i almost feel bad for these guys.. but i dont. its common knowledge that no good comes from going into business with trump
Yeah, I feel nothing for these people. They knew he was a snake when they took him in.
Each one of Trump's business partners thinks "I'm not gonna get screwed by this guy!" and in the end each one of them does.
Surely the 40+ years of people saying he's a con man narcisist are surely wrong.

-my parents, who give zero fucks about all the counterexamples given to this idiocy
You'd think after walking past hundreds of guys with knife stabs in their back they wouldn't enter a business deal with the dimwit waving a bloody dagger around.
Took him in? They pitched the idea. They deserve what they get.
there are always the people in every horror movie who think that if they deliver their friends into the open drooling maw of the monster stalking them, they'll get a reward.
the "reward" is usually at least as bad as their friends' fate. it's just narcissism really. they think they're more like the enemy than they are like their friends, so it would be natural to spare them. but they're all just meat to the monster.
trump is just a shitty xenomorph. small hands instead of small mouth, and substantially less physically threatening. I think they both probably have the acid blood though.
My thoughts on the matter.
In fact, they specifically targeted that demographic. They put their face inside a starving leopards mouth
I don't feel bad in the slightest. Everyone knows Donald is a sociopathic grifter. These guys wanted to run a con with him and got burned. I hope their lives are full of misery.
Pretty much. What do you expect?
Except me. Right? He totally promised to make me president of Puerto Rico.
Because I'm one of the good ones.
I'm the exception.
Right?
I'm sorry but your check didn't clear.
President of Puerto Rico I'd the potus isn't it? Puerto Rico I'd a us owned territory. Or was that the joke?
It was in reference to the fact that Trump, while president, says he "met with the "President of the Virgin Islands"
Which, despite his press room's spin, we all know he completely didn't know that he was the president of the Virgin Islands.
