Why Trump’s big Wall Street payday won’t bail him out of financial trouble

[berg80]

All the Dems attacks, rigging and scheming...only made Trump twice as rich.

Then he should have no trouble arranging for a surety bond to be posted today.

It all goes back to the RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA bullshit foisted by you idiots in 2016.

As unlikely as it is at this point I continue to under estimate your ignorance.

Shit source is shit. Shit analysis is shit.

It is important for another reason: Along with the shorter volumes 1-4, the Senate’s report is the only credible account of the events of 2016 to which Republican elected officials have signed their names. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in a press release praised the report on the investigation he set in motion way back in December 2016, saying, “I commend my colleagues on both sides for keeping their work out of the partisan spotlight and focused on the facts.” McConnell, in the same press release, echoes the statements of Acting Committee Chairman Marco Rubio, stating that “[t]heir report reaffirms Special Counsel Mueller’s finding that President Trump did not collude with Russia.”

It is a bit of a mug’s game at this point to fight over whether what either Mueller or the Intelligence Committee found constitutes collusion and, if so, in what sense. The question turns almost entirely on what one means by the term “collusion”—a word without any precise meaning in the context of campaign engagement with foreign actors interfering with an election.

So rather than engaging over whether the Intelligence Committee found collusion, we decided to read the document with a focus on identifying precisely what the committee found about the engagement over a long period of time between Trump and his campaign and Russian government or intelligence actors and their cut-outs.

Whether one describes this activity as collusion or not, there’s a lot of it: The report describes hundreds of actions by Trump, his campaign, and his associates in the run-up to the 2016 election that involve some degree of participation by Trump or his associates in Russian activity. In this post—which we are generating serially as we read through the document—we attempt to summarize, precisely and comprehensively, what the eight Republicans on the committee, along with their seven Democratic colleagues, report that the president, members of his campaign and his associates actually did.

You wear your denial like a badge of honor when it's actually a sign of stupidity.

Trump rages on Truth Social as $454 million fraud deadline arrives

“Why should I be forced to sell my ‘babies?’” Trump fumed as he faces seizures and potential "bankruptcy."

www.salon.com

Trump at around 7 am claimed without evidence that the cases against him are “all coordinated by the White House and DOJ” and argued that his fraud judgment should be “ZERO.”

“There should be no FINE. Did nothing wrong! Why should I be forced to sell my ‘babies’ because a CORRUPT NEW YORK JUDGE & A.G. SET A FAKE AND RIDICULOUS NUMBER,” he wrote in another post.

Bold italicized bullshit is still bullshit.

Tons of assumption and outright guess work, and you rubes drink it down.

I'm more than a bit curious how much Trump will see of what's basically an IPO, if I understand this.

Trump owns the whole enchilada at this point, though it's never made much, if any, profit. But customarily when business entities have to pony up a bond, they have more, and different, assests than trump.

Every property that gets mention is already collateral for a previous loan. So, even if a bonding entity would take real estate, they won't take real estate for the total bond (because ... you have to sell land) and they don't want to be third or forth in priority of leins if ... the worst happens for Trump.

Generally, big biz, has stuff like .... stock shares. Or better yet .... cash reserves. Trump's just trying to get some. (-: I'd guess what'll happen is how fast can Trump unload even the amount of shares he's allowed to personally sell, and how fast the reality of no profit in Trump Speak sinks in to the idiots who buy his sht.

Trump Claims Companies Wonât Secure His $500 Million BondâBut Even Bigger Ones Were Paid In These Cases

The attorney general’s office argued it’s “not unusual” for companies to issue bonds for large amounts, as Trump’s allies claimed.

But he needs the cash now. What's that commercial with AG Wentworth?

His stock ownership, which I think is around 70%, is locked up (he can't sell) for what I think is 6 months.
