All you have to do is make a life altering choice, be ridiculed by half of society in your most formative years, take drugs that forever reshape your body, and YOU TOO CAN WIN AT SWIMMING!

Should have listened to Al Gore: Lockbox

Is Pliny “The Elder” or “The Younger”?

All it takes is money to hire someone who is capable.

Definately 7’ 8" female. Asian descent. Bald. Possible Alopecia. Dwarfism.

True, he straight up admits many times in the books that he would lie about his wealth so that other people would work with him. I assume that came out during his fraud case in NY.

He had a few deals that worked out - all starting with dad’s money. He managed to squander 4 out of 5 of everything he tried. Casinos in Atlantic City, Trump University, Trump Steaks, Trump Ice, Wollman Rink, etc. It’s a long list. But the 1 or 2 that worked is why he has any money at all. If I remember correctly, it’s mostly the golf courses and an option he bought in the 70s for an old railroad yard in lower west side Manhatten I think. He really fucked someone over on that one. He bragged about how much he screwed them for pages and pages. Like it brought him more joy to fuck someone over than it did to have a success. He’s a complete psychopath.

I already bought the books + it was like watching a car accident. I just couldn’t believe this guy was a successful businessman.

The first 5 or so of Trump’s books. No meaningful lessons in business to be had. Just him bragging about people he knew, people he’d screwed over, how good he thought he was at pretty much everything. How he got back at anyone who crossed him. Insufferable. I knew he was one of the worst people ever before he even mentioned getting into politics.

And in those 5 books, he probably name-dropped every New York socialite he ever met. It’s consistent with his whole image of self-worth and needing to look and feel important. You know who he didn’t mention? Someone we’ve seen him with in several photos? Who he definitely would have mentioned if there wasn’t a reason not to? Jeffrey Epstein.

Yea, I read it. I’m not buying it.

I feel like this is just gift wrapping being a dumb racist hick in prettier paper. They are scared of cities because their full of black people, gays, and Mexicans. They like assholes who show the same level of hate as they do - who will keep the black people, gays, and Mexicans away. And they like someone who justifies hiding behind religion so they can tell themselves that God made them this dumb and rascist. So they can delude themselves into thinking they are really the good guy.

No way I’m taking bribes from “Big Antifa”!

We’re supposed to believe Ukraine gave away weapons to Hamas in the midst of being attacked? They kind of need those right now.

It needs to be a nobody. Frankly, probably an boring older white man, so people could picture them in the Pres seat if needed, but otherwise unremarkable. Keep the interest on Kamala.

Went down the rabbit hole on this guy a bit. He went on to participate in the CyberNinjas audit of Arizona’s ballots after the 2020 election. He claimed to have technology that could detect whether ballots had been folded in the mail, and claimed to detect bamboo in “fraudulent Chinese ballots”.

He was such a kook, the other kooks rejected him.

On a similar note for parents: At some point, you did/will pick your child up and then put them down for the last time.

Hear me out: Nuclear airplanes.

It works for the submarines. Think of the pros:

• Full power electric outlets at every seat instead of that bullcrap they have today
• Flight attendants can easily be trained as Nuclear Physicists
• If a meltdown does occur, it might very well recreate the entire plot of Donnie Darko.

Those are “de-escalation devices”. First, you beat them with thing 1. If that doesn’t calm them down, you stun them with thing 2. If they are still not calm, you shoot them with thing 3. Repeat until America great again.

He said that, then put Trump first. What did he do for America besides racist rhetoric, a few miles of border wall that apparently doesn’t work, and fast tracked a COVID vaccine you won’t take?
