Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

i dont actually think trump's running an outright scam here, he's still burning a shitload of jet fuel on his plane, he's taking a loss. it's just that trump's too lazy to do due diligence, is too arrogant to learn how, and is too much of a micromanager to hire someone who knows what the gently caress they're doing

any kickbacks he sends to himself are because he's too stingy to not grasp at any spare cash he get his lil hands on

I can safely say that Trump has Officially Started Campaigning. You're just conditioned to believe that huge amounts of money equals results on election day. Elections have turned into big business, especially in years when the established industries in the US didn't mind so much who won. Also don't forget that Trump is getting huge amounts of free media publicity (as well as the people know that the Media Hates Trump, and the People Hate the Media, and so the People Like Trump). And his campaign has gained traction through word of mouth primarily, not ad buys. But there will probably be a big ad push in the last few months for the hell of it. You're just used to a corporate, clinical, marketed rigged horse race campaign, this is something different.

It's funny how this also explains the rumors about him starting a media company just so he can profit off the news he makes.

It'll never stop owning that Trump has spent decades scamming countless people over the pettiest penny ante poo poo, and now built a loyal cadre of rally attending marks who have had all defenses against scamming stripped from them by Trump. Post-presidency scam Trump is going to be incredible, folks. He can take his true believer followers for everything. Didn't he already hint at bringing back Trump U?

Even people who like him for his policies can see how flighty and wormy he is about wording, specifics, and trying to rep every side of an issue which seems shifty and dishonest to me.

The delay could matter, because until Trump formally forgives the loans, he maintains the legal option to use new donations to reimburse himself. (He can do so until August, under federal law.)

It's perfectly legal for Trump to make the change in his next monthly filing, instead of using the stand-alone statement his campaign asserted he was filing last week.

Given Trump's repeated insistence that this is a done deal, it is not clear why his campaign won't release the paperwork yet.
