The question must be asked. He and his silver spoon kids seem to be making illegal, unethical business deals right and left, in clear violation of the law. The only explanation I can come up with is that he is planning to sneak out of Washington in the middle of the night in order to escape responsibility for the mess he has created---and he plans to rake in as much money as possible before he goes.
I have always suspected that he was not really trying to win. If he expected to win, why did he make so many ludicrous promises--like cheap, all inclusive health care for his entire base? Give me a break! Even an idiot knew that could not happen. I think he was just pretending to run and never expected to be forced to deliver on his promises---and then Putin and Exxon got together and said "We want value for all that money we have squandered on Trump. We'll steal the election. Then he will have to give us what we want---or we'll show the world the golden showers tapes."
Since Trump knows his days are numbered, literally anything goes. He will abuse the power of his office to sell weapons to anyone who can give him cash.He will accept foreign bribes to put U.S. soldiers on the ground in any conflict---none of HIS kids will have to fight or die. He will aid financiers as they break the law and steal the pensions from orphans and widows. He will raid the federal tax coffers in order to pay people to do things like build shitty walls that will fall down in the first hurricane, and prisons for immigrants that will never be used, and bridges to nowhere and back---and he will collect a generous commission on each bogus transaction.
Face it, America. Trump is Harold Hill. He has sold you a marching band that will never play--except in the deluded imaginations of the Make American White Again crowd who will always remain convinced that Trump could have been a great president if he had just been given a chance.
