35. Perhaps China will revoke the patents they gave Ivanka and Trump Org. to add to their misery.
Wed Oct 21, 2020, 09:05 AM
Oct 2020

Once Trump is no longer president and unable to rob the US Treasury blind, he will declare Trump Org. bankruptcy within months. His businesses will continue to suffer because people here and around the world hate him and will not stay in his hotels. His rich Mar-a-Lago friends will desert him because he can no longer give them tax cuts or share secret information to help them game the stock market. His legal bills will go through the roof to defend against future NY indictments and possibly federal ones if he hasn’t been pardoned. And once Trump’s loans that he personally signed come due, he may have to declare personal bankruptcy unless he has stashed a huge part of that $1+ billion campaign fund somewhere offshore, which I think he probably has done (along with the missing millions from his inauguration fund).

Trump will have to pay for his own lavish lifestyle once he leaves the White House. It’s great when taxpayers have to pay roughly $3 million every time Trump uses Air Force One, which is all the time, but costly when you have to pay for your own plane. And now that Melania has a revised prenup, she may well take a chunk of money and leave. After all, there’s not much there for her by staying with Trump. The world will not welcome she and Trump the way it has the Obamas.

Trump’s rabid supporters cannot bail him out because they have too little money. And once his usefulness to Russia is gone, he won’t be getting more money from Putin. He might be able to work with the Russian mob to continue laundering money for them, but a DOJ with a real AG might be looking for that.

I look forward to seeing Trump and his corrupt family get their just rewards.
