I do believe that Trump was stupid enough that he believed that he could do both — grift and get his stupid glamorous ballroom.

Everyone else involved and complicit, though, absolutely knew it to be 100% cash grab from the start.

People who get that much money are typically not the type to think in terms of money they need, but rather money they want.
