Doesn't sound bad for trump. Casino went into the ground but he himself reaped all the benefits. This time, let the US reap the benefits while countries like Mexico go broke while paying for that wall amirite? THINK ABOUT IT!!1

So your takeaway from this is that he's somehow going to bleed Mexico (a country he wouldn't have control over) dry for the good of America, instead of the far more obvious parallel that he's likely to bleed America dry for his own good?

You're probably not describing a crazy enough scenario for actual trump supporters. Need to throw in a Don't Tread On Me somehow.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Trump lives by the philosophy "all for me and nothing for anyone else."

 

[DeathyBoy]

Mexico already said dozens of times they aren't paying for jack. Try again.

Why would they pay for Jack? Jack can pay his own way Goddamnit

 

[Ithil]

I'm interested to see how much of this stuff being dug up and put in the public eye is going to linger for him after his loss in November. That whole campaign may backfire on his business.

 

[nature boy]

No wonder Ivanka and her husband are quiet.

Jack Shit—of the Connecticut Shits—is very well off. He doesn't need Mexico to pay for him.

 

[Frozenprince]

The man is basically worth nothing himself.

His entire fortune is in assets he can't liquidate without significant issue.

He's a bad businessman who get lucky to have a rich family that bouyed him and struck gold during the housing boom.

 

[Gorillaz]

I grew up in atlantic city so there was always talk about his 3 properties in the city

all 3 of them he pretty much had to get rid of YEARS ago but hey kept the name. I remember people being shocked over how he ran them and how he pretty much filed for bankruptcy

 

[Frozenprince]

Would be hilarious if he only has barely a billion. He always goes on about he has 10 billion.

Lets see those Tax returns then. What a liar.

I honestly don't even think he has that.

He's got his name, which is his brand, but in terms of actual liquidity in his assets? I don't think he's got anywhere close to a Billion.

 

[Amalthea]

Yet he presented himself as the anti-establishment candidate when it was always clear that he is the worst kind of tumor that gets created by the upper-classes. Rich kids who maintain their inherited status and whealth by practically becoming con-artists.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

But if you work hard you'll get rich!

Also don't forget this is the man that led to the bankruptcy of the USFL. The USFL was thriving by not competing with the NFL and college football, but he insisted on them moving from spring to fall. Watch the 30 for 30 on this b/c it brings a lot to light. I for one had no idea the USFL was getting so successful before he came in and bullied his way into getting what he wanted.

 

[Jacksinthe]

You guys are too hard on him.

So he made a few mishaps along the way. Who doesn't?

He's not running to be president if Casinoville, he's running to be president of the United States.

Totally different. That I can tell you!

Spoiler

[BladeoftheImmortal]

The system at work, folks.

 

[Dan]

I can't wait to see his actual tax returns.

A lot of folks thought he was hiding them because he pays very little tax.

He's hiding them because it will expose his net worth as a tenth of what he claims. And his net worth is directly connected to his self worth. he can't extricate the two.

They'll also undoubtedly demonstrate that his charitable contributions aren't as he's claimed.

 

[Wilsongt]

did the Republican party vet this guy?

The GOp doesn't care about common folk. Just look at Kansas and any other state currently in financial dire straits and run by Republicans.

Trump won largly on having diarreah of the mouth and saying what everyone else was afraid to say as well as running on racism and xenophobia.

 

[jmood88]

I have no idea why people continue to give him money. A lot of this stuff wasn't secret and it seems like investors just threw money at him without even bothering to do any kind of research into his practices.

A couple days ago Mark Cuban said he estimates that trump has something like $160 million. Still rich as fuck but nowhere close to what he says it is.

 

[TAJ]

Cynically, this is probably a good skill set for running a country.

Nope. The US's prosperity is based in no small part on being seen as stable and reliable.

 

[Rebel Leader]

I honestly don't even think he has that.

He's got his name, which is his brand, but in terms of actual liquidity in his assets? I don't think he's got anywhere close to a Billion.

And that changes based on his feelings.

 

[Armaros]

Cynically, this is probably a good skill set for running a country.

The bedrock of the US economy, the WORLD'S economy, is that US bonds are one of the most safe and reliable things to invest in.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Man, Trump is going to get destroyed in the general.

 

[KingWool]

Man, Trump is going to get destroyed in the general.

I've been hearing 'Trump will get destroyed' for what seems like a year now yet he keeps moving ahead. I'll never understand it.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

The gap between Clinton and Trump has already started to widen ever since she started her attacks on him last week. I can't imagine how the polling is going to look after this week where he was pretty much eviscerated.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

I wish they'd hold off with these stories until after the convention

 

[Cromwell]

Trump is being attacked by his own party while the Democrats unite and have a candidate they can actually stand behind beyond "at least she's not the other guy", which is exactly what Paul Ryan used as his defense to back a racist.

Trump has no chance in the GE. Whatever unfavorables Hillary might have right now, it doesn't compare, and his numbers aren't going up. He refuses to apologize for anything and this mythical pivot is never coming.

The GOP is trying to distance themselves from him

Yeah, Mark Cuban was like what kind of billionaire is so desperate to sell steak on Sharper Image and put his face on bottled water.

That's right around where I figured he'd be worth. He's a name, he's not a businessman. He reminds me of the guy from that 30 for 30 on the Islanders that tried to buy the team while only being worth like, a couple hundred grand.

Desperate to convince people he's obstinately wealthy.
