And for further irony, it's possible that he's actually damaging that very system.

As the French Revolution shows, and probably other historical incidents, 'the wealthy get everything and suffer nothing' only really works if, for a broad umbrella, you don't call attention to it. If it's just a constant background pain, then people can ignore it, be overwhelmed by it, tolerate it, feel that it's impossible to change, etc etc. But if you keep rubbing people's faces in it, eventually you're going to get the Machiavellian line crossing into hatred, and at that point, people will be willing to suffer to oppose you. And I mean REAL hatred, not the jackoff hatred the Chuds crave.

Trump is such a screeching poo poo flinging rear end in a top hat that I like to think he's shoving constant small needles of rot into the setup it took smarter and nastier people generations to build. And perhaps savor the irony that this was inevitable. Because as shown, if you lessen the hardships needed to succeed at something, then eventually the incompetent thundering down the path beaten by others will outnumber the ones who want to walk it carefully.

Or maybe a better analogy: Trump is that apocryphal story of some guy who showed off how dense and unbreakable the glass window was by constantly running and jumping full bore into it. And the window never broke. But doing it over and over and over eventually damaged and warped the frame, and eventually when he smashed himself into the glass for the last time, it just popped out and the guy's momentum sent him out to his death. Except in this case, the guy falling out the window somehow sets off a chain reaction that makes the whole building fall down. Or something.

Anyone whose ever posted bail has to be seething at the treatment Pmurt gets. Judges dont give a gently caress if you have to sell your car or house to post bond. There's going to be some brain-breaking moment when he says the quiet part out loud, something like "this is how poor people get treated and its UNFAIR TO ME A RICH WHITE GUY" and it will be like a dam breaking

yeah I had to get my dad to post $500 on a $5k bond one time cuz I fistfought some cops and I don't particularly like how his bonds are being treated at all, Fred Trump sure isn't telling him that he's a dead man if a loan shark calls him up demanding $5k

If 50-100 years from now we have a set of what are called "Donald Trump Laws" or "Donald Trump Rules" that have been put in place specifically because he is such a vivid, instantly recognizable and understandable warning from history as to the dangers of looking the other way, ...

I agree completely. And usually when something like that happens, society becomes destabilized to the point where some nasty poo poo happens and not just to the rich. And while I think some oligarchs would love to see that happen (because they don't think they'll get the poo poo end of it), I think that's why a lot of donors are going to the Democratic Party and why some GOP types are cutting out now: life is better when you can keep the long con going as long as you can, not being dragged out and shot Ceausescu style after a very short trial.

There's one simple rule for them: don't gently caress with the money.

Trump is doing just that by bleeding the coffers dry and putting a spotlight on the poo poo all these fucks do to get even more rich.

The alpha male stupidity of jumping into windows is very Trumplike, but he would never waste his precious finite energy levels by exerting himself like that.

That must have been a really quixotic outcome for those articling students. Like that's guaranteed hireback, watching a partner die, but the firm then went under. It was probably like when Heenan Blakie collapsed, all the other firms got together to make sure the really junior associates got a gig elsewhere on Bay.

I don't even get how he died. If the window didn't break, just surf it down to street level and jump at the last second?

The pile of jizz mushrooms begins moving, slowly at first, but gradually gaining momentum. They start flying towards your crevices, implanting themselves and taking root in your armpits, skin folds, and mucus membranes. As they bore deeper into you, each individual mushroom head transforms into a mini Trump head, and they all cry out in unison: “OBAMNA!”
