Donald Trump - another irrelevance if he becomes president

Just about every single person that is part of his team/business/cabinet/lawyer ends up leaving as an enemy. He does not have a friend in the world.
It shows how cruel life can be that he has reached the age he has.
A despicable human being.

Not only as enemies how many have done jail time

Musk has let ego and power seriously corrupt him but he is undoubtedly a very intelligent man. You don’t get degrees in physics and economics if you’re not. Some would say there’s genius in his business acumen but he has also proven many times over that he understands the science of the many projects his businesses are involved in far more than most CEO’s.

Lis Truss has a degree in economics

Yeah, I know what you mean, but I’m genuinely interested in why many people do support him despite what seems obvious.

I think most of his supporters seem to fall into 4 categories -

-Those who are conspiracists and have been preyed upon by mis/disinformation pushing/Qanon/anti-vax type opportunist grifters and con-artists like Trump.(The likes who listen to the likes of that ghoul Robert F Kennedy Jr)

-Those who are grifters like Trump and are riding along on his coattails pushing his content, basically audience building, trying to maintain publicity or stay relevant in order to make themselves money.(ie the likes of Musk, Loomer, Truss etc)

-Those who are scared of him and his cult and who are frightened about what going against him will do to their personal wealth and safety (This group contains the vast majority Republican politicians and activists)

- the largest group, sadly, are just completely thick as pigshit. Look at videos of those being interviewed at his rallies and it’s very apparent they just aren’t very well informed or knowledgable about anything at all. Some will be genuinely racist knuckle dragging numpties.
Unfortunately, plenty of decent people who feel disenfranchised and forgotten about, and who just aren’t generally very clued up or intelligent also fall into the first and last group. (See also Reform)
It’s depressing, because how do you get those decent people who’ve been caught up in it all to see the reality of their situation, and that they’ve been completely mugged? As @ThatFragranceGuy said, some just don’t want to admit it, even to themselves.

Trump isn't wealthy, all his money is in property which he can't sell. He has next to no liquid assets, hence the constant grifting (NFTs, Bibles, Coins, Watches, Trainers etc.) and funnelling all RNC donations to his various legal funds

33 days - wouldn’t be a trial before November 5th anyway, but this would probably be the last chance for prosecutors to put their case before then

There's some damning, first hand testimony in there that SHOULD sink his chances, but will it? Most probably not.
