It's not pandering, it is grifting and actively trying to kill his 'base'. He wouldn't touch those people or invite them to his table IRL. He's the Swanson Chicken heir and has a trust fund. His 'base' is his base of schmucks that he can actively work against.
What gets me is how hard the math is for them to do to figure out that 'billionaires' don't need their money if they are all that rich. It's just a long con, and if the conned die along the way, all the better for him and his cronies as it gives them more room to ride their horsies or play in the pampered lifestyle. Bet he's never seen a day of hard work in his life.
Amazes me that the same people who knew what was up when the man wanted to send them off to fight wars they'd never take part in are now being duped by such obvious conmen (and women).
However, I'm beyond stopping their freedumb to die for them.
Have a nice day. Don't worry, be happy!
