        No, you don’t understand. He is occasionally rude to both high ranking republicans and democrats on twitter and in fox news interviews. That means he’s tough on the establishment, duh 🙄

        Former President Donald Trump asked oil industry executives last month to donate $1 billion to aid his campaign to retake the White House… The oil industry has a long list of policy actions it would want Trump to take, including dismantling parts of President Joe Biden’s green agenda and rolling back pollution regulations that threaten to crimp their profits.

        Yeah, he’s going after the establishment… Lmfao

      I need you to show some examples please. For all I know, Trump is The Swamp incarnate. Gave his family and friends high positions in the government, spent millions of tax payer money for trips to places owned by him so he directly profited from every trip. He and his family took donations (and likely bribes) from the rich and poweful both in and outside the US and his policies are super good for the rich and bad for the poor. How anyone can think he’s “anti-establishment” is beyond me. The establishment is paying him to do what he does.

        Hillary, Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Chris Christie, Dan Crenshaw, etc… to name a few people. Replaced NAFTA. Cut taxes. Allowed Canadian prescription drugs to come into the U.S., cutting the cost of prescription drugs - biggest drop in half a century. Reformed Clinton-era Crime bill which lowered the prison rate for Black Americans. Signed the VA Accountability Act and removed more than 2,500 employees for misconduct and poor performance. Did not start wars. Built relationships with the Middle East and was the only president ballsy enough to enter North Korean territory to have diplomacy with Kim Jong Un. He protected Medicare and Social Security—including from socialist “Medicare-for-All” schemes, which would kick 180 million Americans off their health plans. These are some of the things that Trump did that the Establishment REFUSED to do.

        Trump was and still is for the People.

      Probably cause it never even came close to happening? Gullible rubes like you wanted it to happen really bad and then imagined it when it didn’t.
