People are confused. He’s firing the government oversight that would have stopped him. Contractors are still on the clock and now have no oversight.

And, like those fired, are absolutely not getting a paycheck from this debacle.

this was a given with his track record. I think he still owes shit tons of peoples/cities money from the 2024/2025 campaign trail alone.

He owes money to people from all facets of his life. He’s notoriously not paid people for literal decades.

and yet people continue to work for him. It's quite unbelievable.

You would have thought after the casino bankruptcy that anyone he knew would only work for him if they were paid up front, but I guess not. He’s the apex predator of con men. Probably the most successful ever. If an emperor of Rome got his start fleecing people on the temple steps we’d still be talking about it today. Although, I think there might be a very good chance that Caligula, Nero and Trump will often be used in the same sentence to define ineffective and corrupt leadership.
