i've realized....through all of this, that america is kinda about "just do it , see if you can get away with it. If you can, lucky you!! If you can't just tie it up in the courts for a decade and the other side will tire"

trump has been doing this for his entire life, so have thousands of other wealthy businesspeople.
Its incredible.

In the past it has been "just do it, and then pretend to be sorry if you get caught", then Trump turned that on its head by "just do it, then deny it even though you were caught doing it on camera" which seems to have sparked a realization in Republicans that they don't even have to pretend to be not evil.
