I'm more interested in how he's been able to commit so many crimes without being in prison by now.

People are highly inclined to believe him when he lies. I don’t know HOW he does it. My ex-wife told me that she just “tells people what they want to hear.” This strategy seems to work for her.

Less analytical humans take comfort in assigning meaning to that which has none.

He lies, he sues, he appeals, he manipulates or tries to manipulate the press.

NDA's, payoffs, shell corporations, lawyers and accountants who game the tax code.

Hide money, take out yuuuuge amounts of debt.

Our culture worships the wealthy like they're Gods on earth. "If we tax them, they won't create jobs." "If we don't let them write off everything on their taxes, they won't give us minimum wage shitty jobs."

He looks pretty lonely to me. Even when you go back and look at photos of him from the seventies, and up--- you never see him with friends. You never see him really enjoying anything, never reading a book, or taking a walk. Nothing.

When I look at him, I see a fairly bleak life. And an even bleaker, short (due to his age) future.

But Trump insisted on trying to be a gangster and his crooked shit is catching up to him.

That would be about right, and that’s how karma works—it dictates your position in the next life. It does not affect you in your present life (except to the extent that your past lives put you in the place you are now).
