they got rich by wanting to get rich and make money; that's the entire motivation and it doesn't have a ceiling.

you don't just get rich and stop, it doesn't stop for these people. They aren't rich enough. They aren't powerful enough.

Most folks at that table with Trump are way beyond the joy of creation; they're playing politics now, and their game is the competition with the 200 other hyper-elite for positional vying.

I don't have three commas but I got rich slow and then I stopped. I sometimes wonder what three commas would have been like, but then I see all these negative examples and I think I'd rather enjoy what I have than pursue more.

The way they suck up to Trump doesn't make them look powerful, it makes them look pathetically weak. I wonder if they feel like they are cleverly manipulating a moron.
