Never forget who owns America:
In 2024, Murdoch, Musk, Thiel, et al. saw Trump as most likely to run their far-right agenda. Vance (Thiel's protege) as VP was part of the deal.
And why is Trump popular with tens of millions of lesser educated, racist, white men? They love that he hates the same people they do.
They loved it when he said, "I am your retribution". They just didn't know he hated them as well.
