Watching any interview with Trump now is like an advert for senile dementia.
I get why conservatives think the guy is great, or at least the idea of him, but in reality he only gives a shit about himself and his cronies getting richer. It’s all manipulation of the markets. He's a celebrity businessman who knows that America First means Trump First and getting his.
Cleetus and Dixie in Bumfuck, OK might see something of Trump in themselves, a look at oh what might have been if only they were born nepo narcissists instead of trailer trash. That's absurd in itself. For British conservatives living in a semi detached even more so.
His shtick only works with the threat of US power behind him, otherwise everyone is just going to tell him to fuck off. So instead they have to constantly massage his fragile ego to keep him on side. Some nice words here, a trophy there, you can work positive reinforcement until his toddler brain switches and then he fixates on something else he can use to his gain.
