      At this point I'm roughly at: 1) Some of the payments to e.g. ivanka were shady and may require more tax paying on them 2) Criminal liability requires proving the defendant understood what they were doing so lol 3) The hundreds of millions of personal debt bothers me much more

      Trump has no issue with bankruptcy. He structures his business explicitly so that bankrupting X will not impact A-W but will facilitate bankrupting Y & Z for fun and profit later. Makes debt an asset for him.

      I may have misundertood but it looks like a bunch of those loans were made post-apprentice on the basis of his personal brand's future earning capacity and that as such he's personally liable for those ones ("personally liable" is the phrasing everywhere, at least), which, well.

      So, arguably, he's sacrificed a lot by serving as president. Also arguably, he's better served by the increase in value to his personal brand upon leaving office than he would be by the risk of bribes in office. Regular ex-presidents make a fortune without Trump's marketing.

      The former seems orthogonal given the businesses those loans are propping up all appear to've been losing money pre-presidency. The brand thing is quite possibly true, but, uh, depends on somebody involved thinking sufficiently strategically, and, uh ... uh ... yeah, about that.

      Okay, so let's assume a great deal of personal debt. What is the plausibility of an aging reality TV star and real estate dude, heavily leveraged in busines and in deep personal debt, calculating that its in his best financial interest to ... run for president. 1/

      2/ I do not buy this. It's like the Russia thing. Plausibility of Russia deciding to screw with the US election? High. Plausibility that they back Trump? Medium-high. Plausibility that they expect him to win? lol-low So the fucking-with part can't be that they expected to

      3/ win. It has to be to fuck-with the Republicans, which ultimately means helping Hillary. So I actually find it more plausible that Trump genuinely wants to be president to help the country (and for personal gratification). I also find it plausible that he'd be willing to

      I think "he likes being the centre of attention" is honestly a sufficient motivation even if not the only one. I also think Russia just wanted maximum chaos and probably didn't expect to get this specific sort of chaos but are hardly going to look the gift horse in the mouth.

      Yep, willing to entertain that too. Also willing to entertain that even an inveterate timeshare-level huckster looked at DC and said "JFC that's a swamp".
