The oligarchs would “take care” of trump before it got that bad for them

Until they can't. Part of the progression of fascism is that the fascist leaders are beholden to business leaders until suddenly it's inverted. Oligarchs are free to oppose putin so long as they're comfortable being defenistrated.

Trump and business leaders are clearly in a push and pull at the moment. But the second trump can send bezos to prison or seize his assets for opposition the rich will become just as subjected to the party as the rest of us.
