as stupid as Donny Bodybags can't avoid the fact that Putin, his idol, knows he is a failure.

I really think this will mortify him.

been manipulating him to believe he thinks Donald is solid financially. It's a game they play. A dangerous, and deadly game.

Donald's scaredy cat little brain must be scheming right now on what to do about this. I just hope he doesn't sell America down the river over this.

300k or so? Even IF he donates it (which is complete bullshit) that hardly covers the dollar amount we are already seeing.

As usual, they are blinded by bias and stupidity.

directly to trump's resort. And he's worth less than zero since he's in debt up to his eyeballs.

Personally, I think it's possible that his whole trumping up of the obama birth certificate bullshit campaign was essentially an alternative way of servicing his debt. And the whole trump nightmare has just spiraled from there.

It is the odd republiCON voter who just needs one more nudge to turn their building disgust with tRump into a vote for Biden or turn them into a non-voter.

Remember...tRump only won the electoral college by about 70,000 votes.

But it is going to make a huge difference to his businesses once he is out of office and tries to keep his brand afloat. He and his family are done. The Trump name is trash and they will never be trusted or respected again.

I don't even think Putin and the Saudis are going to want to have anything to do with him now that he has been exposed. He has outlived his usefulness to them.
