  • Bending the knee because you agree with him on Israel, deregulation or cutting government spending won't fix the gaping wound in American democracy.

The article from MSNBC discusses the concerns raised by Democrats and political observers about the influence of billionaire donors on American democracy, particularly in light of Donald Trump's interactions with wealthy individuals. It highlights how Trump, despite his populist image, has courted and received significant financial support from billionaires, which contradicts his narrative of fighting against the establishment. The piece points out that these donors, often motivated by tax benefits and deregulation, might be undermining democratic principles by backing candidates who could potentially weaken democratic institutions. Critics argue that this financial backing not only influences policy but also sways public opinion through media and campaign spending, thereby skewing the political landscape in favor of the wealthy. The article also touches on the broader implications of such financial dynamics, suggesting that democracy could be at risk when policy-making becomes heavily influenced by a small group of affluent individuals.
