Trump humiliates them, treats them with disdain, calls them names, if they should ever say one tiny word against him, he goes after them with a vengeance. Trump has no loyalty to anyone no matter how much they suck up to him. Remember Patty Hearst and others who were kidnapped and tormented and then ended up supporting the very people who tortured and captured them.

Speak the truth, and speak it ever.
Cost it what it will.
For he who hides the wrong he did
Did the wrong thing still.

What the ''family values'' party practices

Lie and lie and lie forever
That's the Trumpian creed
Power and wealth are all that matter
Their only god is greed

They now believe only the most corrupt survive, and only those people are allowed to prosper.
