A story about a pathetic man's downfall

This.  Vornado tried selling the properties they jointly own with him and there weren't any takers for the price they wanted.  What few commercial holdings he has left are underwater and probably significantly.  

The irony is those Vornado properties are among his only source of steady income, but because of a previous bankruptcy settlement that forced him into a minority ownership positions, the guaranteed income makes them undesirable assets, both financially and perception wise, to future prospective majority owners.

According to Bloomberg, his net worth is $2.4b.  https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2021-donald-trump-net-worth-business/

But he's cash poor, for a billionaire.  His reputation and therefor ability to get new loans is going to make things really, really interesting.   I mean, he'll always live in obnoxious luxury but his empire looks to be on the ropes. 

It is an Emperor has no clothes empire. There's nothing there. Much like his bluster and bravado there is nothing behind that of value. Everything on that list is currently on the going down the tubes side of things and the valuations placed on everything listed there is speculative at best. If we saw the totality of what his actual debts are I am certain that we would see someone whose total debts are a 10 figure number. 

This was probably the funniest part of that link. We all know the death cult will buy anything so when the coloring book that will be his memoir is released it will, in fact, be the most profitable coloring book ever. The proceeds of the book will go directly to his loan defaults.

“Could Be Huge”

Trump’s most anticipated and potentially lucrative book, his post-presidential memoir, is still ahead of him. Barack and Michelle Obama reportedly got about $65 million for their memoirs, and Bill Clinton raked in a $15 million advance for his 2004 book. Trump’s prospects for a bigtime tell-all seemed to dim in January, when Simon & Schuster canceled plans to publish a book by Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, citing the Republican’s effort to overturn the election. Even so, Trump’s followers remain poised to turn his account of his presidency into a bestseller.

I'm impressed. This is some strong grifting - I figured he would have done an open platform and lined up pillow and gold coin advertisers, but this makes me more sense.

Shame Trump is going to discover that people can easily repost his videos and statements on other platforms.

I mean, I see no reason at all that this timeline shouldn't include people paying to see Donald Trump stick sharpies up his butt.  No reason at all.  It makes sense, and it's what we deserve.

And none of the above! 

I just can’t resist. Sort of cross-posting from the debut albums thread. The best band most of you probably never heard of before. Cincinnati’s own and psychedelic pop at its finest.

I believe this pic was already posted, but I have to bump it because the bad news is that the comment is spot on, but the good news is that for this week, Trump is not the President.

Interesting that the creator of the image put tanks in front of the Capitol when it was the human depicted in the statue that had to be reminded that the military should not be involved in an  election/coup.

The saggy diaper was spot on but the gorilla body missed the mark. Gorillas are much more intelligent.

But gorilla's have the smallest penis (1.25 inches) and testes among all male apes, so the genital size is a match.

There are people who voted for this dunce. On purpose. That is a crazier fact than the existence of the platypus.

Agreed, but they did vote for him whom I call The Enemy of Enlightenment.  And so it has come to pass that those of us who desire to reverse the idiocracy trend must, repeat MUST diagnose why 73 million voted for TEOE and show them the light.

I wonder how much more he'd be worth if he had just invested the money his dad gave him in the stock market and never worked a day in his life.

 Seems like they only thing he's actually made any money at is being a reality TV star and being President of the United States.

If he actually followed the rules, he wouldn't have made money at being President, either. Lucky thing for him, nobody enforces those rules anymore (if they ever actually did -- nobody has tested the limits of campaign finance regulations like 45, though).

And somewhere, there’s a biologist whose job is to measure gorilla dicks. Cool, cool.

Specifically, that would be a zoologist (studying animals), a subset of biology. Elton John and Tim Rice knew what they were doing when they penned the music and lyrics respectively for The Circle of Life because "Til we find our place on the path unwinding, in the circle-the circle of life" pretty well sums up where this is heading...

@Lobo and I have discussed it in a few other threads but Donald Trump is not a billionaire.  Almost every billionaire has a combination of a foundation, family office, names on buildings, jets, yachts, sports teams, etc.  Trump has none of those.  He has debts that are equal to or greater than his assets and those debts are short term liabilities.  

At this point, he's stuck in Florida because he can't afford to fix his plane.  Billionaire, indeed.

I figured out the Trump billionaire thing and why he has absolutely none of the hallmarks of a real billionaire.  You see, he's such a game-changer that he doesn't have the typical billionaire trappings.  He doesn't go in for the trends, he's a true outside, a maverick if you will. 

Every billionaire gives money to an alma mater to get a building named after them, every billionaire owns at least part of a jet, every billionaire owns a boat if not a massive yacht, every billionaire has a charitable foundation or at least has bought into donor consortium, every billionaire has an SFO or at least an MFO, and most billionaires own at least a small slice of a professional sports franchise somewhere in the world.  The reason Trump doesn't do any of those things is he doesn't want to be like other billionaires, he makes his own way.  He makes his own rules.  That's why he was such a great president.  

He's such a difference maker, in fact, he decided not to add to his billions by bankrupting a few casinos.  To give other folks a shot at the American dream, he decided to lose money in Manhattan real estate instead of lapping them in net worth.  The list goes on and on.

Counterpoint, I’d say he lost money as president too since his covid response turbofucked travel and his properties.

It's got to be the narcissist in him, right? I mean Zuckerberg has issues, but he stays one step ahead. Trump doesn't seem capable of not doubling down until the water is over his nose and then he flails around looking for both the life vest coming from the boat and the waiting bus on the shore under which to throw the unlucky sod he's going to blame.

More specifically, that would be a mammalogist, a subset of zoology; more more specifically, a primatologist, a subset of mammology.

Take the mammalogy talk to the NSFW forum. Now are we talking about real or fake mammalogy?

Medina Spirit was supposed to be a role model to our kids!  Someone who they could look up to and who could teach them that, if you just work hard, stay in school, and if you are a member of a master race created by eugenics and forced breeding, then you could also win the Kentucky Derby someday, make gamblers a bunch of money, and live out your days having your way with a stud harem.   But noooooooo ... instead they had to make this into something unseemly.  Damn country is going to hell in a handbasket.

Somewhere, SJP and Laura Ingraham shed a tear.

"That's right, he, a lowlife that I didn't know, was anonymous."  

Look at the punctuation.  Never mind the syntax.  Imagine turning that sentence in to your fourth grade composition teacher.  Imagine trying to diagram that sentence for that class.  And this man wanted to build a massive wall because too many people that didn't speak English good were trying to come to our country to work and learn.  

Now imagine getting to tell your teacher, "Well, that's how the President writes...so I should get an A."  And her having to explain to your parents why the principal let her and the other teachers beat the shit out of you after school.

I have been looking at quotes from Presidents recently.  Specifically the 10 shittiest President's according to US News and World Reports.  And fuck me if Donald Trump and his neo-Republican party doesn't make them look like the greatest collection of democratic statesmen and philosophers to have ever lived.

10. Benjamin Harrison:  "When and under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot? When is he in fact to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law?"

9. Chester A. Arthur: "The health of the people is of supreme importance. All measures looking to their protection against the spread of contagious diseases and to the increase of our sanitary knowledge for such purposes deserve attention of Congress."

8.  Herbert Hoover: "One civilization after another has been wrecked upon the attempt to secure sufficient leadership from a single group or class."

7. John Tyler: "Patronage is the sword and cannon by which war may be made on the liberty of the human race."

6. Millard Fillmore: "I am tolerant of all creeds. Yet if any sect suffered itself to be used for political objects I would meet it by political opposition. In my view church and state should be separate, not only in form, but fact. Religion and politics should not be mingled."

5. William Henry Harrison: "There is nothing more corrupting, nothing more destructive of the noblest and finest feelings of our nature, than the exercise of unlimited power."

4. Warren G. Harding: "There is something inherently wrong, something out of accord with the ideals of representative democracy, when one portion of our citizenship turns its activities to private gain amid defensive war while another is fighting, sacrificing, or dying for national preservation."

3. Franklin Pierce: "In expressing briefly my views upon an important subject which has recently agitated the nation..., I fervently hope that the question is at rest and that no sectional or ambitious or fanatical excitement may again threaten the durability of our institutions."

2. Andrew Johnson: "Legislation can neither be wise nor just which seeks the welfare of a single interest at the expense and to the injury of many and varied interests."

1. James Buchanan: "The ballot box is the surest arbiter of disputes among free men."
