Sooo....

Loved by millions, hated by millions more, and still one of the most powerful men in the world, at least for a little longer. What could he do in his desperate remaining days?

What does a man with the power of a king do when his back is against the wall, the coffers are almost bare, and the enemy is at the gate?

You know, he could have just continued being a slimy, obnoxious businessman on a reality show and above the interest of law enforcement for his crooked businesses. Another decade or a bit til he dropped dead of a McDonalds induced heart attack.

But no, he had to be president out of sheer racism against Obama and ego trip.

This is likely only for a few weeks while people forget. The most criminal and corrupt bank on the planet isn't going to turn away the most corrupt and criminal rich people on the planet.

He's not that rich, and there is a new administration planning some new financial regulations they need to keep under the radar from. With all the investigations they will be pouring over his books they have with him, and depending on how bad it looks they might audit and ask for all their books. They don't want that smoke, Russian Oligarchs and Chinese CCP members are much more discrete.

He's gone, I am just wondering if they will just write off the debt as a loss giving him an 'out'.

What's crazy is that it is self inflicted. Again he just needed to concede and he would've had a massive influence in the GOP for years. But his pea brain just can't do it.

If he had taken Covid seriously, encouraged lockdowns, pushed for stimulus sooner and even just asked his followers to wear a mask, there was a non-zero chance he could have won a second term. Now his brand will be ruined, he'll likely be broke, he'll be lucky to stay out of jail, and he fractured the Republican party - all because he's a narcissist, unable to stop thinking about himself long enough to think even a little bit ahead.

America is a laughing stock currently (I mean for a long time) but it's kinda worth it to see this fuck get a million cuts. Please keep it up! I've been sleeping very, very well.

I swear, it just kind of feels like it's all going to lead to him just saying fuck it and jump out of a window in the end right before or after Biden officially takes office tbh. I doubt Trump is someone who would actually go through with something like that, though, but I really don't know how he could even function with being truly cut off to the level he has been.
He'd fuck that up by jumping out a first floor window at the residence

Well we saw what Hitler did in the end.

More likely he's made an example of and they seize his assets. They have to do it every once and a while so no one gets ideas

His life and his reputation is crumbling around him and all he had to do was not throw a tantrum about the election.

Im reminded of that pic of when he won the election back in 2016 and looking dejected as hell. LOL, I bet he would give anything to go back in time and not run.

And the dude would have gotten the GOP nomination uncontested in 2024. Probably would have had his image rehabbed between now and then too. While those things maybe could still happen, it's far less likely now.

Non American here. For the past 2 plus years, this forum has been my main source of US politics news. So I've shared your frustration during the many times when this administration seem to have got away Scott free with things that they were doing.
The past few days have been very liberating to say the least. It's good to know that actions still have consequences- even if it comes at the end

I'm only half joking when I say that I worry about him going full scorched earth. Not anything insane like trying to launch a nuke, but he could always order a hit on someone that could start an international conflict. He still can do executive orders, and federal pardons. He still has the intelligence and power access of the presidency.

Have we even heard a peep from his shitty kids in the last few days? I bet they're all stunned and have no clue how to proceed from here.

Let's ruin this man's life a little further. It's not like we have to hold back given his age. Evil people don't tend to die so quickly, ie: Mitch/Rupert

In many ways Trump is like Vegeta. An evil jackass who pushes the limits, and then let's his opponent get stronger so he gets wrecked, all in the name of pride.

With how things are evolving, I imagine he is being ignored by everyone around him right now. When the shit hits the fan, people generally look out for themselves, and I don't think many would die on the Trump hill now.

Some morons, yes, but not the people that were in this disaster for the money and the profits.

Remember he's an idiot. I'd never imagine any human would do any of the dumb shit he does, but here we are. If there's anyone with the ego to fathom beating back his issues it's him. And it'll be a joy watching him lose his way into a grave.

Yup, I thought about the same thing. It's been a wild ass 4 years.
He is getting lit the fuck up lmao

All his debts are coming due, he is insolvent, he has no incomes sources that will dig him out of the hole he is in. The one group that has been bailing him out is Russia and they are done with him.

He's absolutely fucked.

Yeah, he could have probably rode his post-presidency momentum into actually launching Trump TV, an entire channel dedicated to his ego, his lies, and misinformation, and he probably would have got some advertisers/investors on board. Now? Guess those same advertisers will just stick with Fox News.

im concerned this is going to break him into doing something even more dangerous.

This is like the ending of casino for him, when the mob decided to get rid of everyone.
