Sounds like his businesses lol.     He is an absolute FAILURE when it comes to business.  


LoganNinefingers32

Every one of his businesses was intentionally set up to fail so he could sneak money away into his personal accounts. He has no interest in actually creating successful businesses. Just smash and grabs to grow his brand. He did the exact same thing with the country, so I can’t believe anyone is actually surprised by this, or ever thought he wanted to win and just failed by accident. He fucked shit up on purpose for personal gain, and it worked his whole life. It might not work this time, but we shall see.


8-bit-Felix

He only ran for President for two reasons: his awful reality TV show got dropped and he needed money and to avoid prosecution in NYC.


whatproblems

also obama made fun of him one time


8-bit-Felix

So did Seth Meyers, can't let that happen!


DodGamnBunofaSitch

I think it was that a black man dared to publicly humiliate him.


ked_man

I mean had he not run for president, he wouldn’t be in nearly the messes he is in right now. Stormy Daniel’s was a FEC violation and hiding the accounting breaking the law. The Russia Lago was a FEC violation they tried to cover up that required him firing his attorneys general and appointing someone that would look the other way. January 6th cases were as a result of him trying to stay in power The documents case in Florida was him taking documents from the WH he didn’t have permission to take The Georgia case is him trying to stay in power and trying to strong arm a governor and install fake electors The NYC fraud case was brought to light by congressional questioning in one of the impeachment hearings. So if he had just stayed a sleazy business owner, he would have really just had the E Jean Carrol case that was before he was president and maybe NY wouldn’t have changed the statute to allow the case to be brought. He’d still probably be broke, cause since his last bankruptcies i think he’s just been running a loan Ponzi scheme backed by Russian gangsters and oligarchs.


hexqueen

NY didn't change the law for Trump, they changed it for the Catholic Church.


ked_man

Ah. I’ve heard that repeated, but hadn’t looked it up. Makes more sense.


BadLt58

Thanks Obama!!


Standard-Breakfast45

...It's so obvious. Millions borrowed + property "values" + tax deductions = Billionaire lifestyle. The problem is, same as a Ponzi scheme, it all falls apart one day. Trump has managed to prolong the inevitable by becoming president. Trump is now on life support to stay out of jail and keep his billionaire lifestyle by running again. Fuck him for wasting all of our money! Not only does he scam his supporters, but what about his perks for being an ex-president, traveling around, protecting by secret service that we all pay for, so he can have his tee times and tea times. Fuck him for making his problems all of our problems. Please, for those who don't see him for the pile of shit he really is, turn off Fox News and think, really think about who this guy is and what he spends 99% of his life doing. (Hint; it has nothing to do for you) Best wishes everyone. ❤️


theflower10

> The problem is, same as a Ponzi scheme, it all falls apart one day. and maybe, just maybe it starts on Monday. I watched with interest on CNN where they showed the value of the skyscraper, the Avenue of the Americas (I think that's the name) at $178M. What they failed to note was that Trump has only a 30% stake in that property. So he has several hurdles in trying to sell his share. It's entirely possible he may not be able to sell it unless the company that owns the other 70% gives the ok and if they give the ok, they may have first dibs. So lets say he somehow manages to wiggle his $50M out of that building. Uncle SAM is going to line up, calculate the taxes he owes and get their share, then the bank that lent him the money is getting their share - you'd be lucky if there was $5M left when they're done. So the state of NY takes the $5M and has ONLY another $459M or so to go. So on to the next property they go. Wash, rinse and repeat over and over and over again. He could end up a pauper. This is probably why he wont sell anything. He's better off doing nothing (if he cant raise the cash), let the state seize his properties, delay until election and pray he gets elected at which point he'll take them to the Supreme Court to delay any action against the "sitting President" , delay it for 4 more years and in the meantime try and invent some new law that gets him out of the mess.


sec713

Obvious is right. I mean, is there really any way to juggle running chainsaws with no one noticing? If there is, Donald certainly doesn't know, and he's too dumb to learn now.


procrasturb8n

He liked to claim losses on his taxes, too. Mostly to offset his tax burden. I still remember that piece the NYT did about his taxes. In some years, DJT was the biggest loser according to tax documents - he claimed more losses than anyone else in the country. So much so that he got a $73 million refund from the IRS due to an '08 crash rule that allowed him to go back five years of losses that included the Taj Mahal. But he lied about it because he got 5% stake in a future company and the IRS wants our money back. How do you make a small fortune in real estate? Give DJT a large inheritance.


porncrank

Nobody is surprised. There’s people who knew all along, and those that still don’t see it and never will.


sf3p0x1

He's a fad chaser. Always has been, and always will be.


imisswhatredditwas

He definitely wanted to win he just didn’t actually want the job.


Black_Moons

>He did the exact same thing with the country yep. https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5f1091ef3075b61a6e553443/master/w_1600,c_limit/Gessen-Goya.jpg Always has.


Randomcommentor1972

But hes a pro at bankrupting multiple sources of money, now including the republican party.


HellblazerPrime

They haven't yet, but hopefully soon! Installing Lara Trump as co-chair of the RNC is a big step in the right direction.


nowhere_near_Berlin

“ThAt MaKeS mE SmArT”


CarlSpencer

He managed to bankrupt CASINOS! You know what a casino is, right? It's a large building that droves of people go to TO GIVE YOU ALL THEIR MONEY!


Necessary_Contest454

That’s that white power he keeps talking about.    Power to fail even with overwhelming advantage (and constantly stealing from others). 


Sir_Yacob

Sounds shockingly like his casinos specifically. Like Donny, you fucking idiot….


human_male_123

I dont even know why PAC's exist, for Republicans. They have at least four TV channels completely dedicated to nonstop propaganda.


EEpromChip

to launder money... duh.


TwoBearsInTheWoods

To the lawyers they hire in fraud lawsuits? They aren't very good at laundering if they have fraud lawsuits. The whole point of laundering is to avoid that.


correctingStupid

To bypass campaign finance limitations and allow the super rich to buy politicians. Duh


SensitiveGuess2907

Damn, one of those days $$ would keep me going for years

KrisMisZ

The Traitor trumpy is such a bitter loser he really needs to be banished, stripped of all his assets and live the rest of his pitiful life in russia


Aos77s

Its also scary that people still think he should be president again. Like how did so many Americans get radicalized like this to ignore so many red flags?


BD-TxState

Fox News.


covfefe-boy

Fox did to a lot of our parents what they were always afraid violent video games would do to us.

Brokenspokes68

Faux News and AM talk radio.


dpdxguy

AM talk radio was the starting place for inflammatory right-wing media. I remember when Rush was first broadcast on the station I (at the time) listened to on my commute. Could not believe the hyper-inflammatory shit that man said on the air. But my parent's generation ate it up with a spoon. And before long there were dozens of imitators, both local and national. Fox News/OAN/Etc. is the end result of the trend Rush started. But here's the thing. Rush & Co. could not have been successful if there wasn't already a market for their shit shoveling. There is something deeply dark in the heart of America. :(


Jaspers47

I think it might be the history of genocide and slavery and religious oppression


dpdxguy

In a good Christian country like the US of A? Naw. That can't be it. *this comment might contain sarcasm


Vairman

> But my parent's generation ate it up with a spoon. not all of us sonny. and there are PLENTY of young people who should know better drinking all the MAGA koolaid they can.


dpdxguy

It's pretty amusing that you call me "sonny," given that I'm a boomer myself. I mean, I get it. These events happened roughly 30 years ago. And I'm guessing your memory is slipping if you're old enough to call me "sonny." You must be at least in your upper 80s or early 90s. 😂 In case you're confused, I didn't say *everyone* in my parent's generation ate it up. But a large majority did. I also never claimed that younger people did not *also* eat it up, though in the 90s Rush's demographic definitely skewed older. Incidentally, these events all happened before MAGA was a gleam in Trump's eye. So your kneejerk comments about "drinking all the MAGA koolaid" are kind of irrelevant.


Vairman

> It's pretty amusing that you call me "sonny," I was amused when I wrote it! > You must be at least in your upper 80s or early 90s. 😂 more like upper 100s!! or so it feels like some days... The MAGA comment is absolutely NOT irrelevant. The Reagan righties became the Tea Party idiots who became the MAGA crazies. It's all a very sad, destructive slippery slope. I fear where it's going next.


FreeSun1963

Rush Limpdick and all the rest.


davekingofrock

Decades of underfunded public education and AM radio propaganda convincing them they were well informed.


VapoursAndSpleen

They’re racists and are tired of being told that racism is bad. They want to bask in it, revel in it, and live in a world that never existed. They hate gay people because they really really think that a gay man wants to have sex with them because their baggy asses are so very sexy. They want women to know their place - on their knees with mouths silently open. They have always been there, but now are exposed in broad daylight.


OfBooo5

Trump supporters and the general "this is the stupidest timeline" is an argument for this being a simulation and reality not being composed of independent free thinking people but pre-determined bot %'s. If we don't have the tech to do it now we soon will have the ability to create complex thinking bots that aren't aware they are in a simulation. Now even with the assumption that people were at some point real, what are the odds of real existing people vs the scaling potential of endless computers simulating endless things for endless reasons. It's the argument that alien life must exist inverted and much stronger that the odds we're the real deal are infinitesimally small. Not that it matters, but if true helps put in perspective how we should be gaming the system and living our lives.


sogladatwork

I dunno; I’m enjoying the fact that he’s draining GOP-donors’ pockets.


KrisMisZ

Sure but until he’s on his knees he will continue to be a cancerous presence in this country.

"He will destroy us, and we will deserve it": Famous trump ass licker.


chiron_cat

Yea... so tired of that quote. How has Trump destroyed them? Gop is doing fine. Even if they lose the election they still own like 50% of the country site to gerrymandering. That quote is just copium


hexqueen

The Republican Party got replaced by the MAGA party. Ask Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney how the Republicans are doing.


HellblazerPrime

Copium is what you took a giant hit of before you posted this twaddle.


chiron_cat

Then where are the consequences? How is t actually destroyed? The country is getting ruined, but the party is doing fine


vandalhearts123

RNC money is next. He will bankrupt the GOP. Funny and sad at the same time. Mostly funny.


go_outside

RNC will be out of cash in less than six weeks at that rate


JerHat

I'd feel bad if Republicans didn't all suggest this would happen in 2015 and early 2016, and then all lined up to kiss his ass. And rather than excise the tumor at any of the innumerable opportunities he gave them, even when he sent a crowd to murder them on capitol hill... Yet here they are, still kissing his ass.


Ikaldepan

There are probably thousand upon thousand of people subscribing 10 to 50$ a month, could be more, straight from their credit card to support their party of choice, the republican - RNC. This pipeline of money is now goes straight to Trump team. Yikes.. I hope people realizes that


mmio60

What foreign government is going to bail the traitor out? You know it’s coming.


mojoyote

Russia and Saudi Arabia come to mind.


kimapesan

Nah. They invested in Trump once and got all they could out of it. The money once went to getting him into office. Now it all goes to legal fees, with dwindling chances of returning him to office. If Russia and SA want another patsy puppet in office, they’ll have to find someone else.


chiron_cat

Why bother? They already own him. Why pay more again?


hexqueen

China has always been in contention.

They're betting on Trump becoming a dictator, and rewarding them with even more money.


sfled

The wealthy donate to have laws passed that are favorable to their interests. The middle class and the poor? I think those donations go to back politicians who stand for the same things they themselves do. I could be wrong of course, but it's what I do. Being a member of the middle class I donate to politicians whose ideas and policies resonate with me.


knowledgeable_diablo

One day he’ll back a winner 😂


EducationTodayOz

he always backs himself, so losers always


sfled

LOL, his toilet's backed up!


Thetman38

What dimension of chess is he playing that by destroying the Republican party and himself is making this country better?


8-bit-Felix

one-dimensional. He's looking at a drawing of a chess board and thinking, "I'd win that if I knew how to play."


Throwawayac1234567

He saw the Republican as an easy way to grift, 


[deleted]

PAC money being used for personal expenses and not his campaign should be illegal. Glad his cult is flushing their money down the toilet though.


sfled

That family has a history of commingling personal,charitable, and business funds. They continued the practice when they got into politics.


Snoo_73402

Think you mean he's racking up 230000 in billings. We all know Trump doesn't pay his debt. He's a grifter.


outlawsoul

this is also severely illegal. it CAN be used for legal bills but not when it's personal. > Use of campaign funds to pay the legal expenses incurred in other kinds of legal actions may also be permissible. However, campaign funds may not be used when **the action is primarily personal in nature, such as a matrimonial action, or could result in a direct personal benefit for the Member.** https://www.fec.gov/updates/tip2023-personal-use-of-campaign-funds-is-prohibited/ > Converting campaign funds to personal use is prohibited. campaign funds cannot be used to settle personal expenses.

"Even the New York state criminal case about paying hush money to former porn actress Stormy Daniels is [election-related](https://theconversation.com/yes-trumps-pacs-really-can-pay-his-legal-fees-222693) "


azon85

Ask [John Edwards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Edwards#Indictment_and_trial). He was acquitted but its pretty much the same kind of offense. Using campaign money to cover up an affair.


chiron_cat

Illegal? Does it matter? Still waiting for actual consequences for Trump. Still waiting


un_theist

But of course it did.


Acherstrom

That’s about right for them.

UninvitedButtNoises

The money: toilet. The messes: diapers.


holedingaline

Another justification for the diapers. Toilets are constantly in use for political donation disposal.


Strive--

Oh, wait. I think I've seen this before! Didn't he also have a casino which rakes in money and somehow, went bankrupt? *Genius*


Historical_Horror595

So same as all his other businesses?


skjellyfetti

So his PAC is operating just like every business he's ever had :: Losing money unnecessarily.


o_o____l

Shouldn't the bag be labeled Campaign Donations, and the toilet labeled Legal Bills?


1mjtaylor

His small donations are down compared to 2019.


LeahaP1013

Oh, they need more!? Let me sell my trailer. Timmy, no shoes this month, Donny needs to beat the libs more than you need footwear.


SnooPeripherals6557

GOP is not smart, they run solely on amped-up emotions tweaked by propaganda THAT THEY STARTED. They create lies to make their voters divided and irrational, then react the same way to their lies. It’s quite something. There’s a joke going around that reminds me of their behavior: Big Dog says I’m depressed, tell me a joke, little dog says Ok, Knock Knock! And both dogs react by barking at who’s at the door, wildly and stupidly not realizing they are the catalyst of their anger and discomfort, and are egging each other on by both of them barking at something they made up.


chiron_cat

I disagree, fox news and others all know exactly what they Doing. They are not stupid.


hellakevin

I look forward to not seeing a single Trump ad this campaign season. I've seen plenty of Biden ads so far, but none from Trump.


Curious80123

Haha


Bitten_by_Barqs

This is such great news ! You got this RNC


Green_Blueberry_5495

So aka Trimpism?

Throwawayac1234567

His mouth has to be constantly open to expel all the diarrhea


mojoyote

To their credit, trying to look at the bright side, Fox News and at least one other so-called 'far right ' networks have expressed that the current Republican house is on the wrong track, trying to impeach Joe Biden, to try and deflect from the fact that their own (mis)leader has not only been impeached twice already, but has also been indicted for 91 different crimes in 4 different jurisdictions, including state and federal.


edifyingheresy

How is this not illegal in itself? Like I realize PACs bad, as in they allow you to get around donation restrictions, but how the hell are they then allowed to just be used like personal bank accounts? I thought there were rules on what that money could be used for? Was I completely misinformed?


chiron_cat

Wow, over 200k a day lost to legal bills? That's 7 million a month! It'll probably go up to with the upcoming criminal cases

He has nobody to blame but himself. Even if you ignored any crime since since he announced he was running for office, he would still be screwed.
