That's what happens when you reveal that you're not a big lib. That's what keeps so many people in line with it. Elon Musk and Trump both famous, wealthy, and popular. Went off the plantation and now they're both Hitler, or perhaps worse.

Up until The Apprentice, Trump was widely considered a clown. For example, in the '80s and '90s, NYC-based Spy Magazine made fun of him regularly: https://www.boweryboyshistory.com/2015/08/spy-vs-trump-the-b...
As with many notable people today (e.g. Kim Kardashian), reality TV drastically elevated his profile and gave him an enduring fan base.
