In a Truth Social post on Thursday, Trump announced that he was revising a lawsuit against The New York Times to include the organization’s polling research, which currently shows him tanking on everything from the economy and immigration to his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

    polling research, which currently shows him tanking on everything from the economy and immigration to his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

    It is so infinitely moronic that some people thought he would be good for the economy. Trump is an idiot that just happened to be born rich, and he is absolutely evil and ruthless, and is lucky he is not in jail.
    If Trump wasn’t rich, he would have been in jail by the age of 20. His malignant narcissist personality makes him a habitual criminal. He has no regard for others, social grace, tradition or the law.

      The first time around, in 2016, there were a lot of “Trump will be great for the economy” takes. There were many unknowns at the time, so I can forgive people who believed that then. By the time 2024 came around, anyone with a pulse - or anyone who hadn’t attached their entire ego to him - knew better.

        Plus when he was campaigning he laid out exactly how he was going to wreck the economy and raise most people’s taxes.

      Trump bankrupted a Casino, a business that by its very nature should be virtually impossible to sink.

      Casinos have an initial cost to open, they have some costs to run, but their chief interest is People who have a problem where they give away too much of their money to try to win big, give you all their money, occasionally you have to give a fraction back so it feels less as if the house always wins.

        He did it by building another one just down the road from the first one. He didn’t pay the people who built it driving many of them into bankruptcy. You only have to look at what he has done to know he is the worst possible person to make a legal buck.

          Crazy that he gets away with the number of people he’s just, straight up declined to pay.

          You’d think after some point either

          1. People stop working with him
          2. The people he ripped off track him down to murder his ass

          But that never happened, somehow.

            Refusing to pay is actually a pretty common trait amongst the extreme narcissistic billionaires.

            I just watch that 4 part documentary on Pdiddy and he also refused to pay anyone. He didn’t even pay when he had 2Pac killed!

            I know a guy who sold a car and the check bounced. The next morning he was up and on the road. He walked in the guys business and beat the guy down. Then he told him if he didn’t have his money he was going to kill him. The guy talked him out of killing him and called his wife. He had her bring the money. Somehow he never heard a word about it from the cops. I really think he had the guy convinced he was going to kill him. I don’t think he would but I wouldn’t call his bluff if he came at me. Kinda crazy eyes when he gets excited.

      Wait wait wait, are you suggesting - actually suggesting - that trump supporters are . . Ha! . . What? Stupid as fuck?

        Yes I am, Stupid as fuck is the correct technical term, but more than that, they are also delusional and most of them are without empathy towards the people they knew would be hurt.
        To vote for Trump is so bad, it has to be described as close to mental illness to vote for him, because it’s an act of self harm for most people that did it.
        But I have no compassion for those people despite their mental illness, they were warned over and over and again and again. That a 2nd term with Trump would be far worse than the first.

      Trump wasn’t really rich. He was just good at getting loans. He might actually have some real cash now, considering all the grifts he’s been running while in office.

    He would sue gravity for making him fall down if he could figure out a way. It’s always someone else to blame, never a single ounce of responsibility. So tough, not being g able to admit you are wrong or don’t know. So manly. So… Pathetic. Blathering blazerskite!

    Grumpy Trumpy. How is that not a meme/his nickname? With shit like sleepy Joe I’m sure it would sting his fragile ego.

    Wait, he just told everyone in Switzerland that the US was the most bigly awsomest country that was so much better than all the other countries in the history of the world. Did something happen in the night? 🤔
