              Literally look at how much attention it’s getting him!

              Never mind the real goal - he’s got an established far reaching platform, he doesn’t care about those leaving it, he cares about those staying, that’s who he’s pandering to - the bigots and the companies openly willing to do business with bigots. And he now has his own media outlet that is aimed directly at them.
