The kicker is that these guys all had it made before Trump was President. They did not have to kowtow to anyone. They were truly Kings of the World.

Now despite their "success", despite being filthy rich, despite being powerful entities that can move markets and destroy corporations and destabilize nations, they have fallen back on being the pitiful child being bullied by the big stupid kid.

They supported this guy because they wanted even more money and power. Now they grovel on their bellies before him, praising the demented Child-King in desperate hope of getting a smile, a nod, any expression of favor.

How does that power feel, guys? Do you like licking the boots of a man unfit to be left alone in a room with a child? Does it bring back memories of your childhood when the school bully shoved you around? Do you enjoy watching your every word because anything you say that doesn't please him will ignite his temper?

Do you like cowering like a kicked dog before a man who molests children, cheats in every way he can, and doesn't have the sense not to stare into the sun?
