As president, Trump was like the captain of a pirate ship.

All of his enablers, his crew, were all corrupt thieves who enabled Trump for their own self interests.

When Trump was elected every corrupt asshole in our country came running to volunteer to work aboard the pirate ship.

3. When he was surprisingly elected, I decided to reserve judgment until his cabinet picks....

My first cabinet member to research was Mnuchin. It was then that I realized that our predicament was even worse than I thought. I totally agree with your pirate analogy.

4. Much the same way he does business,...

..... plunder and pilfer until anything of value is converted to your use. Then quickly move on to the next mark.
