This is a great six-minute piece by Chris Hayes on MS NOW about Trump's 10 BILLION dollar grift -- suing himself and negotiating with himself on a settlement.

This is a great six-minute piece by Chris Hayes on MS NOW about Trump's 10 BILLION dollar grift -- suing himself and negotiating with himself on a settlement. Just what you'd expect from someone already found guilty of business fraud.
As Hayes notes, this grift overwhelms all of Trump's other grifts.
My feeling is that has repugnant as this whole deal is, if there's even "just" a settlement, the public -- who already hates Trump so much that his approval is a pathetic 34% -- will be so gallingly outraged, that any financial gain that Trump gets will backfire politically on him and his MAGOP party. After all, even if there's a "settlement" for merely 1%, that would give Trump (giving to himself) $100 million of taxpayer money. At a time when the public is struggling in Trump's economy and is giving him his lowest approval he's ever had on his handling of the economy. An area which has always been his strong suit.
