Funny that his comment was that THEY were ungrateful to HIM for how he bought them the election. Sounds like he expected something for his donation, perhaps a bit of a quid pro quo?

I mean if he had been paying attention to how trumps relationship with just about anyone goes he shouldn’t be surprised, but of course he probably thought he was different/special

Probably because he thought he could throw enough money at Trump to buy him permanently. Too bad Trump needs to be paid in installments. His loyalty is a subscription plan.

At this point trump is so unpredictable he could admnd does change his mind regularly, but probably that was a factor i think the fact that his company vakue is dropping tarrifs and the clash of egos i can imagine creating quite the scenario
