I don’t think they’re making that claim, just that Trump is easy to manipulate and buy off for anyone with the means. Everything is negotiable with him.
My own thought is that the wealthy corpos absolutely can and do purchase US politicians, but some of them have some philosophical guardrails that preclude stepping over certain issues. That number, however, seems to be shrinking the longer we have politicians who are allowed to get fat off of the people.

K. Which president does that not equally apply to? Could probably count on one or two hands the number congresspeople that can’t be bought.
