Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

ok let me rephrase that

he's totally fucked financially and there's very little he can do about it, and people are not going to throw enough money to him for him to crawl out of it

I think his kids are more fucked than he is. He'll either be President again or go off somewhere to die in peace, but his family is unlikely to be able to grift at such a high level after he's dead.

there have to be gold bars buried on that golf course of his somewhere. they will spend the rest of their lives digging for it.

Twenty-four hours after he's officially declared dead the Russians and the Saudis are gonna round up all the Trump kids and explain exactly how they're going to start paying off their father's markers, immediately, and who's going to get bone-sawed first if they don't.

You all are fucking delusional. Those shits are going to stay rich until they, too, die.

that's what the bone saw is for

Like sorry not sorry, but the dream of class-based downfall independent of violence is just that— a dream. Unless someone takes their money from them— and the Saudis are not going to do that— then they will just continue to be rich little maggots feeding off the rest of us. That’s the way capitalism works.

35% of the buildings in the world will eventually start collapsing due to the rollback of regulations and cost-cutting measures and AI construction and I'm sure the Trumps will eventually be in one of those buildings

Netanyahu and the Bushes in the rest.

that's what the bone saw is for

My favorite Amy Grant ballad.

"I see," said the blind man, as he picked up his hammer and (bone) saw.

After Trump dies there will an international Deals shortage that will throw capitalism into a death spiral

lol Alfred

You all are fucking delusional.

Naw. They're just indulging in a bit of wishful thinking for personal amusement.

Anyway all that money he's supposed to be getting later? About that.

oompa loompa doompa de fuck

But what does one rhyme with that

xp what a surprise

Gift link -- a solid enough summary of Trump's facing something he's never wanted to do: actually disclosing what he's worth.

Relatedly, this filing from E. Jean Carroll's lawyer Roberta Kaplan yesterday is worth a read for the first two paragraphs alone.

this is praxis

This is exactly what he should be doing:

"Loser" has become a favorite Biden taunt of Trump lately" pic.twitter.com/r81yPd2FzP

I'm the only one who has ever beat him. And I'll beat him again.

And again. And again.

Sounds kinda kinky.

getting "loser" to stick seems possible (he won't be able to resist helping) and effective.

he starting to do the late-era Lenny Bruce thing

“Some people call it an experiment – I don’t call it an experiment,” Trump said of the United States. “I just say this is a magnificent place, a magnificent country, and it’s sad to see how far it’s come and gone … When you look at the depths where it’s gone, we can’t let that happen. We’re going to straighten it out. We’re going to close our borders. We’re going to drill baby drill.”

As the unhappy warrior spoke, 10 guests headed for the exit, apparently worn down by the misery of it all.

lol “the unhappy warrior”

Biden should start calling him that

A rare Al Smith reference, but wasted on 99% of the electorate.

"drill, baby, drill" I guess these bozos figured out it was time to coin a new 3 word slogan even more annoying and objectionable than "jobs, jobs, jobs,"

"Drill, baby, drill" is a recycled Sarah Palin slogan from 2008.

talk about scraping the oil barrel

he does that con man thing of talking about how great everything is going to be really well. i mean, he's good at it. he would have been good at selling insurance. everything is always in the future. everything now is horrible. and if it never happens it doesn't matter because he can just keep talking like that forever.

"Drill, baby, drill" is a recycled Sarah Palin slogan from 2008.

And yet if you ask him he'll say he came up with it.

"Let's Make America Great Again" was Reagan's 1980 campaign slogan

Turns out "American carnage" was not descriptive, but aspirational.

pretty bad Bradley Cooper film too

Unhappy sniper

"drill baby drill" is particularly stupid because US oil production is at an all-time high and the US is now the world's largest oil producer

facts don't matter to MAGA

He's just playing the hits. Next it'll be "lock her up."

I love how he thinks he's running against Barack Obama.

Technically he is! we all know the Obamas still control the deep state from Epstein Island.

smoking Kools and kiteboarding

I love how he thinks he's running against Barack Obama.

I think I mentioned this elsewhere but this is way more concerning to me than Biden's verbal slips, like it's one thing to mix up people who have similar positions or statuses but the current President, and guy you are running against in the election, should not be one of those things you mix up. in fact asking who the current President is is one of those things they ask you when you're suspected of having a concussion.

Also Biden has been making verbal slips since 1980, that's just how he's wired

I think there's a credible case to be made that Trump decided to run after Obama roasted him at the 2011 Correspondents' Dinner. Of course, Trump had already been riding the "birther" hobby horse--that was the basis for Obama's jokes--but there certainly was an obsessive quality to the way Trump tried to erase Obama's legacy. So, in some ways, I suppose he is still running against Obama.

There are Trumpers who think Obama is the real President and he tells Biden what to do. Or the real President who isn’t Donald Trump.

The Hidden Imam*

*President

it's weird because it's not like fringe hateful conservative candidates, some with decent fame/money, hadn't run before, and usually did poorly (including he himself in his failed Reform Party bid in 2000). but gay people being treated better and a Black man in office for 8 years pissed everyone off so much that he became their hero.

it's weird how it's just accepted now considering how ridiculous it seemed at the time.

sigh

otm. I remember an Obama-era Village Voice article titled something like "White America Has Lost Its Mind," describing exactly this phenomenon.

So the Reform Party now includes a Klansman—Mr. Duke, a Neo-Nazi—Mr. Buchanan, and a Communist—Ms. Fulani.
This is not company I wish to keep.

my how the times change

He was referring to the Communist

And the one in the middle was on the right…
