So how will Dump cash in on this disaster?

[thegoose]

You know he's thinking about it. I think it'll involve vast amounts of money to pay for us to live.

1. Short selling airline stocks nt

[Under The Radar]

2. My guess is he that he extend the crisis ....

.... through the summer increase the hype and cancel the election due to national security risk.

[old guy]

3. I have thought about this too.

[malaise]

5. States run elections

he has no say in that

[mr_lebowski]

4. Given that whole purpose of Trump's so-called University was cashing on foreclosures ...

In other words making fat coin by offering lie-filled, half-assed, highly-overpriced 'training' in how to profit off other people's misery ... the Bronze course of seminars was $10,000, and the 'Gold' one was $35,000.

Their marks were heavily pressured to max out their credit cards and taught the best way to get increases in their credit limits, pressured to borrow money from friends and family, kid's college funds, 401k's, etc ... because attending there was such a 'business opportunity', 'enrolling' in this 'University' where you 'learn from' the illustrious 'billionaire' Donald J. Trump, you'd end up getting all the money back, and many $1000's more!!!1!

So ... what you suppose would be par for the course, without a doubt.

6. give test kit contract to someone for a kick back

[Totally Tunsie]

7. It wouldn't surprise me if he's already cornered the market on N95 masks

that he'll release to the public as soon as the price is high enough. Maybe he could put Eric in charge - he doesn't seem to have anything else to do. Would have suggested Malaria, but she's tied up with the tennis pavilion project.

8. He'll get Congress to approve a government bailout for hotels and resorts.

9. CDC said it wanted to make it's own test.

I read that drumpf had to have a deal for himself before America could even start to get ready for the looming pandemic. It's causing so many issues, they are saying Quest and Labcorp will have these tests (bad move, better at dr & not require another trip) but AFAIK, the written protocols haven't been changed and communicated appropriately so testing isn't going to get better until Hair Furor gets out of the way and stops his killing agenda.

10. Do a lousy job handling Corona virus so oil/gasoline prices crash

and Trump's base dance for joy at $2.00 gasoline.

[duforsure]

11. By numerous ways

Using funds by giving contractors who'll funnel money into his campaign, which will get into his pockets, and having the GOP try to pass emergency funding to businesses (his) to profit from it .

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Using the John Paulson single sheet of paper

Bailout method. My guess is a billion and a haft. As well as take care of his Hospitality donors like his pal in Portland who took a hit from the Ukrainian screw up.
