Yeah, I agree with you generally (I don't think Congress is that important in this context; it's more the Executive Branch), I just don't see how that supports the above poster, unless one assumes that a Republican is going to win in 2024.

But at this point, who knows who will win?

edit: oh you are the above poster lol

If there are two parties and you think one party might abuse the Presidency to help/harm your business, and the other won't... which one are you going to spend time ingratiating yourself with?

Wouldn't the prudent course be to avoid making oneself a political character at all?

Yes. It really would. Which is why I think he's going to back off of this bid after bidding the price up and flirting with it.
