(10,252 posts)Not. What? Trump doesn't pay his bills? Who knew? (Just about every one
)
Super-low attendance doesn't pay the bills either. So how many bankruptcies does this make
now? 7? 8? 9? One would think that people would just stop doing any business with him, because everything he touches dies.

(24,207 posts)So, they can't pay their bills and they're petitioning the courts to have the taxpayers bail them out.
I wonder what their stance on student debt relief is.

And then declaring bankruptcy basically running to the government and robbing from the rest of us because American Freedom tour, can't pay their bills
Love that American freedom tour's bankruptcy is denied and they just crumble into financial ruin

(10,297 posts)did not have fluorescent orange skin, sunrise glowing blonde comb-over with a twist, a Confederate flag clown suit, big white clown shoes with swastikas, and wearing a sign that warned: "If you touch me, you die."
But, his vendors did not see anything that gave them pause.

(1,654 posts)Despite the way they push the crowds together for the TeeVee. Oh, look at the crowds! They are often the same people, the die hards, traveling to his rallies. Also, so many of the people attending already have enough merch so they probably aren't buying the crappy made in China stuff. Many of the others who still believe in him don't have the money to travel from rally to rally. He's already hoovered up their money, though most don't care.
