Donald Trump huffed and puffed online after Maryland Gov. Wes Moore challenged him to walk the streets of his state.

The 79-year-old president lashed out on Truth Social on Sunday at Moore’s “nasty and provocative” invitation three days earlier to join him for some light cardio in Baltimore, calling the city a “crime disaster” and threatening to deploy National Guard troops.

Trump was so angry about the public safety walk invitation that he suggested he may pull federal support for rebuilding the city’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, which collapsed last year.

    I've always heard that Trump is charismatic but I really can't see it, he talks like a dementia patient and behaves like a toddler.

    If you've heard that Trump was charismatic, you've been listening to morons.

    Also, he's a child rapist.

    People thought Hitler was charismatic as well. I think the thing is that these kinds of people are only charismatic to a certain subset of people. Hateful narcissistic morons mostly, and then probably because they see themselves in them.

    He isn't charismatic .... his money is ... or at least the idea of him having actual money that he might (but never) share is charismatic

    He's more of a vector for cerebral hemorrhage ... every time any human gets close to him, people lose their minds and think he's actually important

    "I'M THE KING! I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!"

    "Any man who must say 'I am king' is no true king."

    Plus, we don't have kings here. At some point enough people are going to remember that.

  • Could always do what that town did during the Cold War, and ask Russia to fund the reconstruction.

    For the unaware, Vulcan West Virginia was a tiny coal mining town that had been trying to get a bridge built for a few years, but the state was dragging their feet on funding. The town was only accessible via a private gravel footpath (that was technically off limits to the public, since it was owned by the local railway company,) and a small footbridge that was in shambles. For years, the town had been begging the state to build a proper bridge. But the state was reluctant to build a bridge that wouldn’t see a lot of use.

    In 1975, the suspension footbridge collapsed, meaning the only remaining way in or out of town was to trespass on the railway’s gravel road. So that town contacted the USSR, and asked them to fund the new bridge. The USSR never actually responded, but the town also contacted the news… And the Soviet reporters jumped at the chance to make “US town seeking humanitarian aid from USSR” headlines.

    Suddenly, the state announced that they had money to build the bridge. The announcement came on the same day that a Russian reporter traveled to Vulcan to interview the residents. The official story from the state was that the bridge had been planned for months, and it simply took time to get the ball rolling… But everyone knew that the state was simply embarrassed into funding the bridge.

    The first man to bankrupt three casinos will soon be the president who bankrupted the military budget with all these useless deployments.

    I hope as a side effect of this nonsense that cops everywhere feel emasculated, knowing that Trump holds them in such little regard that he feels the need to send in the national guard to do their jobs for them.

    Did he lose money on those bankruptcies or were they a scam?

    eg if he borrowed $10m for upgrades but secretly only spent $3m and split the difference with collaborators. Then by declaring bankruptcy the casino doesn't have to pay back the loans.

    I am no finance expert so maybe my scenario is far fetched, I dunno.

    His bankruptcies were totally planned from the beginning. Those casinos were Russian money laundering operations, and the entire objective was to suck every drop of profit out of them, run them into the ground, declare bankruptcy, and walk away, sticking everyone else with the bills. And he did it 7 times.

    It's not that he's a bad businessman - although he is - he is a virtuosic money launderer.

    Sopranos S02E10 has a great example of a Bust Out in practice, as they effectively dismantle a department store from the inside.

    This isn't just Trump. It's a business practice prioneered back in the 1980s and repeated successfully for decades.

    And while Trump certainly had a lot of Russian mob connections, I believe there's just as much of a relationship with the Tony Salerno and the Genovese family by way of Roy Cohn. Incidentally, the Italian mob was instrumental in cowing migrant workers and breaking nascent union movements across NYC for most of the 20th century. The big crack downs on organized crime didn't happen until the end of the Soviet Union, in the early 90s, when they'd exhausted their usefulness.

    Curiously, this is when organized crime in Russia exploded and you began to see a lot of black market organizations working to loot the old Soviet System on behalf of Wall Street.

    But up until the late Clinton/Early Bush Era, Trump was more closely associated with the Italian mob.

  • Guess it depends how you define "bad". In my eyes a good business does well by everyone: staff get well compensated and have a good work environment, customers get a good product at a fair price, suppliers get their invoices paid, owners (if not a coop) get some ROI and their name on the door. Trump has only ever managed 0.5 out of 4, ergo bad businessman.

    bankrupted the military budget

    Can't be done. We might dedicate bigger and bigger chunks of our GDP to Military Kensyanism. But our imperial military exists to extract materials and labor to fuel the total economy. It functionally can't go bankrupt.

    So long as there are nations we can sack and loot, and workers they can press gang and enslave, all we're doing is driving up domestic retail costs at home to divert surplus to the Big Looting Machine that's powered our nation since inception.

    Strange how you have to fight child molesters in some Pizzaria without a basement.

    How these richest fascists on earth are somehow going to get rid of the deep state.

    Strange how there must be pedo pictures of Trump somewhere in Putins safe, Bibi has some copies too.. Would explain the lap dog behavior.

    Strange how somehow it's the Democrats fault and all. MAGA rather fights some problems in fantasyland/narnia than looking at reality. Everything they accused anybody of is done by their people

    I've been tired of it since 2016.

    The worst part is whenever you see some subjective word use like this, and then you dig into the actual source event or material, 99% of the time, it's absolutely nothing. Oh, did T "melt down" by tweeting in all caps? Ah yes, so rare, an occurrence. And not just articles about him, but usually articles about his reaction as being something crazy or whatever suffer from this kind of hyperbole.

    Also in the same category are articles with "will" or "can" or some other version of "maybe maybe maybe" or "likely to" in the headline. 99% of the time, no it won't. It's just a workaround for Betteridge's law of headlines (any headline with a question mark can be answered "no") that any article that suggests something might happens can be answered with "nah, probably not."

  • 1 it's not his money. He didn't pay anything.

    2 he should be saying our counties legislative system will make the Dali's insurance pay for the damages and/or ask Congress to set laws that restrict any shipping vessel large enough to cause such damages carry insurance that can pay for the full extent of their damages or they aren't able to ship to our ports.

    That would up shipping costs, sure. But isn't that what his administration wants, less international trade and forcing the country to become less dependent on foreign countries?

    Oops oil, coal, gas costs went up, and long term it yet again would be cheaper for local renewable energy. As 40% of shipping is just bringing oil/coal/gas from one port to another. When the solar panels are in your state, county, city, neighborhood, or on your property, "shipping costs" drop drastically.

    Someone crashed into a power line, entire blocks/neighborhoods could go down, except if those solar panels are on your roof, maybe just switch to your batteries and have localized power till the power comes back on, then switch it back to the grid. Tornado destroys 5 houses, bring what you need to your neighbors after and still have a refrigerator and air conditioning while you sort out what to do next in heat that's only getting worse.

    The people who think that people aren't accelerating global warming still usually accept the idea that the planet is getting warmer.
