There's a penniless beggar just trying to stay alive. Can't you throw something at yet another trump money-pit? Maybe if he threw in a 10 minute session with Ivanka (or a 100 minute with

and he's never done that for any of his other business ventuees, he's just let them go under with investors holding the (empty) bag.

is still largely intact, although it won't be if the Feds insist on a few big bills getting paid.

The main talent that big slob has always had was to talk men who should have known a lot better into funding his harebrained business plans.

Why does he need other peoples' money then? Because it's all a fking LIE and his house of cards is starting to crumble.

that he'll take the company public by himself. Yeah, sure.

I can't remember where I read that this morning. My brain and eyes don't start working in unison until somewhere between the second and third cup of coffee.

Since he's never put his money on the line for any of his other losing ventures I doubt he will this time, either.

Bankruptcy #7 coming right up. How will he communicate with his cult after this? Silly me, the mainstream media will carry his water for him, as always.

What makes me so frustrated is that as a business man TFG was and still is a complete failure. He doesn't know how to do anything aside from ruin things. Yet, many said because he was a businessman he would be a good POTUS...sure thing!
