Stating the obvious I know but how any American could read that and still think he's the best choice as their leader is mind boggling.Fascinating read about his tactics

If you cut off the name tag, they would actually be well designed silk ties - they look beautifully made. In fact his financial advisors should get him to remove his personal brand name from anything he decides to sell - I think he might make up for some of the losses that will arise from the Courts ruling his Trump Organisation‘s assets are somewhat overvalued.
Nah...he wouldn't.

I'm embarrassed to say that I actually do own a Donald Trump tie. In my defense, my wife bought it because she didn't like either of the other 2 ties I own and I don't think she was aware that was what it was. And it was bought before he entered politics.
We also once stayed at the Trump hotel in Vegas.

I'm just thinking that ALL his Chickens are coming home to roost and he is going to be shown as a " Loser " after all. He can't deny it or play the " Alternative Facts " bullshit... but, his ego won't allow him..so, death dive off Trump Tower ?
No. He'll just deny everything, say it's all a witch hunt and that he's done nothing wrong, and been brought down by them (whoever 'they' are). If he honestly believes this - then he won't have lost face at all in his eyes.

I doubt that he genuinely believes any of the crap he spouts but it makes no difference to his behavior. He surely knows very well that he committed fraud for many years, sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll (and others), planned and incited an insurrection, and stole and sold national secrets.
He will admit to nothing, play the martyr, fundraise from his MAGA base and do whatever he can to stay out of prison.
One day I'll post an AI generated spoof.
When that happens don't you dare come back on me, all the time this exists in the world
Oh and 'Never Surrender' high tops, $399.00

Just needs to sell 1.2m pairs, and that’s the legal bills (to date) paid then.
Make America Grift Again!
(Yes I know $399 per pair isn’t pure profit, and after manufacturing costs etc he probably needs to sell 4 or 5 times that many, but it’s just a joke and I couldn’t be bothered to “do the math”).

I’m not entirely sure about that - I actually think his ego is so large and his narcissism runs so deep, that he can’t fathom why everybody doesn’t think he is the ‘greatest ever’ and the ’only one that could ever’. I think he is a fully paid up subscriber to his own narratives. With Trump, every lie becomes a necessary, self-validating step in the process of building his self image as Trump the Victim and a Trump the Demagogue until the Fake Trump is the Real Trump (or at least until the DoJ catches up with Fake Trump
)Interesting piece here
Does Trump Believe His Own Lies?
The process of the January 6 Committee is as important as the content, because it is democracy and factual reality in action.

And don't overlook this bit either. As ever with Trump the actuality and the myth are poles apart!

Depends if he’s upset Mossad
Or the Gambino family, who allegedly provided all the concrete for his 1970/80’s NYC constructions
