Want some good news about TFG? Yahoo: "Trump in advanced talks to sell D.C. hotel."

This means:

He is hurting for money. aka broke And he has a reported $500 million balloon payment coming
up. (see the Steele Dossier ... pee pee tapes .... which said that Trump was highly leveraged and
he owes money to China, Saudi Arabia, and to Russia/Russian mobsters)


He knows he will never be President again so Trump has been and still is lying to his MAGA morons, Proud Boys, Oath
Keepers, Fox News Watchers, and so on about being President again. But by all means "they" can keep on sending him
money, flying their Trump flags, and getting sick and dying from that hoax called C-19. I wonder if they will catch on that
TFG is a con man?

He or his company does not own the hotel building but what they do have is a 60 year lease on the
building and the brokerage firm trying to to sell that lease is asking for $500 million which they will
not get. This is the 2nd brokerage firm that has been shopping the 60 year lease the first brokerage
firm quit doing business w/Trump after the 1/6/21 riot.

Trump will never have a good day for the rest of his life.

Yahoo: Trump in advanced talks to sell D.C. hotel

Former President Trump is in advanced talks to sell rights to his Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., sources tell Axios.

Why it matters: The removal of Trump’s big, golden name from Pennsylvania Avenue would be a symbolic bombshell savored by opponents.

Sources said the former president is likely to get less than the $500 million he was reportedly seeking in 2019.

snip

When Trump left office, The Washington Post reported that the D.C. hotel had a $170 million loan outstanding, and had seen revenue drop more than 60 percent compared to the previous year.

The original commercial real estate brokerage firm, Jones Lang LaSalle Inc., dropped out following the Capitol riot, Bloomberg reported.

Eight months after the attempted coup, he continues to roam free and spout his crap.

People here say to be patient, I've got none left.

For all his corruption in use to strong-arm foreign visitors, it has been a big loss for him.

The little wifey announced she's not on board for another president campaign. She takes passive aggressive to a new level.

It means that Trump will never be President again and he knows that although that hasn't stopped
in the past or in the future from grifting the shit out of his stupid ass MAGA rube followers.

the 80-year lease he has rights to. Even collecting years of tacit bribes from businesses and other nations by encouraging them to rent there didn't keep him from running yet another of many businesses into the ground in remarkably short time. First time he used pandemic disease to hurry it along, though.

"It means that Trump will never be President again..." Guessing it won't be exactly reassuring to his voters.

14. Right after he became President China ran a quick $20 million through his D.C. Hotel and then ...

... the Trump company cut a check for about $15 million to Donny which he then parked that
money into a bank in China. I think that is right but after a while it is really hard to keep all of
Trump and Companies scams, grifts, bribes, thefts, and cons straight.

But what does piss me off is that our great "liberal media" knew all about how mobbed up and
what a loser of a businessman TFG was but barely talked about that but boy howdy did we hear
about Hillary and her emails.

Many major MSM became blatantly corrupted right along with the Republican Party.

Just Security counts

13 serious CIVIL suits
16 CRIMINAL cases/investigation

Most criminal "probes" are just begun and resolution probably far off. They don't include a whole landfill full of stinky cases in which tRump is unlikely to be implicated directly (bedbugs in his hotels, etc)
