1. Interesting

Hope they keep him.

2. Alas...

He's related to what's her name Betsy DeVos(?), a Trumpist cabinet member who started the attack on universities and Title IX. So Trump may pretend to care.

8. Betsy Devos is his sister.

They’re heirs of AmWay wealth from Michigan. Buncha freaky christofascists.

10. WTF was he doing in the Congo?

I'm betting he was in there trying to organize an overthrow of the DRC government on orders from Trump.

11. More likely than not

They probably just want to buy weapons from him.

Terrorists love terrorists.
