Oh Myyy

2. But if the goal is to funnel money into his own pockets, he is doing rather well.

3. Yeah it's the one thing he knows how to do

Maybe his defense will be that he never took a salary from the WH (though I realize this is campaign stuff he’s stealing).

He’s doing that for SOME reason. I just haven’t figured out the angle, besides pretending he’s rich. Must be something more to it.

4. He's

He's trying to payback Putin. Or make the blackmail payments.

5. Well, besides being the only thing he knows how to do

He has become conditioned. It not only is what he knows how to do, it is the only thing he KNOWS how to do. He knows nothing else, does not care to know anything else and likely is no longer capable of learning anything else. In Avengers: Endgame Gamora says to Nebula “you don’t have to do this.” Nebula replies “I AM this.” That is Trump. He grifts because he is a grifter.
