This is simething that has bugged me about Trump for some time. We know he's a manipulator and he likes to play games in order to get what he wants. He was also good buddies with the Democrats and the Clintons for decades up until his run for president.
While I appreciate his efforts to stand up to China and others to bring jobs back to the US, I do have to wonder if his ultimate role in the 2016 election was to disrupt the GOP applecart and hand Hillary the win. Except it backfired because, well, everyone thinks Hillary is an evil, disgusting.
So he wins. What to do? Spending the next 4 years trying to further weaken the GOP to give Dems back control seems logical (IF the original plan was to disrupt the GOP for the Clintons advantage).
I don't think he ever intended to destroy America, he just wanted to disrupt the GOP to help out his Democrat buddies. But the more his antics solidified his Republican supporters, the more desperate the left became - thus all the bullshit witch hunts, riots, and yes, Covid.
That's a lot of words to get to the point; how can you be sure he is trustworty and truly representing Republican values to the best of his ability, and that his (what some would call "offensive") rhetoric isn't intended to destroy the Republican party? Especially given his background and close association with the Clintons?
That thought has always been stuck in the back if my mind. If he's always been this much of a racist, homophobic, misogynistic, offensive asshole, surely the left would have "cancelled" him long before the Presidential run of 2016 - except for the fact that he was "one of them" at the time.
How can you trust that his intentions as a Republican are pure?
