    Does all this sound like they’re actually loving Trump or are there credible threat to their health from the Trump admin? They seemed to fall into line so smoothly and fast that it seems a bit weird.

        Quick then Zuck, ban radical ideas like Open Source even harder from Facebook if you want to stay on Don’s good side.

      I suppose it’s possible that if Trump felt that they weren’t supporting him in the way he would like, he could introduce laws to make life difficult for them.

      Although I suspect behind closed doors the investors don’t really feel the need to start meetings off praising Trump (however much he may personally want to be he isn’t Stalin), so in this case it might be actual fanaticism.

      The thing is, most billionaires are sociopaths. You don’t get there without being able to treat people like cattle, and consider yourself far, far, far above everyone else.

      They’re all late game capitalist oligarchs, which almost always trends towards fascism in the end. It’s no surprise, it’s been happening for a while now, we’re just the biggest country to fall under this spell.

      They don’t have any morals or ethics, they only have one purpose: Make more money at any expense to build their dragon hoard further.

      They’ll praise trump and suck his dick if it doubles their earnings. That’s all they ever cared about. And trump will absolutely do them favors if they kiss his ass. It’s one of the things he was impeached for already.

      They think they’re going to make a lot of money through mergers, acquisitions, and monopolization. All they need to do is suck a little dick publicly

      Credibly threats to their revenue streams, more like. You don’t climb the ladder to billionaire-hood without kissing a few assess and sucking a lot of dick.
