Timothy Snyder suggests (plausibly) the Tangerine Tyrant is bringing about the 'superpower suicide' of the US... entirely to enrich his friends & family.
In a sense we all have intuited this for some time, but Snyder joins the dots in a helpful way.
indeed, we might conclude the individualistic logic of the US has finally (as many would expect) bitten it in the arse courtesy of the corrupt family Trump.

Not a destination, it's a process where they extract everything they can out of a business and then leave the creditors and everyone else holding the bag. Featured in Goodfellas and The Sporanos. I recon it's been done to a whole country before, but never on this scale.

He'll probably be dead within a year anyway. He maybe wants to upgrade from a gold to a platinum toilet on the way out.
The rest of those in on it become super rich and therefore by the core principles of the US not accountable for anything they did. That's the plan, all of the plan.
It'd be nice to prove them wrong about the last bit, but they're playing the odds and the odds say what's left of the US will keep licking boot.
