I believe he has a bunch of loans that are coming due in less than a year. He is frantic to shill for as much cash as his benighted-yet-deplorable followers are willing to throw at him, since that is his only significant source of income these days. He has consistently used his "campaign" funds as a personal piggy bank, a situation that continues unabated because he refuses to file appropriate financial statements regarding campaign contributions (and gets away with it). Most of his real estate holdings are either in bankruptcy or near it, which is why he is selling them off (like the one in DC where he extorted money from anyone who wanted to tug the forelock to him) to private investment firms who don't have to disclose the under-the-table deals, only the sales price. Like all gangsters, the illegal activities in which he has engaged are not going to get him in the long run: his financial mismanagement will. That was already in the works before he ran for POTUS--and perhaps was a reason why he ran? Because he figured he would have absolute immunity thereafter? He might finally get the financial reckoning he has deserved for 40 years, but don't expect to see him in an orange jumpsuit any time soon.
Good comment. Everything he has tried since he ran through the $400+ million Daddy dumped in his diaper he did with OPM (other people's money). Even the donations from his gullible supporters may not be enough if all those loans get called in all at once. Wouldn't the evidence of fraud that Mazars just provided be all the banks need to do it?
I think the presidency was the ultimate gambit for Trump. He is “ protected” from prosecution and can use the office and campaign to fill his pockets with funds, broaden his brand, and employ his children.
Because he feeds their amygdalae. He stokes it with fear and hatred of anyone who is not "like" them, and gives them a feeling of being in a club which feeds their base tribal beliefs that only people like them are deserving.

And running for president allowed him to gather money from Russian oligarchs, as well as laundering their linen.
Yes! And still does. Campaigning protects him and is more lucrative in his case than outright stealing.

Protected during the presidency, but no longer. He shall be Al Caponed.

“God” told them to?
I agree.
