I mean let’s be honest, you gotta be some special kind of stupid to give money to somebody who bankrups a casino, let me repeat a CASINO
Multiple casinos.
And he doesn’t even drink. Which calls to mind Hunter S. Thompson:
“It was Bogart who said, ‘You can’t trust a man who doesn’t drink.’ And it was Raoul Duke who said, ‘I’d never buy a used car from Nixon unless he was drunk.’”
It’s literally a free money from dumb people machine that he bankrupted by using it as his personal piggy bank.
Now he’s turned the RNC into a free money from dumb people machine and he’s using it as his personal piggy bank.
During the CASINO BOOM!!! Then as a little footnote, gets bailed out by Wilbur Ross, who becomes secretary of commerce. The coal baron Wilbur Ross.
The slipper guy. Is he dead yet? He fell asleep at his own hearing.
Well Donald doesn’t have half a billion dollars, but you know who does?
Taylor Swift
Maybe he could ask her…wait…,that won’t work…nevermind
I would fucking love if she just came out and said ‘I could afford that. Why can’t you?’
I would love for anyone to say that, especially someone who isn’t famous.
“Yeah of course I have that much, I just asked my dad for a small loan of 500 million dollars” - some rando from Tennessee
She can’t… the y’all-queda would attempt to murder her. :/
O.M.G.
“Trump has built his entire business career on the premise that laws are merely suggestions. The method has generally succeeded. When the government tried to make him allow Black people to live in his father’s apartment buildings, he defied the law and repeated Justice Department efforts to force compliance. He and his father funneled millions of dollars into his pockets illegally via a tax-fraud scheme of shell companies and phony paperwork. He repeatedly and habitually refuses to pay contractors for services rendered. He boasted that he could buy off public officials, a belief that, correct or not, explained his brazen willingness to cheat and steal.”
muah chefs kiss
wish the article would have mentioned Trump being born the scion of a white supremacist new york construction company owner he was brought up in both the kkk and mafia
That Trump, wanna be dictator, of German descent, loves authoritarians, has been reading Mein Kampf, and thinks Hitler “did some good things” would be too much on the fucking nose even for a movie script to add to the list.

you don’t get rich by throwing away money (they’ll never be repaid on that “loan”).
-
They want a winning candidate to give them tax breaks. They don’t care about the other stuff. (Hmmm I wonder what that will mean. Trump is setting it up so that political donations go to him personally. Rich donors will see through that.)
Tax breaks are just one of many things they expect to get, but yeah.

Because businessmen expect ROI. Regardless of how upstanding they may or most definitely not be.
The real question is why does someone who claims to be worth around $6B need a loan at all? It just doesn’t make sense. /s
Serious answer: Because most wealth isn’t liquid and liquation can take a while.
This is an attempt to secure a bond. To secure that bond he needs to put up collateral. His lawyers said banks are asking for collateral around $550 million or something, higher than the value of the bond. I can’t recall off the top of my head the actual value.
His lawyers said he is unable to provide that collateral.
Which means that his assets can’t cover the bond. Unless I’m misunderstanding something.
The threat of prison tends to expedite financial transactions.
Yes, but quickly liquidating assets means less returns. So a loan (even with interest) might make more sense.
So Donnie dipshit has to make a choice;
Go to prison or take a loss on an investment.
If you think this choice is the reason he can’t pay his dues I have a bridge to sell you.
You don’t understand things that the news says and just repeat them like a parrot.
I already love the smartass title of the article. “Upstanding Businessman” lmao
If he actually was an “Upstanding Businessman”, they actually might. Need more reasons why they don’t?
Didn’t his son say they get all the money they need from Russia? His buddy just won re-election over there, maybe he can help him out.
Asked, and answered.
My theory is that Trump is, in fact, a crook.
well it looks like the last horse finally finished the race. congrats! not the sharpest knife in the drawer though.
I don’t understand this comment, even if meant sarcastically.
They’re making light of the fact that only now has the author come to the conclusion that Trump is a crook, something known by most of the world years, if not decades, ago.
I’m tired of living in 2016.
