Out of the whole shitstorm surrounding orange man rn, this is the one I pin my hopes on to bring him to his knees first. 🤞
It really has the possibility to not only hobble his campaign and his ego, but to also mentally unbalance him even further since he's built his entire personality around being rich. He's almost certainly in a situation where he will end up having to declare bankruptcy
Declare bankruptcy again*
This is different.
Trump's companies have declared corporate bankruptcy, which gave them time to restructure.
But corporate bankruptcy won't work this time, because Trump is personally on the hook. So he would have to declare personal bankruptcy.
And that's a whole different process, where creditors get in line to take your belongings. Alex Jones and Rudy Giuliani are going through it, and Trump definitely does not want to.
The sooner the amphetamines give him that stroke, the better it is for the nation.
Eh, I think it's far better for the nation for him to lose than to die before that happens.
Truth and well said.
Fingers crossed 🤞
I don't drink, but I'll pop champagne on that day.
I would break my 4 years of sobriety to celebrate that.
Congratulations on your sobriety
Thank you, and to be completely honest I wouldn't throw away my sobriety on Trump. I am enjoying life sober to much to go back.
I can't even believe I'm about to say this, but oh well: it would be the more merciful option to the whole planet, including himself. Yes, himself, because behind every bully, narcissist, sociopath, megalomaniac, is a miserable, bigot, supremacist, is a very miserable, frightened little inner child that relives the hell they have built to insulated them from the hell they experienced, and project on the world as punishment for allowing that to happen. That is irrespective of privilege, which the inner child may not have the ability to recognize. Until we, as a world collective do the hard, dirty, bitter work to address conditions that breed despair, irrespective of class, race, gender, or privilege to address that, the cycle will repeat itself. I don't have all the answers, maybe not any. But it's going to take healing ourselves individually, as family units, as communities, nations, and finally, global citizens. We are humans and we will have setbacks and failures. But I think it's possible.
The only way to really hurt rich fucks is to fuck with their money.
This is painful to trump in ways that normies like us simply can’t understand.
So nice of him to set a legal precedent for us to get the rest of these rich assholes.
It has the potential to bankrupt the rnc once he gets lara to give him all that rnc cash
And even this won't save him because rnc doesn't have that kind of money.
But let’s go ahead and let them spend all they have to be safe. :D
Every little helps!
All I can picture is him on the podium telling his followers how smart declaring bankruptcy is. Then seeing a huge wave of Donnie's dumbest fille for bankruptcies across the nation.
Hasn't he already done that? Its not like this would be his first bankruptcy.
Bankruptcies come in 7s
He's very experienced in declaring bankruptcy.
Yeah, he did so ... with a casino.
Arguably the easiest business to turn a profit, since it prays on peoples vices.
Would be hilarious if they confiscated and evicted him from Mar-a-Lago.
This is the only one he cares about. His identity is about to disintegrate.
