To hear him tell it, everyone he hired was incompetent. Oh, wait...

Re: trump (the former guy)
Its too bad there isn't someone, anyone, to stop him from making a pathetic fool of himself every time it comes out what a whackjob he was.
This is getting embarrassing.

Re: trump (the former guy)
Unfortunately, not for him. I believe that it is impossible to embarrass him, either in his own mind or in the eyes of his cult followers.
And his cult members believe everything he says.
I truly believe what he said back in 2016; that he could murder someone in public and get away with it. Even if there was video of him doing it, his cultists would insist that it was "fake news".

History, if anyone survives to write it, is not going to be kind to him in general, but his post presidency is going to look especially bad.

Re: trump (the former guy)
I'd settle for massive foreclosures and fire sales on his beloved real estate empire. This would force him to choose between his continued pathetic public appearances and mendacious flummery (in the linguistic sense) or his net worth. While his public persona and ego are fueled by his continued popularity and influence with the far right, I think he is motivated more by $$$$. If his empire starts to crumble, he loses most of his luster with the Rethuglicans, no matter how he tries to spin it.p0rtia wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 1:53 pmFirst choice: DeadSlim Cognito wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 11:21 am I know most people want him to suffer but I just want the bastard to drop dead.

Second choice: In jail till dead.
Third choice: In jail till senile (won't take long).
I'll accept ranked-choice voting if I have to.
Bankers and such don't give a rat's ass about the person. They just want their money back, or as much of it back as possible. And I have a suspicion that mortgage interest rates will be increasing over the next couple years.

His travelling hatefest roadshow will be funded by his PAC for 100 years if he wants it, and that is all money the rubes are sending him. Between that, and the fact that his name is going to provide him any number of ways to get suckers to keep paying him to scam them (Digital World Acquisitions, anyone?) we have to just get used to the guy having plenty of money by our scale, anyhow. He might lose the flashy real estate, hell, he probably will, but he's never going to be poor. For that matter, aside from him being able to spend that PAC money for any number of things as long as he doesn't run for office again, he can also use large chunks of it to put into his private pocket, by hosting fundraisers at his shitty clubs to raise money for his PAC so it can spend money hosting fundraisers at his shitty clubs.

Re: trump (the former guy)
Worked for an organization that produced a magazine for people with disabilities. The publisher was eerily similar to trump. He had some serious issues mentally, and imbibed pharmaceuticals and alcohol? But it was clear that he would never reach "rock bottom" because he had enough enablers and money. He died at 54 from an overdose. There were flitters of realizations for this guy, but in the end, the rock bottom for him was death.Gregg wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 5:48 pmhumblescribe wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 3:05 pmI'd settle for massive foreclosures and fire sales on his beloved real estate empire.

Among the stories former Defense Secretary Mark Esper tells in his new book is that he and chief of staff Mark Meadows got into a lot of screaming matches.
Detailed in A Sacred Oath, Esper recalled work he did with Congress to free up cash for a certain military program that would have negated the need to ask for another appropriation.
Esper introduced the initiative in a speech, leading to a freakout at the White House. They appeared to want to make the announcement so that Trump could take credit for it. It was Oct. 6, 2020, less than a month before election day when some had already even voted.
"Chief of Staff Mark Meadows even got involved," Esper recalled. "Indeed, he and I got into a yelling match not long after I briefed Battle Force 2045 to the public. He had the nerve to ask in a phone call, 'Who are you to make a major announcement about the Navy?'”
Esper shouted back: “I’m the goddamn secretary of defense!”
"There was a brief pause -- I imagined him turning red and eyes watering, as so often happened when he was confrontes -- and then he said, 'Who gave you the authority?'" Esper went on, describing a pouting Meadows.
“The Senate confirmed me, and Congress gave me full authority, direction, and control over the Department of Defense under Title 10 of the law, that’s who," Esper said.
He went on to describe Meadows as a tea party Republican "who seemed committed to two things: getting the president reelected and doing what the president said. It was never clear to me which of those two came first, but there were indications at times that his own personal political ambitions and policy aims factored into both as well."
Re: trump (the former guy)
Tea party republican is the way I always think of Meadows.

Re: trump (the former guy)
Once again, we see how Trump and his sycophants don't understand that the Cabinet secretaries don't work for him, personally, or owe him a personal debt of loyalty. They work for the nation as a whole, not one person.Kendra wrote: ↑Wed May 11, 2022 7:27 pmEsper shouted back: “I’m the goddamn secretary of defense!”

You know, one of his big campaign claims was that, as an executive of a multi-billion dollar company, he would bring his (alleged) business acumen to bear on the Federal Government. One of the big differences between a business, especially one like the Trump Organization and government is that, at the Trump Org., everyone there really did work for him and owed him their obedience. In government, that is not the case.
As CEO of The Trump Organization, Donald J. Trump *WAS* (and still is) The Trump Organization.
As POTUS, Donald J. Trump was not, similarly, the US Government.
Re: trump (the former guy)
I will always think of him as a sobbing baby -remember the hearing where he bitched and moaned about being accused (credibly) of having a person of color as a prop?
and Poor Elijah cummings had to baby talk him off the roof?

Indeed. Please note the name, Paul Lahticks. He's been tweeting photoshops & edited/CGId videos for years, occasionally changing his name, but always a play on "politics." Pauly Ticks, Paul Lee Ticks, Paul Le Ticks. Some of his stuff is obvious, some of it quite convincing.
