When, as a kid, I was told that in America, anyone could grow up to be president, I certainly never expected it to mean this.

His Chicago property sticks out like a sore thumb:
“The debt against Trump’s Chicago tower includes the most confounding liability in his portfolio. In addition to a Deutsche Bank loan for what seems to be $45 million, there’s a loan of more than $50 million, from a creditor named Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC. Here’s where things gets confusing: Donald Trump owns Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC, so he’s lending money to himself. If one of his companies owes more than $50 million to another one of his companies, then the company lending the money should theoretically be worth more than $50 million. But Trump does not list any value for Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC on his financial disclosure report. All of this has befuddled investigative reporters from Mother Jones , the Washington Post and, yes, Forbes for years.”

The glorious self-owns these people engage in, demonstrating just how badly they misunderstand what the majority of the country is desperately hoping for:
I mean, imagine thinking that comparison was an insult in 2020? (check out her replies, well worth it)

Taking a page out of Bruce McNall’s playbook, I see. The only difference is that McNall is reportedly a very nice guy.

You were right. Those replies were a breath of fresh air!

Not sure that meets “defies the odds”.
Trump is a reality show that’s about to be cancelled- no one wants to watch it anymore.

That’s only due to millions of illegal viewers, especially in California!

unfortunately, nbc is still happy. they sold millions of eyes worth of ads that they wouldn’t have otherwise. and probably to a tightly constrained ( and therefore more valuable ) demographic.
even watching the abc biden thing i was struck by how well monetized our democracy is. ads, everywhere, ads. i’m not even sure what got more air time. biden, or the ads.

Not sure if this has been posted here, but I asked about the cost of Trump’s COVID care on another thread and NYT recently updated their story on it:
Overall, about $100k (which seems low to me) and that’s not counting the multiple tests he had access to before the diagnosis. Some people can get them for free or about $100, but others have gotten bills ranging from $1,400 (drive through test) to about $6k (Test administered in ER).

Did it include the cost of the private suite? And the helicopter ride?

I don’t know about the private suite. The story is sparse. They did mention that the helicopter ride was a big expense, so I think that was included.
I wish they or someone else would do a more thorough review, and break it down to, say, what someone on Medicare could expect for out of pocket expenses, given the same level of treatment, (even though we all know no one on Medicare would receive the same level of treatment…)
