Trump, the Capitalist


“The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.”
― Vladimir Lenin


Donald Trump's love for money has always been his Achilles heel. It is so great that he would sell out his country for a dollar. He had little problem with cutting corners here and there.

Eventually, "cutting corners" became something much larger. He and his Organization began to create huge holes in breaking the laws. After all, "laws" were for little people.

Capitalism had a distorted meaning in his distorted views of being wealthy. His love of money was the rope that the Russians used to hang him.

In his quest for fame and wealth, he cheated people. He used the justice system to intimidate his opponents, as witnessed by the more than 3500 lawsuits in which he has been involved.

Finally, his reputation became known in the banking circles of the United States and he was unable to get the loans to continue his lifestyle of fame and fortune.

It was then that he searched for contacts in Russia, beginning with his Miss Universe contest there in 2013. He learned that people like Paul Manafort had connections in the banking system of that part of the world.

His search for money was a fatal weakness.
