Is Trump Senile or Just REALLY REALLY Dumb

[Meathead]

Coming from a one digit IQ MAGA - so who cares?

Indeed, this coming from a TDSer with an IQ of a liberal - so who gives a rat's ass.

Atlantic City casinos. At a time when Atlantic City was in free fall. I took a beating on my real estate investments during that period. Most investors DID!
Keep in mind that ALL of Trump's bankruptcies were Chapter 11's! Reorganizations leading to sales. Trump has never filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy on ANY of his businesses! Nor has he ever filed personal bankruptcy!

Quick: Who'd Have Trouble Living on $450,000 a Month?
By Kurt Eichenwald

• June 26, 1990

Donald J. Trump, who has lectured America about architecture, foreign policy and, most of all, how to do deals, may be about to learn a lesson of his own: how to live in Manhattan on $450,000 a month.
That scarcely onerous restriction is being imposed by Mr. Trump's bankers, who have insisted that the man who has made conspicuous consumption a personal trademark must curb his spending a bit.
Moreover, the $450,000-a-month allowance excludes some of the largest of Mr. Trump's daunting expenses, the bankers say. These extras, based on Mr. Trump's spending in May, include the costs of maintaining his personal 727 jetliner ($246,000) and his 282-foot yacht ($841,000). The yacht and the personal jet, to be sure, may be sold to trim the real estate developer's mountainous debts.
In May, Mr. Trump also paid interest of $2.1 million on his personal debt, while his legal, charitable and business expenses totaled $382,000. His interest payments and various expenses do not count as personal spending, either.

Still, the $450,000-a-month limit will require some belt-tightening on Mr. Trump's part. In May, his bankers report, Mr. Trump's personal spending amounted to $583,000 for day-to-day necessities of the ultrarich life style, which range from his $2,000 suits to the costs of maids, gardeners and chefs at his three homes.
So to meet the bankers' target, Mr. Trump must trim his personal expenses by more than $100,000 from the May level. If he can do that, the banks will agree to lend Mr. Trump even more money.

The terms are being required by the banks, which are attempting to structure a loan to Mr. Trump to keep his faltering empire out of bankruptcy court.
The personal spending limits agreed to by the banks, though a cutback for Mr. Trump, still come to $5.4 million a year. If the banks agree to the terms of the new loan, in the month of July, for example, Mr. Trump would have to hold his expenses to just $14,516.13 a day, or $10.08 every minute of the day and night.
'It's Just Phenomenal'
Even the truly wealthy found Mr. Trump's manner of spending, reduced circumstances or not, to be remarkable.


''I would have no idea how to spend $450,000 a month,'' said one billionaire, who asked not to be identified. ''It's just phenomenal.''
Financial planners for the well heeled agreed.
''We have handled a lot of entertainers, some of whom lived very extravagantly, but I have never come across anybody who spent that way,'' said Lawrence B. Eichler, president of Sentinel Asset Management. ''Donald Trump lives in strata few of us approach, or even want to approach.''
Even Mr. Trump, who declined to comment, once said: ''A little more moderation would be good.'' But he was quick to add, ''Of course, my life hasn't exactly been one of moderation.''
Deadline on a Payment
Mr. Trump's unfolding financial drama may reach a climax tonight as the developer faces a deadline to make a payment on a high-yield ''junk bond'' issue. No matter what the outcome, the glimpse of Mr. Trump's spending habits is certain to add another layer to the high-spending lore to the 1980's.

Mr. Trump's new allowance may be absorbed easily, given the style of living to which he has become accustomed. The developer owns three homes, including Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Fla. That home, which was willed to the State of Florida by Marjorie Merriweather Post, was sold to Mr. Trump because the state could not afford to pay for its upkeep. Scores of household staff members are paid to help keep up the 118-room residence.
Mr. Trump will also have to continue to maintain his 50-room penthouse triplex in Manhattan's Trump Tower, which comes complete with an 80-foot living room, bronze-edged floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Central Park, and a 12-foot waterfall.

The only pertinent line from that was this one...

"So to meet the bankers' target, Mr. Trump must trim his personal expenses by more than $100,000 from the May level. If he can do that, the banks will agree to lend Mr. Trump even more money."

So even during one of the worst real estate collapses in decades...banks were still willing to loan Trump money! Do you know WHY? Because they had faith in him as a businessman. They looked at his track record and decided he was a winner. Smart people those bankers. That decision probably made the bank a ton of money.

Trump Makes Claim So Stupid That It Could Easily Be Debunked By Looking At A Map

“You go ‘boom, boom,’ and now you're in Qatar,” the president said while making a huge geographical flub.

He’s said a lot of dumb stuff over the years but walking from Iran to Qatar?

The world’s best swimmer might be able to swim that ocean but ain’t no one walking on water

Does Trump ever look at maps? He has no clue

One can only sea.

 

[Man With A Plan]

okey dokey!



yep.



yep.

Specifically, which policy?

 

[playtime]

Specifically, which policy?

start with the BBB, which hasn't even kicked in yet - but 20,000,000 people lost their healthcare. after the midterms when that bill does activate - that means defunding medicaid to fund ICE.

USAID defunding & SNAP eliminations, whilst food is left to rot in the fields & warehouses.

donny is rolling back EPA regs, & will be raping the country national treasures to deforest & drill away.

abortion rights.

his cabinet choices & their policies...

that enough for ya?

20,000,000 people lost their healthcare? Where did you pull that number out of? It's 1.2 million people that are no longer on the government assisted health plans because of the BBB. Try to be somewhat factual...

USAID was rife with spending on some of the craziest things I've ever heard of. They lost their funding because they abused it so badly! Would you like me to regale the board with some of the crap we were spending tax payer money on through USAID?

What EPA regulation do you specifically object to having rolled back?

Abortion rights were given back to the States. The voters in those States will decide what they want. Some lost abortion rights. Some had additional abortion rights added.

His Cabinet? LOL Compared to the Biden Cabinet...Trump's Cabinet is like The Avengers! They're actually competent!

ummm. no. the BBB hasn't even been enacted yet.

BUT
let me rephrase that - upwards of 20,000,000 million will lose their healthcare when it does, because medicaid will be c-u-t.

Try to be somewhat factual...

the BBB, right now is dormant & that is what's factual.

USAID was rife with spending on some of the craziest things I've ever heard of. They lost their funding because they abused it so badly! Would you like me to regale the board with some of the crap we were spending tax payer money on through USAID?

so cut it by 90%? there was no 90% fraud, & abuse.
