They did this with Reagan, but Reagan was smarter than Trump, and understood the rules of common decency, even if he was just as callous, and indifferent. He didn't bite that hand that fed him, and knew his place. He was a "face," and knew it. Reagan could be controlled. Trump cannot, even if most of his actions benefit his masters. So far, Trump has been a useful idiot for the billionaire's goals, but he's losing his mind, and let his latest election think he's God.

There's a reason these billionaire funded think tanks target frustrated and failed entertainers. Failed script writers, actors, stand up comedians, musicians. They all crave success, adulation, power, and most importantly... money. Which the billionaires have falling out of their asses.

They're all narcissists. Seriously, look into the past ambitions of people like Shapiro, Walsh, Pool, Owens, Crowder, Rogan, etc. All failed entertainers, or entertainment adjacent. It makes a lot of sense to enlist these people.

And then you have insignificant "intellectuals," who never made groundbreaking discoveries, like Jordan, and those two brothers I can't remember the names of, and don't care to find out. You know the ones. They crave adulation, power, and money, too. More narcissism.
