mbs won't forget, but trump always forgets. He has no loyalty, has never had any loyalty and has screwed pretty much everyone who has trusted him. Anyone who doesn't realize the consistency in that pattern in his actions is a fool.

You can shower Trump with praise, lavish him with gifts, bribe him with money, be his loyal lapdog... and he'll still screw you over.

Maybe they should give Kushner another couple billion.
