Trump will tell you how “amazing” you are because you fawn over him and all his money and his pronouncements. But the second you lose your ardor for him, or question him, your usefulness to him is over and he will turn on a dime and hit out at you and demand that everyone who wants to bask in his great light, must turn against you too.
