As president, Trump was like the captain of a pirate ship.

All of his enablers, his crew, were all corrupt thieves who enabled Trump for their own self interests.

When Trump was elected every corrupt asshole in our country came running to volunteer to work aboard the pirate ship.

My first cabinet member to research was Mnuchin. It was then that I realized that our predicament was even worse than I thought. I totally agree with your pirate analogy.
