From what I understand he’s always been about threats and berating people since that’s how he forces suckers into his scams. Get them in, box their ears and make them feel “stupid” so they follow the leader directly into bankruptcy.

Meanwhile, he has no idea how soft power works and is manipulated by North Korea, Russia and pretty much any leader who will act like they want to kiss his rear end while pointing him at the nearest cliff for him to drive off of.

Technically his name is nowhere on the check because that is really illegal and yes some laws still apply. His name is on the memo that comes with the check.

Is your county suspending evictions?
Here are some ideas, sorry if they're not helpful:
1. Form a tenant union and demand rent suspension.
2. Write to your representative (yes this sounds stupid)
3. Check out the local DSA or PSL chapter to see if they have a fund for financial relief.
