28. Revenge. Plain & Simple...
Sat Apr 15, 2017, 07:40 PM
Apr 2017

Trump lives for revenge....
yes, wealth is important to him...
but the presidency has empowered him with the ultimate power to get revenge...
from any & all who have ever crossed him, outsmarted him, mocked him, made money off of him, cost him money, etc.

Some he simply humiliates ... (romney christie etc)

Others he gives more attention to...
in the form of long term revenge ....
He likes to make his former adversaries/rivals into subordinates ...
much like those who he sees as smarter/ more powerful (Generals & such)

He enjoys stringing people along & pulling the rug out.., repeatedly if they are willing to hang around...


He sees the peons who voted for him as dupes who deserve to be disappointed since they were dumb enough not to realize he was full of shit...
Buyer Beware!

He delights in maximizing his "take" from The government / tax revenues ... his companies get paid plus he & his family get to live like royalty ... vacations every weekend... Security around the clock... all free for the taking....


And all of those cabinet members...
Who are far wealthier than he....
Who have grand conflicts of interest...
histories of questionable associations ...
And have used their ill gotten gains to support 45's election and effectively purchase a position of authority for themselves...
He has saved the best revenge just for them....

Whether 45 has negotiated a deal for himself remains to be seen...
but it matters not to his overall revenge plans...

You see, Guiliani convinced all the guilty parties that the Presidential Power to Pardon would be used to keep them all free from prosecution ...

What greater revenge than to
Choose not to grant pardons
To those whose crimes were committed
in order to give you the very power
That you now refuse to use... ???


Ok still too tin hat for the masses...
but it would effectively drain the swamp...,,
