re: Trump is absolutely killing it right now

Really, your position is akin to someone saying, "Well, he's already a billionaire, why would he want more?" They just do.

Well not exactly, because wanting to add to the wealth he already has probably isn’t going to get him indicted in numerous criminal cases and relentless threats to the peace and relative security that he and family enjoyed prior to the jaunt into politics. Thus the cost/benefit analysis comes down to whether there’s a net increase “attention” over and above that which he already enjoyed before that outweighs the costs described above. It just doesn’t make sense on its face, and I do believe Trump is more than capable of the same thought process.

What does it all mean? IMO that there’s some other benefit that he sees being worthy of the cost described above, and not a selfish one as some tend to believe.
