I am personally convinced he wants to be an oligarch just like Putin, AND that Putin and friends have helped him in many ways toward that goal. Of course, part of the bargain is being "nice" back to Putin, when he can.

It's also pretty likely if not absolutely definite he meets with various Russian oligarchs at Marilago and probably other of his properties -- at least one person on Twitter tracked some of their flights -- or yacht moorings -- into places where he was, a day or so ahead, etc.

Your explanation works as well as mine.

He a fraud who even fooled Forbes - yet Google is still reporting Forbes' evaluation of trump wealth as truth!!

Trump equates wealth with status and value as a person, as it seems most Americans also do. So the public's perception of his wealth is most important to him. In reality he is a most shallow, vacuous, psychopathic dumbass who desperately needs validation to fill his empty soul.

If this latest news doesn’t convince them that their hero is a BIG ZERO, there is no hope for them. None. It will be interesting to see how it gets spun so their guy is still okay. How much sugar has to be added to that Koolaid they are swigging?

If someone put this in a movie or book, people would say the plot in outrageous or even silly, and here we are living it.
