If Trump Is So Rich Why Is He Committing Felonies Self Dealing?

There is no way he thinks paying Mar a Lago bills/fines/settlements with his charity is legal. Why would he risk prison to support his business? There is only two possible answers.

1. He never thought he would get caught.

2. He is broke, and doing all he can to stay afloat, damn the torpedoes.

Seriously, why is he committing obvious crimes? What was he thinking?

Maybe someone should ask him......

Imagine Trump being penniless. Even if he doesn't go to prison (as it looks like he probably will) his name is toxic, and his hotels can't book anyone, and are sinking fast. God he sucks as business, and he is a crook to boot. I can think of three separate "things" he should be prosecuted over. Bondi-gate, Trump U Scam, and Self Dealing. There is more I'm sure. Imagine how bad he would suck as president folks!

Vote Trump! (sarcasm)

He was floating checks years ago, it caught up with him and he got into deep financial shit, of course he was broke at the time so it couldn't possibly be the same for someone like Trump, just on a grander scale, right??? My friend didn't get bailed out by Russians though, he had to pay up himself.

the entire enterprise is basically a corrupt organization, they make their money by breaking contracts, defrauding customers, abusing the court system, evading taxes, and get away with it by bribing officials.
