As someone outside of the US, I'm sure this is happening in other countries too but watching it from afar without a political party alliance or direct bias that I am aware of, it just seems crazy.
People like Musk, pumping in millions of dollars, running fake competitions to register to vote for Trump in swing states, then once winning being included on phone calls to other heads of states and having a top government job (What!?)
Dropping a meme coin days before joining office.
Having a large amount of people that absoutely did not support him previously, suddenly paying lots of money to his inauguration fund. Particularly big tech companies. To carry favour.
The TikTok ban, which started when he was in office and now TikTok are literally sending messages to everyone in the US with his name on and saying when he takes office they hope it gets sorted. That's like brainwashing millions of kids into supporting him, it's an incredibly unprofessional sounding message.
It seems his erratic but bold behaviour has actually worked. He won the election easily and he has got people and the other countries lining up to support him, because they know that is how he works and if they don't, they fear what he could do. It's both terrifying and interesting to watch, how he's managed to get everyone fall inline.
