So I'm watching a guy on CNN (Jonathon Greenberg?) who worked for...

Forbes.

He says a Forbes cover saying Trump was broke and the story that he was underwater was killed when Trump threatened to release a fake story about Malcolm (who had died a couple of months before).

And, he got a top casino a analyst fired after he reported that with all the debt and bad management, there was absolutely no way Trump could make it. After the guy was fired and "revised" numbers came out, Trump took it public. And we know what happened then.

Now we hear he banishes his chief of staff from the room for coughing.

Nixon was a heaven sent angel compared to this guy.

Such a selfish empty prerk and yet the GOP base fell for it

I also remember that when he divorced Marla, one of the local gossip rags advised her to "cash the check while it's still good."

He sued and the legal costs crushed the rag.

So how many billions is he really in debt to Putin and other criminals? I think he's in debt a lot more than anyone could imagine, and all his claims of wealth and being a good businessman are again lies while he project the opposite of the truth, or another con job . Think repeated tax fraud and money laundering , and fraud by not paying contractors, and for services. That's his business model.

Bankruptcies like that are simply legalized stealing - screw creditors, screw suppliers, screw contractors, screw employees, screw customers, screw taxpayers. Greedy bastards who take advantage of the system like that are truly sickening.

Not surprised one bit. Trump desperately cons his way to forge an image to con the American people. What’s shocking is how many fall for it.

No doubt, ugly threats have been passed along to the Democrats just doing their oversight jobs. The GOP knew exactly who they were giving the American people with this monstrous, mobbed-up con artist. Steve Bannon had it right when he commented about Mueller and not sending a marine to do a hit man’s job.
