It does not make much sense but then if they are part of UN then their home country pays for their vacation as well as travel to home and return. However, the home country is reimbursed by UN. A greater of UN budget is funded by the US Government, a privilege earned by having the UN in New York City on property donated by John D. Rockefeller.

It's a bunch of things. The first thing to understand is that Donald J. Trump has exactly one motivation: what he thinks is good for Donald J. Trump. He doesn't give a flying fig about you, me, the Constitution, what's best for the country, the fate of the thousands of his followers he encouraged to go catch COVID-19. It's only and ever about Trump. If you don't understand this, you can't understand Trump. If you hear this and don't believe it, I suggest you're one of the many he's conned or grifted in his long career.The PowerFor one, Trump loves the power. Prior to the Presidency, Trump ran a family real estate business that morphed into a name licensing business. He was never the business mogul that was portrayed by the Trump character on his game show, “The Apprentice.” But as a normal President, he would be in the position to set policy and give orders. But in his Presidency, he's run things like the petty dictator or a banana republic, where the only qualification to hold any position in his administration is blind loyalty to Ill Douche.The Presidency also brought him his “base" -- his very own throngs of adoring fans. He restarted rallies immediately after winning the Presidency, and launched his 2020 campaign in January of 2017. This is all about boosting his ego, making a man who's never felt good enough about himself feel good for a few hours.The Daddy IssuesTrump was raised by a tyrannical father to believe that losing is an unacceptable weakness. Fred Trump built the business and, even after Trump became the figurehead, Fred was still calling the shots until he lost his mind. Donald grabbed the reins, and that pretty much always ended in failure. So he jumped onto naming things, pretending to run real estate projects that just bought the name, bankrupting casinos once his thumbprint was on them. He ran a series of failed scam businesses: Trump Steaks, Trump Air, Trump University, etc… always some kind of grift. Those made money, initially, because of his one win: he made $400 million over TV and branding due to “The Apprentice.” And that, along with grifting investors to move his personal stake out of failing businesses like his three Atlantic City casinos enabled him an “out" that hid at least some of the need to cope with ultimately having lost at something. And if money is a barometer, is it really a loss if you pocket millions from a scam like Trump University or the Trump Charity Foundation, even if they're ultimately shut down?But losing the Presidency, as much as the Donald J. Trump Neverending Whine Festival, Pity Party, and Coup d'Etat would like you to question, is fundamentally a black and white thing. Trump lost, and not by small margins. He is having to cope with that, and seems to have the emotional fortitude of a three year old being denied his binky.The CrimeTrump has absolutely run the Executive Branch like a Mafia Crime Family, which is no surprise. Because that is exactly how Fred Trump ran the family business, and the only form of management Trump has ever known. He demands that blind loyalty, to him alone, screw the Constitution, screw the People, screw the Law.One ultimate expression of this has been his lawless administration. Bill Maher called this the “Gussing" of the country. “Gus" is an old Disney film about a field-goal kicking mule. The rules did not specifically state that a goal kicker had to be human. This is Trump's approach to government. He's raking in millions from corporations and foreign governments via his properties, because he's President. Forbidden by the emoluments clause of the Constitution? Very much so, but what are you going to do about it? Congressional subpoenas? Nope… no doing it, sue me, it'll spend a decade in court. Stealing money from the military to build the wall? It's not illegal if you get away with it. And so on.Simply put, based on his upbringing and mentoring under his father, always seeking that approval that he never got, he approaches every new thing as a grift. A con. A cheat. That's not his last recourse to save a failing business as we find with so much white collar crime. It's his first thought. Like a mobster. It's long been understood in psychology that people who cheat believe that everyone who's successful also cheats. Trump might actually believe that only cheater win and losers are the ones who either didn't cheat or got outscammed by a better cheater. Which, of course, is the motivation to enter with the cheat and never even bother trying it straight.Also, as I had forgotten and John Hagelbarger pointed out, Trump had Roy Cohn as a mentor. Cohn was a dirty tricks guy for the infamous Senator Joseph McCarthy. It’s pretty clear Trump learned his skills at situational immorality and personal attacks straight out of Cohn’s playbook. Cohn’s main rules of conduct:Never settle, never surrender.Counter-attack, counter-sue immediately.No matter what happens, no matter how deeply into the muck you get, claim victory and never admit defeat.Sound like anyone we know who’s been involved in over 4,500 lawsuits? Cohn went from relative disgrace in Washington to becoming a major power broker, often working for those same mob guys that the Trump’s were dealing with in their Real Estate business. Cohn knew who to bribe, who to extort, etc. to make things happen in New York. He was instrumental in making the Trump business successful where others were not in NYC. He was the dirtiest guy in town.The LawThe thing that bakes people's noodles -- mine as well -- is how open Trump is about the cheating. He gets on National television and basically says outright “I am cheating you" and yet people support him. He puts it in small print on his donation forms, but the cheat is still spelled out, but it still fools people. He tells different audiences contradictory things and yet they both fall for it. He lies, he fails, he lies again, fails again, and still they believe the next lie.I guess that's what makes a Con Artist -- the ability to keep convincing marks. It's just that it's so damn frustrating that to a person grounded in objective reality, he's so bloody transparent I can't imagine my dog falling for it. Even when she was a puppy!However, the exposure of all of this continual corrupt behavior has not gone unnoticed by The Law. It had been… Trump was always a shady character around New York, maybe even worse in all his cheating in Atlantic City. But it had never quite been visible above the level of Trump's 4500-something civil court cases.But Trump's cheating in the election of 2016 sent Michael Cohen to prison, and certainly would have sent Trump there as well had he lost the election. Numerous investigations into Trump's finances showed huge debts, shady deals, money laundering, potential tax fraud, etc… all pressed forward by the publicity of his Presidency, all stymied by the reluctance or outright policy against prosecuting a sitting President. That's all moving forward when he's out of office. And numerous investigations have continued while he has been in office.It's also well understood that Trump has those huge debts. Some $350 million or more come due in the next two years, and Trump's last know last resort bank, Deutsche Bank, holds much of that debt and will not offer extensions or new loans to the Trumps. And if Trump gets into serious criminal trouble, those loans can be called immediately.So this is a big reason he wanted to stay in office. Most potential crimes done by Trump or in conjunction with the Trump Organization face a stature of limitations that would pass in a second Trump term, had he won. Prison and/or the poor house can be a mighty strong motivation for a gold plated dandy like Trump.The MoneyIn mid-October, Trump started raising money for what would be dubbed as his need to defend election integrity. Just as in 2016, Trump had started claiming, without evidence of course, that he could only lose if his opponent cheated. Understanding Trump's cheat-as-a-first-move mentality, that really meant “if his opponent cheated better than he did.” That also helps serve to cushion the fall of his crystalline ego smashing to the floor of an honest defeat, as is didn't in 2016 but certainly did in 2020.So that early money went to a Trump Leadership PAC, to the campaign itself, and a little bit to an actual “Recount Fund" meant to fund legal challenges. Pre-election, it's standard practice to employ teams of white-shoe lawyers, set to pounce on any problem that might prove election-changing. There is very little time after the election to plan this, and as the 2000 election demonstrated, things can wind up being decided in court. That only happened once, but yeah, normal these days to prepare. Joe Biden's campaign also had a legal team on tap.After the campaign, the fundraising moved to fight the results. In that first week, the Recount Fund got 40% of the money coming in, while the campaign got 60%, largely to pay off campaign debt. Most owed to the Trump Organization, so immediately into Trump's pocket. But really, the legal team had very little to do. Yes, Trump launched lawsuits all over the place, but with one problem: none of them had the slightest basis in fact. Trump can scam the public from his bully pulpit as President, but his lawyers can't lie to judges and expect to remain lawyers. So in less than two weeks, the white shoe lawyers all quit.The end? Nope… but why? Trump's ego? Well, so next up, Trump brings in Crazy Rudy Giuliani to head up a team of Fox News TV Lawyers. These are not the people even Trump would bring in to mount a serious legal defense. But for the court of public opinion, they're kooky, but better than “no lawyer.” At the same time, all money coming in goes to Trump's Leadership PAC and the RNC in a 75/25 split. They're still raising money to “stop the steal" or whatever, but none is actually going toward those efforts, which also aren't much a thing anymore anyway. But the idea of them? That is making bank. How much? About $450 million between mid-October and the last mandatory FEC filing at the beginning of December… the December haul won't likely be known until next week.Money in Trump's leadership PAC can't be used to fund regular campaign expenses for just next campaign, if there is one, but they can pay for just about anything else. Even personal expenses, family vacations, etc. This is a PAC construct used by most people in Congress as little more than a slush fund. The idea of a leadership PAC was to enable party leaders to function in leadership roles: fund campaigns, hire consultants, pay for polling, pay for their “wizened council” to other campaigns. But they have very few restrictions on use. And even if Trump's personal or corporate assets are frozen or seized, they can't touch this.So think about it… it took Trump 13 years of the Apprentice, associated licensing, brand improvements, foreign show versions, etc. to bring in $400 million. His supporters put more than that in his pocket in under two months… and it's not over yet. Not by far. He's still raising money to fight the election, despite his efforts to cheat the electoral college having fallen completely flat. Now it's on to the official tally of the EC vote in Congress next week. He won't cheat that, either, though he looks to have a few Senators and a bunch of Congresspeople make dubious investments in their political futures by supporting yet another losing effort at coup d'etat. And it's unclear why Trump needs to raise, only for this -- is he actually purchasing those Congressfolk? But yet the money come in.And it wouldn't be classic Trump without an additional grift. The initial fundraisers told you to donate and get a 1000% match… online, you had to beat a ticking clock, because this was a limited offer. What the fine print on the box you probably didn't uncheck, full of paragraphs of ALL CAPS lies about the Democrats, followed by a last little bit that explained that you were the donor for the 1000% match. You signed up for ten matching payments. Next, they added a second opted-in box full of paragraphs of ALL CAPS lies about the Democrats, followed by an extra payment you'll make in early December on top of your other December payment. And the last version I read kept everything the sane except now that 10-payment first box full of ALL CAPS lies about the Democrats now deleted the 10 payment part and just said “monthly."So, in short, Trump's big wet sloppy kiss to his supporters on the way out also included his own special cut-purse move. It will be interesting to see the December and January totals coming in, which might be a good indication of how many supporters fell for these things. I'll give him credit… the design of the web site, the 500-something fundraising email rounds, etc. were all designed well to snooker just the sort of person who responds to Trump in the first place. I wonder if this is pure Con Artist instinct, standard political operative fare by now, or if the have a cognitive psychologist helping on these things.Read MoreHow Donald Trump and Roy Cohn’s Ruthless Symbiosis Changed AmericaWere you conned into donating to Donald Trump's election defense fund?

Avoid clutter with practicing the philosophy of 'bring one thing in, throw two things out' at home.Always take the stairs, move your ass. Time spent keeping fit is NOT time wasted. No, I don't get bored when I'm running because I'm listening to an audio book, planning something or forming a strategy on how to approach a problem.Handle only once. If you pick up an item, open an email or check your voice mail. Respond, file correctly or take action immediately.Spend 'dead' ( e.g. waiting in a long line, commuting etc) time wisely by making plans, to-do-lists or learning something new.Say 'no' frequently. Accept you can't make everyone happy and your happiness is a priority.Get some good organisational tools and learn to use them properly, it pays off big time. e.g. Evernote.When packing for a trip or an event, sit for a moment and visualise how you anticipate a day will be. Start from waking in the morning through to going back to bed that night. Make a list all the items you will need and pack only those. 7.a - Take old clothes on vacation which you can leave behind and donate to charity. Hopefully you are following rule one and will have some space for the 'one' new thing coming in. :)Make a mental 'landing strip' for when you arrive home. Keys, wallet, work security pass, phone etc all into a familiar location. Use it and you won't be madly running around looking for your items in the morning.Tidy as you go and in general 'front load' your difficult tasks. If your job is to eat a toad today, do it in the morning. If your job is to eat two toads, eat the big one first (I'm sure I stole the example from a Quora user but can't think who. Sorry)A smaller home in closer proximity to your work, friends and interests is a much wiser choice than a bigger more opulent property hours away. You will learn to enjoy and be completely happy in a comfortable smaller space and you won't appreciate an extra spare bedrooms, separate dining room and the big back yard as much as you think. In fact you will likely see them as a burden.
