I would have thought that anyone who saw the evilgelical faith leaders surrounding Trump, anyone who saw Trump lead the Republican party into passing the largest tax cut for the 1% ever, anyone who saw Trump's unabashed admiration for Mohammed bone Sawman, Kim Jong Un, Orbán, Bolsanada, etc., anyone who saw Trump being supported by Sillycon Valley authoritarian techbros, would have found it intuitively obvious that Trump was a tool, an incredibly flawed tool, for people who are emblematic of the most depraved sort of humans to exist.
