Totally agree on that, public flattery's a very common tribute in international politics. So I'll ask again, are we of the opinion that Trump is being paid by actors, foreign or domestic, to enact change here?

I do believe that. We are talking about the admin that launched Trumpcoin which soared to tens of billions in market cap in the last few days.

So, just to make it very clear what I implied, yes. I believe he and his organisations receive benefits, directly or not, in money or other forms, for him steering policy towards what’s convenient to whoever is paying.

An easy way is for TikTok to just promise to algorithm away any criticism of him in the US.

Like every other politician. Trump is just less subtle about it.

Politicians take political decisions, not logical ones.
