If somehow Trump properties can be turned into housing for the homeless. I’m sure he won’t mind.

Immigrants, especially immigrants from Central and South America. That will cause maximum ketchup throwing.

And soon, he will have to pay off on his debts to society which will place him below Taylor Swift in wealth. He won’t like that.

Taylor is worth a lot more than trump is, he has most of his tied into real estate, she has hers mostly in the bank. Her last tour before this one made her $6 billion, she had another tour before that one, and is on tour now.

Taylor also owns homes all over the country.

Yeah, but are hers all mortgaged for 5000% of their value with Russian mobsters? I think NOT!

It's likely that the life-long shyster is already below Taylor Swift in wealth. Like his non-stop grifts such as those hideous tennis shoes aren't going to cover the over $500 million he owes. Hell, if it was ever needed, Taylor Swift could probably come up with that kind of money in no time flat without all of the BS.

Trump currently owes $500 million, not $500 billion.

Haha. Yup i saw that and 🤔 huh? I WISH!! Damn. You seen the go fund me raising $ for him? They’ve amassed over $400 K so far. Go fund me refuses to halt payments in spite of all the protesting . SUPPOSEDLY it doesn’t violate terms of service. Actually $500 Billion MIGHT match all the rip offs he’s done against EVERYBODY. 😆

The Founders knew precisely the danger of someone like Trump. From the Washington Post:

When they drafted the Constitution, the Founders’ greatest fear was that a populist demagogue would flatter the mob, subvert American democracy and establish authoritarian rule. “The only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion,” Alexander Hamilton wrote to George Washington in 1792. “When a man unprincipled in private life[,] desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper … is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity … It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may ‘ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.’”

Thomas Jefferson agreed with Hamilton about very little, except for the danger of populist demagogues. After he read a draft of the Constitution, his main concern was that an unscrupulous candidate in the distant future might lose an election and refuse to leave office. “If once elected, and at a second or third election outvoted by one or two votes, he will pretend false votes, foul play, hold possession of the reins of government, be supported by the States voting for him,” Jefferson wrote to James Madison in 1787.

The Fathers drew inspiration for the Constitution from Locke (Rule of Law) and Montesquieu (Balance of Powers). Both were cear eyed observers of human nature. They had unscrupulous frauds and Con Men in their times, as well.

The Federalist Papers are a fascinating read for several reasons, one of which is the depth of historical background the Founders brought to the design of the Constitution.

Expand full comment

Its as if Hamilton and Jefferson knew Donald Trump and warned America about the danger he presented to the world. I've often thought that there are some people among us who have been chosen by God to help mankind. Despite their flaws the Founding Fathers and in this situation with Trump, Hamilton and Jefferson were two of those chosen ones i believe. Perhaps we need to invoke their spirits to watch over and protect our country from Trump.

They're all indeed rolling over in the graves- not that there was doubt considering their days of detailed and passionate discourse in Philadelphia trying to bring forth a government of, by, and for the people. Yes, they wore cultural blinders, but they were thinking men and truly did stake their sacred fortunes on this democratic experiment. Unlike Donald who suffers only the legal consequences of *his own actions* imagine that...

Agent Orange's only hope is that Putin or MBS bails him out. But then again, he doesn't believe that he will ever actually have to pay anything, he never has in the past.

I fear that Donny still has some classified documents he’s willing to sell to the highest bidder. Putin and Kim Jung Un would happily pay Donny’s debts for the privilege of knowing who and where American spies are. Judge Engoron should have added a 24/7 tap on Donny’s phone and a 24/7 babysitter to oversee everything he does, everyone he meets and who he calls. We know Jared Kushner got $2 billion from the Saudis yet don’t know the quid pro quo. That kind of money is a drop in the hat for the authoritarian killers.

Conald asked the court for a 30 day stay to delay putting up the required cash bond so he can appeal the court's decision. I hope Judge Engron tells The Conald to go fish & that he isn't entitled to favor in the court of law that he has abused & verbally assaulted his entire adult life & much worse since 2020. It's way past time he be held responsible & accountable for his decades of business financial books cooking fraud to illegally enrich himself. If that includes seizing 40 Wall Street & other buildings if he cant pay up the judgement in cash so be it.

I'm waiting for Christian Louboutin to sue Conald for the red soled tennis shoes. 2012 court said Louboutin owned the trademarked red sole shoes with any colors other than red upper. Other companies can have red soles only if the upper is also red. They regularly sue people who violate their trademark. Stand by!
