      Each one of Trump’s business partners thinks “I’m not gonna get screwed by this guy!” and in the end each one of them does.

        Surely the 40+ years of people saying he’s a con man narcisist are surely wrong.

        You’d think after walking past hundreds of guys with knife stabs in their back they wouldn’t enter a business deal with the dimwit waving a bloody dagger around.

      there are always the people in every horror movie who think that if they deliver their friends into the open drooling maw of the monster stalking them, they’ll get a reward.

      the “reward” is usually at least as bad as their friends’ fate. it’s just narcissism really. they think they’re more like the enemy than they are like their friends, so it would be natural to spare them. but they’re all just meat to the monster.

      trump is just a shitty xenomorph. small hands instead of small mouth, and substantially less physically threatening. I think they both probably have the acid blood though.
