Because even paying off Trump for millions is a drop in the bucket when you have money like that.

If you have $1 Billion, a $5 Million "donation" as a tithe to the Orangutan, is 0.05% of your money. They're making that back before the end of the day.

A Billion is a massive amount of money, people just can't comprehend the difference from a million to a billion. The average human brain just hasn't evolved to comprehend numbers that large, it's just not useful in daily life.

The difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars; is about a billion dollars.
