Stop overthinking it. It’s about money. He’s broke.
Maybe Trump is doing a bankruptcy, maybe not. But the guy is clearly out of money, and for some reason it’s reached a crisis point.
Same way Rudy just admitted he’s out of money. When you have no legitimate income, and you live off illegitimate payoffs, you keep needing more. You never have enough.
If your broke friend buys a bunch of fancy stuff on credit cards that he can’t afford, it doesn’t suddenly make him wealthy. It makes him more broke.
