The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: Old man yells at cloud, presidential edition.

I still remember the multi-minute ad from Obama during the last stretch of the Obama/McCain battle.

Rookie move not to get Biden a better quality mic. May have cost himself the election.

Exactly. I think people are looking at this all wrong. The whole goal of running for Pres in the first place was to enrich himself. The fact that his campaign is near bankrupt is a testament to how thoroughly he was able to take money from the campaign and put it in his (and his kidsā€™) pocket.

Florida Man losing is actually the very best thing for him in this regard. If he loses this time, he is super unlikely to win again in the future. However, he can keep running for pres repeatedly since he will still be eligible for one more term. So the Trump for Pres campaign can run until he dies, and he can grift off of it forever. Trumpkins will donate to any Trump for Pres campaign until the day he dies (and even that might not stop them).

However, if he wins, then he canā€™t run again (Iā€™m ignoring scenarios where he just changes the rules, which I suppose weā€™re drawing live to, but weā€™ll set them aside for a moment), so he canā€™t have a campaign and he canā€™t grift from it. Now that would be the worst loss of all for him financially.

The same reason he uses Fortunate Son. Completely oblivious to everything.

Itā€™s a catchy tune. He has no idea about what the song is about and who the Village People are. He also doesnā€™t know enough of the lyrics or have the mental acuity to figure it out.

Grunch, missed opportunity 4 hours ago!

I think this is a really good point. Although if he wins he will immediately start campaigning for 2024.

Yikes. Over $300M going to limited liability (shell) corporations.

less so this time because early votezzzz and few undecideds.

but less money might mean fewer lawyers for the appeals.

i guess he already bought all the judges though

Fun to listen to this old interview with Chapelle. This was shortly after he had signed but not yet abandoned a deal for $50 million to produce season 3 of Chapelle Show. But most noteworthy for this thread is that this interview happened during the 2004 election for Bush vs Kerry, and Chapelle spends the first few minutes eviscerating Republicans.

I lolā€™d. For real. Broke me out of some irl drama bs.

But wait I was told in those Trump emails there would be a 8x match.

Not that it will ever matter but these 825% MATCH emails have to be completely illegal right?
