Comment on Trump invites world leaders to put money in his pocket

I’m kind of confused why trump is still being so openly corrupt in the service of gaining more money. The man is 79. Even out of office he’ll have secret service protection for the rest of his life. According to trump’s own CDC life expectancy for US males is 75.8 years. What’s he even going to spend the money on? As much as I hate to admit it, holding the office of President makes him the most powerful man in the world. He doesn’t even need money because he can just use his corrupt power to take anything he wants from anyone on the planet.

For someone in that position, accepting bribes in the form of money should be boring and belittling.
