"Reformed" grifters.
They understand the various motivations and weaknesses of their fellow humans well enough that if they weren't so greedy or selfishly ambitious - and truly honest with themselves - they could be a force for significant progress.
As it is now, they are good for pointing out flaws.

Ya, he's got a new grift going. But he's still an astute predator.

... 10 or 11 days in the White House in 2016. Nobody left or right gave a hoot on his opinions after his boot in 2016. Where's his voice been the last nine or ten years in his struggle to develop some sort of relevance? Now that Trump is FINALLY going down he jumps in. After MT Greene did a year ago.

That said, he said a lot I absolutely agree with, most of what he said was right on.

I mean Lookit MTG… she’s right on but my God, remember the shit that used to come out of her mouth?

He was President in 2019. Now that he's in his second term and not doing well and he knows he's going to be dead soon he wants to destroy everyone around probably with the exception of Ivanka and Baron. And yes, he hates Vance, Rubio, he'll turn on Hegseth, Wiles, and Blanche eventually too.

He doesn't care if there's a nuclear war. He almost dead. In his mind, as long as he had more money than anyone else when the world as we know it ended, he wins.
