Everyone knew.

The judges who saw the red flags. The CEOs who pretended to admire him. The donors who grumbled in private. The newspapers who used euphemisms instead of names. The Democrats who warned, but then moved on.

They knew the system was rigged to tolerate him. They counted on that tolerance to protect them.

But systems are made of people. And people blinked.

Trump’s power isn’t just about force. It’s about impunity. He learned that as a developer. Perfected it with Epstein. Institutionalized it with a party. And now, he runs a country that mistook complexity for accountability.

This isn’t just a warning. It’s a reckoning. You can’t pretend to be shocked by a fire you helped fuel.

And yes—you knew.
