As I sit here just thinking about it, I can’t help but wonder if the actual practical reality of today’s decision have actually started to sink in yet. My guess is no, right now, the shock and outrage still have them blubbering out fanciful plots of threats and retaliation. When reality breaks through, you’ll know, you’ll be able to hear the kicking, screaming, and fist pounding wherever you are.
And of course I’m talking about the poster children for rich, entitled, self centered, worthless snots, Dipsh*t Donnie Redux and Squirrely Eric. These two are the living iteration of the classic Dudley Moore character, Arthur. These two were born, bred, and raised to be a totally useless drain on their families and society in general, which was fine with them, just so long as the fun didn’t stop.
Well today, after more than 40 years of riding up and down, around in circles on a plastic Dumbo, eating popcorn and cotton candy, and yelling at the people down below, the ride finally pulled into the station. Disneyland was closed.
These two witless twits have literally been raised to be both helpless and clueless. All you need to know about Eric’s business prowess is that he tried buying and managing one lousy industrial park, and made such a cock up of it that Daddy literally had to step in and buy the property to keep Eric from going bankrupt. And all you need to know about Don Jr.’s business chops is that Trump himself actually considered Eric the brighter of the two when it came to business.
It reminds me of an old movie I saw once, I think maybe with Adam Sandler, where this guy starts a company and hits it big. But his kid turns out to be an absolute nitwit, he couldn’t even get the coffee orders straight in the executive suite. So the guy named his clown prince the Sr. Vice President of Physical Information Distribution, and stuck him in a windowless broom closet office in the basement mailroom.
In the first couple of hours following the ruling being handed down, I heard two conflicting sets of numbers. The first had Don Jr. getting fined $7 million, and Eric $3.5 million. Now MSNBC is reporting that both got hit with $4 million each. The media has been having a field day with opining on whether or not Trump can come up with a half million surety bond just to be able to appeal the ruling.
But here’s an even simpler question. Does anybody actually believe that either one of these pieces of dandelion fluff has $4 million to pay those fines? I don’t buy it. After all, their own father, their alleged role model gleefully refers to himself as The King of Debt. Why would he bother to teach them to be frugal. Besides, when Trump finally moved on, then Ivanka would take over, and the spigot would just keep flowing. There was literally no circumstance under which they could conceive of themselves actually having to earn a living.
Well, start conceiving, morons. Guess what? You are now officially unemployed, and so is your imbecile old man. He can’t do any business in New York for the next three years, and neither can you for the next two years. Business math for Dummies. No business = no income. And even when you three miscreants can work at the Trump Organization again, you’ll have a permanent court appointed monitor, as well as a permanent Compliance Officer watching your every move.
The Trump Organization has never been anything but a giant real estate Ponzi scheme. Spend Other Peoples Money to buy a property. then 2nd mortgage the sh*t out of it, and use that money to buy another business. Launder. Rinse. Repeat.
As I pointed out earlier, Trump Tower is valued at $160 million, but has some $100 million in debt. If Trump sells it, he doesn’t even walk away with enough money to pay off E. Jean Carroll! Why would any of his other real properties be any different? That’s why I have my doubts as to whether he can collect the grub stake to appeal the verdict.
Spoiler Alert! Forget about the Saudi’s and the UAE too. They’ve already tossed a $2 billion Scooby Snack to Jared, and they’re never seeing that again. Trump is unraveling in plain sight, and is one conviction away from being a felon. He’s looking at spending multiple months sitting behind a defense table instead of campaigning. Hey! What’s Arabic for Throwing good money after bad?
If I wasn’t such a vindictive simpleton, I could almost feel sorry for these two simpletons. Almost. Because they can’t catch a break. If this had happened 20 years ago, at least they could have picked up a matchbook, filled it out, and learned how to drive a trick, or make big $$$s doing medical records from home, or discovering their inner Van Goghs with a mail order art course. But there are no matchbooks anymore. But I’m here to help. So come on guys, repeat together after me, Thank you. And would you like fries with that?
I thank you for the privilege of your time.
Funny murf you ended your article with exactly the joke I was gonna make. Snowbird has a better chance to end up in the east river…a coke habit can’t be supported by a minimum wage job. The temptation to go in debt to the wrong sort never ends well. Maybe Lara will need to free up some time to ‘escort’ some fatcats since the RNC will just be a deposit account for big daddy. Poor eric…he should just throw himself in the river with a lead jacket. He seems barely able to dress himself. The con is up. The king is dead. At least trump’s wet dream has the Saudi money to keep her in botox, so not all is lost.
think he’ll ask Jared to bail him out? he might be able to afford it if he didn’t sink most of it in his 666 money pit. think Ivanka would say sorry, no?
Jarvanka wanted to run back to NYC and worm their way back into the “beautiful people/future Master’s of the Universe” NYC high society circles. They might never have been in the spotlight of that crowd but at least, unlike Trump were tolerated enough be be on the outer edges. However their time in DC “playing government” left them smelling as bad as Trump and they quickly learned not only were they not welcome, their kids could forget about any chance up growing up to be part of the “in crowd.” So they’ve tried to worm their way, quietly into the elite FL social circles. Yes, FL is now ruby red but for the high society types re-engaging with Trump would toss away what progress they’ve made. Bailing out Trump would cover them with a fresh coat of Trump stink and hopes of a comfy middle age and rubbing shoulders (somtetimes) with the elite and hanging out in the elite clubs and hotspots would be over for them. I just don’t see Jared, after sinking all that money into that disastrous real estate purchase in NYC casually dropping a half billion bucks he (better than most) and Ivanka KNOW they’ll never get back on bailing Trump’s ass out. Hell, refusing to do so might be their ticket back into semi respect with the crowd they want to be part of.
Wouldn’t you love to be a fly buzzing around the room when Trumpy gets told “Sorry but the answer is no. Can’t help you?”
Sorry, Murf, but gotta disagree with you on the Trump Brothers’ future prospects.
I’m thinking they’ll be hearing something more along the lines of “Trump! Clean up on aisle 6!” (Now, maybe if both guys were still in their early 20s, they might be able to get hired as pool boys or get some escort work–or, if desperate enough, gay-for-pay porn. But they’re way past their prime for any of that.)
There ain’t an employer anywhere in the world who’d let Uday or Qusay near a cash register. But cleaning up pools of vomit and diarrhea seems to be right up their alley.
With his low forehead and window’s peak, Eric seems to be getting ready to.player Grownup Eddie Munster in a low budget revival of The Munsters: The New Batch. Maybe he could get Junior a job involving serving lunch.
