31. Shame!

But not unexpected.
Other than feeding his ego, Trump's motivation has always centred on the accumulation of money.

But it is dead money, and won't be used for anything that benefits American society.

Hopefully very little came out of the pockets of common people who might have been able to do something useful with the money - like buy food, pay bills.
