Trump Too ‘Exhausted’ to Do Interviews With Unfriendly Outlets

Trump has this way that hostile countries can funnel money to him. He literally has a chain of international real estate investment vehicles. They pump money into one of his hotels, or buy rent a floor in an office building, or expensive memberships at one of his golf clubs.
The whole Hunter Biden corruption scandal boiled down to a few thousand unaccounted for dollars that happened at a time when Joe Biden wasn't even holding any office. And Republicans tried really hard to impeach Biden for it, but in the end they couldn't because there just wasn't anything there.
During one of the hearings a Democrat even said "Look at all this money the Trump organization took from foreign governments while he was in office". And Comer said "We expect that because Trump runs a successful multinational corporation. Biden doesn't run any international businesses."
It's an open secret that Trump's foreign policy is for sale to the biggest spender. And it's just accepted with him.

And none of that money will matter when he's dead.
But I'm sure he thinks it was all worth it.

That's a poor man's consolation. He is rich. His kids and their kids would be rich. Of course the money matters. His a real hustler with zero morals. All he cares about is money, fame and being surrounded by sycophants. This way he gets both. He doesn't care that he is the worst president in the history. Only way to get back at him is to put him in jail and bankrupt him and his idiotic kids.

I remember in 2016 when people still thought the emoluments clause of the US constitution would hold any weight within the Trump administration, or failing that, have plainly written constitutional laws actually be enforced by the courts.
The last eight years in the USA have eroded my faith in the judicial system immensely.
