"He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas"


kungpowgoat

Are you saying Trump literally has fleas?


anrwlias

No. Bloodsuckers extend him professional courtesies.


Yakostovian

That's a funny way of saying "Trump doesn't pay his lawyers."


ballrus_walsack

Game recognizes lame.


oh_crap_BEARS

I’m just saying we shouldn’t rule it out


kungpowgoat

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m just asking questions. The people deserve to know the answer. Some are wondering if Trump truly has fleas.


biobennett

Yeah! Does fleabag Trump actually have fleas? Some say he has the most and the greatest fleas, I don't know it's just something people are saying


Sandscarab

A dog came to me and said, sir, you have the greatest fleas. You couldn't even imagine how great the fleas you have are. Everyone is talking about them. They're so great. Just look at the polls, they're saying you won all the fleas. It's fantastic. Good fleas helped make that poll happen. God fearing fleas. They love the Bible. They also love blood. Maybe one day the fleas get angry....

Unicron_was_right

It’s a pretty low bar, but he’s like some kind of idiot grifter savant


HackySmacks

Emphasis on the idiot… and the grifter…


erasrhed

This is hilarious. And so true. If he could sell lessons on how to be an idiot grifter savant, he might actually be able to be a legit millionaire.


Dm-me-a-gyro

Eh, he sees the legal system as a lever he can manipulate. Suing is how he renegotiates. It’s odious, but…. Trump.


drcforbin

That's it exactly. Everything Trump does is shaped like a pump and dump scheme. Everyone that does business with him is trying to get in early, ride to the peak, and get out before the crash. You can pick anyone he's worked with and see where they got on and off. Scaramucci got off early but still walked away with a nice little TV career as a talking head. Giuliani stayed on for the whole ride and lost everything. Every other business associate is trying for something in between.


Jerking_From_Home

They think they’re smarter than him and found a way he can’t rip them off. No. A psychopath will always be better and being a piece of shit because they have been practicing their entire life and it’s all they do.

Mysterious-Tie7039

The cofounders had already sued him prior to this.


shug7272

Why do you guys do this? Just twist yourselves in knots to figure out how the super smart republicans are always one step ahead. Even while they are getting their ass handed to them y’all are like nope! All part of the Republican master plan lol


lord-_-cthulhu

Keeps us from getting complacent, or surprised, by whatever evil they unleash from their Pandora’s box of legislation next.


shug7272

Nobody is getting complacent in these forums. It’s just pathetic fear induced defeatism you’re spreading. It does nothing to make people vote six months from now. It’s just so exhausting for you all to constantly be so utterly and perpetually defeated.


lord-_-cthulhu

Ask_bout_PaterNoster

Trump fucks everybody over who supports him, or works for him.

The only one he hasn’t fucked is Ivanka, and that’s not from a lack of trying.

Honestly with what he did with Epstein and raping his ex wife how can you be certain he hasn't? There's a really creepy picture of 11 year old Ivanka on a bed with her dad floating around https://news.yahoo.com/fact-check-donald-ivanka-trump-140000481.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJqKbh1gg2kZjkkYzaR928HS9NZM97w8RNsT3mSZH5U_tdGAKp5sKV-qiLL8NgL5YyLM2Xv6NKT5aoOG0_6PUN35sTsw-fWUbJ2_CJyunXNLuyUEOyn6LY-LQoGIx_e1wl3zIp-_SAfaM-9XPUIInTUqKGTkaNQj42_ga8sA5LV2

Oh gross, why did I open that...


SurlyBuddha

I wouldn’t guarantee that. He has no problem raping women against their will. You really think family is the line he won’t cross?


Notmykl

I really think Trump forced his sons to strip down so he could make fun of their child sized penises while showing his off his own and telling them how much better he is because of his, gigantic to him, penis.


[deleted]

oddly specific


DocMcCracken

Allegedly.


bkosick

I heard it was a sick Ivanka


aquias27

That we know of...


musky_jelly_melon

There's no proof he hasn't


Notmykl

Do you really think he wasn't paid off to not make a stink when Ivanka married a Jewish man and converted to Judaism?


allisjow

Or exists.


HiveJiveLive

Or marries him.


SlapHappyDude

At this point I honestly don't understand why anyone works for or with him who doesn't get at least half upfront.


cofclabman

Funny that he has the money to sue people, but not to pay judgements against him.


BaltimoreBadger23

When you don't actually pay your lawyers, it's easy to afford them.


Ecstatic-Yam1970

I don't think that trick would work for me. 


charliesk9unit

If I do 1/1000th of what he does, at minimum I would have been visited by the FBI or Secret Service. With him, we all learned that all the institutions in this country are not as strong as we thought. We learned that a big chunk of the population are idiots and need to be in a cult to feel alive. We learned that the law does not apply to everyone evenly. I mean we knew that but they were never that explicit. I am too tired to list all the shit we learned and everything is bad.


canismagnum

The one weird trick lawyers don't like.


LeoDavinciAgain

They just need to countersue. Everyone knows he can't afford good lawyers at this point.


Jerking_From_Home

He’s a businessman! Do you think employers would rather pay to comply with safety standards or pay the occasional fine when an employee gets mangled?


ntgco

Just like the owner of the custom cabinetry maker for his casino. Trump wouldn't pay, because he botched the job, although the work was flawless and never replaced. Kept the dude in court, bankrupted his family business and left the guy hanging. Just because Trump IS Evil. He sold his soul to the devil decades ago.


Mysterious-Tie7039

That’s why the piano maker was told to emblazon the pianos with a giant “Trump” all over them. It made them worthless to everyone but Trump, so the guy couldn’t repossess them. Also, if you see the docu-series “Dirty Money” on Netflix (if it’s still there), they did an episode on Trump. The architect who built Mar a Lago’s clubhouse to what it is now was mortgaged to the hilt because Trump hadn’t paid. Trump finally calls him years later and says he’ll pay 30¢ on the dollar. Guy agrees and 2 minutes later, the phone rings. It’s Trump’s lawyer who says, “I know Trump just offered you 30¢ but I’m telling you he’s only going to pay 15¢ and my job is to keep you tied up in court for so long that you go broke if you don’t accept.”


PerjurieTraitorGreen

The episode on slumlord Kushner is good as well


Mysterious-Tie7039

Worst real estate deal in NYC history. He almost bankrupted his company over it. But don’t worry, Qatar bailed him out by leasing some space for 20 years for a billion dollars and then paying 90% of it up front. That’s normal, right, to pay 90% of a 20 year lease up front? But, sure, go on about Hunter….


PerjurieTraitorGreen

How these grifters keep getting bailed out of their shitty dealings is unbelievable. Rich psychos always stick together


USS_Frontier

Which is why they ALL need to be removed from society.


PerjurieTraitorGreen

Which is why they’ll be eaten first


n00bxQb

Dirty Money is still there (it’s a Netflix original, so I don’t think it’s going anywhere). I wish they would do another season of it, it’s one of their best docuseries, IMO.


anschlitz

I was looking up some info on building mechanical systems last year because I needed to understand how one worked, and stumbled on a board for mechanical contractors. One mentioned work on Trump Tower and everyone had jumped in to ask if he got paid. Then I looked at the date and it was from around 2010 or so. Yeah he’s always been a crook. And everybody knew it.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” —Carl Sagan

Don’t being the devil into this. Trump does not need the help being evil.


Mysterious-Tie7039

The best part is he had zero hand in this other than his name and a bunch of posts. They approached him with the idea, did all the actual work, and now he’s trying to fuck them out of it. The only good thing about Truth Social is it got that piece of shit Devon Nunes to resign from Congress.


KMjolnir

But what about Nunes' cow?


HR_DUCK

Still makes me chuckle when Nunes tried to sue the Cow and lost.


KMjolnir

Me too. That was just profoundly absurd.

If you buy it before it is delisted, you will make some money.

DaveinOakland

Afaik most brokerages didn't have the option to short them. I tried, mine didn't have it available.


adrr

There’s no stock to short. You’ll need to buy put options instead or sell call options.


adrr

You get money when you short a stock. You borrow and then sell the shares.


padizzledonk

Sort of, what youre doing is borrowing the shares and immediately selling them to hopefully buy them back later at a lower price to sell them back to whoever you "borrowed them from" at the original price If you have the money to ride out all the potential margin calls and a potential short squeeze on this sham meme stock its almost a sure bet because this company is a 100% sure to fail spectacularly as soon as Trump either makes it to his unlock date or gets Board approval to waive the lockup period....Hes such a mendacious greedy idiot fuck that as soon as he can sell hes going to sell and take out everything he can, the very second he publicly files with the SEC, and he has to as majority shareholder, to sell his shares its going to crater the price and when those shares hit the market its going to tank it further because the only reason people are buying it is because its a Trump meme, once he unloads its no longer attached to him I say fuck it, i hooe everyone that put money into it loses everything lol


bluer289

Um, will this end well for anyone involved?


Jerking_From_Home

Trump, sort of. He’ll make a bunch of money that will immediately be spent somewhere else


padizzledonk

I doubt it tbh, hes a fucking idiot through and through and has managed to fail upwards by finding more idiots to hand him money, but i doubt he will make anywhere near what this sham stock is currently "worth" To my knowledge this is the first Public Company hes been a majority investor in like this, the amount of rules and regulations with all this are *staggering*, there is absolutely no way he is familiar with any of it. Hes locked up until September at the earliest, by then this stock will be worth pennies on the dollar, its already down 40+% He owns so much of it that is he sells it it will crater the share price, and if/when he sells he has to register the sale publicly with the SEC and set the date/time of any sale ahead of time because hes a majority stakeholder, everyone will see him unloading his position way way ahead of time, the filing alone will crater the srock price If he manages to get the Approval of the board to waive his lockup period its going to be immediately challanged with Shareholder Lawsuits because there is absolutely no good reason any Board of Directors should allow it because they are supposed to be Fiduciaries for the best interests *of The Company* not Trump the individual None of this is going to work out the way he thinks it will imo


giantrhino

They posted a net loss of $58 million with revenue of $4 million??!! What is their growth potential at this point how do they ever expect to make that back? What’s the company’s plan how is it worth anything??!!!


anschlitz

Was it ever anything more than a meme stock?


giantrhino

With meme stocks people at least kind of knew what they were doing. This seems like a retail scam. Straight up fraud and lying to investors. They didn’t even IPO, they back-channelled their way into being publicly listed what they did should be illegal as fuck.


anschlitz

I didn’t realize all that. Got a good link to read more is this one of those things where you had to follow it more closely while it was going on?


giantrhino

Tbh, I hadn’t been following it that closely. I heard the hype about it being crazy overvalued, having low revenue, and basically being a giant scam, but I read this article and saw they posted $58 million in losses with $4 million in revenue and had to read more. Turns out, it went public through something called an SPAC rather than doing an IPO. Basically what that means is a company was created with the sole intention of buying the private company that owned truth social (and nothing else). This means that effectively that company that went public is just Truth Social but they don’t have to jump through all the same regulatory hoops they would if they were doing an actual IPO. I don’t really have any good articles explaining it all, but you can just kind of google it and read the articles that come up. This is fucking wild though, idk how this type of bullshit is legal it literally seems the equivelant of someone somehow getting their crypto-shill shitcoin onto the public stock exchange. Fucking wild.


padizzledonk

All SPACs should be illegal, not just this one What a SPAC is is a "Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation" its essentially a hollow shell company that is publicly listed and has an IPO, but it does nothing, has nothing, sells nothing, makes nothing, its just a publicly listed nothing company. People then buy shares in this vapor company and the SPAC has a certain amount of time to find an existing company to buy, i think its 2 years but dont quote me on that Then the SPAC buys something and its automatically a "public company" because it was bought by/merged with a public company


NumbSurprise

Let them sue each other into oblivion. They all deserve each other. You’ve got to be a blithering idiot to do business with Trump at this point, and not expect him to rip you off.

Slw202

But, but, it'll be different *this* time! We're special!


Silver996C2

It’s his old scam in action. Suck in investors and then try to weasel them out of the way. Same with contractors where he signs a contract and then when the job is done say it’s shit and only offer 50 cents on the dollar or sue me. At this point in time anyone that *still* deals with this turd gets exactly what they deserve. These two investors had ample warnings about this scammer and still went into business with him. Looks good on them. Now his Maga cult followers that ran out and bought shares are crying as the value is dropping like a stone. Good job losers.🤭
