I know it's technically unrelated, but…

and

just don't sit together properly in my mind. The fish rots from the head.

I get what you're saying, but it's merely because Trump has shown that he's easy to manipulate and can basically be bought. If it were any other Republican coming into office this wouldn't be happening. Not to spout off too much, but as usual, the right shows that all of their nonsense posturing is just projection. "Drain the swamp, stop government corruption", and yet the powerful are literally buying Trump's support.

> because Trump has shown that he's easy to manipulate

If he is easy to manipulate then why didnt Democrats manipulate him and then win the election?

Harris certainly baited and manipulated Trump on the national debate stage

There were/are a lot of people manipulating him on the Republican side which outweighs anything the Democrats could have done

> Harris certainly baited and manipulated Trump on the national debate stage

and yet she lost, so who baited who?

Harris baited Trump on the debate stage, the later outcome does not change this fact, as that was determined by other factors and around 100k voters
