It’s so hilarious to watch I had to post this.

      His “business career” is almost entirely made out of failures and bankruptcies, he’s very much used to losing shitloads of money. He was a fucking moron long before he became senile.

        That’s why he tossed it the way he did, that’s how you toss money into a fire. Proper coin flip lands to close, you don’t wanna be that close to the money fire.

        My favorite factoid, he charged his own “failing” casinos 90K for each floor walkthrough. One way.

        Is that a failed business, or was it in fact designed to “fail” so Trump could make a fortune?

        I think he’s dumb now, but Roy Cohn taught him well (he was also infamous for skipping bills, screwing contractors, and so on)

    Imagine being a 270lb block of muscle pumped full of testosterone standing this close to a fascist murderer and child rapist and not ripping even one of his limbs off? Talk about a setup for regret.

    This clown can’t do a LOT of normal things. The only thing he’s good at is appealing to morons and grifting.

      I used to think GWB would be the worst President of my lifetime.

      Now, I fondly remember GWBs fumbling in comparison.

        Well, Ronnie Raygun was still in living memory for me, so…while W/Cheney had that Iraq thing, Ronnie Raygun did a lot more damage to this country. And while most people like to add “-gate” to words for scandals, due to Watergate, Iran/Contra was arguably worse.

        And knowing America’s track record on electing dumb leaders …

        It’s the worst president so far.

          Well, we finally have Bezos and Musk on the victory stage clapping with their selected candidate.

          They are less and less concerned about public appearances and open support every year. It… it’s almost as if they control the government and media to influence public opinion to win. But that’s crazy

        That might have been media training. Imagine the clips of “shame on me”? The Daily Show would have had a field day.

      I had thought about that, especially since Army won the toss, and the Army shares a “birthday” with Trump. He would be a petty enough bitch to fix a coin toss because of that.

      But I chased down video of the toss, and I don’t think he looked at the coin long enough to acknowledge which side was up. Rather, I think he tossed the coin as if he was tossing it into a fountain. Which is probably how he regards any coin which doesn’t have his picture on it.

      (You would think he has seen enough football games to know how the coin toss goes. But keep in mind he is originally from Queens, NY, which is Jets territory. One could forgive him for not bothering to really follow the NFL over the years if the Jets were all he got to watch.)

        He owned a USFL team, the New Jersey Generals. Shockingly, he bankrupted the team and is widely viewed as the catalyst for the league folding.

          Well, he was the guy that pushed for the USFL to move its schedule from Spring to Fall, which is really what killed it.

          That, and the fact that while the USFL technically won their anti-trust suit with the NFL, they were awarded only $1 in damages (although those types of suits award triple damages, so they really won $3!)

          Trump was in on the bidding for the Bills when they were up for sale, but NFL owners did everything they could to kill that because of all this history. He says that if he bought the Bills, he probably would have never ran for President. In an alternative universe, the country is not a fascist hellhole and the Bills suck (but have a cheerleading squad “on the younger side”…)

            His terrible track record aside, it’s kind of crazy just how many different pies he’s had his fingers in over the years. The guy is like the Forrest Gump of shady business dealings.
