How Much Other People's Money Has Trump Blown Through? Nobody Knows For Sure.
Trump keeps losing other people's money and his own due to his own colossal fuck-ups:

[QUOTE]Various tax law scholars have commented on the tax fraud allegations in the recent New York Times story. Equally important is the story's reminder that our housing finance system, and the real estate fortunes it has spawned, have depended for nearly a century on the largess of government.
Fred Trump, the president's father, built the fortune that Donald Trump inherited after avoiding or evading millions in estate and gift taxes.

[QUOTE]The Wall Street Journal on Sept. 23 reported that a 1985 casino-license document showed that Donald Trump owed his father and fathers businesses about $14 million.
In a 2007 deposition, Trump admitted he had borrowed a small amount from his fathers estate: I think it was like in the $9 million range. And as Trumps casinos ran into trouble, Trumps father also purchased $3.5 million in gaming chips but did not use them, so the casino would have enough cash to make payments on its mortgage a transaction that casino authorities later said was an illegal loan.[/QUOTE]He lost another shitload of money thanks to his laying the groundwork for, ushering in and exacerbating Trump's Pandemic:

The Covid-19 pandemic hit his fortunes hard, with Mr Trump's office buildings, branded hotels and resorts losing revenue and falling in value.

Trump's Rising Rates of Inflation Further Explained.
Or, as MAGAs would say, "better" for America. LOL.
[B]Trumps tariffs could squeeze U.S. factories and raise costs by up to 4.5%, a new analysis finds.
July 29, 2025[/B]
[URL]https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/trumps-tariffs-could-squeeze-u-s-factories-and-raise-costs-by-up-to-4-5-a-new-analysis-finds[/URL]
[QUOTE]"Theres going to be a cash squeeze for a lot of these firms, said Chris Bangert-Drowns, the researcher at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth who conducted the analysis. Those seemingly small changes at factories with slim profit margins, Bangert-Drowns said, could lead to stagnation of wages, if not layoffs and closures of plants if the costs are untenable.
..........
The U.S. stock market has shown relief the tariff rates arent as high as Trump initially threatened in April and hope for a sense of stability going forward. Trump maintains the tariff revenues will whittle down the budget deficit and help whip up domestic factory jobs, all while playing down the risks of higher prices.
Weve wiped out inflation, Trump said last Friday before boarding Marine One while on his way to Scotland.[/QUOTE]Uh, nope.
The S&P 500 Index has increased a paltry low of about 4% since Trump took office again 6 1/2 months ago. Hardly "soaring" as so many Winger and even a few typically pro-Repub Mainstream Media outlets has mischaracterized it in order to keep their jobs. In fact, it is one of the worst 1st year trends in a new administration's stock market results for an administration NOT taking over in the midst of a Great Repub Recession of other Great Repub Economic Disaster.
The rate of inflation has gone UP over the past few months under Trump, a reversal of the downward trend under Biden last year as Biden-Harris handed Trump the Envy of the World Economy.
[QUOTE]A June survey by the Atlanta Federal Reserve suggested companies would on average pass half of their tariff costs onto U.S. consumers through higher prices. Labor Department data shows America lost 14,000 manufacturing jobs after Trump rolled out his April tariffs, putting a lot of pressure as to whether a rebound starts in the June employment report coming out Friday.[/QUOTE]Welp. We all now know how that Friday jobs report turned out, continuing the Trump "economy" job creation trend of producing about 50% FEWER jobs per month than Biden's economy produced last year.
Again, what MAGAs would say is "better" for America. LOL.
[QUOTE][b]With new tariffs in place, there are new costs for factories[/b]
The Washington Center for Equitable Growth analysis shows how Trumps devotion to tariffs carries potential economic and political costs for his agenda. In the swing states of [b]Michigan and Wisconsin[/b], more than 1 in 5 jobs are in the critical sectors of manufacturing, construction, mining and oil drilling and maintenance that have high exposures to his import taxes.[/QUOTE]Oh, it is so sweet that Trump typically crap Repub economic policy and stewardship results will do very special damage to 2 of the only 3 Swing states that mattered in giving him that razor-thin election victory last year!
[QUOTE]"Were getting squeezed from all sides, said Justin Johnson, president of Jordan Manufacturing Co. in Belding, Michigan, northeast of Grand Rapids. His grandfather founded the company in 1949.
The company, which makes parts used by Amazon warehouses, auto companies and aerospace firms, has seen the price of a key raw material steel coil rise 5% to 10% this year.
Trump has imposed 50% tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. Jordan Manufacturing doesnt buy foreign steel. [B]But by crippling foreign competition,
Trumps tariffs have allowed domestic U.S. steelmakers to hike prices.[/b][/QUOTE]See, that's how it works in the real world. Not only at the wholesale and manufacturing level but at the retail level, too. Walmart is going to wonder why they should just raise prices only on their imported products in order to heal its profit margin wounds inflicted by Trump's numbskull Tarriff Import Taxes On America when there are also domestically produced items on its shelves that could, you know, heal those wounds much faster and easier by the simple act of raising those prices too.
That is, if those domestic manufacturers haven't already raised their prices. I mean, after all, the CEOs and employees at those domestic manufacturers are seeing and paying higher prices for imported items under Trump's Tariff Import Taxes too and, well, naturally need an increase in income to keep up with higher prices and higher rates of inflation.
Yep, what MAGAs claim is "better" for America.
[QUOTE][b]Trump says no inflation from tariffs, but businesses see higher prices[/b]
The Trump White House insists inflation is not surfacing in the economy, issuing a report through the Council of Economic Advisers this month saying the price of imported goods fell between December of last year and this past May. These findings contradict claims that tariffs or tariff-fears would lead to an acceleration of inflation, the report concludes.
Ernie Tedeschi, director of economics at the Budget Lab at Yale University, said that the more accurate measure would be to compare the trends in import prices with themselves in the past and that the CEAs own numbers show import prices have accelerated in recent months.
The latest estimate from the Budget Lab at Yale is [b]the tariffs would cause the average household to have $2,400 less than it would otherwise have.[/b][/QUOTE]Ah, now that is much, much "better" for America.
But no matter. All of those extra costs to the American Working Men and Women Consumers will be wiped out after Trump reduces the price of prescription drugs by "1,400%" and, consequently, everbody will MAKE SERIOUS MONEY by buying prescription drugs! Which I swear to god almighty he repeated again today to a gaggle of pretend reporters, none of whom had the least bit enough of a problem with the math on that to trigger an ordinary follow up question about it.
Then again, it is clear they cannot challenge Dictator Trump on any of the impossible numbers and blithering blathering bullshit that flows out of his lying pie hole by the minute and keep their job.

The glowing BLS Report days before the election that got revised down 900,000 after?
You remember that, right?
LOL. Well, if you do then you and the liars who keep repeating that Trump lie are more cognitively impaired than Joe Biden ever has been or will be over the next 4 years.
Uh. That never happened.
In fact, the BLS downward revision by 818,000 jobs was announced and fully reported in August of 2024, months before the election and, if anything, even though a downward revision of 818,000 jobs is a drop in the bucket of the millions upon millions more jobs Biden-Harris created beyond recovering all the millions of jobs Trump wiped out in his first term, it could be much more logically argued that BLS Report in August 2024 harmed Harris' chances of getting elected and helped Trump.

[QUOTE]The U.S. economy created 818,000 fewer jobs than originally reported in the 12-month period through March 2024, the Labor Department reported Wednesday.[/QUOTE]Now, to further illustrate the fact that Donald J. Trump is the dumbest conman and liar of all time but that doesn't matter because his target marks, the Repub MAGAs, also happen to be the dumbest suckers of all time, not only did that August 2024 BLS Revision Report harm Harris and improve Trump's chances of winning the election even if it hadn't fallen to that tiny handful of angry Muslims across just the only 3 swing states that mattered to be the sole reason he won, but THIS recent BLS downward revision report for which he fired the same BLS Commissioner who is supervised by a Trump appointee and the same one whose report potentially helped him win his razor-thin election finally included a substantive piece of economic data that Fed Chairman could use to justify a Fed Funds Rate Cut, which is what Trump has been whining, crying, begging and pleading for!
LOL. So I sure hope whatever new MAGA BLS Commisioner he puts in there to lie about the jobs numbers in order to make him look good does it well enough to convince Powell NOT to enact a rate cut after all.
Lololol.
Electrostate vs. Petrostate: The Little Country that Could...
[QUOTE=Elvis 2008;3017418]Given that natural gas plants cost so little up front and wind and solar cost so much up front, the best thing that could happen for an alternate energy humper like you would be for interest rates to come down which ironically you Democratic douches do not want.[/QUOTE]The little country that could, tells of a fascinating new report about the little known story of Nepal's electrification growth.
[b]With EV sales from 0% to 76% passenger vehicles and 50% commercial vehicles in 5 yrs, [/b]it has not only transformed the country economic outlook, but also it's energy security, into the beginning stages of electrostate wonder.
While EV sales in the U.S. continue to struggle (with the Fuhrer's "Drill baby Drill" idiot administration rolling back clean tech advances), the small and often inconsequential country of Nepal, has (IMHO) figured out that what it means to be an electrostate, that ultimately provides an increased level of energy security, energy independence and a respite from geo-eco-poltical pressures from authoritarian peterostates.
[b]NYT: The Country Where 76% of Cars Sold Are Electric[/b]
[LIST][i]"Many countries are trying to electrify their vehicle fleets, but the case for doing so is even more obvious in Nepal, with its clean energy embodied in the rivers that run down from the Himalayas.
A 2015 border skirmish with India squeezed Nepals petroleum imports, then its largest energy source. After that, the government invested heavily in hydropower and grid infrastructure that have provided cheap, nonpolluting sources of electricity.

Yes, the global south (one country at a time), is figuring it out and getting the message, that moving to an electrostate model is the answer to for future growth and geo-eco-poltical stability!
The Idea is to Hold on to Power
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;3018512]It is because you want illegals to vote Democrat and parasites like you can keep getting your checks. That is what you Democratic douches are really all about, rigging elections![/QUOTE]The 2nd reason the Marxist wokies want illegal aliens in the states and cities they control is to make up for the exodus of American citizens leaving their totally mismanaged blue states and cities like CA and San Francisco for a better life in states like Florida, Texas, and Tennessee. Thus, the Left demands that illegals to be counted in their census in order to maintain and not lose their present number of congressional districts in the House of Representatives. And this is why the communists go ape shit whenever reasonable Americans want the census to accurately represent what is really going on in their respective states.

[B]Durham disclosures further undermine Gabbards claims of plot against Trump.
Declassified document contains deflating conclusion for DNI director that Russian spies were behind key 2016 emails.
Aug. 2, 2025[/B]
[URL]https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/02/tulsi-gabbard-trump-john-durham-report[/URL]
[QUOTE]Tulsi Gabbard, the director of US national intelligence, hoped to uncover evidence that Barack Obama and his national security team conspired to undermine Donald Trump in a slow-motion coup.
But if her crusade was aimed at proving that Obama embarked on a treasonous conspiracy to falsely show that Russia intervened in the 2016 presidential election to help Trump, Gabbard made a mistake. [B]A previously classified annexe to a report by another special counsel, John Durham appointed towards the end of Trumps first presidency has further undermined Gabbards case.[/b]
It was a quixotic enterprise from the start.
After all, the 2019 report from Robert Mueller, the original special counsel appointed to investigate the Russia allegations, [b]and a bipartisan five-volume report the following year from the Senate intelligence committee then chaired by Marco Rubio, now Trumps secretary of state both affirmed the offending January 2017 intelligence community assessment, which expressed high confidence in Russian interference.[/b]
Vladimir Putin, Russias president, seemed to validate the intelligences premise in 2018 when, standing beside Trump at a news conference in Helsinki, he admitted wanting him to win.
The newly unclassified 29-page document from Durham, made public this week, contains a deflating conclusion for Gabbard.[b] It confirms that Russian spies were behind the emails that were originally released as the result of a Russian cyber-hack of internal Democratic information channels and which Trump supporters believed showed the campaign of Hillary Clinton, his 2016 opponent, conspiring to accuse him of colluding with Moscow.[/b][/QUOTE]Putin wanted Trump to win and he instructed his agents to help Trump win.
He admitted to both at that Helsinki press conference where Trump threw America's intelligence community under the bus and sided with Russia's. There is zero evidence that Putin or his agents ever helped Hillary Clinton.
Woke Gestapo Target 'Registered Republican' Sydney Sweeney for Thoughtcrime
"The Woke Gestapo in the far-left entertainment media are targeting Sydney Sweeney for a career blacklisting.
So far, Sweeney's committed two cardinal sins. The first is daring to be sexy and appealing in an American Eagle blue jeans ad. You see, Sweeney had the temerity to be normal-beautiful, not fat / trans / tattooed "beautiful. "
After five years of Normal People being grossed out by an "inclusive standard of beauty" and "body positivity" which is nothing more than an affirmative action program that allows ugly people to appear in Swimsuit Editions and underwear ads Sweeney dared to be her sensual, appealing, all-American self in a campaign that even included her own Ford Mustang.
The campaign was a massive success (duh), the blue jeans sold out (duh), and then the left did what it always does in the face of Normal succeeding: they freaked out and screamed "Nazi". And no, it wasn't just nobodies on TikTok melting down. Disney staffers at ESPN declared the ad "fascist. " MSNBC said it was "fair" to attack the ad as "Nazi propaganda. ".
American Eagle, to its great credit, appears to understand that social media is not real life. Obviously, the ad is a rousing success. Obviously, Normal People appreciate this return to Normalcy. Obviously, though this ad, American Eagle has earned the goodwill of a vast majority of the people who long ago tired of staring at fat women in bikinis. So American Eagle has already told the Woke Gestapo to suck it.
Ahh, but the Woke Gestapo isn't used to losing, especially when it uses the word "Nazi. " In the past, companies have always caved. This cannot stand. The Woke Gestapo never surrender, so now they're targeting the girl, a 27-year-old rising star who did nothing wrong other than to prove America is ready for a return to a normal America where attractive people sell the stuff.
Yes, the Woke Gestapo doxed this poor woman. To destroy her career, they went digging and apparently discovered she registered as a Republican in Florida months prior to the 2024 presidential election.
The fact that this is news tells you everything you need to know about the fascist scum in Hollywood. In a sane, tolerant, and decent Hollywood, the idea that a woman who lives in Florida is registered to one of only two of America's major political parties would not be news. Good grief.
But, you see, Sweeney was already suspect over questionable associations meaning her family.
But this. This! A registered Republican? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. She must answer for this!
Listen, I'm not one for giving successful people advice. If Sweeney asked me for guidance, not wanting to do her any harm, I'd suggest she call someone else. The one thing I would tell her, though, is not to cave, not to give in. That's what Hollywood's New McCarthyites want because they know if she grovels, that will be the end of her. They will never forgive her for being one of those, and if she caves like a gerbil, she'll lose support from Normal People. Then she's got nothing.
Hopefully, Sweeney will not back down, which might stop others in the entertainment industry from cowering. America desperately needs Normal Sexy again. If a woman is willing to be objectified by the male gaze and men are willing to objectify her, that's called "consenting adults. "
Super-producer Brian Grazer admitted to voting for Trump. There are more. They've been intimidated into silence and lying. The more who come out of the closet, the better.
Sweeney should be classy but unapologetic about her political beliefs, and she should definitely continue to drive the boys crazy with her classic beauty. If she handles this right, she'll become a superstar, prove the Woke Gestapo's power is mostly an illusion, and maybe even make Hollywood a little less fascist.
Yep, if she handles this right, she has a shot at becoming an icon not a MAGA icon, but an icon for free-thinking, free-spirited women tired of being bullied into a box. " -John Nolte.

Republicans are the original pussy colonizers!
They don't look like me. They are saltine cracker eating (compound profanity redacted) who have never had to work a hard day in their life because of perceptions and advantages received from where their mother squatted and pushed them out.
We have individuals talking about immigration. It is the new mantra of the far right. Instead of focusing on the [B]Rich and Super Rich[/B] vacuuming up all the assets and wealth of the middle class they are buying into the false narrative of immigrants being the problem. They forget that the White House of the country where the current POTUS operates out of was build with slave labor.
We have individuals posting here that thinks a permanent residence is not a guest. That do not understand I am a citizen and cannot get deported. If you can get deported from the Dis-United States of America then you are a guest. They say I should be charged with Treason because I disagree with them. Yet, they themselves have NEVER taken a oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
Why is it they cannot recognize that the reason life is not getting better any particular individual nor are things getting better for the majority in the Dis-United States of America is because of the current massive transfer of wealth going on from the middle class to the [B]Rich and Super Rich[/B]?
No amount of personal attacks are going to change that unless the Dis-United States of America begins to tax wealth. Make the [U]Rich and Super Rich[/U] pay more than their fair share of taxes and restore a reasonable balance of the ownership of assets and wealth.
That is the United States of America that I grew up in. One where an enlisted man in the United States Military could buy a home with very little debt that allowed him to raise and protect his family.
Try using reason instead of showing you are intellectually bankrupt by engaging in [B]Ad Hominem[/B] attacks.
