40. I've long had the feeling that tRump's so-called wealth was a lot of smoke and mirrors.

He appears to live on what we used to call the float. Like spending your cash in the bank while the checks were still out and hoping none of them came back to clear the bank before you could make a quick infusion of cash from a paycheck. It is much harder to do these days with electronics being the way they are and ATMs keeping track of all those quick withdrawals.

tRump burned all his financial bridges long ago so had to scramble around the world for more pockets to pick. That’s how he got suckered by the Russians. By his reckoning, he thinks he suckered THEM. But boy is he in for a surprise. This is not going to end well for the old boy.

David Cay Johnson knows the truth about tRump. (Hmmm, that’d make a good book title.) And he has been trying to tell us all along that his wealth is a lie built on more lies and deception. Tony Schultz could probably add some to the story, too. Michael Avenatti more than likely will have more dirt to scoop on tRump’s phony billions.

None of this will end well for tRump. And to think, he could have probably gone on lying and deceiving everyone until the day he dies if he had just not tried for one last big scam by running for President. Pretty funny that what he considers his biggest WIN will turn out to be the thing that brings it all down around him. Maybe he and Bernie Maddoff can be cell mates.
