He doesn't screw over the Epstein class, and that's all that really matters

This is one thing I never understood… how does he keep getting away with it? Repeatedly screwing people over and over and over and over again and somehow no one doing shit about it?

All his fans and supporters believe that he only screws over their common enemies. In fact, they love that he does that. They falsely believe that he would never screw over them. He will never eat their faces. They think they're the in group with Trump.

The american legal system is catered to one principal:

if you owe your bank $10 that's your problem, if you owe your bank $10 billion dollars, that is your banks' problem.

This is why salespeople and scammers flourish in america: get enough loans and debt and you can uno reverse any monetary problem here but often rich people and bullshit artists are the only ones who have enough collateral to get that kind of debt.

The courts are designed to take a lifetime to figure that kind of stuff out - it keeps going as long as you have money. This is why republicans are obsessed with the estate tax: if you pass it on to your kids before the scam gets sorted out, all the ill gotten gains are laundered. Your kids are set for life and all the people you conned foot the bill.

Same way I stuck with my wife for 20 years despite her being a rotten person - I kept hoping it would get better, and she'd string me along with promises... Then she cheated on me with our son's best friend's dad, that finally made it easy to leave, and once I left, hindsight made all the previous mistreatment so much more obvious...

My understanding is the not paying people is “legit” in that the remedy is the courts but his lawyers are good at making it too costly to pursue. If they believe they weren’t paid, they should sue: notice there are few judgements against him like that.

It’s just like all his shell companies. During the first reign of terror, there were articles that they found over 500 companies with payments going back and forth so the web was impossible to decipher and there were always Trump owned companies with huge losses/writeoffs. I don’t remember them actually finding anything illegal but it sure smells like it. He even bragged it was so complex that the irs didn’t have enough auditors to dig through that for tax fraud. It was almost a dare. What happened to that?

The Russian agents keeping tabs on their useful idiot must have protected him.

What if in our world of infinite universal timeline probabilities, this is the timeline where Trump always gets what he wants?

To think there's a potentiality where he always loses and we missed it by this much.

yea he did trash all those science fundings for a reason and part of it is to pay his own policing force aka ICE

ICE had a signup bonus (dunno how much, $4000, I think?), and nobody received it yet.

The guy who is 'famous for not paying' is Trump, who has a history of being in debt/not paying his debts off.

No doubt that some of them are doing it for the love of the game. 🫤
