    …This is not new. Doesn’t anyone remember this from 2020 and 2016? He doesn’t pay, people try to file liens, he buries them in legal filings and bankrupts them, rinse, repeat. This is the “smart businessman” that Republicans love so much; he cheats everyone.

      I have told my parents about this numerous times because it’s the piece you shouldn’t be able to argue with or bullshit about it being “political”. They don’t care. “DEmOcRaTs KiLl BaBiEs!!!” Takes priority every time

    Yet the very same people will still vote for him, so no empathy possible

      Source?

      While I’m sure many people in the same line of work would vote for him, I doubt anyone who has been stiffed by him after actually working for him would continue to support him.

        You been paying attention these last 8 years?

        I’ll let you know if Republicans actually turn on him ever, except in some one off poll that is contradicted by every other piece of evidence

          There are plenty of people who have turned on him, they’re just not as noisy as the die hards. But really, the die yards are in the minority. His supporters, in general, are also a minority - Trump has never won any sort of popular vote.

            Look at polling. If the election was held today, not only would Biden lose, he would lose soundly. Biden is literally the least popular president in history since modern approval polling began.

            The fact this makes people downvote me and think I want Trump to win is part of the problem. Biden is supremely unpopular.

            We’re sleepwalking into fascism hoping an incredibly unpopular octogenarian will save us. Does anyone ever just step back and go, what in the fuck?

              That’s because the polls are oversampling rural voters and landlines. When was the last time they asked you? Do you know anyone who has been polled?

              Not only that, even if they did call most people have something better to do than spend 15 minutes answering random questions. Trump voters are much more likely to want to shout “Trump” into a phone. Biden voters just wait for the election.

              Don’t you remember 2020? Trump had a million rallies and Biden had zero. Only the election matters.

                That’s… not how modern polling works. I assure you, no one is oversampling landlines.

                This is just the dream you feed yourself. The polls must be wrong because I don’t like what they portent. I believe it was coined “fake news” by your former and future president. You dismiss statistical polling because “Trump voter dumb, yell at phone, not now! Even if did, land lines! Even if accounted rural! The numbers are wrong because I downvoted them!” This is a losing game.

                That somehow, despite all polling and conventional wisdom to the contrary, you’re going to get… 82 year old Joe Biden.

                Like, all the wishful thinking and sideways approaches to shoot the moon you want to take, and you’re putting all that dreamy thinking on the line and defying reality to get… Joe Biden?

                I feel for you bro, and that all sucks. I’m not saying it doesn’t, I’m just trying not to be blind to the sentiment of country. Good luck.

    The only bills Trump ever paid on time, without lawsuit, was ones to his concrete supplier who just totally coincidentally like happened to be connected to the Russian mob maybe.
