Yes, He is Weird--and Corrupt

 

Donald Trump and Adin Ross dancing is just weird!

Seriously, does someone tell him this is good for his poll numbers? pic.twitter.com/RBYvRVFmev

I don't know a whole lot about Adin Ross, the streamer who gifted Trump a Rolex and a Cybertruck with a wrap of his attempted assassination pose, but I think it's interesting that Trump just thinks his weird dancing, the tackiness of this display, and openly praising Kim Jong-Un and Venezuela's Maduro to a seat-sniffer are somehow not weird.

Like the choice of JD Vance for running mate, this is a thing his sons encouraged.  I do not know if gifts were a factor in his decision to do the stream, but I do know he doesn't seem opposed to them.

We still only know so much about what looks like a "gift" (or bribe) from his favorite dictator, Al-Sisi, because he had AG Bill Barr shut that investigation down. We know he does love himself some dictators, though. .And he loves billionaires. And what government can do for himself. 

I will never understand the people who want to believe this weirdo is a "man of the people" who will do anything for them. That he even says such things in the midst of this circus is the line a would-be dictator would feed people. But at bottom, he is just about selling access. 

And he is very weird.
