countries came to him with deals of one kind or another? How many promises did they make to DJT while feeding his ego and bank account? In exchange for...whatever they could convince him of.

After promises of riches and glory, he's probably helpless to resist the lies and arguments that much accompany requests for secrets, favorable executive orders, attention, quid pro quo, etc. He can convince himself he's doing good things for the world by enriching himself. After all, he's Donald and he deserves everything he can get.

He's an easy mark and I doubt Putin was the only one to recognize that.
