He's also wanting Venezuela to declare war first.

And a president who wants to shoot those protestors, and a federal police, answerable to no one, who can definitely do it. I'm giving it a year before we see at least one protest met with overwhelming lethal force.
He's a narcissist. Letting go of ANY shred of power is unimaginable, because he deserves EVERYTHING. Any scrap of power he has relinquished has been at legal gunpoint.
Not to mention expanding the bunker at the WH. Dude knows he's absolutely going to try to stay President no matter what happens. Expect full Franco.
Blueprints aren't needed if the project is going to be a boondoggle to swindle more cash out of investors. Just keep adding stuff, just keep claiming you NEED to add more stuff, and eventually you wind up with The Big Dig.
He's also wanting to use the construction as a smokescreen to expand the ~~Fuhrerbunker~~ Presidential bunker.
...Because the metals are likely melted down for scrap value and the jewels are probably popped out and sold to gray-market connections. Unless you happen to run into a jeweler who REALLY KNOWS THEIR SHIT, there's really not a good way to trace a gem back to the piece it came from unless that jewel is incredibly identifiable, not worked further after its theft, and of a known provenance.
It's not "oh there's a shadowy dude who ordered them to be stolen away so they could be cashed in", it's because jewelry theft is a highly practiced art and anyone smart enough to put a heist together like this and simply vanish is also smart enough to make sure the evidence is gone within days. Puts real reasonable doubt into a jury or judge when your prosecutor has to say "well, we don't HAVE THE JEWELRY, and we can't GET IT BACK, but I swear this is the dude".
It's like having your car stolen and chopped.
Hate also just ages a person. Stress makes you age seriously fast.
Honestly, enjoyed Alphas. Gary's so much fun.
Weirdly enough, that "privately funded" ballroom they're building is almost $230m. You know, the one Trump said he'd build and pay for himself?
I really suggest you read up on the weaponization of psychology. It wasn't that long ago that being anticapitalist could land you in a mental facility. Being a suffragette or anything vaguely feminist got a LOT of women lobotomized. Being gay got a lot of people committed, and it was officially a mental disorder in MANY places up until shockingly recently (and still is in some places), same with being transgender or nonbinary or genderfluid.

Even into the later series, people had to fight to do interesting things with it. IIRC the network was skittish about Voyager because nobody would possibly be interested in a scifi show with a female lead.
