17. He is like ... Trump
Mon Jun 6, 2022, 10:07 AM
Jun 2022

He isn't a "celebrity" but he is more of an actual business man and not a moron.

But, he is just as mean spirited, and as you note, a wanna be dictator, but just a more competent person generally and as an elected official.

He won't beat Trump, because Trump has the mass appeal and his master skill is hitting at the lowest core of human beings, which sadly is the way to the hearts of most of our electorate at this point.

But, is something happens to Trump, he would be next in line now. You just can hear it when the Rs talk, they get and like what he is putting down.
