Why would a corporation give millions of dollars to Trump's new ballroom? Could it be buying favors to enrich their pockets?

Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. (1/2)
