That's what it looks like.
The boasting that he was a great businessman and deal maker was all a facade. He was just propped up by the Russians.

(5,210 posts)I am personally convinced he wants to be an oligarch just like Putin, AND that Putin and friends have helped him in many ways toward that goal. Of course, part of the bargain is being "nice" back to Putin, when he can.
It's also pretty likely if not absolutely definite he meets with various Russian oligarchs at Marilago and probably other of his properties -- at least one person on Twitter tracked some of their flights -- or yacht moorings -- into places where he was, a day or so ahead, etc.
Your explanation works as well as mine.

Trump equates wealth with status and value as a person, as it seems most Americans also do. So the public's perception of his wealth is most important to him. In reality he is a most shallow, vacuous, psychopathic dumbass who desperately needs validation to fill his empty soul.
