Why Republicans Hate Trump

September 25, 2019 Buck Banks

— A veteran Republican strategist, quoted by Vanity Fair.

Buck Banks | Sep. 1, 2026

Trump’s renaming of Lake Ontario has created a litmus test —

    “They’ve invested heavily in AI labs. They’ve invested heavily in data centers. So, the first family has a financial stake in this industry, and as a result, the president of the United States is compromised.”

    — Jane Haman
