You can never say that Trump is dull. He’s always choosing new paths. Consider the following:
- On November 15, he announced his intention to run for president in 2024. This would be a joke if it wasn’t so sad. Many “Trumpers’ salivated at the though that their hero might actually regain his throne. FYI—NO WAY !!!! The GOP knows he’s a loser. He proved that in 2020 and again by supporting 15 out of 24 candidates who lost in the midterms. He’s history. Listen to the GOP leadership. They will move on so should the “followers’ who fail to see Trump’s motives. He simply needs money to pay his legal bills and to run his company. The sooner the core trumpers realize his scam the sooner we can all put a lid on his future. We even think that GOP leadership will quietly help the Department of Justice to convict him so they can clear the stage for the “new” Republican Party.
- In concert with the Trump legal problems, a “Special Counsel” has been appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to oversee and make recommendations regarding the January 6th riot and the theft of classified documents found at Mar-A-Lago. Mr. Garland is apparently concerned that without some form of “arms-length” investigator his actions would be criticized as political because Trump wants to be president again. Bottom line: The Special Counsel reports to Garland and he works for Biden. So–no matter what Garland does–a resulting indictment and conviction will be deemed “political”. (keep in mind that Trump’s AG, Bill Barr, was criticized because he did the bidding of the former president until he “got religion” after the 2020 election.) Mr. Garland is trying to share the spotlight (or double the number of targets) by appointing Jack Smith, an eminently qualified legal expert–who just happens to be a Democrat. Do you think that label will prove objectivity to the nut jobs who question the investigations? Again the GOP would win the day by helping the DOJ flush Trump and clear the stage for the next generation of Republicans to 2024.
- The final Trump comment is more of a business observation. During the 2008 financial meltdown the term “too big to fail” was headlined in reference to large companies and particularly banking institutions. The 2008 concern was that the Federal Government could not let the money industry fail without jeopardizing the entire country and its economic base. Despite this, several large companies did fail and were bailed out–like General Motors and AIG. We think the Trump organization is a concern because the assets held by Trump all seem so mortgaged (because their stated values were OVERSTATED) that they could not survive a bankruptcy filing. Like dominoes–if one property fails–all mortgage holders may rush to protect their “investments” and collapse the entire Trump world. This would have far-reaching results. Banks would either fail or have serious bottom line (profit) problems; bank CEO’s and Boards would be pressured by shareholder groups to resign; many employees would be unemployed; suppliers of various products would go bankrupt or cut back their employment; the list goes on. The point is: are we on the edge of a financial abyss where Trumps’ conviction on ANY charge could trigger a major financial event? It might only affect New York and Florida but still a financial tsunami would cost taxpayers dearly in those states. Is Trump “too big to fail” in some parts of the country? More directly, is this possibility entering into the thought process of investigating authorities?
