47. Knowing how Trump does business, imagine this...

He's no different than any vulture capitalist, except for that he's not nearly as smart or clever. He's just evil. Hes sees a failing golf course, funded by government bonds, in dire straights, looking for a savior.

He swoops in, does his song n' dance charm offensive, negotiates a contract that only benefits HIM -- he gets paid lots, no matter what happens.

He promises he'll turn things around, knowing full well he could give a shit about the golf course, because all he has to do is collect his paycheck then file bankruptcy, like he's done over and over again. That's what Trump does.

Were the official in Puerto Rico purely stupid, or were they in a state of desperation and willing prey for a con man?

Either way, Trump sucks balls, and he contributed to Puerto Rico's problems.
