Rich People. When things are not going well financially
they tend to ignore the reality of their situation. They prolong facing the fact that their standard of living cannot be maintained. They will drive themselves into debt with or without a rational expectation of recovering. Keeping up appearances is vital to his wife and children. Eventually, when they can no longer borrow money they will do whatever is necessary to put off the day of reckoning. They stop paying their bills, their employee payroll taxes, and take out what money that does come in. Why? It's simply the inability to face failure. When desperate enough they'll burn the building down, steal from their partners and customers, Borrow from the Mob, even kill their spouses for the insurance. Sometimes even bail by taking off or taking their own life.
I think Donald Trump got in and remained in the POTUS race because the Russian Mobsters could effectively put him out of business. He is simply doing whatever he has to do to keep game going in supporting the Russian Crime Regime and their Don of Don's, Putin.
He is trying to save his family's business. So, the next time you hear or see his political professional wrestling match drama, know he is simply doing what he has to do to survive.
This saga will not end well. As we all know, Mobsters ARE going to get their money. No wonder the bookies offer odds that he won't serve out his term.

I've had the opinion for some time that Trumpy is running one step ahead of financial ruin. That's why he's stiffing the taxpayers on every possible move he makes. He's all about pay to play, and they DO pay. As for the Russians, it's highly unlikely that he'll ever pay them enough money to keep them away from his doorstep. To the Russians, Trumpy is an easy mark. He's proving it every day. They got a lot of damaging information against Trumpy, and they'll leverage it all the way to its final conclusion: Trumpy WILL crumble.

(100,999 posts)wolves aren't as mean as there are thought to be. I'd allow them to surround me, but one bear and I'm on the bear spray and outta there. I think it's bears.
