Nope. What would you expect from someone that has a main skill of bankrupting shit?
Meanwhile, over on Fox News:
That card is a mock-up. Somehow I doubt if there will be an official immigration document with his picture on it. If I’m wrong, maybe we need to stock up on postage stamps before they all have his image.
Some of the Saudis behind LIV golf might want to be dual-citizens. Just guessing.
Remember, this is the guy that insisted Covid stimulus funds be sent out in the mail as checks so that his name could be on them.
I do not have your faith.
That’s sort of like calculating the top grossing movie of all time. Are we talking in 2025 bucks or time-of-issue bucks?
Hitler’s choices lead to the physical destruction of much of his country, the death and displacement of most of its greatest thinkers, lost a 3rd of the land to the Soviets, and caused the destruction of lots of other nations’ possessions and lives in trying to stop Germany.
I think that Hitler would have to be the clear winner, and I certainly hope that it stay that way.
In my disgust at the notion the American citizenship was something you could buy, and thinking that was the grift here, it hadn’t occurred to me that this is an work around to evade the laws that forbid foreign nationals from making campaign contributions.
I expect the second ‘Gold Card’ to be bought by Russia (if corporations are people why not countries?) so we’ll never hear “Russia, Russia, Russia” again because Vlad is an American too!
I first thought of Hitler too, but then I noticed the word “peacetime” in the question. So he’s right out. I would guess one of the contenders would be Chairman Mao with his Great Leap Forward. But it’s hard to put dollar (or even renminbi) numbers on that. It’s usually counted in number of deaths.
The decision was to end the peacetime.
Don’t forget that that’s how Hitler got rich: charging royalties for the use of his image on Germany’s stamps. Don’t give Trump any ideas!
That, and not paying taxes
Hitler made most of his money from sales of “Mein Kampf.” He had already gone from broke to well off before he became Fuhrer; it wasn’t much known at first but started selling like crazy as the economy went to hell. By war’s end he’d sold over ten million copies, many of them bought by the regime he was running.
And yet we are spending money on a parade for this goon?
Every newly wedded German couple got a copy of Mein Kampf, as did every soldier fighting in the Wehrmacht, free to them and paid for by the German state. But hey, there was no cryptocurrency back then…
They’ve evicerated small agencies spending far less than that $92 M.
Can’t someone float the idea that getting a lot of soldiers surrounding him might be a bad idea?
Great idea.
This will be a good page to keep an eye on over the next year or two, the average percentage of tardy/non-paying debtors, by type of loan.
Unfortunately, we won’t get an update until mid-May.
Dow only has to drop another 1,200 points to see us back to the level we saw over three years ago. 1,200 may sound like a lot but Trump has already wiped out over 7,000 points.
Tomorrow, as far as I know, is the day where we actually implement tariffs. The market is being held up by the hope that Trump calls the whole thing off, so if he goes through with this, it’s going to be a great depression level crash day.
