Breaking News: Trump officially a loser!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't he also have most of his assets seized if he declared bankruptcy?

I don't understand how somebody could be bankrupt, yet still be allowed to own all those gaudy buildings?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Don’t worry. After Monday, he probably won’t own them anymore.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Hasn't that shark kind of jumped already?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Is there a limit on how many times one can declare bankruptcy?

Surely he has hit it by now.

All t hat winning must get exhausting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I declare BANKRUPTCY!!!!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't know why he would be worried about bankruptcy making him look bad. It's never bothered him before........

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Only his businesses have declared bankruptcy before. He’s never declared personal bankruptcy. If you declares his personal bankruptcy, his whole empire could come crumbling down.

This dude will unlock all xbox/steam/Playstation achievements in one go.

Most bankrupted businessman Most charged ex president in history Most impeached president in history Told most lies in one presidential term (in history)

And the list goes on and on and on.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Most anti-american president in history.

I don't understand how he has supporters when he constantly goes on about how great Russia is. Aren't you guys supposed to be mortal enemies or something.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Nah, Russia is white and Christian.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

I think that ship has sailed

News flash: He's a loser

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What? No way. Trump supports would just say Trump is smart for going bankrupt.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Don't all winners declare bankruptcy at the height of their winning?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

It is to game the corrupt system man

He’d apparently rather have his assets seized by the New York attorney general.

He can use the footage of the sheriffs locking up his properties during the seizures to fund raise. It doesn't hit the same if he declares bankruptcy for the 7th time in his life.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He can use the footage of the sheriffs locking up his properties during the seizures to fund raise

He's going to squeeze those rubes dry eventually.

His campaign fundraising is already falling behind Biden's.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The problem is I think they have been bled dry. They had some savings and assets, but the last few years they have been cashing them in to go to rally's and donate to Trump, expecting to get it back 10x return.

It's gonna be ugly when reality hits them, and that's why this is going to be so dangerous and most likely turn violent. Hopefully the violence can be contained , but many of his supporters simply won't accept reality that he is unpopular outside of their make believe world.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

and most likely turn violent. Hopefully the violence can be contained

I'm hoping that seeing so many of the Jan6 useful idiots in jail might help mitigate that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Wait would it work that way? These are open businesses, no? I would have assumed they would allow continuity of operations as the assets are sold.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He should leave some pond cake out. Maybe he can make a hit music video with the camera footage.

AfroMan got his house raided on some BS kidnaping warrant and the police are his pound cake. He made bank using the CCT footage in a few music videos

I'm sure he will live in a nice flat paid for by putin. The Russians might even get him some golden sneakers he can keep campaigning in.

It would be such a beautiful sight if he'd finally trip over his own ego.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Wouldn’t it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

I can't imagine that bankruptcy would dissolve his public judgements anyway.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Yes ... THAT'S what would make him look like a loser...
