What's your gut feeling? Will the wall be built?

9. I'm beginning to think it's not just about the politics

And I’m probably going off on some kind of paranoid, conspiratorial binge here. But I was pondering why he is so hell bent not just on the wall, but on this specific number of billions of dollars attached to it.

And then I’m thinking: what has this man been doing all these years? Well, building things, for one. With other people’s money, and stiffing contractors all the time, and going bankrupt, and getting mixed up with Russian mob figures because the banks won’t lend him money anymore.

And he’s probably up to his neck in it. And these contractors and mobsters probably want their money back. And $5.7 billion in federal contracts will probably get them off his back and prevent them from putting a horse head in his bed or worse, like kidnapping someone near and dear.

Well, there, I said it. And it may be kinda nuts. But nuts is how this guy rolls. It may just be his last possible way of getting a jumbo loan to take the heat off.
