    Trump was in bed with the Mafia for decades. But the real bosses knew that Donnie was a loudmouth, so they controlled him through cutouts, stooges they could walk away from if things got hot.

    Trump steals like a third rate hood. He really thinks things like NFTs and telephones are clever.

    An actual operator would have extorted $50 billion out of Saudi Arabia on Inauguration Day 2016 and just coasted.

    It’s the classic “in for a penny, in for a pound” scenario. Trump knew he was fucked if he didn’t win presidency, and will still be fucked if he ever stops being president, so there’s no more fear of making things worse for himself. He’ll do anything and everything he can think of to delay his own demise.

    I worry that when the time comes for him to leave office, he’ll pull a stunt like at the end of Shawshank Redemption, but instead of shooting himself, he’ll just launch all the nukes and take us all out with him.

    Don’t need an article to see that, every other day it seems he’s directly dipping into the treasury, not to mention the bribes.
