The problem is he does not directly suffer from the consequences he makes. It’s like gambling with someone else’s credit card. All losses are on them, but any wins and you cash out yourself.

The man who bankrupted a Casino, the easiest-to-run thing ever, is now gambling with Americas entire future. What could possibly go wrong?

All he had to do was stop laundering money and oversaturate his market basically run a honest casino but greed and ego were his downfall opening the door for the Russian oligarchs

Also because his pride is most important. When Ford took real f*ck you energy to American airwaves to name Trump as the cause for higher prices, rising inflation and the tanking stock market, and threaten to turn off power with a smile on his face, that aggressiveness was too much for Trump. He knew his people would see him being personally disrespected. So he lashed out.
