I used to lean conservative, was brought up that way with friends and family. But I eventually figured out the "party of fiscal responsibility" was anything but. They cut taxes and spend on weapons and corporate handouts greatly increasing the debt. Then the next Democrat president reduces the debt. Over and over again it has happened.

    Who’d thunk that making those who made their money from others, as well as public infrastructure, should have to reinvest a good portion of that back into society, and doing so actually reduces the financial burden and societal degeneration for everyone?

    This Idiot has spent a lifetime using debt/bankruptcy to brand himself the “king of debt.” Problem is, countries don’t get chapter 11 protections! When they go broke, Bad Things happen. Not that this asshole cares.

    So true, ask Argentina when they had to go to the IMF and World Bank.

    So sad this happens to such an awesome country. I respect Peronist third-way politics, especially over what they have now, but they really need to find a way to produce things/services and increase trade networks that generate more resources for themselves. Or else, they’ll always be in debt to themselves and other nations.

    They need more than just tourism and Argentinian beef.

    "need him"? When does anyone need a failed businessman to help with a serious financial problem? Even if he wasn't a failure, why would we need a liar? Even if he's not a liar, why would we need a felon convicted of election deception? Even if he wasn't a felon, why would we need an adjudicated rapist and pedophile protector? Why would we need someone so compromised and beholden to so many foreign entities?

    Why that is just not fair... You left out abusive, serial cheater, litigious, wife beater, corrupt, petty, human trafficker, bigot, propagandist, and so many more.

    I stand corrected! You know who does need him? Bad fiction writers that are looking for justification for their poorly written villains who break the suspension of disbelief. The Donvict is saving them from the embarrassment of "No one would believe that people would vote for someone with this many obvious flaws!"

    Doing what rich boys do with all their hobbies. Driving them into bankruptcy while leaving everybody else holding the bag.

    He is literally the king of debt. He bankrupt six casinos and the only way he can maintain his fortune is through grifting others.

    He's driving up the price of diesel to trigger hyper inflation to make the debt smaller.

    "A Trump never pays his debts!" His solution is to offer 10¢ on the dollar and then sue you if you don't accept it. His 6 bankruptcies show that doesn't work in the real world.

    He stood on the edge of oblivion and turned towards Skydaddy Trump to question him, "Where were you when I needed you the most?"

    Skydaddy Trump clapped back, "turn around my customer and look back."

    He turned and stared back and saw an infinite beach behind him with only one set of footprints leading to where he is now. He implored, "If you were always there why is there only one of set of footprints?"

    "I was there the whole time, you were just following in my footsteps", Skydaddy Trump said with his characteristic shit eating grin.

    He was there all along, bankrupting the country.
