Old and In the Way

The Trump brand...

it is toast. If it had stock value, it has gone from $500/share to less than the cost of the paper it was printed on.

Such a smart guy to run for POTUS, given his record of business failures and bankruptcies. He was never "self made"...he was backstopped by his father than other people's money. His Foundation was a self dealing scam. He was a self-deluded narcissist that thought he could win the office with a Twitter account and an empty slogan. And we still don't know who is holding the paper on his debt...a debt that he will never be able to pay back. And, after all this, the Party he rented for the campaign still backed him. Until today. Because the Party that has institutionalized their war on women with draconian legislation, just can't countenance the crass, juvenile language Trump used on the tape.

Trump will lose bigly, but his political woes are minuscule compared to the financial damage and criminal indictments he will be facing in 2017 and beyond. He is finished and he only needs to look in a mirror to find the person responsible for his demise.

No one is outraged that those "words" were a taped confession to sexual harassment at least and sexual assault at worst...and he BRAGGED about it.
The GOP is sorry for the words he chose, not the criminal acts he committed.

he decided to run out of anger, to get even with all the people who laughed at him during the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Spiteful, vindictive, petty narcissist. The very definition of hubris.

Obama publically humiliated him. It was never about making America great again....it was about making Donald's ego great again. Obama will have the last laugh when he hands over the WH keys to Hillary.

He is forever a joke, his name is now a punchline for all time. His legacy is of making his name synonymous with sexual assault, idiocy, and being a loser.
