[quote Cacacoisfarraige]@Roussette

That’s a cheering Twitter thread ![/quote]
It certainly is!!!

If the only thing that results from this is Doofus going bankrupt, I'll be happy. But I'm sure he has $$$$$ socked away overseas or tied up in trusts in his children's names that he'll tap once proceedings are over.

If the financial shit really does start hitting the fan we'll have to start a betting pool on how long it'll take Melania to jump ship. She's probably stashing all her jewels & Birkins to sell to fund her getaway as we speak.

Oh that’s a brilliant thread , hopefully that orange bastard will end up in jail, but I know that’s unlikely

SpindleWhorl · 02/07/2021 01:32

That Twitter thread by Kurt Eichenwald is awesome.

I wonder if the Trump kids 'get it' yet, that trouble has really arrived for them?

Roussette · 02/07/2021 07:02

Yes the Kurt thread is interesting and whilst I cannot pretend to understand even half of it, the theme seems to be... he is in deep sh1t.

As Across says... if he ends up bankrupted, that will be enough for me. Because it's the failure he dreads. I don't think we'll ever see him in prison because of the endless legal fighting he would undertake to prevent that... but oh my, was it good to see Weisselberg handcuffed... Trump's right hand finance man in that position...

As for the Trump kids, Don Jr posted a very 'animated' (you get my drift...) video yesterday in a right old panic quite obviously, bringing up basements and Hunter Biden Shock

I did read that Melania is legally implicated in all of this.. I must investigate that further.

I just saw that clip of Don Jr, Rousette. He really does seem unhinged.

I certainly don't think Melania's innocent in all this either. And Ivanka's in it up to her neck with her 'consultancy' fees of $$$millions per day for other parts of the Trump Org.

To think this crime family was the first family.

Roussette · 02/07/2021 08:04

Both Don Jr and Eric have been on Fox. Desperation with their words.

Cacacois The king of debt indeed.

I love that thread, @Roussette, but I will only believe it when I see it - how many times before now have we said: "He's finished", only to be proven wrong time and again? Bloody Teflon, that man is. (I'm still shaking with horror at the comments on the Newsmax thread about Trump's Ohio rally I accidentally read, "know who your enemy" is a step too far in this case for me!)

Did I not read somewhere that the fragrant Ivanka has been gently distancing herself from her father and his misdeeds? Or did I imagine it?

Looking forward to Reality Shitt's Creek - The Trump Edition. Grin

The "Queen and I" book by Sue Townsend also comes to mind, except that there is no Council Housing in the US, so maybe more like the ending of "Trading Places", as continued in "Coming to America" - except the "...we're back!" part.

Roussette · 02/07/2021 10:27

No, I'd read that too!

I agree on the Teflon, but at least his life can be very very uncomfortable for the rest of it. Fire fighting every legal bid against him, finances dwindling, support fading... almost the best outcome in a way

The trouble is that Trump seems to regard going bankrupt as a simply a way to avoid paying his debts; he's done it before, several times.

The hope is that this time, he may not be able to raise loans to start again.

The fear is that will happen five years or more after he is dead.

"When the former Trump Organization executive Barbara Res saw that the company’s longtime finance boss had turned himself in to face state tax charges, her mind turned to Donald Trump.

“This is it,” Res said. “I think that it’s going to destroy the Trump empire.”

Eric Trump is a Class A idiot. "Other companies have committed worse crimes " and "It wasn't that much money " as if those two things should absolve them from criminal liability. Plus, Hunter Biden.

DuncinToffee · 02/07/2021 15:37

Just read that Kurt Eichenwald thread ShockGrin

I saw that Donny jr video a few days back, I think most comments were about him being high on cocaine.

And yes the 'whataboutery' is strong with this family and co.

Roussette · 02/07/2021 15:43

I wonder if they'll ever drop Hunter Biden's laptop, you know, the guy who served in the Administration...oh hang on...

@Cacacoisfarraige

The thing is Trump Org is being run by his idiot sons - who would give them anything

It would be very hard for Trump to dig himself out of this hole and run for president.
A lot of Trumps appeal was how rich he is, a current bankrupt lacks cache

You know that, and I know that, but does DOOFUS know that?

I don't think anyone will be able to convince him that running is a bad idea. Getting the 2024 nomination is another thing, although he certainly does seem to have the GOP in his back pocket. What DOES he have on McConnell?

I honestly think he's 'teflon-ed' his way through so much shit and he has so many ass-lickers telling him how wonderful/right he is that he can't conceive of ever being 'down for the count'.

Not to mention the many cult members who truly wouldn't care if he 'shot somebody on 5th Avenue'.
