I thought Trump always has the best things or......

he is very rich and as he says “I alone can fix everything”? Then, why is he begging for money to buy a new plane? He is and is why? The ridiculous thing about this? There will people sending him the money and he will put it in his pocket! And I just wonder if really had issues with his plane? More like looking for headline from saying he had to have an emergency landing!? But oh well, it is money I am going keep in my pocket!

He may be the most successful grifter ever, other than the religious shams.

it's the repeat suckers. Even the religious hucksters don't brazenly let their marks find out they've been grifted.

MF45 does and they still empty their wallets. That's amazing.

Let’s say he wants a new $100 million jet. Let’s say he has $5 billion. Let’s say I pulled those two numbers out of the air because they’re easy to work with.

If you had $5 billion, wanted a $100 million jet and had five million rabid fans who would do anything you say, would you spend $100 million of your own money…or would you ask your fans to buy it for you?

Well…so would Trump.

He is a con man. He knows how to appeal to other idiots and take their money. His entire career, apart from the real estate empire (which his father actually wanted to give to the older son, but he didn't want it) given to him by his daddy, has been about conning people and institutions. He gets money or services from suckers (including banks) then he welches on payment, or re-payment. He cooks his books and relies on the apathy and loopholes in our justice system (for rich people) so that he never has to pay back the full amount of anything.
