Diana, I wholeheartedly agree. I wrote something similar on Alex Berenson's Substack months ago and the Always Trumpers vehemently disagreed. I agree with pandelis and Napoleon below - beyond with them both.

Could you say more? I don't think Trump consciously aligned himself with big Pharma. He is vulnerable to getting manipulated by anyone who offers him money or promises him the election, etc. He falls easily for such threats or promises and doesn't pay attention and follow through. He basically has a lot of good ideas--a lot. He contradicts himself. So if he says vaccines are safe--he might also say we have to wait to see the adverse reactions. He is like Fauci. Contradicts himself. It's not so much contradicting--it's confusing. It's as if he wants to promise everything to everyone so that he attracts more supporters because he is a narcissist and basks in the adulation of his followers. Fauci flip flops. Trump promises all things to all people. And doesn't follow through. So when Pandelis writes "Trump is not done with us," I don't see Trump having an agenda, like Fauci who profits from big pharma drugs. I just think Trump wants to be reelected because it helps him get more money, privilege, and evade punishment for grifting, etc.

You provide an interesting perspective on his character. And your last sentence makes sense to me as to his current motivations. What is concerning me is his endorsements. The primary results in Ohio and Indiana have made him a kingmaker according to some news reports. My opinion is that his endorsements are all based on (and I quote you) "the adulation" those endorsed provide him. To complicate this, I wholeheartedly agree with some of the endorsements (J D Vance) and wildly disagree with others (Dr. Oz). Repubs lose control of the Senate mainly because of Trumps behavior and statements before the Georgia run off in January. Will history repeat, crushing the expected Red Wave?
