He doesn’t need money, he’s a little prep school heir from step mommy with a father that also spent his life grifting for the republicans. What he needs is validation. He needs to feel like people aren’t laughing at him. But they always are, and they always will. Same with trump - That’s why they are now hoping to kill enough of the other side so that the only people left in the room are the ones who are not paying attention except to clap when they hear “freedom” or “woke”.
Seriously though, the truth is that trump is 80 and he will statistically die relatively soon. The same fear applies, “they aren’t going to laugh at me”. Give him a chance and trump will literally throw the match in the gasoline soaked world behind him on the way out, just for the comfort that he won’t be made fun of in death or properly exposed in full context by history.
No but as I said in another comment he’s a money hungry cunt. We all are to an extent but there comes a point of wealth for a small subset of humans beyond which adding zeros to your bank balance is what’s fuelling you. They can’t stop themselves.
He is one of that small subset IMO.

I can’t recommend Mike Duncan’s “The History of Rome” podcast enough. The cult of personality is what led to the fall of the republic and the similarities to our current predicament are more than a bit disconcerting.
MAGA and the idea of challenging elections by force will never go away.
Inherited money often comes with strings attached, too, limiting what the heir can or can’t do with it. And of course they often develop habits that need money before they’ve actually inherited any, so it’s not surprising when they beat their own path to wealth anyway - usually helped along by their birth connections and by the fact that people know they’ll eventually inherit significant wealth.
Also, we seem to always make this assumption that there’s some amount of money that satisfies the craving for money, when there are plenty of signs that the super-wealthy almost always want more money regardless of how much they already have.
Wild to think that somebody born incredibly wealthy needs to do a lot of bullshit like this in order to make more money. He’s a true piece of shit.
Line must always go up. And of course he wouldn’t use his own money to keep being on a show
