Know what is killing the defeated former president today?

His 3 very own appointed Supreme Court justices betrayed him. Those 3 justices owe allegiance to him, wouldn't have their jobs were it not for him. (and the Federalist Society)

He is scheming right now how to replace those 3 justices with acting Supreme Court justices.

Bwahahaha.

pretty much everyone really, really hates him and they will only cater to him if they have to. Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life and are not beholding to anyone, not even the president who nominated them. His insults and childish smears won't affect them.

Hes a malignant narcissist a personality type it is who a person is. Drugs dont help it,therapy makes it worse.

It isnt mental illness because mental illness can be treated with therapy,meds etc.

For one simple reason. There’s no evidence he really knows how to make money needing to be laundered.
And, if he was laundering money for others, those places wouldn’t have gone under.

Google Trump Tower, Baku, Azerbaijan. He built a tower on the poor side of town, no access road to it, and he had Ivanka sign her name to the project. The Iranian Republican Guard even laundered money through that project. I don't believe it has ever opened up for business.

... the casinos were in part real businesses and the Trumps are not good at making money on
business.


* The Trump businesses made money @ one of their hotels in Azerbaijan
which was built for one purpose and that was to launder money for various
oligarchs, Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and people who stole oil form different
middle eastern and Russian connected countries


https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/13/donald-trumps-worst-deal

BTW I don't know if it was one of his hotels or casinos but somebody ran the #s
on it and even if all the rooms were booked up @ their full rates the money they
brought in was not enough to cover the cost on the monthly note.

The article is titled “…worst deal…”
So, anything in it that talks about making money creates dissonance for me.
Besides, I wasn’t rejecting the notion the TO would stoop to money laundering.
I was rejecting that the Atlantic City casinos were there for that purpose.
If in fact, a joint in Azerbaijan could be profitable from laundering schemes, why wouldn’t three businesses in what then was the gambling center of the east coast. They didn’t & went belly up.
Hence my disbelief.

which he doesn't, the tool would have made it a unanimous vote since it was going to pass overwhelmingly anyway. Now his lone dissenting vote makes him even more of a standout, and raises questions as to what his motives are.

because those same three SC Justices are going to vote to overturn Roe v. Wade in a few months.

They don't owe allegiance to TFG as much as they do the evanHELLicals and big money donors to truly CONservative causes over the previous decades.TFG was just a tool (and what a tool he is!) to achieve their puritanical goals from decades past.

Those Justices will be there when the rubber hits the road, and throwing TFG under the bus just makes them look more "middle of the road" for when their actual agenda comes to fruition in the coming months.

We certainly won't be laughing then.

of course I understand that it may well be the most partisan court in our history. The SC allowed a Muslim ban and stated the reason being that the #1 job of a president is to protect the citizens. Then the court turns around and rejects the OSHA vaccine mandate which would have protected US citizens.

I also notice that this decision did not speak to the fact that the present president is the one who determines executive privilege. This court's decision was a narrow one that was based on Trump not making his legal case.

Allow me a brief respite from the future storm.

There is no way humpty's ego could stand being beaten by him, and even worse, to see him beat biden. He will do anything in his grasp to tear the gop down before he lets that happen.

It will either be him or his chosen one at the helm or a third party nightmare for the gop; and they know it.
