      For now, at least, I think it’s that they don’t want to be Kirked. Trump gets SS protection, but they don’t, and I’m honestly a little surprised nobody took a shot at the power behind the throne when they had the chance.

        Admin officials are very much underlings. The power behind the throne is the bank accounts of other billionaires that are also in the Epstein files.

          Maybe when the President isn’t a geriatric dementia patient, but in this case I think Steven Miller is directing policy more than Trump is.

            They’re paid for workers, doing what they’re paid to do. Trump isn’t the one directing them, he’s just a middle man collecting the profits.
