It’s a fundamental democratic question: Does he represent voters or himself?
Let me see; Mr. Trump faced being sent to prison (and still might be), and his company lost vast sums of money, including a judgment that cost him three quarters of a billion dollars, and he almost lost his life in one of two assassination attempts.
Sorry, but you cannot possible make this case with a straight face in light of what Trump has sacrificed for America.
Meanwhile his policies are all in line with what the majority of Americans want and asked him to do.
Also, if we are to go there, what about the war in Iran? Trump does not stand to benefit from that personally at all, but rather this could lose Congress in the next election which will mean Trump's impeachment and possibly eventually his imprisonment (like Bolsonaro in Brazil). How is Trump "profiting" from any of this?
The Wall Street Urinal is precisely that these days - nothing but "Orange Man Bad".
At the beginning of this article the author suggests Trump will cut a deal as if that is a bad thing. Trump ALWAYS cuts deals if his opponents are willing. But he drives a hard bargain. And if he didn't cut a deal he would be accused by people like this author of being rigid and stubborn and "not having the temperament to lead".
