I wonder if he thinks it was worth it

[captain queeg]

trump never expected to be president and he really didn't want it. Still, for 4 years e had all the power and media exposure he ever dreamed of. Also grifted more money than he'd managed to in his life before. But in tipical trump fasion he managed to fuck it all up and will leave office as a huge failure, he's exposed himself as the loser he is and will be forever remembered as such. He had a good scam going before and he's probably lost that as well, he won't be able to soak the rubes enough to pay for all his other failed businesses.

1. he's probably wondering where it all went wrong

Hint dumbass: The escalator

[rsdsharp]

7. Exactly. This has been the longest 5 1/2 years in history.

He came down that escalator 5 1/2 years ago tomorrow. I had just turned 61. I’m 172 now.

10. I was 59

And now ... I am 159

This has been, by far, the worst period of time I have endured

2. I wonder if he thinks

[RainCaster]

11. That was my first thought

3. I get the impression that his refusal to admit he made a mistake and constant falling back to

"I'm the victim, I've been mistreated" is not an act for the public or his interlocutors, that he says it to himself in private as much as he says it in public.

4. He thinks he did a great job, he loved the attention and perks. We shall see how much money he got

from various sources during the 4 yrs. Probably quite a bit.

Yes he has legal battles ahead of him but he always finds attorneys and doesn't have to pay them.
He can string out the legal battles for years. And only surround himself with adoring Magats.

His spawn, however, may bitterly regret the whole episode as they see their lives turned upside down.

6. On the one hand he claims he lost sooo much money

and at the same time he says his boys are running things. He publicly slaps his own kids around other than Ivanka.

8. I think it is safe to say he has been raking in money hand over fist via various schemes and wrong

doing. Jared helped him and took a big cut.

I have heard reports that Trump was physically abuse to the two older male children.

5. I've wondered about that for 4 years

We’re pretty sure Melania enjoyed almost none of it.

He isn’t stupid but I don’t think he understood a lot of what he did. At first it was a lot of Bannon but throughout its really been Miller and those who have contact with Miller. Seemingly small little things that make a big difference and all over the place.

I don’t see him doing time or not having money as many predict. I do see him as someone for whom time will not be kind. As bad as it looks now, it will look worse. He doesn’t have the establishment behind him to change or even blur the lines as they did for W. So many dead and he so drastically disconnected from all of it.

9. He's still thinking it's not over yet

He’s insane from what I can observe.
