Hm. Normally his lenders would doing all that stuff, but his loans aren’t very normal.
Trump is broke and his kids don’t know.
“I am not Eric” - Eric
And, yet again, projection rears its head.
The sad thing is that Qusai probably actually believes this nonsense.
This parallels mob prosecutions. The fish may rot from the head down but by starting at the tail they can reverse engineer and expose the corruption all the way to the top.
Starting with the Trumps would be an endless game of cat and mouse (to extend the animal metaphor which is sooo appropriate).
He does seem to have enjoyed a suspicious revolving door of credit for decades. But as that thread speculates, when a rotting 75-year old has leveraged his brand that much, and his brand has become radioactive, his creditors’ confidence could collapse pretty suddenly.
I’d also add that if creditors were scared to cut him off because he was president, they might see this as a great time to get out of the Turmp game, rather than risk being back in the same position in 3 years. Especially because if he’s broke, he’s even less likely to get reëlected.
Someone said that if Trump goes bankrupt he’ll become more dangerous, because he won’t have anything to lose.
This is mob prosecution.
And yes, taxes - that’s a good way to get them.
If Trump goes bankrupt he will switch from being an asset to being a liability for everyone he has ever laundered money for. This might open interesting possibilities, one way or another.
One of the defining characteristics of mafia organizations is family, after all. Will the Trump progeny remain loyal to the family and willingly go off to prison for their father?
Something, something, lighten the sleigh, something… Pass the popcorn, please.
Going bankrupt in the past hasn’t stopped the rotting orange with a comb over from gaining assets of over $2 billion.
Jail time within the prison and capital punishment system that he has exploited would be a very welcome outcome.
Am I the only one who hears the theme to Succession and envisions the face of Kieran Culkin at each mention of Eric Trump?
Incredibly sad to say, but I think pretty much everyone in the Roy family is more likable than the Trumps. That is saying a lot, too. I bet the Trump kids would envy the Roy kids.
If you’re a career criminal it pays to go into politics, because then you can dismiss any investigation into your life of crime as politically motivated. If you’re successful and you become a powerful politician, prosecutors will be reluctant to investigate you for fear of looking “politicial”. If you get voted out, you should never rule out running again, because then you can keep complaining that the investigations are “political”.
You’re right. I would totally have a beer with any of the Roy kids. I wouldn’t even want to patronize a place that would serve any of the Trump kids.
Telling people you’ve lived an “amazingly clean life” is something only shady people do.
