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'm an Englishman that's lived in Australia for thirty years. I put $100 on Kamala to win because the odds meant that I would get back a fair bit more.
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.

Americans lack the training to recognize and resist authoritarian propaganda
