Welll...about those threats from, what, 23 hrs ago...

He knew what was coming. How'd those threats work out for you, Donald?


I don't know about you all but I just don't want his orange ass out of office at this point...I hope he is crushed/drained financially..short and long term, all his property taken away from TT to Mar-a-Lago, any offshore accounts confiscated, and even if he escapes federal charges I want to see the full weight of whatever state charges possible come crashing down on him/his family.

2. Losing their 'brand' earning potential would destroy them

I doubt they'd feel much shame or remorse about fucking up their governing 'jobs'

They probably look down on all civil service anyway

But if the TRUMP brand no longer generated income!
Delicious!

ALL is he worried about right now is the Trump "brand". He couldn't care less if he destroyed the entire country, as long as his "brand" remains profitable. Hell, they weren't that profitable BEFORE all of this, hence his disastrous Russian backed loans.

The entire Trump family are incapable of "shame or remorse". They're ALL pathological liars and narcissists. These are the Trump family traits, passed on from generation to generation.

If Trump's "brand" is destroyed, the entire house of cards he's built around his disgusting family is over. BUT.......he'll just file for bankruptcy........AGAIN, and start a new con. Hopefully he'll just target the cement-heads who supported him in his Presidential con-game. They really do deserve to be exposed to their hero's "Art of the Steal" firsthand.

13. He will fall back on a Trump Media "empire"

It's what his camp wanted from the beginning. They didn't expect to win...it was mentioned in some post election articles. He had gathered a huge ass database thanks to Project Alamo. All his kool aid drinkers cult followers would sign up for his media empire. Kushner was pissed at the Fox brass and wanted to take over it's media role. But then Trump won. Whoops.

The cult will follow him, give all their money to whatever subscription media he starts up, his family will all be employed there, it will run ONLY Trump brand commercials, and he will still be doing his "swamp talk". But it will include how the swamp victimized him/family.

Whatever...just get their fucking asses out of OUR HOUSE.

LOL, he really thinks he can con/bully his way out of this.

On the bright side, Sessions just reinstated the ability to seize assets of suspected criminals! I can hardly think of a more fitting and ironic end to this whole debacle.

Mid article they said she and her kid stopped into the room and the grandkid said, upon Trump's orders (for real) in Chinese: "I love you, Grandpa".

the Trump children actually have to find - and work at - a REAL job? It'll never happen though. They're connected to too many rich assholes who'd still think being close to the Trumps was "cool".
