He got your vote, and now he no longer needs you.
Your kids were never important to him.
He's very good at giving the illusion of caring, and relies on fools like you to focus on the false belief that he cares.
Actually he does care...he cares about money in his pocket, power he can wield, and control he can assert over each and everyone of us.
And that's it.
