Or maybe it's all the same to him.

I've read this in books by Michael Wolff, Tony Schwartz and others: Former employees and associates of Chump back when he owned/managed the casinos have told stories about how he would spend entire days going through swatches of carpets and drapes, paint color chips, etc. because that's all he cared about. But when it came time to reading through contracts and mortgage inclusions, he wouldn't even bother to look at them. Chump was continually being taken advantage of because he was a terrible, neglectful businessman.
