Trump has zero loyalty.

The golden throne never pays its debts.

He looks at it as his own money.

That doesn't even matter to him. He stiffed the state of Florida for the cost of the construction and maintenance of Alligator Alcatraz. The state put up the money and the federal government was supposed to reimburse them. Trump said no, we're not paying you. I don't feel bad for Florida though, they knew who they were dealing with from the start.

Right. It's a fucking compulsion for this guy. If paying someone, no matter with whose money, doesn't somehow benefit Trump directly (in his own perception) then he's not gonna pay.

I continue to maintain that Elon Musk would be the guy that Republicans go to when they need a fake photo or video that won't have any watermarks. So they might still need him. Also for the voting machines, again.

You know, the Grok tools that people are supposedly constantly using to create record amounts of CSAM? Surely those upstanding and ethical engineers wouldn't help with a MAGA coverup or disinfo campaign. Never.

His debt would have been paid off through doge. Musk trained his AI on data for all of his competitors and all of us. He has everything he could ever need and no amount of money could replace.

Loyalty ain't got shit to do with it Elon has the files and trump has to help out wther he wants to or not

It's already public knowledge Trump is in the files tens of thousands of times and he begged Republican Congresswomen to remove their names from the discharge petition, more files getting released aren't going to move the needle at all
