When Donald Trump wants something, he takes it.
He grabs oil, gropes women and bombs the shit out of people.
He lies and back-tracks on promises and contracts.
He buys and bribes.
He sues.
There is a german metaphor: "jemanden mit Geld zuscheißen" - shitting money on somebody until you defeat him, e.g. with a smear-campaign or by intentionally ruining his business (there's a cruel and decadent under-tone in the german original that doesn't come across in the english translation)

That's how he has operated his whole life.

And now, all of a sudden, none of this works. It has worked his whole life, but none of these tools can get him the Presidency. Why doesn't it work this time? There can be only one explanation: It's rigged.
