Trust me, he is a fantastic con man and thief. He made out well after gutting those establishments and leaving everyone else with the loss. He is not poor either, this is basically how they all do it: "The Buy, Borrow, and Die" strategy. At the moment, he is pulling the biggest heist he has ever attempted with the help of his buddies in Congress and the American Oligarchy. They're going to try and separate everyone from everything they have. Ride this out and buy nothing but food, bills, and gas.

  You give him too much credit. He is a conman, but not a good one. He attracts conmen who are better at the game than he is and they have been milking him for decades. He had eventually to get into business with shady East-European businessmen who used him as a front. He was in descent to money laundering when he won the elections 2016.

    > He is a conman, but not a good one. How many other conmen have conned 77.3 million (at least, that's just in the US and I hear there are many outside the US who have fallen for his schtick)? There have been a few others in this class (Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc.) but there's no denying that he has confidence skillz...

      He's had help. For the audience here, the relevant helpers are on a spectrum from Barstool sportball techbros to Moldbug fans. The rich among them cultivated JD Vance. But he's got other help. None seem to care that some help comes from pretty dire adversaries. Fun's over. Now let's see who can admit a large error.

Definitely at any time of his life, his entire life's work up to that point was as a comical catalyst for financial losses. A majority of successful businessmen over the decades would never consider him a businesslike thinker at all, just the opposite of an advanced thinker was a much more widespread consensus before he became well-known as a media curiousity. People just can't legitimately expect anything different at this point, the bigger the stakes , the greater the losses. His consistency in this regard was legendary, and it took decades before there were millions more people who fell for his carefully crafted media image, in excess of the millions who had always ridiculed him. The only consolation is that those who have trusted him most end up losing the most.
