A week into his bank fraud trial, Donald Trump late Thursday night dropped his oddly aggressive lawsuit against the judge overseeing the case—a move that had been seen as a last-minute scramble to avert a potential unraveling of the tycoon’s real estate empire.

But that happened anyway when Justice Arthur F. Engoron concluded the former president was a serial liar who faked the size of his buildings and value of his properties for years, ordering the family business’ licenses to be revoked.

His "business model" for his entire fucking life has been seeking attention and then leveraging his fame (or notoriety) to make money. If he'd ever kept a low profile, he would now just be a weird-looking old fat guy with a shitty haircut and orange skin.

That's not a haircut, that's an obscenely expensive hand weaved mat of his own hair. Basically a very expensive hair piece that looks worse and costs more.
