    Stop down voting this, people! Moore may be a bit questionable himself, but in this case he’s right. Trump is extremely good at subverting established systems to his own advantage. That is because he sees every interaction in life as a zero-sum deal. If he doesn’t achieve 100% of his aims, he loses. He has no respect for anyone except himself.

    Case in point: he just got assessed a whopping judgement. And he can’t raise the capital easily for it. So what does he do? Offer a bond for less than 1/4 of it and ask to call that good. He is approaching a court judgement as just another negotiation, totally ignoring the fact that if anyone else did that, they would get their ass handed to them by the court. He thinks that gives him leverage.
