    And I once thought “who could be so unintelligent as to bankrupt a casino”, and it’s the same person who agreed to embarrass his nation by signing a reparations treaty in Versailles France. It’s as if his secretary of education doesn’t have a thorough understanding of history, and the balls to speak up? At least it wasn’t in a train car I guess.

      I expect he’s happy about it because he’s getting a cut.

      Just straight up fleecing the American taxpayer so he can get a small percentage.

      Even if you explained it to him, with crayons and circles and diagrams and arrows and cartoon characters, he wouldn’t get it and even if he did, he wouldn’t care.

      The casino thing I’ve had explained to me (not by someone who was making excuses for Trump).

      I can’t remember the detail hut basically it was some massive scam by Trump.

      Probably to get out of taxes or dodge a debt or something. Or just to defraud someone.

      But it does seem like it was done deliberately. The guy is a fraudster at heart.
