12. Trump really isn't an elite

and that's part of what is making him nuts. He desperately wants to be accepted and in fact be considered part of the upper crust. If you look at the faces of old money people (from all around the world) you can see the amusement and disdain in their faces.

I'm sure you're familiar with the saying "If you owe the bank $10k, the bank owns you. If you own the bank $1 million, you own the bank" Well dRump owes a lot of people a lot of money and they want their money back. A fair number of them are really nasty people. As long as they think keeping him in office keeps him as a money cow, he'll stay there.

The instant he loses his effectiveness and/or becomes too much of an embarrassment his time (and his kids) will be over. Look for all his lickspittles, toadies, and sycophants to go down with him.

He decided to play in the majors and that is a tough league to crack. They'll mess you up if you aren't of use to them just to send a message to anyone else who thinks they can jerk "the elite" around like dRump has tried to do. The man is a tool pure and simple.
