Why doesn't the following question get asked more often?

Why are billionaires so determined to end American constitutional democracy?

Is it the judicial corruption?

Is it the campaign finance transparency investigations?

Is it the money laundering?

Is it the taxes?

Is it the crony capitalism & AI surveillance state?

Is it the foreign flood of cash into GOP campaigns?

He has drugs awaiting FDA approval and several mergers & acquisitions on the go.

Trump & his operatives are skilled at Kompromat & threats.
