Not at all. He’d still do the evil stuff that benefits him personally, or that he does out of spite, or that he does because it riles up his supporters. Honestly, he’d probably still do some things to benefit Putin for free too, just to help out someone he admires. Still, I think he’d do less (or at least different) evil stuff if no one had been willing to buy him.
What would be notably different, I think, would be the amount of “disrespect” he puts up with from his buyers. Elon hasn’t once been publicly deferential to Trump, when everyone else he’s working with has to toe the line very carefully or get fired
I would say anyone looking for buyers on favor is inherently a bad person, especially if those favors are always anti-“the one thing you’re supposed to do”
Doesnt this assume that if it weren’t for evil people giving trump money, that he would be a good person?
