Except I know he wants to monetize everything to his benefit since money and power are all that he lusts for, those are his goals.

Regardless, Trump has failed at everything he has endeavored. As Rick Wilson famously stated, Everything Trump Touches Dies.

Thanks to the millions of stupid Americans who voted for him, the United States is dying.

Well done, MAGA, you fucking assholes.

So even if he had a good heart, it would still result in bad luck for anyone or anything around him. He is just Jinxed.

In his view all of the U.S. was responsible for his defeat by someone that he claimed was going to be easy to beat.

Every time he speaks in public he talks about that and what an old, doddering loser Biden was/is. But that old loser wiped floor with him. Don’t forget that—when he lost in 2020–there was dancing in the streets

Even now when the public encounters Joe Biden they shower him with love and admiration. Even though you’ve got trash mongers like Jake Tapper slinging shit.

Trump knows he is hated. His parents didn’t love him. New York Society rejected him. Then the country rejected him after getting to know him better. For a malignant narcissist that has to be pretty much intolerable

So, he’s taking it out on the American people and the American system of government. The big problem is I don’t think any of us know what the hell to do about it.

Destruction is fast. Building is slow. When this is all over and it will be— it’s going to be damn hard to put this all back together again.

Many Buddhists find ignorance at the core. Malice arises our of ignorance.

However, this asshole is REALLY SPECIAL.

His motive, IMO, is blackmail (he's being blackmailed) and therefore does what Putin wants.

Lots more at the link below. He is setting the stage for a full-on coup, in which Putin takes effective, if not elective, command.
So, he yanks Trump's chain now and then as a reminder.
Cats play with mice before they kill them.

P.S. It will fail if we all expose it for what it is.
