Last time he tried to hide it. This time he is being completely open about the fact that he is for sale because he believes that he is untouchable.

He doesn't have to believe he is untouchable, he's been proven untouchable over and over again, no matter what he did

He's untouchable because American voters don't care about any of this.

I think it's beyond the point where

  • caring will make a difference

  • voters will realize that 1/3 of them are wrong

But I do hope to be proved wrong on this.
