a ridiculous idiot. The mythology re: his “genius” is also ridiculous, he is an opportunist who has made a name for himself via other people’s ideas and hard work. It’s time for him to seek professional help, he sounds like someone on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Even if he's not...
He's making money from tunnel building under Los Angeles -- and the public can benefit from underground electrical systems, true -- but there's also always more behind his projects than meets the eye. It has to do with his ambitions toward big scale of control in power arenas -- military, intel, elections, government.

Along with Rupert Murdoch, Peter Thiel and throw in Mark Burnett who created this monster via the Apprentice, fooling people into thinking trump was a smart successful businessman.

Now I know I'm tired.
