The scariest part of this is the fact that he couldn't do all of this himself.

He has so many people, including the rnc and gop, who smiled and signed and subcontracted and generally enabled this tsunami of destruction.
None of them walked away and said, "the guy's a dumpsterfire. I'm outtahere."
No! They all smiled and shook hands and built golf courses and casinos and hotels and condos and bought themselves new cars and second vacation homes.
It takes thousands of mindless, greedy, clueless fools not to see this gangster for what he is.
