How long before Trump attempts to declare bankruptcy?

[EarlG]

Since he’s running the government just like one of his businesses, wouldn’t the next logical step be for him to declare bankruptcy and walk away?

Come on, Donald. This is the part where you stop fighting and quit!

1. i think this is the great plan

run up so much debt that the sale of federal assets, national parks and such, (at cut rate prices) starts looking like a good idea.

2. Oh gosh . . . .

3. Yes, and maybe New York could forgive him if he goes?

I would go along with a deal like that just to be rid of his regime .

4. tRump

I think he’ll be safely out of the country in a few weeks. I think he’s been offshoring cash for a while. He’ll leave the debts and properties here. Do you think that the $1 billion commission tRump made off the sale of Putin’s interest in Rosneft ever made it to the US? I doubt it

5. When we see those tax returns

there goes his credit score.

6. He thinks the government can just print more money to deal with a debt crisis,

so he won't be declaring bankruptcy this time around.

7. I was thinking more of his

moral, spiritual, and political bankruptcy.

8. :) He wouldn't know what you're talking about, of course.

Pelosi said that, when the master dealmaker called to see if they couldn't just make this go away, he was surprised that she thought what he did was wrong.

9. Moral bankruptcy? Credibility bankruptcy?

Fill in the blank bankruptcy

10. Like in The Office?

11. Moral bankruptcy?

That's an easy one.

12. On a related note, what ever happened to the Trump Organization's CFO, Allen

Weisselberg? It seems like he just dropped off the radar. I'm sure he knows where all the bodies are buried as far as Trump's finances are concerned, and maybe more. Why hasn't anyone subpoenaed him to get the dirt on Trump and family's dirty dealings?

13. Who owns the debt? 32.5%

14. Donald recommended defaulting on the national debt.

Donald recommended defaulting on the national debt.

Negotiating with the creditors to take less money.

Don’t forget that much of America’s debt is owned by Americans, not just the Chinese and other foreigners .
