He is intentionally bankrupting this country. His family has been investing in crypto and Chinese and Russian currency and are betting on these values skyrocketing when they upend the dollar. Never attribute to dementia what is better explained by malice.

Trumps whole thing is

  1. Have something with value, say $1000
  2. Sell thing for, say, $600
  3. Claim $600 profit.

Give or take. It's how he bankrupted a casino. I genuinely cannot tell if he knows he does this or not.
