Trump Has Reportedly Been Crashing Mar-a-Lago Memorial Services Because Of Course He Has
Not surprisingly, he apparently also overstays his welcome.

What is Donald Trump up to these days? Oh, not much, just reportedly telling people hes going to be president again by August, crashing weddings, and according to a new report from Bloomberg BusinessWeek, dropping in on memorial services and having a weirdly good time for an event honoring a dead person:
Yes, its strange and morbid and the odds are high hes offended at least a few people in mourning. (People loved Jack though they couldnt have loved his as much as me, your favorite president, hes no doubt said as the deceaseds widow sobs. Heard he was a great guy though I never met him so I cant say, but people said it. Would have been really broken up about what Democrats did to me Im sure. Bet he wishes he was here to see me speaking at his funeral. Lot of nice looking ladies here thats for sure, wonder why I wasnt invited to any family functions before this, will have to look into that.) Still, the dead are probably less annoyed by his uninvited presence than, say, a bride whose wedding has been hijacked by the incoherent rambling of a man who thinks its normal to commemorate someones nuptials with a speech that includes the lines, Yknow, I just got, I turned off the news, I get all these flash reports, and theyre telling me about the border, theyre telling me about China, theyre telling me about Iranhowre we doing with Iran, howdya like that. Boy, they were ready to make a deal, they woulda done anything, they woulda done anything, and this guy goes and drops the sanctions and then he says, Wed love to negotiate now, [and Iran says], Were not dealing with the United States at all, oh, well, they dont want to deal with us. Which, yes, is a thing that actually happened.
On the other hand, whatever keeps his mind off of trying for another coup is arguably a good thing, though when he crashes his first bris and tries to do the mohels job, someone should probably say something.

Trump, the billion-dollar loser I was his ghostwriter and saw it happen

EXCERPT...
I tend to see my time with him the first part of it, anyway, before things started going bad in a hurry as his King Midas period. I never said this to him; if I had, he probably would have thought I was suggesting he enter the muffler business. But there was a stretch of months when everything he touched turned into a deal. The banks seemed to accept the version of him depicted in his first book, The Art of the Deal, which we now know from his previous ghostwriter, Tony Schwartz, was entirely invented. They believed it over what they saw on his balance sheets or heard coming out of his mouth, and they never said no to his requests for more money. Often they came up with things he could say yes to before he could think of them himself. As a result, a failing real estate developer who had little idea of what he was doing and less interest in doing it once hed held the all-important press conference wound up owning three New Jersey hotel-casinos, the Plaza Hotel, the Eastern Airlines Shuttle and a 281-foot yacht.
A real go-getter, right? But Trumps portfolio did not jibe with what I saw each day which to a surprisingly large extent was him looking at fabric swatches. Indeed, flipping through fabric swatches seemed at times to be his main occupation. Some days he would do it for hours, then take me in what he always called his French military helicopter to Atlantic City where he looked at more fabric swatches or sometimes small samples of wood paneling. It was true that the carpets and drapes at his properties needed to be refreshed frequently, and the seats on the renamed Trump Shuttle required occasional reupholstering. But the main thing about fabric swatches was that they were within his comfort zone whereas, for example, the management of hotels and airlines clearly wasnt. One of his aides once told me that every room at the Plaza could be filled at the rack rate (list price) every night, and the revenue still wouldnt cover the monthly payment of the loan hed taken out to buy the place. In other words, hed made a ridiculous deal. Neither he nor the banks had done the math beforehand. Or perhaps Trump knew it because someone had told him, but didnt want to think about it. The one thing he is above-average at is compartmentalization.

(63,221 posts)How has this pathetic loser kept up the facade of being a brilliant, savvy businessman for so long when precisely the opposite was true.
I could see it if he was really intelligent and sophisticated, but this idiot is such a complete zero I am amazed that he has been able to pull it off for as long as he has and all the while dodging the law.

"The hashtag #TrumpEulogies was trending on Twitter on Thursday after George Conway, a vocal critic of the president and Kellyanne Conway's husband, brought up a time when Trump praised himself at his own father's funeral, among other instances.
"On June 29th, 1999, Trump gave a eulogy at his father's funeral .... [Trump] used the time to talk about his own accomplishments and to make it clear that, in his mind, his father's best achievement was producing him, Donald," tweeted Conway, quoting from a 2017 Rolling Stone story and adding #TrumpEulogies."...(more)
