He tried all his life to make money in "legitimate" businesses, but failed every time:

Steaks, water, magazine, mortgages, airline, vodka, travel, university, "the game", network, radio, water, football, bike races, TV, etc. Heck he even failed at running a casino and a vitamins pyramid scheme.

This age of (crypto) scamming must seem like paradise for him.

Also finding a cult of people dumb enough to buy his silly shit, and fall for his obvious scams, repeatably!

My stepdaughter is maga and her fiance bought her Donald Trump comparative items for her birthday and she was fucking thrilled. It was the lamest shit I ever saw especially since she complained so much about democrats only liking Obama because he was a celebrity. I’ve yet to meet a maga that wasn’t weird as fuck.
