    How the fuck do you even consider working for Donald Trump at this point?

    He almost never pays his employees. Virtually every member of his inner circle, and many of their associates have ended up facing some form of federal charges or are under some kind of investigation. Multiple attorneys have ended up sanctioned and in a couple of cases I believe disbarred. Extremely well-off people like Rudy Giuliani have ended up penniless and facing a mountain of legal debt. Many have ended up in jail. Others have reported having their careers completely ruined because reputable employers won’t go near them. Nobody has worked with Trump and walked away better for it. They’ve almost all had their lives irreparably ruined.

    How the fuck do you possibly look at what happens to anyone associated with Trump and say “Yeah, I think I wanna hitch my wagon to that.”

      He is charming to a very particular demographic. He is also, without a doubt, the most successful conman in history.

      The first skill a conman learns is building confidence in his target that his way is the right way – perhaps the only way – to get something done.
