    Yes, NPD Trump ignores advice because he's stubborn, & thinks he is smarter than everyone else.

    I have to wonder if there is anyone in his circle capable of stopping him from following through on seriously bad ideas.

    'He ultimately was a child': Pelosi, Schumer describe dealing with Trump in exclusive joint sit-down interview — CNN Politics

    Damn, I wish the Dems would be this brutally honest and real, on most news.

    It may have been a different story…

    Stop being polite and giving the benefit of the doubt,
    IF it’s not called for.

    Be real, calls them as you sees them.
    You don’t need to be fire & brimstone, full of bile
    Undiplomatic or unprofessional.

    But you CAN state a fact, be human, not mince words.

    T would have been likely not elected
    And even so, stopped so much more.

    "...she raised five children."

    I'm certain that did help Pelosi deal with NPD Trump. The problem is she didn't the Mother Power over him.

    Another problem: That video has made me really hungry, esp for some good Asian dishes :).

    And the IRS has stated they aren't going after NPD Trump, or his companies.
    "It's good to be the king."
    Even an ex-king.

    My wife is non-political. She didn't, & probably still doesn’t, believe me when I told her there is irrefutable proof that NPD Trump paid less in federal income tax than we did for at least two years in a row.

    If I could use the same things that he did to pay less taxes I would. This is all fair as put up by framework of rules.

    The very same things? How
    would you feel if you got
    audited because you're
    you, & he didn’t because
    he's NPD Trump, XPOTUS?

    Are you assuming he played
    by the rules? How does a man
    claiming to be worth "billions,
    & billions of dollars" legitimately
    pays $750.00 in federal taxes two
    years in a row?

    I'm assuming NPD Trump used
    the same creative accounting
    for his personal taxes as he
    did for his companies.

    I read articles stating NPD Trump is headed for financial ruin. As much as someone with several legal teams, numerous accountants with fluid ethics, & a long history of manipulating Chapter 11 can be financially ruined.

    Other articles say he has (yet again) juggled this, that, & the other to push back his day of reckoning. If NPD Trump has a nose for business, it's avoiding accountability.

    Some light reading.

    ^ Maybe it's not as bad as it looks, or could've been?

    When NPD Trump was POTUS, his liquid assets (some being relatively liquid) were often estimated at $180m to $220M.

    Some in-depth analysis of his tax returns estimate his liquid assets being $30M to $100M.

    Edit: ^ possible Subscrption Wall ^.

    Some things to consider:

    Some accuse The Daily Beast of going after NPD Trump at every opportunity. They do...and they back up what they report.

    The true value of real estate holdings are very difficult to determine. Judging from what I witnessed during the S&L Crisis (a great example of Raygun's Teflon coating) and The Oil bust in the mid 1980s, real estate can turn to shit very quickly. As the article mentions, NPD Trump's financing of his real estate holdings is complicated. When I read about it I see a pattern of juggling to push back the inevitable: Paying for it.

    I don't think even NPD Trump knows just how deeply leveraged he is. If his NPD is full blown (is that in doubt?) he probably thinks he's a genius businessman.
