Will his foreign friends bail out Trump? [View all]
The Twitter-verse (should we say "X-verse) and the socialistcommieliberal media are all cranked up about how Trump must come up with $1/2 billion by 5:00 PM Monday or the NY AG will seize everything Trump owns, down to Melania's underwear drawer and the golf carts at Mar-A-Lago.
Ah, but never fear!!! Trump's close friends will bail him out -- Saudis, Putin, Orban, China . . .
I doubt it. Of course, I've been wrong about as often as I've been right, but, let's cut through the crap.
As much as Putin, Orban, and the Saudis -- and likely the Chinese -- would like to see Trump win in November, they are not stupid people. They are hard-headed thugs who have survived this long by not being stupid. They all recognize that Trump is a terminally stupid dumbass flash in the pan.
They know Trump is not a sure thing in November. In fact, as we are seeing here, they, too, are seeing -- 20% more or less of Republican voters do not want Trump. 35% of Republicans will cut off their own genitals to vote for Trump, 25-30% will hold their noses and vote for him, but that leaves 25-30% of GOP voters who will (1) leave their presidential vote blank, or, (2) hold their noses and vote for Biden. Putin, Orban, Saudis, Chinese -- they are not as stupid as the NYT editorial staff and they likely have decided Trump will lose and he is not worth $450 million.
Besides, Putin, Orban, Saudis, Chinese likely have decided they must co-exist with Biden for another four years and there is no benefit to them to piss off ol' Joe.
My conclusion: Trump can beg, plead, piss and moan all he wants. When Trump's lawyers call asking for the loan of half-a-billion, his close friends in Russia, Hungary, China, MidEast, will answer "Hello . . . Trump? Trump who? You must have a wrong number." Click.
