That's not what I said, nor is it the point. It wasn't even all of the $160 million, but a sizable portion of it. Chump change for both men, to be sure.
The point is that Trump will do anything, say anything and make any deal with anybody if it benefits him. Trump stands for nothing but Trump.
Soros and his well-placed minions in the federal government (including the White House and Federal Reserve) can do things for Trump far beyond any piddling cut of a $160 million real-estate investment. The fact that Trump didn't hesitate to deal with him once is reason enough to believe he wouldn't hesitate to make a deal again. He's a man of privilege. If Soros can help him preserve that privilege in the post-"radical transformation" America of his dreams, Trump won't hesitate to make the proverbial deal with the devil. Especially if he believes Soros' dream is closing in on becoming reality.
Have you once questioned when, how and why Trump's miraculous metamorphosis came about? What's more likely? That he's...
A) had a sudden, late-life epiphany sometime since the November elections; or
B) made a strategic calculation of some sort based entirely on his own self-interests?
There's zero evidence to support the former, and an overwhelming abundance of evidence to suggest the latter. There's simply no good reason for any unemotional, rational person to believe what Donald Trump is saying right now.
And some think Trump has decided that what will benefit Trump most is to win the presidency and fight the "radical transformation" rather than plan for the worst and wait for it to happen.
I know Soros uses his fortune to peddle influence and to manipulate events if he can, but I don't view him as being as powerful as some seem to, and I see no reason to believe that Trump has thrown in with Soros in trying to shape the future of the US. Time will tell.
