    Anyone think, given the way he's been lashing out at GOP leadership, he announces he's runing as an indie?

    OK, I just clicked on those links. ... First off, Johnston said that he found that nearly $1.7 billion in revenue flowed through him and his organizations. Revenues aren't profits (what made implied in that first headline). And he lumped in political fundraising Trump did (for example, $500 million on the Stop the Steal nonsense), so yeah.

    I'd caution that if you want to stretch it, you could put a number (obviously not nearly as high) on how much Obama or Bush benefited financially from the presidency.

    That number makes no sense. I will say two things though: 1) the whole Drain the Swamp thing is pure BS when you look how Trump personally profited from foreign countries and his domestic sycophants staying at the DC hotel and holding events in Florida at his properties to curry favor. 2) Trump only golfing/going on vacation at his properties lined his pockets with each and every round. He could have said that the Secret Service wouldn’t be charged a dime but instead they made sure that the spigot never turned off.

    Out of all the stupidity of the American people that has made me want to pull out what little hair I have left, the idea that one of the most transparent grifters and bullshit artists of our lifetime was going to "drain the swamp" felt like it had come straight out of a Lewis Carroll story. It's right up there with the notion of a jerkoff who had disdain for the typical person who now supports him being one of them.

    Aside from the overheads associated with the properties, what would have been his costs?

    Trump doesn't have allies, foreign or domestic. He has business partners, and the second they're of no use to him, they're enemies
