what's trump got up his sleeve

So trump is a person that never has done anything in his life that wasn't for money....every minute of his life is going from one con to the next...So what's the real motive for him to be president it has to be money because that's all this guy thinks...

I heard him say his wealth is nothing compared to what the presidency is worth...What do you take that statement to mean...I believe it's his knowledge of how much money he and his family can make being president...Secretly he could hold countries hostage warning he could cause problems for them unless they do what he wants...All would be secret..There's something we don't know and maybe never be able to find out....

He told a reporter “It's very possible that I could be the first presidential candidate to run and make money on it.” Now it's on to how much money he can make as prez.

he has siphoned off hundreds of billions using his position in government.

It's hard to gain that kind of wealth merely by stiffing your painting contractors and caterers.

...he'd end up sawing his own leg off instead of his assistant's.

He's a jumpy, panicky fool who knows he is nearing the time when he can no longer pretend to be a success.
