Also, Philip, remember that Trump (like any other uber-wealthy, power-hungry businessman, wanted to enter politics and become president) and so he initially approached Dems. They were like, "Nope." He then approached the GOP, and they said, "Nope." One day, Trump was at some event, and guess who he ran into? He ran into some Heritage Foundation donors or high-ranking members, and that's when the match in heaven was made: EUREKA! The corporate-fascist-Christian-alliance gang found their agent: A Rich, celebrity-status, charismatic outsider who is popular, skillfully deceptive, and fearless. Trump did not choose MAGA. MAGA chose him, and he turned out to be the best pick. And the rest is history. Trump smoked the Dems and the GOP in 5 minutes.
