Trump Is Actually A Criminal Mastermind Genius - Think About It

He got rich by using his inheritance to lie cheat and steal everything in sight. He was able to rape dozens of women, and rob thousands without ever being arrested.

He is a criminal genius.

Credit where credit is due.

Now I think he is on the payroll of Russian, and China. His mission? Destroy America. It is working......

Genius I tell you.

The stupid stuff he says and does is just pure distraction.

Trump wins, we lose.

As always.

I've said here a number of times - we can't have it both ways.

We hear that Trump has dementia and that he is stupid - or he's a genius - just look what he's pulled on us over the last 4 years and most of his life. He can't be both.

He's gotten away with everything - including impeachment. He's got the whole of the Repug Party afraid of him and marching to his orders.

Somehow he eludes all repercussions of his actions.

I always imagined what would this country look like if the mob somehow infiltrated the government and ran things their way. I thought that this scenario would make good fodder for a book or movie.

Now I believe we're living that scenario.

Don is the 'Don'. Making an offer you can't refuse - lest you wind up with a horse head in your bed.

I envision a lot of dead horses over the last 4 years.

I'll bet that, if they were alive, some of America's great mobsters, crime bosses, etc., would be both envious and admiring of Trump's criminal achievements. They would be worthy of a monument to lawless corruption and behavior.

"Wow, did ya' seem him pull that off?"

all his life; that is, he's always been in a bubble created by his father and his father's money, and he's never had to answer for anything he's done because of that bubble. He's not smart or clever or strategic; he's just a sociopath who has always been protected by money and status and the hangers-on who attach themselves to people with money and status. He has never actually been good at anything. How does anybody lose money running casinos?

He's failed over and over and over again but was juuuuust wealthy enough to afford lawyers to bail him out time and again - in business as well as sexual assault cases or anything else that he put his toxic fingers on.

The Russia/China/payroll/destroy America thing is pure CT territory.

He is far less than what you're making him out to be.

Seriously, if he was a genius, would he have declared bankruptcy so many times? If one's intention is to create the image of an infallible business tycoon, this is not something one would do, not even to distract the rubes and hicks who slavishly worship him.

He's not Chance the Gardener.

He's not Forrest Gump.

And he's not The Shadow, clouding people's minds and making them think he's a genius. He does colossally stupid stuff, and they just think he's a genius.

It is sheer luck Trump did not meet a bad ending during his life. I believe Trump was protected by people during his entire life because they knew they could use his dumb ass to enrich themselves.

Trump has been a tool of corrupt people. Trump is a freak accident.

such shameless, open corruption at the highest levels of government, all authority compromised beyond recognition
enabling kleptocracy and cruelty wherever he goes
it would be impressive if it wasn't so terrifyingly dangerous
should we be so fortunate as to return to sound government we'll have to find ways to protect our democracy from such criminals

just as badly as he needed their laundered money. Otherwise, he'd be living beneath a freeway overpass.

The rest is history.

Also, running as an angry populist if what you do if you if you're the opposite of a mastermind. Look at history's tyrants.

Thousands upon thousands of men have raped and never been held accountable, and citing this as evidence of his genius is sick.

and criminal endeavors, that they might be successful legally. IMO, Trump is not one of them. I couldn't equate him with the word "genius" in any context. I keep going back to a statement made by a Wharton professor who said Trump was the dumbest GD student he ever encountered. Trump has spent his entire life cheating, lying, bullying, suing and destroying. These heinous tools have worked for him along with the do nothing, say nothing, spineless sycophants that enable him. He is the epitome of all that is evil.

including running casinos which are guaranteed to win money for the house (trump). He loss the hundreds of millions of his old man's money, some of which he cheated his brother's kids out of. He's not rich as he owes who knows how much to Russian oligarchs who financed his resorts and buildings. His net worth is in negative territory because of what he owes.

He is a criminal and a rapist and sexual predator. I'll give him that.
