it amuses me that there are still relatively wealthy people out there willing to effectively loan Trump money to help him out of a jam. it would be one thing if he were any other politician, who might be able to pay it back at some point or convert it into political capital. but Trump's whole deal is about fucking over every partner or associate, never paying people what he owes, and tying shit up in court until the other parties get frustrated and walk away. total Mr. Scorched Earth
certainly, it makes sense for rich people to cover for trump as a class, but that's different than being the guy who cuts the check.
