In reply to the discussion: The empty top secret folders found in Trumps desk. [View all]Genki Hikari
(1,766 posts)70. It takes a giant idiot
To lose money with a hotel you own near the White House--when you're the primary occupant of that White House. It was a cash cow waiting to be milked. A smart person would have made a fortune off that kind of opportunity, the kind that could be passed on to grandkids.
But we all know what he did there: All he saw was the $$$$ he was raking in day-to-day, and he had to get his grubby paws on as much of it as he could. He stuffed every bit of revenue into his bottomless pockets that he could, and never put any of it into supporting the business so that it could make him more money.
Always going to new lows to get what he wanted in the here and now, and zero thought about the future.
Textbook psychopath.

Everything he touches fails. He loses all the time. He is in a constant state of fixing his failures

I yawn at the attack on person, not dealing with facts or law of SC Smith role. . . . nt

Only the SC can indict, at this point. Garland can veto it, but can't indict. Must say if nixes. nt

As to your last sentence, thx for backhanded compliment, but persuasion rooted in mistakes fails.

Garland has veto only; required to say so if doing so. Indictment power has been transferred. . . nt

That is my understanding. I think Smith inherits ongoing grand jury and investigation, re step 1. nt
