      Because the arsehole has the money to impose his views on others all over the world. Also hopefully making his name and associated companies dirt might actually start impacting his bottom line.

        ^^^THIS RIGHT HERE! ^^^

        It’s very hard to overstate how much power this asshole’s wealth gives him. People joke about it all the time, but he is effectively above the law. For some reason, people equate his wealth with intelligence, so they listen to him. When the disagree with anything he says, that wealth/intelligence pops up and they assume he knows something they don’t.

        He is an incredibly dangerous person. Especially so, given his obvious fascist and racist tendencies.

      wealth is control, and people who have a lot of control and power should be closely monitored. ideally people should be prevented from having such exaggerated control, but you work with what you got i guess.
