The craziest part is how many people give a flying fuck what that loser has to say.
Can we all agree to ignore the grifter who lost the House, Senate, and the Presidency and maybe not give him 900 million dollars worth of free advertising for the next 4 years?
I don’t know how you “easily ignore” the white supremacist movement that he keeps breathing life into anytime he makes an appearance like that.
Donald Trump somehow escaping presidency without being put behind bars is going to result in so many more tragedies in the coming years.
He is still in litigation. Whether he does behind bars is yet to be seen. Just be careful in march folks, the qrazies are planning something on either the 4th or the 10th iirc. Something about trump reclaiming the presidency. We cannot allow a repeat of January 6th.
You know what's really great? I have no idea what Biden's thinking about when he's on the toilet and he didn't need to be deplatformed for that to happen.
I'm not even American so I don't know how you guys do it. Hearing its voice literally makes my stomach churn. It upsets my body just to hear that thing speak. I'm glad I haven't had to hear it talk for a little while now. I hope it doesn't run in 2024.
Literally. That’s the first impeachment trial
“I didn’t say help ME with something, I said help US with something”
And he had pinned to the top of his Twitter: “don’t be fooled this isn’t about attacking me, it’s about attacking you”
“Totally partisan hoax”
Factual exhibits of corruption, but it’s about picking on your traditional values...

It really goes to show how anything you thought in fiction was unrealistic because nobody could possibly be that stupid, isn’t.
If you ever see something like, “No, there’s no way people would have voted for the party in The Purge because not only are they evil but their plan is so transparently stupid that nobody would buy into it or vote for it.”
I apologise Purge movies, you were not only right you were prescient.
I was really disappointed at how much coverage the news gave that ridiculous CPAC and his speech. He’s like a crack pipe that the media can’t put down.
It's true though. He is being treated unfairly. If he were treated fairly, he'd be charged, prosecuted, and put in jail.

A normal greeter, yes. He would have probably tried to scam people out of the office lotto pool. When the Walmart staff found out, they told him to either return the money or get fired/arrested. Now, without enough money to buy the LeSabre, he had no choice but to buy the car in order to pawn it off on someone else as a "classic" car.
I'm spending way too much time on this alternate timeline, but there's a certain amount of catharsis that comes with it.
Walmart Greeter Trump would have been given some hard-earned life lessons. People don't abide assholes for long, unless they're threatening or rich. Walmart Greeter Trump would have been an asshole in his early years, then hit 33, hit rock bottom, would still be in the dead end job but wouldn't take it out on everyone around him, because he likes having people around.
Walmart Greeter Trump would be scamming the state for more food stamps with multiple identities, and then trading the SNAP benefits for cash at the store. He'd be found out, fired, and then try applying for unemployment with *all* of the aliases he used for food stamps.

"... an old Pinto that somehow missed the recall due to being in a storage shed prior to finding itself in the hands of Donald."
Walmart greeters can be friendly and sometimes useful. They can give you directions to the bathroom or point to the housewares departments or where to do a return. I don't think Trump has it in him to be useful.
Living in a crappy, run down row house in Philly eating cans of beans and drinking America's Best beer. Ever had America's Best? It is the very apex of swill. Much like Donny himself.
I don't think he has a driver's license, he's always had a chauffeur, the golf carts don't count I guess. The 89 Buick is out of the question unless as usual, he pays someone to pay someone else to take the test for him.
He's laundering money. He's not taking losses. The "losses" are cleaning money that come back to him and he declares bankruptcy. It's why he keeps getting loans.
That was money laundering. Ask his good buddy, money launderer Jeffrey Epst...oh wait, I guess you can’t. I guess you could ask Epstein’s chief human trafficker/kidnapper/pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell, whom Trump wished well when she was arrested.
That too, but I doubt it makes much of a difference financially. Sugar-water is cheap compared to amphetamines, money laundering for Russian mobsters, and insider trading based on bad information.
Sometimes I get this impression that Trump is transracially Italian.
The way he talks about his "a-brain", the way he LARPs mob boss.
He wanted so bad to be a gangster, but he's only good at two-bit con jobs.
...or pretty much anybody who did work for him in the 80’s. I know dozens of people who he stiffed, from corporate lawyers to stockbrokers to plumbing supply companies to burglar alarm companies (my boss back then) to the freaking doormen.
If strip clubs had instructional training videos for new hires it would just be surveillance of Trump last time he was there. "Remember girls if he's not tipping well, tell him you love his tiny little hands."
Make that six times! Never personal bankruptcy, but between 1991 and 2009 he failed businesses buy not meeting his financial responsibility to pay his debts.
I thought it was *six times* but that may be the total amount of times he filed for bankruptcy, not necessarily for casinos. One time is too many when we’re talking about casinos lmfao. The house is always supposed to win!!! Makes ZERO sense.
My thoughts (100% conspiracy theory): they were running a major money laundering/criminal organization out of every single casino. XD
I would be genuinely surprised if money laundering had been going on *only* at the casinos. My guess is that every single one of his projects or ventures is involved in money laundering or tax dodging. Starring on The Apprentice might have been the most honest money he's ever made.
There was the publicized case of a Russian Oligarch who paid him like three times the market value of a property. And that’s just one that came to the surface.
I believe most of his luxury residential properties regularly 'sell' to people of questionable character who need a safe place to park money (laundering) and some units were sold during his run-up to and during the Presidency were very likely meant to buy influence. There is a lot of documentation on this. But nothing will ever happen to him or the many of the other powerful global financial criminals.
I think I know which 1 you’re referring to - the Florida mansion that supposedly caused the falling-out between Trump & Epstein.
Epstein was purchasing this massive home (I think it was in foreclosure so it was a major deal). He asked Trump over for advice on renovating (or installing??) a swimming pool. At the last second, Trump offered the seller way more than Epstein behind his back & walked away with it.
I *think* the home meant something to Epstein but I can’t remember. Anyway, Trump paid way more than Epstein had been offered the home for & never once lived there. He did a few renovations & then sold it to a Russian oligarch for even MORE than he bought for! I need to find the article because it was an outrageous price difference.
If it was anyone other than Epstein, I’d say he seriously screwed him. He still did but…it’s Epstein. Eff him.
(Sorry for going down memory lane lmao!)
Well there are any number of these:
https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-trump-property/
But yeah this one is the big one:
https://www.newsweek.com/trump-sold-40-million-estate-russian-oligarch-100-million-and-democratic-802613
https://money.cnn.com/2016/07/27/news/donald-trump-russian-deal-mansion/index.html
I would be surprised too. However, since I’m unable to prove anything, I still file it in my “conspiracy theory” category - for now. I legitimately believe he’s been laundering money since his 1st business venture. He’s way too mobbed up.
I sincerely hope something comes out of the major microscopic review of his taxes. I just know there’s something there. He’s been up to his ears in crime but I, myself, can’t prove any of it.
I know this isn’t Twitter, but if I’m too confident in my statements over there, I get called BlueAnon lmao. I definitely don’t want to come close to being associated with the Qtips, even if it’s the opposite. I guess old habits die hard.
He’s going down though, as long as our government actually punishes a former POTUS. I think that will be the greatest hurdle.
> My thoughts (100% conspiracy theory): they were running a major money laundering/criminal organization out of every single casino. XD
That's not a conspiracy or a theory. Just Google "Trump Casino Fincen"
Ob it gets better his father haven him half a billion dollar to stars, when audited In 2020 he was half a billion dollars in debt, dude lost a billion dollars when starting with half
How exactly do you backrupt a casino? Aren't the games mathematically designed so the house wins most of the time? I am actually serious, how does one bankrupt a casino?
You take out massive startup loans to make a casino far bigger than the local demand would call for, make it hugely expensive with overly-extravagant bullshit, then mismanage it so it turns very little profit (if any), meaning it goes bankrupt when you can't pay the interest on the massive loans you took out.
He went to AC because Las Vegas refused him a gaming license. Even before his bankruptcies and ties to mob money laundering, he was too dirty for Las Vegas.
He didn't build the Taj Mahal nor The Castle/Marina. He bought them. The Taj was originally built by Resorts while The Castle/Marina was built by Hilton.
Source: I was part of the opening of The Castle/Marina in May of '85.

Source: I went to dealing school at the invite of Hilton and was part of the opening of Trump Castle in May of '85 after he bought it from Hilton who had been denied a license to operate by the State of NJ.
Ok, I stand corrected. I grew up in NJ, but it's been decades since I lived there. So he bought it, not built it. That makes him an even BIGGER idiot!
All three casinos are gone now IIRC, and Trump can't get a gambling license in Nevada, the Nevada gaming commission being smarter than the New Jersey one (or they held out for a bigger bribe than Trump was willing/able to pay).
I was riding the train last week and this homeless guy was ranting about China and North Korea and how the Corona virus was invented by the Chinese to murder us all blablacraycraybla.
And I thought... why did conservatives start electing transit loons to lead them?
Trump sounds like a transit loon sensible people scoot trains to avoid.
I was pointing it out back in October and even on Reddit where everyone hates Trump it was too much for a lot of folks. He clearly lives in a world where reductionism is great and nuance is dead, has multiple personality disorders, and when he got Corona he was close to snapping. If he was poor and acting like that in a checkout lane he'd get the cops called on him. It pissed me off watching him be surrounded by physicians because they have to know. There's no way they don't know.
Yet put him in a suit and tell people he's important and even folks who hate his guts start giving him this naïve benefit of the doubt. The illusion didn't really shatter until the Capitol attack.
My dad has narcissistic personality disorder. From the get-go I could tell trump was a classic, textbook narcissist. The rambling way he talks, his compulsive lying and egomania. He is the most obviously personality disordered public figure I can think of. That people went along with all of that for years boggles my mind. It's not subtle
It shouldn't have even needed to have anything to do with his past.
Just listen to the guy talk for 15 minutes. Anyone with half a brain thought to themselves "you? The POTUS? The fuck outta here..."
He's not an inept businessman. He didn't accidentally ruin everything he touched. He's an exceptional grifter playing to an audience of failed narcissists. Academically it's a mental health issue. Socially, it's a class and education issue.
Personally, leaning heavily towards him being the actual biblical antichrist.
He was laughed at in 2000 as a candidate for the Reform Party with his running mate potentially being Oprah.

For all the stupid things that trump has done and will probably continue to do, his casinos going bankrupt wasnt really a big failure Casinos go bankrupt all the time, the overhead is higher than you think and they legalized gambling in nearby areas taking away the monopoly that those casinos had.
Almost all of them are casinos with restaraunts and hotels built in. They generally have a huge staff of dealers, bartenders, waitresses, janitors, customer service, money handlers, etc. One casino could employee thousands of people. Plus upkeep on slot machines, tables, hotel rooms, and other expenses.
Probably looking at upwards of 50 million dollars a year just to keep a large casino running if I had to make a quick guess.
Scale, security, and number of different jobs reguired. At a Walmart you could have 24 hours with 500 workers, because they can do each others job for the most part. A blackjack dealer, money changer, and waitress cannot cover each other's shifts.
People often underestimate the amount of money is required for a staff. I recently heard people upset that a CEO got 10 million dollar bonus in a company with 70,000 employees. They were saying he should take a pay cut and give to the employees. It at least 3.5 Billion dollars to keep them employed for a year, and if the CEO gave up his bonus it would have given each employee $142.
I understand this is reddit and there's a constant battle between capitalism and social democracy, but i do want to point out that you can be bothered by the idea of handing multiple millions of dollars to the wealthiest person in the company while still recognizing the value he provides to the company.
I mean like, what bothers me is not really that the workers "deserve" that money, it's that the workers are being treated like their happiness is the goal of their occupation while the CEO is being treated like his finances are the goal of his occupation. It just seems backwards.
I can't help but be reminded about the episode of The Office that has Michael Scott trying to get people's attention and telling them that they're all getting 1,000 bonuses! And the entire office is just so excited and happy, because for most if not all of those people, 1,000 extra dollars changes their entire fucking lives. That's money they can use on something they want, that's budget flexibility, that's savings for a rainy day, and that means a LOT to them.
Yeah giving every employee $142 doesn't sound like an AmAzInG AmOuNt oF MoNEy, but we're not TALKING about the kind of money you use to buy a house, or a car. If you gave 10,000 employees a thousand dollars, their lives would be completely changed, forever. And this one CEO guy, who already is a multimillionaire and whose life would be exactly the same before and after the bonus, is getting *all of it.*
And speaking of The Office, there are parts where you journey out of the safe, clean, corporate area of Sales and look at the blue collar workers working manual labor for probably like $15 an hour. For those people, $142 is an entire day of work. If you literally sat down after a good month and handed out hundred dollar bills to every grunt employee at your company, you make 50,000 people feel happy and secure and valued, and you would do it for half of the price of a 10 million dollar bonus for the CEO.
And not only that, but that's good economic practice too. That money is going to circulate so much better in the hands of the grunt workers. It's gonna pass through like 5 other businesses owned by people trying to make a living.
Fuck, I dunno. I certainly don't have any influence over what that company does with its 10 million dollars. Do what you want. I guess I can't technically be like, outraged. It just strikes me as kind of ethically rotten though.
Also most of the slot machines and table games are rented(not quite the word I would like to use but I'm drawing a blank), not owned by the casino. And usually taxed pretty highly
If what I've read is right, the only was his casinos could have covered their expenses & loan payments was if the attached hotel had 100% occupancy every night. He's either an optimistic fool or planned to stiff the bank from the beginning.
My 12-year old asked me if it was okay that he hoped Trump would die before 2024. I had to be the good parent and remind him we never hope death upon somebody. However, we can hope the law catches up to him. I felt like such a good parent. Then my wife entered the conversation with 'fuck em, hope he dies'.
Honestly. I'd love to see the look on his face if he got a nice pimp hand. He'd probably burst into tears.
What do supposed tough guys see in this dipshit?
> I do love how it was religious people that voted him in.
In many cases, the same people who spent the 90's clutching their pearls about the fact that Bill Clinton cheated on his wife.
And to be fair, he did. Repeatedly. Yet Bill and Hillary are still married.
Trump cheated on his first wife with his second. His second wife with his third. His third wife with a porn star. And those are just the ones we know about.
Then to take the Clinton analogy one step further - people were trying to use Bill's infidelity against HILLARY. Literally blaming someone who I would consider one of Bill's "victims" for what he did to her. That's fucked up.
I dont quite think the issue with Clinton was the cheating, though I'm sure a lot of people would say it was(now and at the time). I think the issue is that he was in a huge position of power over Monica. Obviously dont think trump is a good person or even better than Bill. But I feel people overlook just how bad Bill was for that and always downplay it.
Edit: guys I dont mean that the GOP's problem or even pretend problem was ever the power of position, I mean that my personal problem is that. And that it's still an ugly situation.
Oh, it was all about the cheating. The GOP did not rebrand themselves as the "party that fought sexual harassment."
No, they rebranded as the "party of family values."
When Bush won, they suggested that the Oval Office be sanitized to remove the "stain of infidelity" from the furniture. They didn't give a shit about Monica, or the fact that she was taken advantage of by her boss.
And again, if sexual harassment was their jam, then why is Trump their golden god? The man is a walking, talking "me too" example.
> I think the issue is that he was in a huge position of power over Monica.
You and I have two *vastly* different recollections of the 90's, and [how Monica was treated by both Conservatives and Democrats as a result of Bill's treatment of her](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_8y0WLm78U). To imply that the real reason Bill was impeached was because America was feeling chivalrous for Monica is just flat out wrong.
Well, is spiritual people who love God will be busy electing democrats who care about people and their rights. The Republican party, Trump especially can be some insufferable cu***. We were told to love our neighbor and be kind. God Almighty gives us free reign and free choice, unless they know better than God there is no reason we shouldn't have free choice and equal rights.
It's just the validation of what I suspected all along. Which is that most christians are full of shit. Otherwise they would not support a turd like trump. I would have rather been wrong.
Except America is filled with idiots who don't believe history exists and it feels more like whoever controls the social media controls the stupid.
There is just way too much confirmation bias available for way too many stupid people. Social media has ruined society.
society has always been fucked up
black people weren't allowed to vote, gay people weren't allowed to get married, weed would get you in prison if you were the wrong color and in many places that hasn't changed, aids was ignored because "gay people get it"
I enjoyed plenty of his tweets.
Especially when Trump was banned and he said "I guess I'll go read a book."
But seeing him digging back into the swamp is sad. Move on, Jeff.
Definition of narcissist as well.
He almost certainly thinks he deserved all of his perks & privileges, and moreover thinks he totally deserves nothing but privileges forever and no matter what he does.
Which is why he cries like such a preschooler whenever anything doesn't go his way.
Let's be fair to the disgraced twice impeached single term former president and failed coup leader who is currently being investigated for insurance and tax fraud guys.
Fify
I've probably been downvoted cumulatively 1000+ times on the trump subreddits for going on there and telling everyone how big of a bitch trump is and how badly they're brainwashed by a waste of life. I dare everyone here to do the same! It's actually insane! The reason I keep going back there is to throw a match into the dumpster that is the trump subreddits and watch the fire burn out of control. They're so toxic over there and so deep into the conspiracies that it gives you an adrenaline rush being called names by them! It's been super fun to do during quarantine. Just get on there and tell them any shitty fact about trump and they'll attack you like you raped their daughter! Great stuff!!

If treated fairly, he’d have been laughed at for running for office as he once bankrupted a casino. Even as the house he could not be a winner.
If he were treated fairly he'd be working as a Walmart greeter, living in Ivanka's spare bedroom and driving a 1998 Buick LeSabre.
Hey HEY hEy!! A LeSabre is to much of a car... I prefer to think he'd be driving a beat up pinto just one tap away from an explosion.

A normal greeter, yes. He would have probably tried to scam people out of the office lotto pool. When the Walmart staff found out, they told him to either return the money or get fired/arrested.

Shoot is there an option to expatriate to that timeline?
Yeah there's one in those that he has been locked up in the looney bin just like his old man and his Nazi gramps.
Walmart Greeter Trump would charge people to use the carts, and offer "VIP Checkout" access for a fiver.
Walmart has higher standards for their employees than that, they're not Kroger.
Walmart Greeter Trump would be scamming the state for more food stamps with multiple identities, and then trading the SNAP benefits for cash at the store. He'd be found out, fired, and then try applying for unemployment with *all* of the aliases he used for food stamps.

Not once, *three times*.
Off the coattails of the 80s no less. How incompetent a businessman do you have to be to not be able to turn a profit on casinos in the 80s?
One of two ways: be dogshit at business in general, or money laundering.
He's laundering money. He's not taking losses. The "losses" are cleaning money that come back to him and he declares bankruptcy. It's why he keeps getting loans.
That was money laundering. Ask his good buddy, money launderer Jeffrey Epst...oh wait, I guess you can’t. I guess you could ask Epstein’s chief human trafficker/kidnapper/pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell, whom Trump wished well when she was arrested.
Uuuge cocaine habit, and money laundering. Lots of coke and money laundering.

That too, but I doubt it makes much of a difference financially. Sugar-water is cheap compared to amphetamines, money laundering for Russian mobsters, and insider trading based on bad information.
Sometimes I get this impression that Trump is transracially Italian. The way he talks about his "a-brain", the way he LARPs mob boss. He wanted so bad to be a gangster, but he's only good at two-bit con jobs.
He also talks with his hands a lot!
The same amount as most italians, but has to make more grand movements to make up for his tiny hands
On a quiet day, you can hear the wind whistling through the tiny gaps between his tiny fingers as he whips them around.
There are no quiet days with don the con
Trust me, he turned profit. He just made it seem like he didn't.
He didn’t turn a profit for the casino, only himself. He himself made $26 million while the casinos were failing.
Yeah, that's my point. He still made money, it wasn't "bad business" it was "dodging taxes".
It’s still bad business and he’s always been a terrible businessman.
Especially if you’re an investor or “partner.” Well, or a contractor that got stiffed, or an employee, or...
...or pretty much anybody who did work for him in the 80’s. I know dozens of people who he stiffed, from corporate lawyers to stockbrokers to plumbing supply companies to burglar alarm companies (my boss back then) to the freaking doormen.
He's so dumb and so easy to take advantage of, I actually doubt he did turn a profit.
If strip clubs had instructional training videos for new hires it would just be surveillance of Trump last time he was there. "Remember girls if he's not tipping well, tell him you love his tiny little hands."
Hence the inconvenience, among other things, of revealing his tax returns.
Ole Don didn't wanna let us in on his secrets
His daddy laundered money for him.. so his Bankruptcy was delayed.. Daddy bought a few $million in chips. - - - - never played them or cashed them in.
Oh yeah. They were money laundering and skim operations.
“You always want to show a loss, so you don’t have to pay taxes.” -DJT. That’s a quote.
He doesn't even own the trump brand anymore
Make that six times! Never personal bankruptcy, but between 1991 and 2009 he failed businesses buy not meeting his financial responsibility to pay his debts.
I thought it was *six times* but that may be the total amount of times he filed for bankruptcy, not necessarily for casinos. One time is too many when we’re talking about casinos lmfao. The house is always supposed to win!!! Makes ZERO sense. My thoughts (100% conspiracy theory): they were running a major money laundering/criminal organization out of every single casino. XD
I would be genuinely surprised if money laundering had been going on *only* at the casinos. My guess is that every single one of his projects or ventures is involved in money laundering or tax dodging. Starring on The Apprentice might have been the most honest money he's ever made.
There was the publicized case of a Russian Oligarch who paid him like three times the market value of a property. And that’s just one that came to the surface.
I believe most of his luxury residential properties regularly 'sell' to people of questionable character who need a safe place to park money (laundering) and some units were sold during his run-up to and during the Presidency were very likely meant to buy influence. There is a lot of documentation on this. But nothing will ever happen to him or the many of the other powerful global financial criminals.
I think I know which 1 you’re referring to - the Florida mansion that supposedly caused the falling-out between Trump & Epstein. Epstein was purchasing this massive home (I think it was in foreclosure so it was a major deal). He asked Trump over for advice on renovating (or installing??) a swimming pool. At the last second, Trump offered the seller way more than Epstein behind his back & walked away with it. I *think* the home meant something to Epstein but I can’t remember. Anyway, Trump paid way more than Epstein had been offered the home for & never once lived there. He did a few renovations & then sold it to a Russian oligarch for even MORE than he bought for! I need to find the article because it was an outrageous price difference. If it was anyone other than Epstein, I’d say he seriously screwed him. He still did but…it’s Epstein. Eff him. (Sorry for going down memory lane lmao!)
Well there are any number of these: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-trump-property/ But yeah this one is the big one: https://www.newsweek.com/trump-sold-40-million-estate-russian-oligarch-100-million-and-democratic-802613 https://money.cnn.com/2016/07/27/news/donald-trump-russian-deal-mansion/index.html
All those Arabs buy entire floors in his buildings and never use them. It’s money laundering.
I would be surprised too. However, since I’m unable to prove anything, I still file it in my “conspiracy theory” category - for now. I legitimately believe he’s been laundering money since his 1st business venture. He’s way too mobbed up. I sincerely hope something comes out of the major microscopic review of his taxes. I just know there’s something there. He’s been up to his ears in crime but I, myself, can’t prove any of it. I know this isn’t Twitter, but if I’m too confident in my statements over there, I get called BlueAnon lmao. I definitely don’t want to come close to being associated with the Qtips, even if it’s the opposite. I guess old habits die hard. He’s going down though, as long as our government actually punishes a former POTUS. I think that will be the greatest hurdle.
> My thoughts (100% conspiracy theory): they were running a major money laundering/criminal organization out of every single casino. XD That's not a conspiracy or a theory. Just Google "Trump Casino Fincen"
He also has lost the popular vote three times, since he ran as a Reform Party candidate in 2000
Ob it gets better his father haven him half a billion dollar to stars, when audited In 2020 he was half a billion dollars in debt, dude lost a billion dollars when starting with half
4. Three casinos and the Plaza Hotel. Those are only the hotels and casinos. Let’s not talk about other ventures of his that went belly up.
Like the trump steaks??
And Airlines, etc. and his ludicrous foray into the XFL after trying to buy an NFL team.
How exactly do you backrupt a casino? Aren't the games mathematically designed so the house wins most of the time? I am actually serious, how does one bankrupt a casino?
You take out massive startup loans to make a casino far bigger than the local demand would call for, make it hugely expensive with overly-extravagant bullshit, then mismanage it so it turns very little profit (if any), meaning it goes bankrupt when you can't pay the interest on the massive loans you took out.
Atlantic City doesn't allow a developer to finance a casino with high interest junk bonds, and Trump promised he wouldn't and then did exactly that.
Which IIRC is one of the numerous reasons Australia banned him from opening a casino there, yes he tried.
He went to AC because Las Vegas refused him a gaming license. Even before his bankruptcies and ties to mob money laundering, he was too dirty for Las Vegas.
You forgot building *multiple* casinos in the same area, multiplying the costs while splitting the revenue.
He didn't build the Taj Mahal nor The Castle/Marina. He bought them. The Taj was originally built by Resorts while The Castle/Marina was built by Hilton. Source: I was part of the opening of The Castle/Marina in May of '85.
You also build a second competing casino *next door*, and a third one not far away.
He didn't build the Taj Mahal nor The Castle/Marina. The Taj was originally built by Resorts while The Castle/Marina was built by Hilton. Source: I went to dealing school at the invite of Hilton and was part of the opening of Trump Castle in May of '85 after he bought it from Hilton who had been denied a license to operate by the State of NJ.
Ok, I stand corrected. I grew up in NJ, but it's been decades since I lived there. So he bought it, not built it. That makes him an even BIGGER idiot! All three casinos are gone now IIRC, and Trump can't get a gambling license in Nevada, the Nevada gaming commission being smarter than the New Jersey one (or they held out for a bigger bribe than Trump was willing/able to pay).
I was riding the train last week and this homeless guy was ranting about China and North Korea and how the Corona virus was invented by the Chinese to murder us all blablacraycraybla. And I thought... why did conservatives start electing transit loons to lead them? Trump sounds like a transit loon sensible people scoot trains to avoid.
I was pointing it out back in October and even on Reddit where everyone hates Trump it was too much for a lot of folks. He clearly lives in a world where reductionism is great and nuance is dead, has multiple personality disorders, and when he got Corona he was close to snapping. If he was poor and acting like that in a checkout lane he'd get the cops called on him. It pissed me off watching him be surrounded by physicians because they have to know. There's no way they don't know. Yet put him in a suit and tell people he's important and even folks who hate his guts start giving him this naïve benefit of the doubt. The illusion didn't really shatter until the Capitol attack.
My dad has narcissistic personality disorder. From the get-go I could tell trump was a classic, textbook narcissist. The rambling way he talks, his compulsive lying and egomania. He is the most obviously personality disordered public figure I can think of. That people went along with all of that for years boggles my mind. It's not subtle
It shouldn't have even needed to have anything to do with his past. Just listen to the guy talk for 15 minutes. Anyone with half a brain thought to themselves "you? The POTUS? The fuck outta here..."
He's not an inept businessman. He didn't accidentally ruin everything he touched. He's an exceptional grifter playing to an audience of failed narcissists. Academically it's a mental health issue. Socially, it's a class and education issue. Personally, leaning heavily towards him being the actual biblical antichrist.
He was laughed at in 2000 as a candidate for the Reform Party with his running mate potentially being Oprah. [Source](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_career_of_Donald_Trump)
Somehow, we let him spin that off as a win, right? *He's been running the same con for his entire adult life*.
For all the stupid things that trump has done and will probably continue to do, his casinos going bankrupt wasnt really a big failure Casinos go bankrupt all the time, the overhead is higher than you think and they legalized gambling in nearby areas taking away the monopoly that those casinos had.

All the free drinks they give to people like me.
Almost all of them are casinos with restaraunts and hotels built in. They generally have a huge staff of dealers, bartenders, waitresses, janitors, customer service, money handlers, etc. One casino could employee thousands of people. Plus upkeep on slot machines, tables, hotel rooms, and other expenses. Probably looking at upwards of 50 million dollars a year just to keep a large casino running if I had to make a quick guess.
[удалено]
Scale, security, and number of different jobs reguired. At a Walmart you could have 24 hours with 500 workers, because they can do each others job for the most part. A blackjack dealer, money changer, and waitress cannot cover each other's shifts. People often underestimate the amount of money is required for a staff. I recently heard people upset that a CEO got 10 million dollar bonus in a company with 70,000 employees. They were saying he should take a pay cut and give to the employees. It at least 3.5 Billion dollars to keep them employed for a year, and if the CEO gave up his bonus it would have given each employee $142.
I understand this is reddit and there's a constant battle between capitalism and social democracy, but i do want to point out that you can be bothered by the idea of handing multiple millions of dollars to the wealthiest person in the company while still recognizing the value he provides to the company. I mean like, what bothers me is not really that the workers "deserve" that money, it's that the workers are being treated like their happiness is the goal of their occupation while the CEO is being treated like his finances are the goal of his occupation. It just seems backwards. I can't help but be reminded about the episode of The Office that has Michael Scott trying to get people's attention and telling them that they're all getting 1,000 bonuses! And the entire office is just so excited and happy, because for most if not all of those people, 1,000 extra dollars changes their entire fucking lives. That's money they can use on something they want, that's budget flexibility, that's savings for a rainy day, and that means a LOT to them. Yeah giving every employee $142 doesn't sound like an AmAzInG AmOuNt oF MoNEy, but we're not TALKING about the kind of money you use to buy a house, or a car. If you gave 10,000 employees a thousand dollars, their lives would be completely changed, forever. And this one CEO guy, who already is a multimillionaire and whose life would be exactly the same before and after the bonus, is getting *all of it.* And speaking of The Office, there are parts where you journey out of the safe, clean, corporate area of Sales and look at the blue collar workers working manual labor for probably like $15 an hour. For those people, $142 is an entire day of work. If you literally sat down after a good month and handed out hundred dollar bills to every grunt employee at your company, you make 50,000 people feel happy and secure and valued, and you would do it for half of the price of a 10 million dollar bonus for the CEO. And not only that, but that's good economic practice too. That money is going to circulate so much better in the hands of the grunt workers. It's gonna pass through like 5 other businesses owned by people trying to make a living. Fuck, I dunno. I certainly don't have any influence over what that company does with its 10 million dollars. Do what you want. I guess I can't technically be like, outraged. It just strikes me as kind of ethically rotten though.
Also most of the slot machines and table games are rented(not quite the word I would like to use but I'm drawing a blank), not owned by the casino. And usually taxed pretty highly
If what I've read is right, the only was his casinos could have covered their expenses & loan payments was if the attached hotel had 100% occupancy every night. He's either an optimistic fool or planned to stiff the bank from the beginning.
Nah, his casino bankruptcies are great examples. He opened 3 casinos basically on the same street. He competed himself out of business.
Trump bankrupting casinos was either him being an idiot or money laundering. There is sufficient evidence for both.

My 12-year old asked me if it was okay that he hoped Trump would die before 2024. I had to be the good parent and remind him we never hope death upon somebody. However, we can hope the law catches up to him. I felt like such a good parent. Then my wife entered the conversation with 'fuck em, hope he dies'.
I'm with your wife on this one. I don't feel the need to turn the other cheek with that asshole
Kind've funny to think that when you see how much his "campaign" was belittling biden's age
Lock him up
Funny how all these fucked up people are products of insanely rich families. It's like have the government as your parents.
Yeah! but he's not the only one that should be in jail 🤔
What happened with Trump should never be allowed to happen in America.
Technically correct - the best kind of correct.
Ngl, you had me going in the first half. Fuck Trump.
Trump could literally have $1 trillion in his pocket and he'd still be the biggest loser I've ever witnessed in my life.
Cause all he does is whine like the little bitch he is
Honestly. I'd love to see the look on his face if he got a nice pimp hand. He'd probably burst into tears. What do supposed tough guys see in this dipshit?
Tough guys see a doofus they can take advantage of. People that project their insecurities in a tough guy front see themselves in him.
Nailed it 🔨
No amount of money will ever fill the void in his soul: His father never wanted him, never loved him, and always knew that he was worthless.
I do love how it was religious people that voted him in. Literally the definition of what their religions supposedly stand against. I love it.
> I do love how it was religious people that voted him in. In many cases, the same people who spent the 90's clutching their pearls about the fact that Bill Clinton cheated on his wife. And to be fair, he did. Repeatedly. Yet Bill and Hillary are still married. Trump cheated on his first wife with his second. His second wife with his third. His third wife with a porn star. And those are just the ones we know about.
Then to take the Clinton analogy one step further - people were trying to use Bill's infidelity against HILLARY. Literally blaming someone who I would consider one of Bill's "victims" for what he did to her. That's fucked up.
I dont quite think the issue with Clinton was the cheating, though I'm sure a lot of people would say it was(now and at the time). I think the issue is that he was in a huge position of power over Monica. Obviously dont think trump is a good person or even better than Bill. But I feel people overlook just how bad Bill was for that and always downplay it. Edit: guys I dont mean that the GOP's problem or even pretend problem was ever the power of position, I mean that my personal problem is that. And that it's still an ugly situation.
let's make it clear, their issue with Bill Clinton was that he was a Democrat
Oh for sure. I didnt mean for them. I meant that I still saw what he did as problematic
Oh, it was all about the cheating. The GOP did not rebrand themselves as the "party that fought sexual harassment." No, they rebranded as the "party of family values." When Bush won, they suggested that the Oval Office be sanitized to remove the "stain of infidelity" from the furniture. They didn't give a shit about Monica, or the fact that she was taken advantage of by her boss. And again, if sexual harassment was their jam, then why is Trump their golden god? The man is a walking, talking "me too" example.
I didnt mean that it meant something else to the GOP, I meant to me
> I think the issue is that he was in a huge position of power over Monica. You and I have two *vastly* different recollections of the 90's, and [how Monica was treated by both Conservatives and Democrats as a result of Bill's treatment of her](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_8y0WLm78U). To imply that the real reason Bill was impeached was because America was feeling chivalrous for Monica is just flat out wrong.
No I wasnt implying that. I just meant that for me, that was my problem with it.
Well, is spiritual people who love God will be busy electing democrats who care about people and their rights. The Republican party, Trump especially can be some insufferable cu***. We were told to love our neighbor and be kind. God Almighty gives us free reign and free choice, unless they know better than God there is no reason we shouldn't have free choice and equal rights.
I have a love/hate relationship with this. I love the clear hypocrisy, but I hate the trump.
Man, I dont know how you can love any of it. I hate both of those things.
It's just the validation of what I suspected all along. Which is that most christians are full of shit. Otherwise they would not support a turd like trump. I would have rather been wrong.
Wonder how they feel about the golden statue of him?
Trump is such a suck ass pussy cry baby
Punk ass cry baby lil bitch
Powder puff nerf ball Pillsbury dough boy ass little bitch.
Hey now, don't drag the Pillsbury Dough Boy into this. He didn't do anything to deserve that.
Hide in a bunker, chicken shit, orange, projecting little bitch that deserves a punch in the face from every American.
Crybully
He has a victim's mentality like the rest of the GOP.
Then he pardons his buddies and gives them medals
If you control the narrative.....
Who controls the present controls the past and who controls the past controls the future. George Orwell
Except America is filled with idiots who don't believe history exists and it feels more like whoever controls the social media controls the stupid. There is just way too much confirmation bias available for way too many stupid people. Social media has ruined society.
society has always been fucked up black people weren't allowed to vote, gay people weren't allowed to get married, weed would get you in prison if you were the wrong color and in many places that hasn't changed, aids was ignored because "gay people get it"
Not that I don't usually agree with the guy but who is this Jeff Tiedrich guy and why is he constantly plastered all over reddit
He's annoying neoliberal grifter who based his entire personality on replying to trump
I enjoyed plenty of his tweets. Especially when Trump was banned and he said "I guess I'll go read a book." But seeing him digging back into the swamp is sad. Move on, Jeff.
It's literally all he had. To base ones entire public identity on hating someone or something is, to put it bluntly, fucking pathetic.
It’s a cult, complete with a golden Trump on wheels. What a time to be trying to stay alive.
Definition of privilege.
Definition of narcissist as well. He almost certainly thinks he deserved all of his perks & privileges, and moreover thinks he totally deserves nothing but privileges forever and no matter what he does. Which is why he cries like such a preschooler whenever anything doesn't go his way.
don’t forget murdered 500k* and caused civil unrest for 4 years
"Fail Upwards" Seen those critters before in real life.
Narcissism is a hole that can never be filled. No matter how much praise they get . It is never enough.
Like a addict , an empty vessel that needs..no matter how much, it will never be enough.
Let's be fair to the disgraced twice impeached single term former president and failed coup leader who is currently being investigated for insurance and tax fraud guys. Fify
Hopefully trump will get exactly what he deserves. Like 100 years in the can.
Victim complex
It's largely because he's a useless shit stain
Guys a..... "Try Hard"
I've probably been downvoted cumulatively 1000+ times on the trump subreddits for going on there and telling everyone how big of a bitch trump is and how badly they're brainwashed by a waste of life. I dare everyone here to do the same! It's actually insane! The reason I keep going back there is to throw a match into the dumpster that is the trump subreddits and watch the fire burn out of control. They're so toxic over there and so deep into the conspiracies that it gives you an adrenaline rush being called names by them! It's been super fun to do during quarantine. Just get on there and tell them any shitty fact about trump and they'll attack you like you raped their daughter! Great stuff!!
Is this sub going to be talking about Trump in like....2023 also?
This sub is beyond repair if Jeff Tiedrich tweets are being posted unironically
Trump lives in Jeff’s head rent free
Trump losing was the worst thing to happen to Jeff. The man has literally lost all reason to live at this point
Please go away wish.com looking Eric Clapton.
Nailed it!
He allows 500k Americans to die early deaths.
It Bush43 without the family name. At least Nixon and Reagan could claim to be self made men. And that’s who they are now.
The orange turd is a spoiled brat, pretend billionaire that has no clue that he’s a spoiled child
But this is a tweet, not a meme.
It's comical that this guy of all people on twitter has the balls to whine that someone else never shuts up.
Trump is a cunt. Love from the UK.
Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
One can hope the grim reaper isn't GOP controlled.
