What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

His priests would argue what he was really saying okay like is that ... the Democrats 'took it', duh, not him. Or, that what was there to be taken, was ... prosecution against Democrats? I never saw a criminal referral from Trump, he was a US AG?

That’s just it, though. He had more votes than any other loser in the history of general elections. And he didn’t even win the popular vote in 2016. He lost the midterms then was twice impeached.

You're cherrypicking one aspect of the vote results. He got the highest votes of any President in history, and lost because Biden had the highest votes of any candidate in history. He increased his vote on the 2016 election, and lost by an even higher percentage of the total vote than he did in 2016. He also claimed his electoral college win in 2016 was the biggest since Reagan (it wasn't) and meant it was a massive landslide victory, and he lost to Biden by the exact same amount (therefore by Trump's own metrics, he lost in a landslide).

I agree that calling him the biggest loser in American electoral history is hyperbole, however it is hyperbole which is very much deserved when taking Trump's own comments on how big his 2016 victory was and how much of a little-bitty-b*tch he's being about losing, decisively, in a landslide, in the 2020 election.

Looks like Trump's second personal liar/lawyer is about to go through some things...

Rudy, pictured below, rummaging in his legal Briefs, trying to find something to help him...

Can't decide if Four seasons landscape, getting tricked by Borat, having hair dye run down his face or farting in court is his lowest point to date

That's another thing the supporters excuse. Trump surrounded himself with low lifes who have been since indicted and both his lawyers are in the barrell. Their reply - he isn't charged with anything. And sure, they were only investigated and charged to try and get to him... Something something witch-hunt.

Musk in hot water for missing an important legal deadline by 10 days. He utterly failed to publicly disclose when he bought shares of Twitter. The law compels disclosure for exceptionally large stock buys. I wonder if Twitter could get in trouble, they knew all about this before he even bought the stock and then flirted with him about the board

More documents released to the Jan 6th commission

Trump supporters really do get easily excited.

Amazing how they didn't get as excited about Trump's very own social media platform, created pretty much especially for him. Probably because since Trump's own team made it, they knew it was going to end up being a failure.

Regardless, most people, as stated several times here, expect Trump to have been let back on Twitter if he announces he's running in 2024 irrespective if Musk was on the board or if he owns Twitter outright. Trump being allowed back on Twitter was already pretty much inevitable. The only thing likely to prevent it is if Trump ends up facing any kind of charges which would prevent him from running.

But again, it's funny to see Trump being at the mercy of someone far richer than he is. Trump brought lawsuits against Twitter, and then tried to build his own Twitter competitor and failed bigly. Musk just offered to buy Twitter outright.

Why would Musk want to buy Twitter? According to truth social CEO, it's a wasteland.....

Maybe he DOES want to reinstate trump and have it descend into a cesspit of hate, lies and litigation. I'll ask a dog, the next time I see one.

I suppose trump's klan will take this a win.... That a multi-billionaire had to take over a company in order to let trump post again after his latest business failure.

What a win!!

They can then all rally around him and cheer on Putin and his invasion. Laugh and cheer as the invasion kills women and children because trump and fox think it's the best porn ever: A trump/fox assisted war on Biden's watch. A whole big circle-jerk.

I am actually genuinely interested to see how this goes. Both in the short term and the long term.

Actual tangentially-related question(s) here. Unrelated to party politics:

So, Musk has 9% share at the moment. Let's say he bought them at 40 dollars a share. He now announces that he will pay 54 dollars a share or something. All of a sudden people start clamouring for Twitter shares to make some quick cash. Obviously They'd only make money if they bought for under 54 dollars.

So the price goes up to 50 dollars a share. I'm assuming it would be illegal for him to sell these shares (After making a 25% profit) and then saying "Nah, couldn't be arsed". I would imagine this would be considered insider trading or some such. I assume this would be illegal and he would be fined... But I'm also assuming that his accounting team will have fudged the numbers so that the fine would be a fraction of what he made.

You see, Trump gives out about people they don't like. They think people they don't like then get wound up and in an extremely juvenile way, chuckle away to themselves.

That's all he is to them. They couldn't give two sh1ts about policy, criminality, social or political norms, multiple political or business failures, loyalty or decency.

He tries to "own the libs" and therefore, that's their guy.

Pretty pathetic really.
