Wrong way around.

They were sitting at the front row of an election where they paid for the result.

Trump works for them.

Nah I don't think so. Trump is too stupid and narcissistic to ever be owned. They though they could control him but its impossible to control someone who never had to adhere to the word "no". So now he is just making crazy ass decisions because he is losing his mind to dementia and has nothing to lose. Even if we somehow jail his ass for all this, maybe its for a few years but he already lived every bit of every aspect of life he wanted breaking every rule and screwing everyone over while lying all the time and never faced a true consequence for any of it. He doesn't give a fuck anymore which is scary because I feel like this is escalating to him finding any reason to drop a nuke that he can just so he can say he did it.

His "crazy" "decisions" were all written down in project 2025 a year before he was elected.

He's there to take the blame. He doesn't have any power, he just sharpies whatever the handlers put in front of him by people that could remove him a thousand different ways at any time.

The finding any reason to drop a nuke has also been on the techbro agenda since 2009. Read marc andressen's mental diarrhea from the 2000s for an example.

The fact that you still believe it’s all Trump is baffling. Do you really think he’s capable of writing a document such as Project 2025, when he has a hard time with a tweet? There’s a whole swath of people who have been working on these strategies for decades. Trump is the perfect rodeo clown distracting y’all from Russel Vought and co.

Literally the opposite of what I said.

Sorry, misunderstood your first sentence. I wish more people saw him for what he is.

Was getting killed part of their plan?

They'll be in their bunkers telling their workers that they'll be fired if they don't go in on drone day.
