3. Seriously. For the money he could have hired top experts

stayed out of it himself, and gotten credit for a job well done. But he has to get grift on everything. It seems to be a compulsion. Has anyone told him he can't spend it all, and he can't take it with him?

Also, it's all he's really interested in. Remodelling the White House and the Capitol. Maybe dropping some bombs here and there. He never was really interested in running a country.

He doesn't believe in expertise because he has never had any, and he thinks all you have to do is sell the facade. I'm guessing he thinks that's what everyone else is doing too. Like finding out last week that there's a b in dumb.
