If Trump wins the election or the next coup is successful, it doesn’t hurt to have the new dictator owe you a favour; if not and when the appeal fails, Trump has plenty of assets that can be seized to recoup the insurance company’s losses. It’s just good business (and, as usual, good business is bad for society in general).

It turns out that Trump may have called in a major favor: Court records filed Friday show that the bond was guaranteed by the Chubb Corporation, an insurance group. In 2018, Trump appointed Chubb’s CEO Evan Greenberg to a White House advisory committee for trade policy and negotiations.

He’s fucked if he loses. That’s why he will play dirty to win.
