    No idea whether those figures are correct. Not even going to check from that source. Lol at pro-immigrant, low-immigration. Are they centrists like you?

    Well let's check in with ol' Peacekeeper Trump and see what he thinks Israel should do.

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-says-israel-should-get-it-over-with-in-gaza_n_660f0e7de4b09f580bc72b97?d_id=7500655&ncid_tag=tweetlnkushpmg00000067&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=us_main

    Former president Donald Trump urged Israel to speed up its brutal offensive in Gaza against terror group Hamas because images of the destruction there are creating bad publicity for Israel.

    “Every night, they’re releasing tapes of a building falling down. They shouldn’t be releasing tapes like that. That’s why they’re losing the PR war. They, Israel, is absolutely losing the PR war,” Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt in an interview Thursday.

    “Get it over with. They’ve got to finish what they finish. They have to get it done,” Trump said. “Get it over with, and get it over with fast, because we have to, you have to get back to normalcy and peace.”

    I mean give the man the Nobel Peace Prize right now. "Israel are losing the PR war, they should finish off Palestine fast so we can get back to normal."

    The fact that trump is the Republican nominee is truly terrifying.


    After the indictments, the sexual assault case, the insurrection, the Impeachments.

    He’s a morally bankrupt evil person.

    If he wins, then the us is done imo.

    Imagine having the balls to ask people, who are clearly targeted as the extremely poor, and asking them to contribute to "his campaign" (his legal fund) while Trump is at the podium telling all who will listen that he will take away social security benefits*from them*.

    An absolute cult.

    It would appear that the company that are providing the $175M bond to Trump for his court appear don't actually have the funds to cover the debt if required.

    They aren't properly registered in NY as a bond provider , they don't appear to have $175M in readily available cash to pay the bond if needed and even if they did they don't appear to meet the requirement that no single bond amount to more than 10% of available assets - Trump bond would account for 127% of their available funds.

    That's likely what he'll try.

    When I first saw the news that his bond was rejected due to bad filing work, I was almost hopeful what Donnie's selection of dimwits to do his bidding would bite him in the ass again, and cost him his properties. But so far my feeling was that he'd somehow still get away with it.

    But now we see that Donnie went and selected a potential saviour that he might not have even been allowed to use for this. Again, I fully expect him to somehow get out of this too. But it would be beyond hillarious if he actually managed to still lose it all now, despite all of the extra breaks he's been given. All thanks to the "stable genius" and his "best people".

    Surely the courts cannot stand idly by and allow Trump to make a mockery of them. That is clearly what this is. First, he claimed he couldn't pay, claiming that there was never a bond as big as this (which of course is a lie). Then he gets it reduced and files the bond incorrectly (surely the lawyer that submitted it must be held accountable) and now it turns out it breaks all the rules in terms of the financial position of the bondholder.

    He is giving two fingers to the courts. Bought himself another few weeks

    He can, because guilt & his personality aside these escapades remind that the Court System on these issues are always geared towards giving rich people as much leeway as possible. That blatant inequity existed long before Biden or Trump talked Presdential campaigns and neither intend fixing it - but if you're rich, you get a better court experience than if you or I committed half the things Trump has.

    Helps too if you got a cult behind you too.

    I think it's too late for that. It's part of the reason he stacked the supreme court with pliable non-entities and he can always leverage the MAGA loons to exert more pressure if needs be. Or he could just buy them as has been done with Clarence Thomas.

    Oh, I fully expect this is Donnie scrambling to try and delay everything until he can hopefully get into the White House and make off of this (and potentially the people related to it) disappear.

    But I also think this was an actual attempt to post the newly agreed bond, but since he is so very bad with money & business in general, that his own stupidity is creating a good deal of this circus. He probably went to this Don Hankey character, offered him the moon for his help, and then reaped the reward of having to rely upon an out-of-state bordlerline-legal sub-prime debt reseller who only have 2 theoretical Billions to rub together is everything goes to hell. New York requires that the bond be no more than 10% of a bonder's available cash, meaning this Knight Group might not fit the bill at all.

    He is certainly giving the courts the 2 fingers, that's for sure, but Donnie is also a self-important nitwit, and I think that has a lot to do with what is happening here.

    In other news.. The inevitable collapse continues..

    image.png

    Down ~30% since initial launch.

    All the candlestick charting etc. indicates that all lower support levels are non-existent and absent some major positive financial news very very soon the decline is only going to accelerate.

    U do remember a certain centrist claiming that DJT was outclassing Reddit and the latter was going to due a death under the tremendous brilliance of his master's floatation.

    Well that comment aged like the XFL

    It's a weird one - The available stock is almost exclusively owned by small "retail investors" aka - MAGA fans.

    Trump and the other "restricted" stock holders own about 75/80% of the shares so the amount of actual shares being traded is really small compared to a typical IPO stock.

    Shorting the stock is actually very difficult for a number of reasons - There are very few shares available to trade and because there are no large scale investors to speak of it's very hard to find someone to buy the other side of the short option and so the cost of the short is exceptionally high relative to the return.

    The drop right now is mostly the retail investors with any kind of brain bailing out before the total collapse , but that could take a while as it's probably not unreasonable to suggest that a decent chunk of the current stock holders have bought in for emotional (aka Cult follower) reasons and not for financial/logical reasons.

    If this collapse was only ever inevitable, then someone explain to this man utterly pig-ignorant of stocks & finance: what was the point of floating it in the first place? Surely Trump had "some" kind of plan he hoped would yield him megabucks, right? Given how obvious this was going to happen, there still must have been some kind of edge-case that might have been a win?
