Remember when TFG refused to put his business dealing into a trust like previous presidents, saying.....

......that his idiot sons would run his company for him. Now we learn that the moron's daily hands-on control of the business extended all the way to daily (!) overnight mailings of checks that he "needed" to sign. Of course no check could go out from the Trump organization without the big, dumb, arrogant signature that he is so fucking proud of.

He was allowed to do this for 4 years. The trial brought it all out into the open.

...it's just that previous presidents abided by that "unwritten rule" simply because they felt it was the right thing to do.

He is too much of a control freak.

It was yet another lie he told the American people.

banks except for Putin as long as he was useful to him. It was about avoiding bankruptcy. Now in addition it's about avoiding jail.

Trump has created a prison of his own. He has no choices. He has to run, and he has to win. I guess a narcissist never has regrets, never say "I wish I hadn't done this, what have I done?"
He has to just go on blaming others. It will destroy him in the end, win or lose.
But if he wins, he'll destroy us too.

up to others. All I know is that I don't have buildings with my name on them.

However we can agree that his actions were NEVER in the best interest of America as much as in his OWN best interest.

He's never given a flying fk about anyone save himself.
