Trump is acting like a not-too-bright spoiled rich kid whose daddy bought him a very expensive toy but he has no idea what to do with it.
Putin is Daddy and we're the toy.

Trump is a con man. He has ALWAYS been a con man. He got to the point where no USA banks would touch him with a 100-ft pole. So he turned to the only source of funding he could still access - Russian mob backed "banks". They laundered their money through loans and purchases of properties from Trump. In return, Don the Con got to stay in the life he was accustomed to with the pay back to come later.
Now is later.

(73,525 posts)By the mid 1990s he was failing @ all his businesses and only Russian money
propped him up in order to keep up the facade that he wealth came from his
businesses. After awhile Trump was no longer running new businesses but selling
his name and the faux idea that you too could be wealthy like if bought into the
likes of; Trump U., Trump Network, & Trump Institute.
The Russian money allowed Trump to still pretend that he was a wealthy and powerful
businessman on his fake show, The Apprentince.
BTW Trump's military prep school was no doubt a rich kid's reform school.
You are right Trump is just a con man and a cheat.
