remember after the inaugural he screamed at people that HE should get the money people were donating to the inaugural committee.
sick, sick, sick.
Agip, come on. Trump is maybe worth $2 billion - maybe slightly more or slightly less. You really think he is worried about $100K that he could be making from the debates?
you really have no idea of what kind of a person trump is. You think he is normal. He is not normal.

New findings, for instance, show that the Trump Foundation’s largest-ever gift — $264,631 — was used to renovate a fountain outside the windows of Trump’s Plaza Hotel.
Its smallest-ever gift, for $7, was paid to the Boy Scouts in 1989, at a time when it cost $7 to register a new Scout. Trump’s oldest son was 11 at the time. Trump did not respond to a question about whether the money was paid to register him.

The first time Trump paid attention to any of this was when he read about it in the newspaper. The story revealed that Trump’s very own transition team had raised several million dollars to pay the staff. The moment he saw it, Trump called Steve Bannon, the chief executive of his campaign, from his office on the 26th floor of Trump Tower, and told him to come immediately to his residence, many floors above. Bannon stepped off the elevator to find Christie seated on a sofa, being hollered at. Trump was apoplectic, yelling: You’re stealing my money! You’re stealing my fing money! What the f is this?
Seeing Bannon, Trump turned on him and screamed: Why are you letting him steal my fing money? Bannon and Christie together set out to explain to Trump federal law. Months before the election, the law said, the nominees of the two major parties were expected to prepare to take control of the government. The government supplied them with office space in downtown DC, along with computers and rubbish bins and so on, but the campaigns paid their people. To which Trump replied: Fk the law. I don’t give a fk about the law. I want my fcking money. Bannon and Christie tried to explain that Trump couldn’t have both his money and a transition.

FOLKENFLIK: Then, as now, Trump talked about winning in business, in romance, in life. Yet, Spy investigated the shakiness of his business dealings and revealed how most developers in New York real estate considered him a bit player. In one stunt, the magazine sent tiny checks to prominent New Yorkers to see who would cash them. Those who did received a series of checks, each diminishing in size. For Trump, the checks kept coming.
CARTER: He cashed the 64-cent and the 32-cent check. Then we sent out 16-cent checks to people, the people who'd signed the 32-cent check. And only two people cashed the 16-cent check, Adnan Khashoggi and Donald Trump. So if we had designed it, we couldn't have designed it any better.
