61. He cares about one thing a lot -

himself and only himself. He is really looking forward to removing the Russian sanctions so he can sell overpriced mansions to Russian oligarchs like he did before. He's looking forward to reducing his personal taxes to nothing and he wants to see that wall. Can he make Mexico pay for it, no, that's one of his millions of lies. Not sure if he's looking forward to deporting Mexicans and starting a Muslim registry. I know he has no plan for the terrorists, other than keep doing what you are doing, and no plan for healthcare and will break all of his campaign promises not to touch Medicare or Social Security.

I'm just waiting for all the lawsuits to roll in, CREW is in the process of filing over the hotel in DC, the most obvious conflict due to the legal language permitting any payments to anyone in government or anyone who is related to anyone in government. That seems rather cut and dried but of course everything depends on the judge involved.
