(852 posts)Burgum is 69, a billionaire, and he will never be President or V.P. Yet he chooses to humiliate himself by worshipping at the altar of Trump.

(131,805 posts)in order to climb the ladder or keep their jobs or avoid being primaried, but what's the motivation for a guy like Burgum? Sure, Trump could sack him if he didn't keep up the ass-kissing and probably would, but so what? He's stinking rich and too old for a serious future career in politics. Maybe he's worried about protecting his business interests from some vindictive move by Trump? I can't think of any other rational reason why some of these people are so eager to sacrifice their dignity. Is there a tailor in D.C. who specializes in reinforcing the knees of men's suit pants?

I hope they know just how pathetic they look to the rest of us.
And all these people should have figured out by now that getting involved with Trump in the first place is like the Hotel California or the Mafia: You can never check out. You opt in at the beginning because you think you'll benefit politically or financially, but then you realize you have to keep wearing out your lips on his butt because the minute you stop kissing you'll find a horse's head in your bed.
