    You don't really believe that, do you?

    The Democrat establishment have history in rigging the primary result:

    This is the thing though.

    He has 108 million shares, almost 50% of the total. So if they are potentially now worth $1 billion, any attempt to suddenly sell of 50% of total shares tanks the value, on will lead to everyone trying to sell. That leads to question of who even buys.

    Add to that Trump would still have to pay almost 25% Capital gains tax. So even if he could magically convert those shares now to $1billion, who only gains about $750 million, whole thrashing his reputation just before election of being a great businessman and burning his supporters most of all. In all likelihood he'll only earn a fraction of that, while still reaping the full negative effects

    Absolutely.

    It's all tied to the Election , everything Trump is or has is dependent on him winning the election.

    If he wins , the stock price goes up and he gets to leverage the value into loans etc. bringing him cash with the CGT impacts etc.

    If he wins , he stays out of jail and gets to keep his businesses.

    If Trump loses , the entire House of cards collapses around him rather quickly.

    All the cases against him move forward , he likely goes to jail at the end of November on foot of his felony conviction in New York.

    With other Jail terms likely to follow from the Jack Smith led cases.

    The NY State judgement against him for tax evasion etc. presses ahead with getting their money as does E Jean Carroll.

    The most likely outcome there is a seizure of all his assets and a fire sale of all of his real-estate to pay the hundreds of millions of dollars he owes in fines and penalties.

    If Trump loses the election , he loses EVERYTHING and that's why he is so dangerous right now.

    Desperate men will do desperate things.

    Not sure if this is evidence of yet more Grift or just a measure of how much Melania hates Trump that she has to be paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to speak at a campaign event for him.

    New questions are being raised about the $237,500 fee former First Lady Melania Trump was paid for speaking at a Log Cabin Republicans event.

    The former first lady was also paid $250,000 for a Log Cabin event in December 2022, and she received two other payments of at least that amount for speaking to groups that month, according to earlier financial disclosure forms viewed by CNN. 

    Whichever it is , it's not a good look for Donald Trump.

    Also, speaking of COVID, she is very happy to classify bounce back jobs as new job creations, misleading the public. She's very dishonest.

    Anyone else read this in Trumps voice?

    Just a reminder in June that the World Bank reported that the US economy was doing so well that it credited it with stabilizing the rest of the world economy - but something something Kamala bad, and other low effort attempts to describe the economy as some “crisis” of her doing 🙄

    The global economy is in better shape than it was at the start of the year, thanks largely to the performance of the United States, the World Bank said in its latest forecast Tuesday. But the sunnier outlook could cloud over if major central banks — including the Federal Reserve — keep interest rates at elevated levels.*

    https://wapo.st/4dleB1A

    
“Globally, overall things are better today than they were just four or five months ago,” said Indermit Gill, the World Bank’s chief economist. “A big part of this has to do with the resilience of the U.S. economy.”

    *and as a reminder, the Fed just cut interest rates by 50 basis points this past week.



  • Moderators, Politics Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 17,041 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quin_Dub


    But that Fed rate cut was just done to help the Democrats.

    Election Interference!!!!!

    Grrrr, grrrr , rant, rant!!!

    Speaking of the nonsense about the Economy.

    JD Vance once again confirming that he's really really bad at this campaigning stuff.

    He recorded a video of himself in a shop ranting about how Eggs now cost $4 or more a dozen while standing in front of the all the Eggs priced at $2.99 a dozen..

    He's still mentioning Springfield at his rallies. What Trump and Vance has done to that community is disgraceful. My understanding is that Springfield was experiencing an economic downturn partly due to a declining population. So the local politicians actively encouraged immigration into the town which led to the current significant Haitian community who have revitalised local industry. So they are in the town legally, where broadly welcomed to the town, have had a positive impact on the local economy, but Trump's racist garbage is saying to deport them because he is appealing to the dregs of the American far right and the gullible MAGA cultists. Even if you ignore the last decade of his behavior, this alone should be instantly disqualifying for the presidency.

    Okay! Kind of petulant, this kind of joke, don't you think?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,020 ✭✭✭✭duploelabs


    But mocking someone's laugh isn't don't you think?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,291 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    There's something pretty funny about complaining about petulance from posters but having no issue with Trump coming out with racist conspiracy theories about Haitians.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,402 ✭✭✭Billy Mays


    It's pretty clear that Trump's supporters (and the odd centrist) on here hold anonymous posters on Boards.ie to a higher standard than the guy they want to be President of the USA.

    It's really weird tbh

    Apparently it's terrible to make fun of his "accordion hands" (which according to Michael Cohen are his go to move when he's lying) , but Trump sharing Tweets suggesting that Harris advanced her career on her knees doesn't draw any criticism from them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,781 ✭✭✭Flaneur OBrien


    The obvious double standards are very, very annoying and utterly shameless.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,187 ✭✭✭✭LambshankRedemption


    I'm starting to think that they think that Springfield Ohio is where the Simpsons live and they don't realise that the Simpsons is not real life.

    John Oliver had a very good segment about this on his show this week.



  • Moderators, Politics Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 17,041 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quin_Dub


    Very little about the America they describe exists in the real world.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,781 ✭✭✭Flaneur OBrien


    "And the cats of Springfield. They're getting revenge now… but the mice... They HATE each other. They use sledgehammers on each other. People don't feel safe in their own homes. Mice with sledgehammers. Mice. They sometimes use ACTUAL EXPLOSIVES on each other. The democrat cops are doing neither. They even know which mice and which cat started this violence. And they do nothing. One was called Scratchy and the other is called Itchy. When you elect me, I'll stop their menace. I'll grab em by the necks and say, "bold kitty kat", and I'll give that mouse a kick up the you know what."

    Not so sure about that. I've read a lot of national and local articles regarding what Trump did and nowhere is election crime mentioned except here. But please democrats, make a big issue of it, especially here in Pennsylvania were we struggle with crippling inflation every day. Bring Trump up on charges for giving a minuscule gift to a struggling mother of 3 and who is dealing with crushing grocery prices that we've felt under the Biden/Harris administration. Please, please, please make a major issue of it! Republicans could use all the help we can get here in the Keystone state.

    So laws can be broken if someone's suffering hardship?



  • Moderators, Politics Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 17,041 Mod ✭✭✭✭Quin_Dub


    Well , obviously not by the other side but my guys can break the law as much as they like because the ends justify the means , right???

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,683 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    You’re entitled to be wrong but it’s right there in the statutes I listed.

    remind me what was it? Y’all wanted an “emergency impeachment” was it of Kamala Harris again for?

    don’t be shocked when the Pennsylvania Attorney General asks a grand jury to indict Trump for the crime some time after he loses the election in 6 weeks

    Women, I know I was recorded saying how I like to grab you by the *****, without asking, because when you're famous they let you do it, and I know I was found liable for sexual assault, and I know I cheated on my wife with a porn star while my wife was at home with our new born, but.....

    Elect a clown... Expect a circus

    Chalk up another truth fact by Trump proven correct and proof of a lying fact check by the moderators of the ABC debate when they claimed that crime was actually falling per FBI reports. Trump was correct, the FBI changed how it collects crime data as the FBI report was missing data from nearly a third of the nation's law enforcement agencies, and particularly of note was missing data of many of the most violent cities, such as Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, and New Orleans.

    A more accurate picture of crime in America comes from Biden and Harris’ own DOJ showing:

    Violent crime is up 37% between 2020 and last year.

    • Rape is up 42%.
    • Robbery is up 63%.
    • Assault is up 34%.
    • Violent crime (excluding simple assault) is up 55%.
    • Domestic violence is up 32%.
    • Stranger violence is up 61%.
    • Violent crime (with an injury) is up 10%.
    • Violent crime (with a weapon) is up 56%.
    • Motor vehicle theft is up 42%.

    So do you think moderators Muir and Davis are hanging their heads in shame for their willful attempt to make Trump look bad with false fact checks and Harris look good in the most biased, unprofessional performances in debate history? Of course not, their high fiving each other over their ability to get their lies out there to discredit Trump into the heads of the many millions of debate viewers. Mission accomplished ABC News. As I noted it will take hell freezing over before the leftist cabal of ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN gets to host another presidential debate.
