Trump and Musk are doing It Wrong: Politics is the Art of the Possible, Not the Art of Grievance, Revenge, and Self-Enrichment

It is painfully clear that Trump is out to benefit one person: Trump. His own interests have long-been the key factor in his thinking, and he will only do what is best for the USA, up to the point where it benefits him.
