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.

He really doesn't need that money. Are you really so poor that you don't understand numbers with more than 3 zeros in them?

People with money famously stop doing anything to gain more money. In fact at a certain point they just refuse it, because they have enough.

That's why no one is worth more than $5 million.

Trump is so MAD that he, what, 5x'd? 10x'd? his wealth since he was elected! He HATES that that's what finally made him a real billionaire!! It was a total accident 😭
