doesn't apply to him. It does apply to Spanky, which he can't seem to figure out. I think he thinks being president is exactly like being appointed CEO of a corporation, so now the United States is just one of his businesses that he can milk like he did the others.

That’s why he’s decided to be the first US Dictator.

I suspect the first thought he has on every single thing his brain engages is how he can make money off it. It’s a 24/7/365 thing for him. And his second thought is probably about how to scam it into existence. It’s just automatic for him. The path of least resistance.
