    It’s not “Trump’s USA”, he’s just one tiny, orange facet of the same beast, which is world-wide (with USA being the source).

    NVIDIA, Apple, Amazon, Walmart, et al find Trump very useful as he is motivated by greed alone.

        How so? USA is money central, the capital of the biggest economy since at least WW2.

        I’m not saying the original source, I didn’t mean to imply that. I think that would be the banks if I had to pick just one.

        Who do you think is the source today or how far do you go back?

        Ha! I guess.

          Based on what we learned in the very short window when Twitter let people see location information about specific accounts, I think we can trace a lot of Trump’s “grassroots” support back to Russia.

            Russia has a much smaller economy, not even equivalent to California.

            I think you give them too much credit, Trump even played a rich businessman on TV; he’s an “ideal” Republican candidate (name recognition and for sale to highest bidder)
