You have to stop assuming that Trump is even trying to do a good job. He's trying to get as rich as possible.

Oh, and revenge on anyone, no matter how petty the offense was.

there was "talk" that Saudi Arabia and the UAE paid Krasnov an enormous sum of money to invade Iran.

A conspiracy theory that is very believable for me.

was his dine and dash rich scheme.

We grossly underestimated him. He had decades to hone his scamming abilities, and portfolios full of blackmail material to subdue anyone who came after him.

I seriously believe that he's been given a medical prognosis that has convinced him that he has nothing to lose. I swear, any doctor who withheld this information should be sentenced to life imprisonment.

That's how these things work. They try to transfer their loot to their family members. Trump will try to go through a laundering process, but if the Dems are in office, they will hire the best to follow the money.

No amount will be enough to extend his life much. The bitterness he will taste from learning that makes me smile.

He was like that in Manhattan, and Florida. Like a used car salesman with a different story every other breath. Always jivin' one more spin so you can't put the squeeze on him. Always on the dodge.
The only way to pin him down is under oath in front of a judge, or just kick him till he stops talking. That's what you do with blowhards and bullies.

Oil has been going up for the past few days. How much you wanna bet that the short orders are lining up in the stock market waiting for another peace plan, big gift or statement that Iran is defeated. That will lower the oil price and Voilà! The short orders are cashed out. It's already been done to the tune of billions of dollars since the war started.
