14. Like you said, he lives in a bubble.

A bubble made up of luxurious surroundings and layers of sycophants who tell him what he wants to hear. Sure, his wife despises him, but he can always buy female companionship from women who are good at pretending they like their customers.

Running for office - what does that really entail for him? He flies somewhere, gets up in front of his nutbag supporters, rants about his grievances, basks in their adoration for a couple of hours, and leaves.

The legal challenges - those are the lawyers’ problems. Except of course when he feels like making a campaign stop.

The money - now that just might actually affect him - or it might not. But up to now he’s gotten away with never paying his dues, and no doubt the lawyers are telling him all will be well - so no worries yet.

He does APPEAR to have stamina, but the truth is all he really does is make cameo appearances once in a while. The rest of the time he’s hanging out stuffing his face or riding around in a golf cart. Not really that hard.
