But sure, let’s put the guy who runs that company in charge of the entire U.S. government

The epitaph of the United States of America will be exactly fourteen words long.

Just know that the utterly horrific or unconstitutional thing he's doing right now is just meant to distract you from the 15 other utterly horrific or unconstitutional things he is doing right now.
