What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

Does anyone know, are there any legal roadblocks preventing an individual who is financially bankrupt from being President?

I don't think there are any legal roadblocks if he ends up bankrupt. But fighting to hold onto what he's got left might provide a practical & time-management roadblock to be him being able to effectivly run a campaign or possibly win over enough independant / moderate voters.

You also have the whole "successful tycoon" fiction Trump had built over the years and then reinforced with his appearance on The Apprenctice, which might have helped him in 2016. However this time we'v got a washed up flogger of gold shoes and gaudy NFTs who might end up spending his time screaming about how he has to liqudate his properties...and that doesn't really give that same vibe as in 2016. Makes him seem like a bit of a loser.

There are several stories out there about Trumps desperation to be perceived as a billionaire regardless of how true it is - so having his wealth dissected and publicised, even before everything is taken away from him, has got to be a massive blow to his ego.

And I agree the only way this ends is with seizure of assets. Compliance with court rulings isn’t one of his strong suits so I can’t imagine him bothering to try and raise the cash in the first place, preferring to complain on social media about how this is all politically motivated. And that’s a look that’s really not going to play well with anyone except true believers.

What would happen if Trump simply refused to pay? It seems like Alex Jones hasn't paid a cent yet either to the Sandy Hook parents. I get the impression that rich Americans just don't pay up when they don't want to.

And then there's Jared with billions, surely he would cough up? Ha!

Trump really does have 'shot in the foot' syndrome, the reason the fines were so huge is that he has bigged-up his wealth and the court had to take account of that to make the fine effective.

Why does it matter where he gets the money? He will lie about it and the GOP will back him 100% and any attempt to show where it came from will be laughed off as MSM deep state nonsense.

But Judge Jones has to approve any move by Trump business companies. A lot of people thought this case was a side issue in Trump's problems. Turns out to be central.

Saying "I don't know whether a certain man is a rapist" does not equate to saying "That certain man is not a rapist". I didn't say it would be OK if Trump was re-elected - regardless of whether the rape case was civil or criminal. As I said, I don't want him to be re-elected. However, none of us has the power to decided whether or not he becomes president again. So don't put words in my mouth!

I wish I had your optimism, Quin_Dub.

I would love nothing more than seeing a crew on a cherry picker taking down the TRUMP TOWER lettering and casually tossing the whole lot with a very loud crash into a big skip below, suffering the same ignominious fate as the decorative facade pieces he promised to preserve and donate to a museum, but ultimately fecklessly destroyed, while demolishing the building that stood there previously. I see this fondly in my mind's eye.

But will it happen? There have been so many false dawns when it comes to Trump's undoing.

Will he not lodge appeal after appeal after appeal to drag it out for years to come?

Let us hope for a good outcome here!

You are denying it. You are refusing to accept the statement that Trump is a rapist \ withholding your acceptance.

You are not denying it in the sense of rejecting it or declaring it as untrue, but you are denying it in this sense:

2. to reject as false; refuse to accept or believe

3. to withhold; refuse to give

So I'm not putting words in your mouth.

You're challenging the posters on the thread who are stating that he is a rapist, who are stating it because that was adjudicated in a court of law. What's the point of all your "questions" about civil v criminal, if you "don't know" about it?

If you can't speak to it, then just say nothing.
