and what not that drive people politically where you want them, while you have no real world to push back on your nonsense.
Yes the people that get duped do bear a bit of the burden due to not doing proper research on their own. But the vast majority of the burden is on the people that push this through. And unfortunately they are pretty damn good at their jobs.
