Subject: Re: A Complete Strategic Defeat
again, show me verifiable money pocketed directly by trump from fossil bribes and stocks.
it needs to be somewhere in the ballpark of his other scams...
e.g., trump org biz deals during private trade\tariff talks.


Not everything is a grift, and the absence of a visible grift isn't proof that it's not Trump's plan. Apart of the grift, Trump wants to cultivate himself as a historic figure like Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler, and most importantly Putin. He admires and envies Putin. He wants Putin's ability to jail or kill his opponents, to control the outcome of elections, and he sees Putin's petrostate oligarchic economy as a model for the American economy.
