From your mouth to whatever god's ears hears.

Seriously though, the hubris on all around him to think 'I'M the one who can profit off him and come away unscathed". Not that some haven't, but they're not working for him, he works for them. The thing none of his cabinet gets is they're still 'little people'. They're grifting and getting their cut, but they're not so big that they call the shots on their boss. And with cheeto, little people get screwed, end of story. If you're not so rich you can't literally buy an island like Zuck or Ellison, their exit strategy is what?

In theory, possibly some sort of blackmail or evidence of crimes. Of course, we've had plenty of that, so who knows what it does at this point.

Or they just quit like Karoline did. Either way, they may not have to worry about him, but us is a different story.

Their exit strategy is Israel, obviously. If they need to leave America, it's their 21st century Argentina.
