Yeah, it was the politics that prevented the Trumps from getting loans. I wonder if they believe their own lies.

Don't Jr. 100% believes his own lies. He also thinks those are his real teeth and he's never even seen cocain in person.

Nothing will get through to them. Nothing.

  • Global warming is fake.
  • The insurance industry and the United States military are planning around it.

Call capitalist industries and the military woke. Dare.

Sort of like how the '08 banking crisis was caused because banks couldn't make enough money? So they had to overextend themselves? It's almost like regulation stunts billionaires' future profits!

Good catch, dude!

Also having banks refuse to lend to you while having significant assets is known as having a F credit rating

F as in "get Fucked"

Elect me President and I will declare them all a national security threat, round them up, cut off both arms and one leg, and throw them into a muddy pit together to live out the rest of their lives as worms.

I mean yeah, no one with a brain inside their skull trusts the Trump family.

Now we have to live the rest of our lives knowing half of Americans are dumber than the closest inanimate object to you right now.

That comparison is still very offensive to my Throbulator 3000. If it wanted to fuck the economy, it would do a much better job.
