He could have stayed in NYC scamming contractors and laundering Russian illegal monies..
Yet he thought he could "do better" as the fucking President???
What the fuck is wrong with this imbecile....
I scratch my head thinking why anyone would want the FOCUS turned on their illegal activities.
Either he is the most arrogant, narcissistic, ego maniac ever, or the dumbest motherfucker in recorded history.
I know, maybe he's both........SMH

(6,851 posts)The big crash gave all the other mega-criminals the idea that they would not be prosecuted, even if they committed crimes under the noses of the FBI.
I think these prosecutions are hugely important for restoring a sense of lawfulness in the US.
FBI and Justice are sick to death of millionaire criminals.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is when he decided to run, and no doubt that revenge for that ignominious and masterful skewering by President Obama is why he is doing everything he can to destroy anything and everything that President Obama accomplished. He cares about nothing else other than avenging insults, real or perceived.

(6,831 posts)He dogged President Obama for years over the birth certificate thing, which even he knew was total BS. (Did he think he could just lie like that and no one would hold him accountable ?) It was something he glommed onto to rile up the racists. Then he lied that he had sent investigators to HI to uncover the real documents and said "You won't believe what we're finding." No investigators ever went to HI because there was nothing to find. More lies and BS.
So, he had it coming. I thought President Obama was restrained. He could have cleaned Spanky's clock and it still would have been deserved.
We've never seen anyone in the WH who lies like trmp has. And once he's out of office, we never will see this again, because NO in American will ever tolerate it again.

(17,984 posts)There is a steward onboard a cruise ship. He has a small circle of buddies who commit small crimes, robbing the odd rich passenger and splitting the booty. The captain is about to retire and, for some reason, the owners of the cruise company replace him with the steward. What the hell does the steward know about navigation or safety? Not one damned thing. But it doesn't matter because now he "owns" the cruise ship and can fleece the passengers to his heart's content. But you see, the passengers start to catch on pretty quickly because of the steward's rise in prominence and the fact that he is stealing everyone's money and not just a very select few. The passengers start to complain, but what can they do against a "captain"? Plus, the new "captain" has put all his old thief cronies in charge of all the higher positions aboard the ship. There is a mutiny (note this is quite close to Rump's use of "treason" ), and some passengers vow to expose the new "captain". The passengers catch some of those cronies and threaten to throw them in the brig. The jig is up. The steward realizes he should have remained a steward, but it is just too late.

Blue_true
(31,261 posts)He will try to end the Special Council investigation once it gets close to him and it is getting there. That is why it is SO important that we everywhere vote like our lives depend on it, and encourage family and friends to vote and ride their ass.
If Trump fails to stop Mueller and Mueller close in on him and trap him, my guess is that he tries to rile up his deplorable goons and have them cause violence, if that fails and the nuclear football is kept away from him, he likely does something fatal to himself. People like him can't face humiliation on the scale that he will face if he stays alive.

D_Master81
(1,822 posts)when he announced he wasnt really thinking he would win but he would get some good publicity out of it and if everything went right he would end up being able to curtail that into some kind of right wing news industry. But once he saw the crowds and polls it was intoxicating and he began to believe in himself through the adulation of these crowds. Like their belief in him made him believe and also he loved the idea of the power he could attain. But again, I dont think Trump really thought he would end up President when he announced.

(14,164 posts)The closer he got to winning, the more he thought 'screw it, I'm going for it. And if I do win, I'll have all the power to 'disappear' all my past criminal behavior, and appoint heads of the AG and intelligence services with those that will swear a loyalty oath to me." He obviously had no clue about how the separation of powers works, and other limits of his office. It started to dawn on him I think after Comey refused to swear a loyalty oath to him, and Sessions recused himself.
meadowlander
(4,388 posts)You can see on his face in the interviews in the weeks just after the election that he didn't think he was going to win. That's why he kept saying the election was rigged and people shouldn't accept the result.
I think the proposal from the Russians was:
"Run, throw some monkey wrenches, attack Hillary and Obama and erode their credibility so after she wins she won't be able to govern as effectively. In exchange, we won't tell everyone about the pee tape and all the money you've been laundering and we'll cut you in on the Rosneft deal and talk about Trump Moscow. And you'll get some good publicity for the network you want to launch".
Then he won and couldn't back out because the only thing keeping his ass out of jail was the powers of his office.
murielm99

I think Putin whispered in his ear that he will take care of all the details and show him how to be one of the richest men in the world by looting this country like he did Russia.
Trump fell for it and got caught up in his own celebrity. My hope is that he finds out that things arent done here like they are in Russia.
Once trump was elected...no matter how it turns out,
Putin won.
I think one thing that continues to bother me is that the rnc and the dnc were both hacked. Putin has the dirt on all these slimy republicans and that is why they are following trump off the cliff.

(42,770 posts)too. We were JUST talking about something similar. Why he didn't take his business background and just go along with the traditions and expected dignified behaviors of the office?
And read and learn and treat citizens and other countries with love and respect? Wow, it doesn't sound that effin hard? Who wouldn't rise to that occasion?
But the kicker I suppose is that he wouldn't have even been where he is unless he cheated.

(146 posts)in recorded history. He got by with so much for so many years, its probably inconceivable to him that someday someone else will win at his games and take him down too.

George Eliot
(701 posts)Which is why by now we should all get it. He's stiffed people his whole life without conscience. All the love and attention to his kids during the campaign were gross lies. And he is smart. He has a gift for framing everything to suit circumstances. That gift for framing seems to be a Republican trait given Atwater and Luntz. Just like Reagan became President to reduce his own taxes, and Bush to prove he wasn't a lazy fool which didn't work, and Trump to prove he is superior to all and to make himself and friends richer.
No mystery. The Republicans got what they want. Tax breaks for the rich and lowered-to-no regulations for corporations. Hartmann once said that to get to the top in business you probably have to be sociopathic. Well, I kind of liked Tillerson but he and previous ceo's did control Exxon when they knew about climate change and misled the public.
He's into Russians for big money since American banks won't loan to him anymore. And he sees Russia as the land of development opportunity. He will worship at the feet of Putin if that is what it takes.
He isn't sick. He has no conscience. Simply put there's no there there. And he is doing exactly what he intended to do and sees no reason he shouldn't. We will only be done with him once we have some leverage back in Congress. We need to talk about him as if he's the criminal narcissistic sociopathic criminal that he is who thinks the Rule of Law (which has been on the decline going back to Exxon Valdez days at least) means nothing. He and his corporate buddies have been getting away with it for years. What's new? Just that most people didn't realize the propensity for lying that these people have. End of story.

(53,741 posts)Of course it's just the opposite. He's a classic case of what Ann Richards said of W Bush: "He was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple."
In trump's case, he was borne on home plate and thinks he hit a home run.
His old man started him off with a million bucks and then had to bail him out a couple times as he blew it. He did learn how to sue the little people and file for bankruptcy.
It's been calculated that with the money trump was given, if he had done nothing with itno casinos, no university, no steaks, no wine, no airline and all the rest of his failed business, his fortune would've been worth twice as much just earning interest.

(14,488 posts)However, knowing his relentless greed and narcissism, I strongly suspect his initial reason for running in the primaries was that he saw it as an opportunity to give the Trump name (what he saw as his main asset) wide exposure and credibility.
In other words, free advertising and TV exposure all over the world - paid for by others.
