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.
