That might be true, but I am sincerely, genuinely, worried about where the money will come from instead.

This isnā€™t some principled elder statesman weā€™re talking about here. Heā€™s not going to pass the hat around, see that itā€™s not enough money, and pass it back saying ā€œwell, we tried.ā€ No, winning is the only move heā€™s left himself in this obscene farce of a career heā€™s built, and thereā€™s no low he wonā€™t stoop to in order to get there. Heā€™d sooner put the entire campaign, and by extension The White House, up for sale than lose.

Did you miss the foreign governments paying for rooms in Trump properties at far above the normal rates for their areas, and then not even having anyone actually stay in the rooms? How about the special access to Trump depending on how much you pay at Mar a Lago? Or the lenders that write loans for him and then donā€™t go after him when he doesnā€™t repay them?

Trump has been up for sale since his first presidential campaign, so this wonā€™t suddenly make him vulnerable to corruption, as heā€™s already one of the most corrupt individuals in politics.

Oh no, Iā€™m fully aware of all that. But thereā€™s no reason why he couldnā€™t double-down or seek additional buyers.
