29. It's called ignorance.

No MAGA will support her, whatever "bringing home the bacon" she thought she did will inevitably be held over her head long enough that she will need to continue to kiss the ass of the most unpopular president ever at this point in his term, and with projects such as those, she could have just held out till Democrats regained power and most likely secured the same sort of arrangement, without all the fascist strings attached.

She probably already killed her presidential hopes when she was photographed in the White House hiding her face because Trump and his MAGAts were treating her like a useful idiot, but if that didn't seal the deal, this sure did.

And whatever """bacon""" she is bringing home, even if she does manage to continue kissing Trump's ass for it to actually materialize, it inevitably won't come close to the unfortunate significance of her cozying up to a wannabe dictator.

Her hopes for achieving higher office have been snuffed out with her deplorable performance post-Trump inauguration.
