27. If "Bill is fearful Trump will cancel his show" then he's a cowardly money-grubber

He's 69. He could just be a liberal, stop sucking up to Trump, and see what happens. It's what the honorable talk-show hosts are doing - and they're younger, with more of their career ahead of them. It's not the end of the world if HBO succumbs to pressure and bins the show. He could go on substack, if he thought he was censoring himself at HBO. It works for Paul Krugman.

But I don't think he's "fearful". I think he genuinely supports Trump's attacks on Iran, and kidnapping Maduro. He has always been a libertarian. He's not "struggling". He's in control of what he says, and he's showing his true colors.
