Drumpf inherited $450M from dad in the 1970s. If he'd simply put all of it into an index fund or other conservative investment, he really would be worth $10B or more today. Worst "businessman" ever and one of the worst human beings in the world.
100%. At the same time they are actively voting against their best interests just because they identify with his behavior. Sad. Biden actually IS for the middle class worker, and I’m not a Biden fan at all, but he’s eons more qualified and better at his job than Trump. It’s not even close.
The question though is what bondsman has 90 meillion laying around to risk. It would more likely come from some wealthy sycophant.
I half wonder if he will get some subservient governor who wants to prove his loyalty to be VP to give him state funds through some ridiculous bill.
Or simply have the state back it. The state's guarantee would probably be sufficient to meet whatever the standards are for the bond although it's got to be novel. No way that something like that has happened before and that there is existing language for.
No risk if collateral is good and collateral should be worth more than bond. Bonding companies (Zurich) have no qualms posting bonds if they can get 4x on the collateral if they have to foreclose
Yep, the policies were never thought out or strategic to help the country. Trying to overturn the ACA without a replacement would leave millions without insurance. Who advised that? Withdrawing from the Iran deal without a plan gave Iran the green light to nukes. Brilliant. Abandoning the TPP and starting a global trade war hurt growth in the APAC region, added a huge tax on the country, and required a rescue to farmers. How was that strategic? Etc. Etc. Competent advisers left in frustration or were demonized because Trump believes he's the only voice in the room.
He ran a casino into bankruptcy. Takes a special level of talent to go bankrupt when the cards are literally stacked in your favor.
Here's an interesting new development uncovered by the court special monitor in his business fraud case. Trump may have been committing tax evasion over several years. Special monitor suggests Trump falsified disclosures over $48 million loan in what could be tax evasion, report says
