The fact that they can even get that many who are willing to be in positions he appoints is crazy. Imagine the level of ego and megalomania you need to have to have unfathomable, practically infinite wealth, yet still want to be in the public eye and controlling politics.

I know it's cliché but it's true for most people when they say "if I had a billion dollars, nobody I don't know would ever see or hear about me ever again". We'd be too busy doing literally whatever we want, to give a fuck about making sure we avoid taxes and consistently ranting about "woke".
