He already looks like a loser.
That ship has sailed.
What a loser
This would be bankruptcy number seven-ish?
Trump has never declared personal bankruptcy. This would be a huge blow to him, as everything from his business empire to his personal wealth, would be gone.
I wish, but I'm sure he parked ample sums with his children and in-laws. He'll never be poor, if only because he'd rather be dead.
A smart person would’ve done that. Trump is neither smart nor generous.
Didn't his son in law get billions from Saudi despots in return for access to classified documents?
That’s probably why he got those billions. Which raises an interesting question: why isn’t Jared helping him out?

He’d apparently rather have his assets seized by the New York attorney general.
He can use the footage of the sheriffs locking up his properties during the seizures to fund raise. It doesn't hit the same if he declares bankruptcy for the 7th time in his life.
He should leave some pond cake out. Maybe he can make a hit music video with the camera footage.

He's going to squeeze those rubes dry eventually.
His campaign fundraising is already falling behind Biden's.
The problem is I think they have been bled dry. They had some savings and assets, but the last few years they have been cashing them in to go to rally's and donate to Trump, expecting to get it back 10x return.
It's gonna be ugly when reality hits them, and that's why this is going to be so dangerous and most likely turn violent. Hopefully the violence can be contained , but many of his supporters simply won't accept reality that he is unpopular outside of their make believe world.

Trump is giving way too much credit to his supporters, who openly don't care about his previous 6 bankruptcies, and have even ridiculously tried to spin said bankruptcies to their GodEmperorDaddy's credit.
I thought filing for bankruptcy was smart? Isn't that what he said before about his previous bankruptcies?
Different kinds of bankruptcy, but essentially he said they were smart, business decisions: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2015/sep/21/carly-fiorina/trumps-four-bankruptcies/
"Hundreds of companies" have filed for bankruptcy, Trump said earlier in the debate. "I used the law four times and made a tremendous thing. I'm in business. I did a very good job."
That quote sounds like a toddler talking about their bowel movements.
I’m in business. I did a very good job.”
Is Trump just three kids in a trenchcoat?
What? No way. Trump supports would just say Trump is smart for going bankrupt.

News flash: He's a loser
Did losing the presidency after I've term not make him look like a lost already?
His followers don’t think he lost, remember. Most of them still think he’s president.
Sadly, and strangely, this is true. Although, ironically, they’re still voting for him.
They are not voting for a third term president. They’re voting for a forever term dictator.

This dude will unlock all xbox/steam/Playstation achievements in one go.
Most bankrupted businessman Most charged ex president in history Most impeached president in history Told most lies in one presidential term (in history)
And the list goes on and on and on.
Most anti-american president in history.
I don't understand how he has supporters when he constantly goes on about how great Russia is. Aren't you guys supposed to be mortal enemies or something.

Look like?
I’ll pay attention when I see assets getting seized.
Breaking News: Trump officially a loser!
It would be such a beautiful sight if he'd finally trip over his own ego.
Wouldn’t it?
Is there a limit on how many times one can declare bankruptcy?
Surely he has hit it by now.
All t hat winning must get exhausting.
I don't know why he would be worried about bankruptcy making him look bad. It's never bothered him before........
Only his businesses have declared bankruptcy before. He’s never declared personal bankruptcy. If you declares his personal bankruptcy, his whole empire could come crumbling down.
“He thinks about what is going to play politically well for him. Bankruptcy doesn’t play well for him, but having her try to take his properties might.” While Trump may actually be right about that—it’s not hard to imagine him convincing his supporters that he’s the unjust victim of government tyranny, claiming America has devolved into a communist hellhole, and telling people they’ll be next—he is, of course, no stranger to bankruptcy protection.
I disagree that he thinks bankruptcy doesn't play well for him. He'll probably play the victim card for the ruling and try to spin bankruptcy as some kind of genius financial 'turning-of-the-tables'. He knows he can spin it any way he wants to his base but is too narcissistic to acknowledge anyone else could see through it.
I mean, that is the only play he could make, of course, but his image of a big, strong, brilliant business billionaire will be very difficult to maintain while he is sitting in the poorhouse. He will be stripped of his entire identity of anything other than a big fat, drooling, dumb ass crybaby. I don’t know that his supporters will be very interested in voting for that anymore.

He can spin however he likes to his base, don't care. Once the money is yanked, his true power is yanked. That's why he's panicking.
Little people can worship him as the Messiah, but the big dogs will fall away fast. Once he loses the big money support, he's done.
I can't imagine that bankruptcy would dissolve his public judgements anyway.
Are we seeing a repeat of 2016?
Winning was secondary to setting up a nice grift...
Taking over the RNC to siphon money off for legal bill instead of using those resources for down ballot races.
One would think that Donnie could get someone to post his bond with a lean against his truth social windfall.
Letting NY seize a few properties is good theater.
Declaring personal bankruptcy could have unintended consequences
Yes ... THAT'S what would make him look like a loser...
Wouldn't he also have most of his assets seized if he declared bankruptcy?
I don't understand how somebody could be bankrupt, yet still be allowed to own all those gaudy buildings?
