He's a dense ass who talks like a 5th grader, looks ridiculous with his fake tan and combover. He lies remorselessly. Hopelessly corrupt. I'm not sure how a white 58 year old eastern washington Rush listening Fox watching lifelong R , no college degree didn't get sucked in but I'm so proud i didn't. The guy is so bad its flabbergasting that he's got any support, especially now.Its a trance, a fever.Its a cult and most every reputable presidential historian has flatly said it at this point. You refernce ID Hawkman, a green beret, a patriotic american. I wonder how he really feels seeing this right now.
As for Trump's legal issues we will see exactly how much legal help he has, what kind of a deal he can get. I think his financial position is greatly overstated.He reportedly doesn't pay his lawyers and anyone else he can swindle. I think he's been relying on laundered Russian money for years but that just me.Most of his golf properties bleed green bigly but he operates in mostly cash for transactions
I think the actions of this man since this election have fractured his defenders in the republican party at the local and state level so we will see.
If anything protects him it is being a former POTUS . Otherwise I think he's cooked and he knows it which is why at a minimum he's raising money off it and fighting like hell to keep the office and its protections. I hope he winds up in a cell with a big friendly dude named Ramone
I know. You view Trump as some bungling idiot who lucked his way into all his success.
I just don't know the reality of Trump doesn't sink in. He's 74 years old. If his goose were going to be cooked, it would have been ages ago. Trump is a guy that has survived in America's grinder of an economy for 50 plus years. I know so many on here want to dismiss with "reasons" his success, but you don't do what Trump has done for as long as he has done it as some incompetent, dumb, lazy guy. It just doesn't happen no matter how many people want to believe it. Trump does things the Trump way. He's selfish as all get up. He's a narcissist. But he also understands sales, marketing, speaking, and has used his money to surround himself with smart, capable people for much of his career. He knows what he's doing and how to fight in these power circles. He's been doing it for ages when he was taking out full page adds in the New York Papers to attack politicians. He is what he is.
Just be glad when he's finally out of the White House. As far as the rest, chasing Trump legally is like a dog trying to catch its own tail. He's been doing these games for ages. I feel like hoping a 74 year old will finally get his comeuppance after 50 plus years of doing what he does is wishful thinking.
