Bannon and the rest were still shilling for Trump before the election, though, so even if they’re no longer the inner circle favorites, they’re doing exactly as predicted: screwing up their faces and falling in line for another chance to be in proximity to power. They enjoy being in the in-group more than they care about their agendas. If they had any real conviction towards their personal goals, they would have dumped Trump long ago.

I expect the same from the billionaires he’s keeping in his orbit this time around, and they’ll fall in line like everybody else has done before them, because whatever character and self-respect they had left was sold to Trump for their own mere chance at power and enrichment.
