I can't even read Hacker News anymore because of that. Random assholes on their can't go two minutes without interjecting "Trump is an idiot" off topic. The guy who made a fuckton of cash, lost it all, then made it all back should be worshipped by the startup community, instead their too fucking dumb to see it.
I like the idea of a third party though because it completely decimates the establishment. The cucks in the GOP will still have access to all of the cash flowing in from constituents. It may take them a long time to uncloak, so the enemy at the gates can do the dirty work in the shadows, unseen, sometimes for years before they are ferreted out. A third party also bleeds many from the Dems too because we could peel off maybe a good 25% of the party. These Dems are not going to join the GOP; it just ain't gonna happen.
Any based GOP members should join a third party if one arises. Starve these bastards like a bad fever.
He didn't file personal bankruptcy, he filed business bankruptcy. Trump points this out whever it comes up. He still had plenty of money when he filed.
He never tied his own assets to the businesses, which is fairly smart, could also mean he had a set salary within the company just the same(a figure that can be easily tracked by financial scrutinizes like the IRS.)
A business can fail for many reasons outside the control of the business.
Anyone that thinks otherwise should ask everyone that lost their business due to Covid, BLM, or changes in government regulation. Could also be internal issues, some moron in the middle screws things up and the top doesn't become aware of it until the business is already falling into a pit it can't get out of.
He didn't inherit his father's business. He ran it for 10 years and then his father loaned him a million bucks and Trump took over Manhatten real estate. A lousy million bucks competing against billionaires. Genious.
Back when I was still watching Fox News on occasion, I caught some of Greg Gutfeld's show and he said he would have a very difficult time watching politics ever again after President Trump is no longer President. I thought about it and realized I felt the same way. Can anyone watch any of these boring stuffed shirts drone on in one of their endless, generic speeches? Can anyone actually sit through another press conference with pre-packaged questions and answers? Can anyone trust any of these pieces of shit to actually stand for what's right and for justice, the law or the Consitution or will we just assume they're all lying?
I could go on, but it's a great point. One of the greatest legacies President Trump has left and can only be equaled by other "Trumpian" candidates is that he has castrated the theater of politics. These people pine to be celebrities and now nobody will watch them for a second. They're never getting that back. Oh, we'll pay attention to what they're doing, but they'll now be relegated to boring names on boring "pieces of paper."
That’s a good point. DC is Hollywood for ugly people and they couldn’t stand Trump was the Hollywood Star who came to DC. Something is very nostalgic about him when the world and everything else was less bothersome.
Very true. I dare any of you to actually try to sit through an entire speech of merkel or macron or newsom or any of the career politicians the bluecheckmarks salivate over. It's agonizing.
Meaningless scripted nonsense, which everybody from the politicans to the audience to the media knows is nothing but hollow lies. It's a farce and a complete waste of time.
Nobody would ever stand in line for days to attend a speech by any of these degenerates. Meanwhile Trump rallies are standing room only.
In part I think this is true because he is a builder of real estate, and not a lawyer or finical derivatives person. He cares about being able to build real value in our country, not selling it to china. He has worked close to actual blue collar works for decades, again unlike lawyers or finical derivatives pushers. He actual understands and cares about the "average" worker, in part because his billions are built by them.
Despite being a billionaire, Trump was the most down-to-earth and realist president we've had in decades.
He earned his money the old-fashioned way. He didnt inherit it like the Kennedys or make it on Wall Street. He identifies with Main Street

Trump ought to start his Patriot Party under the wing of the Republican Party and grow it that way.
He could bring in more working class voters and inner city working stiffs to the party.
Help the Repubs win and when necessary primary RINOs out of existence.
Within 4 years the Patriot Party could then take over the Repubs from within or go it’s own way but by then it would be a force to be reckoned with.
Hijack the GOP and then rename it the Patriotic Republican Party.

Have nothing to do with the GOP. They are poison.

To be strictly accurate - Trump did inherit a business from his dad.
But there is absolutely nothing wrong with that - and he did quite well with the business, that is a fact.
He inherited seeds but built his business himself IMO. Unlike the Kennedys or any other rich cat Dem
He didn't inherit his father's business. He ran it for 10 years and then his father loaned him a million bucks and Trump took over Manhatten real estate. A lousy million bucks competing against billionaires. Genious.
A SMALL loan of $1 million.
Woke scum: "bUT hE GoT a MiLLioN DolLarS!!" REEEE.
Which he turned into billions.
If I give you degenerates $1000, how long would it take you to turn it into $10,000,000?
By inheritance?
and didn't the kennedy fortune come mainly from selling alcohol during prohibition?
Yes. They were bootleggers, not builders like Trump. And I think they still get a tarriff//tax on all imported liquor in MA
Yep
He got a small loan of a million dollars from his father, totally sounds like Main Street to me. Still better than career politicians though
