Words That Don’t Fit Trump #1: Trust

Behind every failed Trump venture is a trail of people who trusted him.

Contractors stiffed. Investors conned. Voters seduced, then sacrificed. Even his closest allies learn eventually: loyalty is never mutual. It’s conditional. Temporary. Transactional.

Trust, to him, is just the bait.

It’s how he got the country to follow him into a pandemic with no plan. How he got a mob to storm the Capitol. How he convinced working people that a billionaire playboy who dodges taxes and pays hush money was their champion.

You don’t have to fall for it again. You don’t have to believe that someone like him can be “different this time.” You don’t have to confuse dominance with leadership.

Trust, real trust, requires integrity. And that word doesn’t fit Trump either.
