    I feel like speaking out against Trump is a great way to get a job for him.

    If you’re willing to backpedal and support him for money and influence then he knows you are spineless and unprincipled. That means he knows exactly how to control you.

      That’s actually an old Stalinist tactic. Force your underlings to lie in obvious ways. You know they lied, the public knows they lied, they know the public knows. It’s an act of obedience.
