Everyone should read it.

    That’s the thing, he sells shit. He is, in every respect, a glorified used car salesman. He takes garbage and dresses it up into gilded trinkets that he pawns off on the morons who believe in him. He also definitely used Mar-a-Lago as a way to launder bribes from foreign nationals. (Yet another reason why presidents should be constitutionally required to divest everything they own before being allowed to take office.)

    Trump wants a “win”. He will keep doing what he is doing until he can say “See, I won!”. He is that petty and small minded.
