Trump's Biggest Mistake [View all]

Trump should have never come down that escalator and run for the Presidency in the first place. He was doing fine running his New York fake real estate and game show scam. He was a comical side show at best. Now he has brought holy hell down on his own head.

I doubt that he would have been over run with civil and criminal cases had he never run for the Presidency. He has brought all of this down on his own head. He is in danger of losing all of his money, his New York businesses, and he may land in jail. None of this would have happened if he had just shut up and stayed in New York. He put a target on his own back when he ran for the Presidency.

He may be destroyed by his own sociopathic vanity. This is why he is desperate to be re-elected. It may be the only way that he stays out of jail and retains any of his so-called fortune. Donnie should never stuck his neck out and ran for the Presidency in the first place. If he loses all of his money and lands in jail, he will regret it all. Dummy.
