Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

that's literally all she said. i think that's all she has said in public since Trump was actually President.

Melania & Kate up in heaven smoking blunts.

Waiting for when he finally refers to his youngest tallest son as Barack

lol

The tone is getting a little Jack Lemmon-in-Glengarry Glen Ross, honestly.

Donald Trump sent out a frantic fundraising plea centered around the possibility that Trump Tower might be seized as part of the massive New York fraud judgment leveled against him.

The former president's lawyers notified the court that none of 30 underwriting entities they approached would finance the half-billion bond he needs to pay as he appeals the fraud judgment, which means the New York attorney general's office could begin seizing his properties next week if he fails to pay by Monday's deadline.

"KEEP YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF TRUMP TOWER!" reads a fundraising email sent to supporters. "Insane radical Democrat AG Letitia James wants to SEIZE my properties in New York. THIS INCLUDES THE ICONIC TRUMP TOWER!"

COVFEFE is for closers

not sure if "donate now to help me keep this giant building" is an effective fundraising strategy

ironic trump tower

Maybe Trump should try to sell some single smokes outside Trump tower to raise some funds or open up an Only Fans site.

How many two dollar donations will it take to save this iconic skyscraper?

xpost - I think it's more the continued grift to his supporters of, "if they can do this to me, they can do it to you too! don't let them seize my property or they'll come for you next". always gotta milk that righteous indignation

Next week the Donald will have to move into Trump Trailer if things don’t work out.

Hoping George Soros buys the iconic tower

I still remember the first time I visited New York, circa 1989, and was struck by just how ugly Trump Tower is. It looks like a giant turd on Fifth Avenue.

Which is what made it all the more surprising when the Trump tower in Chicago didn't look like dogshit. That is it didn't before he had to piss his name all over the side in giant letters.

Hoping George Soros buys the iconic tower

and immediately demolishes it

it's a very sad situation

Letitia James is basically Al Queda--trying to take down this iconic New York tower

Ironically, the laughter was deafening when America first made Trump president. There won't be any laughter if it happens again though.

SNORT

I hope George Soros buys it and renames it Barack Obama Tower.

Some interesting points, pulled from Bluesky discussion:

• The appeal process is going to take years, so not being able to post the bond means he's completely fucked even if he eventually wins. And this isn't the kind of thing a president can pardon himself out of.

• The deadline for team Trump to file an appeal is 8/26–they can get two extensions of 30 days and maybe a bit more, but if the AG is foreclosing and forcing sales, they may want to move this along. Argument will happen before the end of the year and a decision will issue about two months later.

• The start of asset seizure will likely cause a cascading devaluation of his other assets, leaving him with a collapsing house of cards.

• It will take a while to seize the real property. Any existing lien holders will have a chance to get in there first, stake a claim and slow the whole process down. But any known bank accounts can probably be cleaned out within the week if the paperwork is in order.

What was the name of that song?

“You Played Yourself”?

4 years ago the country couldn't buy toilet paper.

Soon he won't be able to

Or maybe he'll be able to trade a few packs of cigarettes for a roll.

Which TP is worth more?
Toilet paper or Trump Properties

President Biden, speaking at a Texas fundraiser: "Just the other day, this defeated looking man came up to me and said: 'Mr. President I need your help. I'm in crushing debt. I'm completely wiped out.' I had to say, 'Donald, I can't help you'."

Cold.

Hahahaha

yo is it true donald god sonned by a biden after a campaign beef??????

I love how he (or his speechwriter) flipped the “men come up to me with tears in their eyes, saying sir, sir” goof of recent times into this banger

Keep 'em comin', Joe, bring on the mockery.

Meantime, Engoron has provided more details on what the monitor overseeing the business will be doing and what the obligations from Trump's side are. Fairly dry but I appreciate the stringency.

he told that joke at the gridiron dinner too.

If my sense of how the Trump Organization has operated in the past is even minimally correct, that Engoron court order will eliminate or alter nearly every one of their common "business practices". Donald and his shady deals are going to be put into a strait jacket.

It's notable that the order also indicates any surety bond planning has to go through her too -- IOW, the thing Trump's still trying to work out before Monday.

You love to see it. For those ilxors who continually bewail that Trump has never yet suffered any consequences, this court order should be required reading. Not every legal action against him will succeed as we would like, but the two Carroll defamation judgments and this NY fraud case are bearing delicious fruit.

Keep 'em comin', Joe, bring on the mockery.

agree.

still haunted by that time obama got him at the press corp dinner. but times are different. nobody will be surprised by trump these days. if he manages a new but as devastating reply, i should say he's the devil.

get him

lol

The twice-impeached Trump – currently the presumptive Republican presidential nominee – continued: “Democrats think that this will intimidate me. They think that if they take my cash to stifle my campaign, that I’ll GIVE UP!

“But worst of all? They think that YOU will abandon me, and that you will GIVE UP on our country. Here’s one thing they don’t know: WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER!”

just a little more time

no matter how many golf courses they seize from us

Just a little more time, to be sure, how I feeeeeeel

I will admit that economics tends to fly over my head somewhat, but can anyone explain what one word of this gibberish actually means?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/21/trump-truth-social

Digital World is a meme stock, the term for an equity that is boosted by amateur investors on online forums via internet memes (an image, video or piece of text that is copied and passed around, often re-emerging with slight alterations).

The most famous example of meme stock-boosting is GameStop, a US video game retailer that, although it appeared to be trending downwards in terms of its business prospects, suddenly attained a valuation of more than $22bn at the peak of a buying frenzy in 2021 – but is now worth just over $4bn.

In one meme example on the Digital World page on Reddit, a photograph of Trump pointing is emblazoned with the slogan “He’s Right! Get More DWAC [Digital World Acquisition Corp]!” Another shows a bald eagle carrying the US flag in its talons with the letters DWAC above it.

Julian Klymochko, the chief executive of Accelerate Financial Technologies, which has a Spac-focused fund, says Digital World’s soaring valuation has become detached from the fundamental value of Trump Media and its sales of less than $5m.

“The stock’s market capitalisation is completely unhinged from its underlying fundamental business value. The stock price is solely based on being a meme stock,” he says.

can anyone explain what one word of this gibberish actually means?

Morons People are buying stock in DWAC in order to show tribal loyalty and jockey for status within the in-group of terminal suckers hardcore Trump fans.

it just means trump fans are driving the stock price of a company hes associated with up because they like him not because the company is actually worth what theyre paying

which somewhat resembles the "meme stock" phenomenon of people banding together online to drive the stock price of a company up, tho in that case theyre doing it to make money not cause theyre fans, mostly i think

TrumpFans might be a good, wholesome venture for bored investors
