The Don has never played by the rules. As a narcissist, his grandiosity enables him to believe that he is special and vaults him into a different universe. In The Don’s world, rules and norms don’t exist; they only exist for other people. For him, playing by the rules is a sign that you are feckless, lack imagination and a sucker.
We have to go no further than his golf game to see this.
Sports writer Rick Reilly called out The Don after he declared himself the winner of both the club championship and senior club championship at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida.
According to Reilly, The Don has played in many tournaments where there are “rules, judges and cameras and never finished in the top half. So he wins when anybody who disagrees that he won is out of the club. That’s how he gets it.”
Reilly, who wrote an entire book on how Trump cheats at golf, said the former president even confessed one of his methods: “When he buys a golf course, he plays the first round alone and declares himself the course champion.”
In addition according to Reilly, The Don “always gets a turbo-charged golf cart that goes three times as fast as yours, so he’s always 200 yards ahead, and that gives him time to cheat.”
He also has claimed he has won golf tournaments he hasn’t even played at. He claims he is better than the person who won or has had a better score at some point (which he got through cheating!) I know I could beat the guy so that means I won the championship?
Extrapolating from his golf game, it is clear that it’s okay not to pay taxes. During a debate with Hillary Clinton, when confronted about paying taxes his response was “that makes me smart.” It’s okay to defraud banks by overvaluing his assets to get better deals on loans (fortunately, The Don has lost a civil suit regarding this fraud and has to pay a fine of over $450 million dollars!). It’s okay to underpay or not pay workers who have labored to build his buildings; it’s okay to scam people to sign up for a university that has no merit; it’s okay to create a charity that barely gives money to any organization and funds himself (his charity was forced to shut down because of its malfeasance.) Despite recent rulings against him, exposing the fraud that he is, his insatiable appetite for grifting rolls on- it’s like a tic that has no cure.
Running for president is about enriching himself, just as when he peddled NFTs, steaks, ties, suits, bath towels, vodka, water, office chairs, Trump University, and mug-shot mugs. He even sold pieces of the suit he was wearing when he took the mug shot.
The fealty people in his party display are cult-like. It has allowed him to take over the R.N.C. and grift by funneling money from the R.N.C to pay his legal bills. It has been reported that interviews for a job at the R.N.C. included questions about whether the 2020 election was stolen.
Let’s create a few questions for the interview.
Applicant: Thank you so much for giving me this amazing opportunity to help Donald Trump win reelection.
Interviewer: Just want to set the record straight. This is not a job, it’s a calling.
Applicant: Absolutely. Going to MAGA rallies is so much more meaningful and of course, fun, then going to church.
Interviewer: We at the R.N.C. all feel the same way. So do you believe Donald Trump is guilty of any crimes?
Applicant: No fucking way. The man is being scapegoated. He is a victim of a corrupt, anti-democratic deep state.
Interviewer: Are you concerned that he lost a civil court case where he was found guilty of sexual assault?
Applicant: No way. He’s just a guy being a guy.
Interviewer: Do you believe Joe Biden won the 2020 election?
Applicant: That’s absurd. There was no way that old marbly mouth turd could have beaten Trump.
Interviewer: What do you think of Mike Pence?
Applicant: Total traitor. Should have hung the guy!
Interviewer: If we asked you to take out a home equity loan on your home, would you donate it to Trump’s legal fees?
Applicant: Are you serious?
Interviewer: Do I look like I’m yanking your chain? If we asked you to take Donald Trump as your savior, would you be okay dumping Jesus? And would you be willing to go door to door to sell Trump’s new bible?
Applicant: Are you serious?
Interviewer: Do I look like I’m yanking your chain?
Trump bibles? Yes, indeed. We moved from recent endeavors like his $399 golden “Never Surrender High-Top Sneaker,” to his newest venture, a $60 “God Bless The USA” Bible complete with copies of the nation’s founding documents. (Like the Bible, documents that he has never read.)
The Don has really taken to seeing himself as a savior. In January, he put up a video on Truth Social about how he is a messenger from God, “a shepherd to mankind.” “I consider it a great badge of courage,” he tells crowds. “I am being indicted for you.”
He is now ending rallies with a somber prayer: “We will pray to God for our strength and for our liberty. We will pray for God and we will pray with God. We are one movement, one people, one family and one glorious nation under God.”
On Saturday, Mr. Trump shared an article on social media with the headline “The Crucifixion of Donald Trump.” (Rumor has it that he is ready to sell companion dolls, one with Jesus and one with him on a cross with the two figures holding hands.)
He announced his new grift: “Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again,” Trump wrote. “As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless The USA Bible.” I want you to get a copy and we will have a national prayer meeting to pray that I win so I can save America. Translation: You suckers, I need you to pay for my legal fees.
One more thing. Hey Don, I’ve got a great idea to increase sales. I’ll trust if I let you in on the secret, I’ll get 5 % of the profits. You can call up Bibi Netanyahu, who is so desperate for you to be president, and tell him that each member of the ultra orthodox community must buy copies of an Old Testament version for their entire family or else you will withdraw your support for Israel. Now that’s one hell of a grift. Makes pretending to win golf tournaments you don’t even play in seem like innocent child play.
