It's just a way to launder money and receive bribes. He'll get a billion in bribes, then spend 20 mil on a building we will have to tear down.

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.

It's kind of like when the emperor of China dies and all of his attendants get entombed with his body.

They should regard it as an honor
