Trump Claims He’s Scraped Together Almost $500M ‘IN CASH’ as Fraud Bond Deadline Looms

China got Trump for nothing.

 

Not sure what you mean about the highlighted in red, but there is plenty I don't know. What I do know is that when it comes to actual wealth, Trump has never been the financial powerhouse many people attribute him to be. He did not invest well for someone born into his position, so the idea that he makes for a great president based on his business acumen seems unfounded.
He might walk into the Whitehouse with or without shoes, or maybe with shoes without laces, there are too many supporters to discount, and Biden isn't exactly an inspirational leader, so it isn't outside the realm of possibility. I do think he would be a worse president in round two than he was in round one, and America would waste the next 4 years. I can understand why conservatives might think it would be a win, but ask yourself this: what has Republican leadership really done in the last 7 years, 4 with the presidential office, and 4 with a congressional advantage? Trump is a terrible leader for Republicans, and worse for America.
I voted against him before, and hoped he would prove me wrong when he won, but, no, he sucks at actually leading. He only knows commanding, like he does with Trump Inc. He knows very little about governing over a large and diverse country.

 

They just had to flatter him while laughing behind his back.....

 

You and your ilk don't get it..... This makes Trump stronger, not weaker... a man who stands up to this injustice is the very thing the American voters want as a president.

 

Just like Putin. That's part of why I don't actually think the TikTok CEO bribed Trump. It wouldn't be necessary. Trump folds like a cheap suit (an apt description of him) to any kind of flattery.

 

Only to those that can't see the forest from the trees.....only way he walks into the WH again is to thank Ole' Joey for pardoning him !

 

You don't know squat my friend... and that is a fact you can not dispute...

 

I think I understand the thought process, but you've picked the wrong 'savior'. Accepting change isn't optional, it's inevitable.

 

Why don't you explain it to me? I'm not pretending to know squat, I'm explaining my opinion. That is a fact.

 

Tech mogul, real estate mogul, tv mogul, semi model, billionaire playboy

 

You are awfully generous with that "tech mogul" part. Real estate mogul? Yes! . . . of a fraudulent real estate organization. TV mogul? Yes, I will give you that one, as I already said. Semi-model . . . ooookaaay? Billionaire? Again, completely unimpressive given what he started with, and not likely to last much longer at this rate.

But, overall, a con man in all that he does. But, hey, some people admire that.

 

MIGHT have something to do with temperament and targeting.. I'm thinking he, Trump, being part of the then DNC cool kids at the time and the MSM bombard the airwaves with We WUV Donny 24/7 was instrumental in the transformation..

Ahhhh but once he made the transition to Republican party, the MSM began their hate Trump mantra we see today.. It happens subtly and as the message saturated the targeted group hatred ensues..

 

He literally started his campaign by hiring actors to pretend to be his fans. Dude deserves the criticism. The Trump worship mantra we see today is all about sharing in his saturating hatred.

 

I don’t know what you mean by half of your post — I also don’t claim to be able to predict the future so I have no idea who will win this election (which is sad for a ton of reasons).

But done worry, if you are wrong I will not forget to remind you

 

Ahh so now you know all about his past

 

Why? Are you derailing with a grammar thing..

 

How do you know he didn't? That sort of thing could change in quick minutes..

 

Why are you calling him a legend for this revelation. Just a day ago he was emailing his supporters asking them for $5, $10, $25 to keep Jame's filthy hands off Trump tower. If he just happen to be able to find 1/2 billion in his sofa cushions should be begging his supporters for small donations. Someone that has 1/2 billion kicking around that he does not even know about and he is asking people who have mortgages, rent, on fixed income etc... to donate what they can. Is this a legend or just someone who has a grand sense of entitlement and doesn't care about others. Will he return all of those small donations now that he just happened to find 1/2 billion kicking around?

 

Terrific. Come Monday, he will have satisfied the legal requirements. All good. You can relax. Have a Bud.

 

Slightly unfair - there was that trademark deal with Ivanka. I'm sure that was worth something.

 

Oh? Really...
WHEN is he planning on takihg the tour?

Speaking of the $500 Million (which is the actual topic of the OP):
Monday's Deadline is bound to be quite interesting...

 

He isn’t even allowed to pledge the shares for months. And if news leaked out that he was planning to pledge the shares, the price would tank.

My guess is that 3 billion in paper value might end up being worth 500 million. And I understand he invested about 400 million, but I could be wrong about that.

 

If he has scraped together the money - do you care where it came from?

 

Self financing his campaign? Are you joking?

As far as I know, he hasn’t spent a single dime of his own money so far, and has given no indication he intends to do so. All indications are to the contrary.

 

Yeah...
And, Trump claiming...

"a substantial amount of which I intended to use in my campaign for president," Trump wrote

...is just another grift to suck people dry...
