He is surely trying to make America hot with his support for climate change

Again with the cards metaphor. You bankrupted three casinos. You don't know shit about cards.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Well, that’s true, but he was laundering a TON of money for some very bad people and had a hellacious coke habit at the time. Human trafficking, drug running, plus standard boring fraud and ponzi stuff.

Anyway, shit started to get a little too hot, so he agreed they would sell it for parts, stick loser investors with the bill and then do it again. And again. Worked out great for him.

Don't assume that a functioning casino was his goal. He enriched himself and made the right connections through his "failures" to keep doing it.

[–] AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.world 58 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes. He made the USA 'hot' again. Tourism is down 40% from Canada. Everything this guy touches turns to shit.

What the fuck ever

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Not sure what he can actually do. Plus the DNC appears to be handing the race to the GOP.

[–] breecher@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Haven't he already proved a long time ago that he can basically do anything (as long as his own incompetence doesn't stop him), because there are no consequences for him whatsoever?

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

Fair point

[–] bear@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 day ago

They could execute him during a special Madison Square Garden exhibition. The rules are made up.

I love how someone said America was "Hot" to him during his Middle East trip, and now he says it all the time like a confused teen trying to figure himself out.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

It’s summer, so they’re not wrong. Also, climate change. 🤷‍♂️

[–] ideonek@piefed.social 16 points 1 day ago

Silly me thought The People hold all cards during elections.

Says one of the guys who was instrumental in destroying New York for the working class

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

Ok Mugatu whatever you say.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Hot"..?

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

He'll be saying "lit" soon.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

"This bill is lit they tell me, this is the littest bill they've ever seen"

Oh I am sure the neo-liberal democratic party members are masturbating to this.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago

This isn't fair, they're doubtlessly just tut-tutting in vague disapproval of being so crude about it.
