Comment: I agree DT probably has financial/business interests in Russia, and if they were known, they could be spun into a motive for being Putin's lapdog. But, Mike, ask yourself this question: Is Trump more driven by greed or by narcissism? 

I think his greed, his need to succeed in business, to amass wealth, is driven by his narcissism. That why Trump's mind so easily construes objective business failure as personal success. Thus, both objective failure and objective success equally feed his narcissism. 

As my brother famously said, Money is just the way we keep score. For Trump, his women are also just another way he keeps score. Both games feed his ego, his vanity. 

In the end, we're both reading tea leaves, but I think my leave are prettier than yours.  ;-}
