Trump would be his idea of the Tycoon (more likely a TyCon, I think) in Atlas Shrugged, I guess. Someone to follow as he leads you into an anti-libertarian blind alley.

Did he miss the part where all the witnesses who willingly came forward corroborated and added to everything the whistle blower said? Didn't he hear that the person who wishes to remain anonymous has been outed already and has had several death threats because of it?

He's being a mega (or maga) jerk that should learn to stfu.

He became a Putinite sometime in the mid-2010's. His behavior is telling.
