[basquebromance]

Investigative journalist David Cay Johnston has been reporting on Donald Trump since 1988, and admits that he has long been fascinated with a figure he calls “the greatest con artist in the history of the world.” Johnston first met Trump while reporting on casinos for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and has since served as a one-man fact-checking operation on Trump’s claims.

Sadly he's almost certainly not going to jail.

House arrest is about as far as it's possible to go.

The thing is, while he's obviously a con man, he's not really that good.

His "fortune" has been the result of Daddy's money and fraud-induced bank loans. The rest is fluff, fast-talking and makeup.

That's what makes this whole cult thing even MORE difficult to understand.
