A great deal of money also.. as we know, the mountain of money fellow criminals can make with trump in power is enormous.
So it follows that promoting him is a high priority for the lowest elements in America

Number of the Day: $456 Million
PhRMA, the lobbying group that represents the pharmaceutical industry, had a banner year in 2017, bringing in $456 million in revenue, Axios reported Tuesday. Much of the total, which represents a 69 percent boost from the year before, came from an increase in membership dues.
Where did the money go? “Pretty much everywhere,” Axios’ Bob Herman and Caitlin Owens said, although conservative think tanks and advertising firms got more of the lobbying group’s enormous pile of cash.
The biggest single donation to a political group — $2.5 million — went to America First Policies, a “dark money” nonprofit that promotes Trump’s agenda. Another $1.5 million went to the American Action Network, which the Center for Responsive Politics says gave $22 million to the conservative Congressional Leadership Fund this e******n cycle.
But PhRMA spread its money around, giving to both political parties and to candidates all around the country at both the national and local levels — “presumably ensuring friendly faces will be located in plenty of places,” Axios said.
