You know, I think one of the things that confounded people during Trump’s first term, there was this idea that he has always existed beyond the reach of the law, that he had nine legal lives and had only gone through one of them. And I think you’re now seeing, at least on a financial basis, he is getting exposed for decades of what he has been doing, which is inflating, lying, exaggerating, however you want to describe it, how much money he has and what he does with his money. I think that is one of the things that's gnawing at him more than almost anything else in this current round, is that the emperor has no financial clothing.

VELSHI: "Or he is a really bad businessman."
