For years, Trump ran a real estate business, casinos, and later a branding business with essentially no oversight from anyone. There was no board of directors and any kind of corporate structure that required him to account to anyone for his actions. Consequently, he did what he pleased. His reputation was that of someone who shortchanged (some would say cheated) contractors, willingly embraced lawsuits, and played fast and loose with the facts whenever he felt it was to his advantage to do so. Even his Trump University was little more than a scam to bilk hopeful, yet gullible, people out of tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for seminars that were essentially worthless. It should be noted that Trump was not alone in doing the latter as it's being repeated all across the country by numerous unscrupulous flimflam men.
Bankers eventually caught on to Trump's braggadocios (some would call it lying) ways, but by then, they were on the hook for millions and had little choice but to go along if they had any hope of recovering some of their original investments. Yet, that never stopped Trump from filing bankruptcy when it suited him.
Trump got away with most of it because there really was no one to answer to.
As far as I'm concerned, here's the mystery: Why would anyone with a modicum of common sense believe that he could take this kind of behavior (some would call it an act) which largely played out in private during his business years, and use this very same tactic in the largest most public arena in the world where thousands of people are paying very close attention to everything he says and does every single day and then assume he could still get away with it? It just boggles the mind.
From my perspective, it's nothing short of delusional.
Trump is dealing with some very VERY savvy people who have decades of experience in ferreting out crooks and liars once they come to their attention. Having said that, it only makes their job easier when they deal with someone who seems to believe that he can simply lie his way out of trouble with more lies if and when earlier lies failed. Trump is simply in WAY over his head, and professional media prevaricators like Sean Hannity are not going to be able to help him regardless of how many gullible viewers buy into Sean's nonsensical hysterics.
