Heather's explanation and makes sense -- I'm willing to bet [without any evidence at all but just logic] that Trump has figured out how to monetize the grift -- maybe stock in Digital assets? and then sell it? I don't know but wouldn't put anything past him - though I thought he was flush with all the people shoving $$ into his claws

Perhaps he is flush, but when, for him, has enough ever been enough?

Agree.

MAKING money becomes the goal; not the money itself or what one could DO with it.

When people buying Powerball tickets are interviewed and asked what they would do with the money if they won, they see the money as a TOOL. A way to get a nicer house, a nicer car. Put their kids and grandkids through college. Start the business they've always dreamed of owning. Donate to charities to make their communities better.

Never do they say they're going to buy MORE lottery tickets to get even richer.

It has tragic consequences when enough is never enough.
