      Business is tough. Companies don’t all make it. There’s no shame in that.

      It’s not like he bankrupted a fucking CASINO or something like that.

            Yup. Casinos may as well be money printing machines. It’s essentially a mint. It just produces money after more money. How the fuck do you bankrupt THREE casinos. Holy shit.

              Here’s my take.

              Trump was in bed with the Mafia since dad gave him that small $1 million loan to get started.

              But the real top bosses took one look at Donnie and fobbed him off on the second stringers. The top guys get the money, and the mooks hold Donnie’s hand and show him where to sign.

              So, Donnie learned from really dumb crooks. A smart crook would have kept all three casinos going, made legitimate profits and done ten times as much business laundering money.

              Donnie thought he was a genius doing a bust out* that made him less money, but looked cool.

              *Bust out. A legitimate business gets taken over by the mob. Starts ordering all kinds of high end merchandise. Don’t pay for anything and sell the stuff cheap to other crooks. Eventually the legit business goes bankrupt, but the crew doesn’t care.

                Money laundering does seem likely. It is diaper Donnie after all

                  Not just likely. The business was fined for undeclared foreign funds. This got mostly ignored as it was in the process of going under.

      The thing about his bankruptcies is HE still got paid. So they don’t make any difference to him.

      Just like he doesn’t care what happens to this country as long as he gets what he wants.

        He and his buddies are definitely getting rich off insider trading, on top of the bribes. You can bet on the economy going down, too, and it’s easier to induce when you’re the government.

        You’re definitely right. He’s enriching himself (and, by extension, his billionaire buddies, though the only goal is enriching himself because he’s a self centred pos) and that’s all he cares about. America? Meh. World politics? Meh. More money for him? “SIGN ME UP!”

      USA! USA! USA! We did it everybody! Once again, victory comes as easy as a homemade, baked-from-scratch, double-crust, lattice top apple pie made by the housekeeper I hired illegally and continue to pay slave wages to by threatening to report them for deportation. What, I’m contributing to the local tax base because they pay sales tax on the stuff they buy, you should be thanking me!
