You know, he was president before. You can know what he cares about by having lived through Trump 1.0. Now he's brought along a bunch of weasels to grift, but he doesn't care about anything that helps you.
He killed 300,000 Americans. He was blantantly anti-muslim, anti-semitic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, and sexist. And that still wasn't enough for people to keep him out of office.

I was completely convinced that trump didn't stand any chance whatsoever.
Losing that money wasn't too upsetting. That trump got in is deeply disturbing though.
