Politics: With Trump, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Let’s see if I actually understand what I meant by the title of this post. It means that some of the people that befriend him and help him wind up suffering the consequences. It is not a good thing to support Trump and he will easily turn on anyone and everyone who helped him.

 

Let’s start simply with his donors. The bible warns in Proverbs that people who give money to the rich will fall into poverty. Trump doesn’t need money for his campaigns. He has plenty of money that he could spend instead. But he grifts his own supporters into giving himself more money than they can even afford or realize that they were signing up for when they did it. When I donate money to Act Blue as I did yesterday, it is quite clear that I’m only doing donations that are just one time. If things were to change, I would be able to get out of it and get my money back. But this isn’t the case, at least easily, for people tricked into donating to Trump.

 

Then let’s get to the politicians who get all buddy buddy with Trump. Some of them wind up getting turned on quite easily. Ron Desantis, for instance, the one person currently who would make me want to see Trump as president again, liked using Trump and his supporters in order to support his own agenda. Trump doesn’t like this. Trump doesn’t want anyone but himself to make use of his supporters, even when and if it could benefit himself in the long term.

 

There’s also someone like Eric Schmidt who lead the crusade of the ridiculous election lawsuit of Texas versus Pennyslyvania. He clearly did that to support Trump. Now Eric is running to be part of the US senate. And yet there was an ad criticizing Eric for not supporting Trump’s ways as a “true” conservative.

 

While there are more examples of this potentially, there’s not much else worth mentioning in this blog post of mine. Trump is willing to throw out any friends of him showing any and all of them what they really are: a means to further his own agenda and nothing more. Trump has no true friends, only cult followers who get abused quite easily.
