I’m sick of powerful people / companies kissing his ass, but I can’t deny that this is a smart move for getting out from under his disgusting gaze.

    Honestly if the US actually had a left wing party that challenged the status quo, I’m sure he’s vapid enough that he might have tried to get his cult of personality going there.

    I don’t think it would have gone well for him because he’s actually just a straight up shitty person, but I feel like for an obvious narcissist like him the party lines are just window dressing.

      100%.

      Trump has had some Republican inclinations, but he could have absolutely been a leftist demagogue. Or any affiliation really.

      Look how he tore through other Republicans like toilet paper.
