POTUS 45.65: I'm Just Here For The Lincoln Project Ads

[Handyman]

I don't know how accurate this is but it's so much fun I am accepting it all as gospel truth.

The only thing I don't get is why would anybody legitimate ever do business with him? It's a pain, if anything goes wrong he'll sue you, you probably will never get paid. I get that recently he was just laundering money for oligarchs but before that actual banks, who are supposed to know things, lent him money. WHY?

Here Is The Times Article About Chicago

Same scam he has been running since the 1980s. He took the average NY Housing Swindle and adapted it to all business.

As to why banks do business with him...his name has cache. Everyone knows he is a fraud but if he puts his name on it the gullible will bite so the carnivores can eat. You ever watch a Great White Shark attack? He is the shark and they are the remoras that swim next to the shark and pick off whatever is floating away from the shark's mouth. They are playing the same game, using his faux fame to pump up their business. The ancillary benefits probably offset the cost...

Also, in the case of DB...it was full on money laundering. Hell by the time the Chicago deal went through they knew how it was going to play out and tried to take precautions but failed. Then they flat out said he gets no more money, only to have Kushner's banker at DB float another loan. (said banker is in all sorts of legal trouble IIRC) Kushner got one DB department to give Trump money to pay off the other DB department...and I still think he is going to default. He would have already but got the loan dates shifted when he sued.

The more I think about it, the more it looks like all of his schemes together are just universes in his Multiverse Pyramid Scheme. Each scheme pays off another, each level up has different schemers getting different returns and being swindled a different way and at the top is El Hefty, smiling while ****ting his pants.

Yes, antifa is really the problem

It's more like a check kiting scheme, and it's so big whenever it reaches an apparent death sentence the banks are on the hook for so much they refuse to let it collapse.

What I'm reading is that corporate fraud gives the banks cause to call their loans, seize assets used as collatoral, and sell them off to recoup their losses.

The Trump Org. is ****ed if that happens.

New reporting says Trump is still "obsessed" with the idea that he can be "reinstated" to the presidency. That's bonkers, but it's not irrelevant.

According to this adviser, Trump is holding out hope that if the Arizona "audit"/fishing expedition ends up in his favor, a few other states will follow suit, triggering some sort of legal process that would make him president. He's even questioned the merits of the Constitution, if it can't be used to investigate election fraud.

Now I only stayed at a Holiday Inn last night but I think what is going to screw him over (if they get him) is the entanglement of his personal and organizational finances. There is no way he didn't screw that up because he doesn't have the attention to detail and he won't pay what it costs for others to do it right either. He believes it is a smarter investment to throw your money at suing those that go after you for twice the price (because of the publicity) than to do it right because doing it right means he doesn't get everything he wants.

Now the interesting thing is Deutsche turned over Trumps financials to the prosecutors last year. Deutsche is going to do everything they can to avoid the coming prison rape over money laundering and their shady *** deals with Kushner and Trump are at the forefront of all that.

There is no way that the guy who so clearly and ham-handedly violated campaign finance laws with his 11th hour hush money payment to a pornstar doesn't have major question marks throughout in his financial records. But if they couldn't get him back in the 90s during the first bankruptcy that he spent years wheeling and dealing and begging his way out of, I just don't think they're going to get him now.

[rufus]

I'm trying to remember the details of the article I read about his Atlantic City casino.

Basically, he bought the casino, overpaid of course, used the Trump name to bring in a lot of investors to front money in return for a stake, basically removed himself from any actual ownership financial liability, instead having it all fall on them, while he got paid lavishly to 'manage' it, leveraged the crap out of it and poured that money into other facets of the Trump Org., then declared bankruptcy and walked off scot free, leaving everyone else on the hook for the business's liabilities.

Ahh, here's the article.

Could the banks (or anyone else) get their hands on Mar-a-Lago?

[rufus]

I would assume it depends on whether its been used as collateral for a loan, or he still owes the bank money on it.

He cooperated to be able to walk away...allegedly.

[Handyman]

Normally he would built his way to keeping the banks from taking his property but he has ****ed off the wrong people this time.

If he had never been President he would never be in trouble. He openly flouted the rules, burned bridges all over the world and dared them to get him while laughing at what he pulled off. Even his allies won't like that because they know he will burn them.

Scooby,

Supposedly his ranting about being reinstated is why Nazi Barbie and her Beard are distancing themselves. Any future they have can't be tied to this type of lunacy.

Not that news.

I want the Poors to have equality.

I don't want to ever see one.

Hmmm. Equal but Separate. I wonder if anyone else has considered this idea?

I am sure he had to booby trap his house to stop the Meth Zombie Horde!!

Good lord the judges who allow terrorists out on bail should be held accountable when stuff like this happens.

Oh and he is not back in custody...his bail revocation hearing isnt until August.

So Trump had a rally and Meidastouch had a plane fly over with a sign saying "Loserpalooza" which has been trending all night on Twitter :^)

Trumps new social media app got hacked almost right after it launched...so much porn!
