I agree, which is why I used "wealth" and not "money", since power/status/fame is just another form of wealth. Trump seems to be a special mix of rich kid who didn't get hugged enough as a child.

Now that contradicts the narrative that the stock market thing is a ploy to make money.

Didn't his first term get his son in law a multi billion dollar deal with the Saudis? Along with all the other bullshit like getting paid because the secret service has to stay at his properties. This isn't the long con, this is just a continuation. He's a lot more organized this time around.
I’m not trying to ascribe moral character either. Power, status, fame, etc are just so much more compelling.
