A prosecutor, Joshua Steinglass, highlighted the lack of reciprocity in loyalty towards Donald Trump during a recent court proceeding. Steinglass pointed out that loyalty to Trump was not a two-way street, citing an example involving David Pecker, the publisher of the 'National Enquirer'.

According to Steinglass, Pecker viewed Trump as a mentor, while Trump saw him merely as a tool to be used for his benefit. The prosecutor accused Trump of corrupting those around him, coercing them to lie and cover up his actions.

Steinglass emphasized Trump's manipulative tactics, stating that individuals were expected to 'stay on message or you're out.' This assertion sheds light on the power dynamics within Trump's inner circle and raises questions about the nature of loyalty in his administration.

The revelations made in court underscore the complexities of relationships within political spheres and the ethical considerations that come into play when power dynamics are at play. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in leadership, regardless of one's position or influence.
