“What makes Trump uniquely dangerous is his disregard for the rule of law. But while it’s certainly possible that Trump will leverage that disregard to advance conservative policy aims, what he has actually consistently done throughout his career is seek personal financial benefit, specifically at the expense of his fans and admirers.”

“He didn’t structure deals that made the company profitable and valuable, he structured deals so as to allow Donald J. Trump to tunnel money out of the pockets of DJT shareholders and into his personal accounts. That’s how he managed to go from “formerly rich guy who bankrupted himself running unsuccessful Atlantic City casinos” to “formerly bankrupt guy who is now rich again even though his casinos are still unsuccessful.” It was a tour de force of barely-legal financial scams, and a reminder that it’s a lot easier to fuck over your friends with unethical behavior than to fuck over your enemies.”
