What? No way. Trump supports would just say Trump is smart for going bankrupt.
Don’t all winners declare bankruptcy at the height of their winning?
It is to game the corrupt system man

Look like?
He already looks like a loser.
Great news Donald! You don’t have to worry anymore!
He already looks like a loser.
Has done for decades, but that doesn’t seem to register with his cult.
That ship has sailed.
What a loser

This would be bankruptcy number seven-ish?
Trump has never declared personal bankruptcy. This would be a huge blow to him, as everything from his business empire to his personal wealth, would be gone.
I wish, but I’m sure he parked ample sums with his children and in-laws. He’ll never be poor, if only because he’d rather be dead.
A smart person would’ve done that. Trump is neither smart nor generous.
Didn’t his son in law get billions from Saudi despots in return for access to classified documents?
That’s probably why he got those billions. Which raises an interesting question: why isn’t Jared helping him out?
Because Jared is smart enough to let Trump burn.
Did losing the presidency after I’ve term not make him look like a lost already?
His followers don’t think he lost, remember. Most of them still think he’s president.
There’s this thing I’ve noticed on Facebook, I don’t fully understand but they post things Maga really want to be true like ‘try that in a small town singer smashes tailor swift attendance record’ with an obviously unrelated or fake picture. The comments are almost everyone acting like it’s true, there was one about some woke companies share value falling fifty percent with everyone celebrating then once comment linking to a share price tracker pointing out its not even close to true.
I don’t know who makes them or why but the comnent section believes them.
This is why I deleted all of my social media accounts years ago. All I have now is a mastodon account.
I don’t really consider this social media in the same way. Lemmy is a social news aggregator, so it’s adjacent to social media, but people here aren’t friends, we’re all anonymous. It’s not really the same thing. Perhaps one might call it “pseudosocial media”.
Sadly, and strangely, this is true. Although, ironically, they’re still voting for him.
They are not voting for a third term president. They’re voting for a forever term dictator.
Yes, but my point is they’re voting for him even though they claim he’s still the president in office. Why are they voting if he never left the office? It’s just weird.
Because they are insane
I’ll be voting for Biden even though he is in office. Is that weird, too?
If not for the ridiculous system and the insistence of the DNC leadership on making sure he’s the only alternative to fascism, yes.
Voting for Biden WOULD be very weird if you were not doing it under duress.
But he’s still a loser so we have that
I thought filing for bankruptcy was smart? Isn’t that what he said before about his previous bankruptcies?
Different kinds of bankruptcy, but essentially he said they were smart, business decisions: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2015/sep/21/carly-fiorina/trumps-four-bankruptcies/
“Hundreds of companies” have filed for bankruptcy, Trump said earlier in the debate. “I used the law four times and made a tremendous thing. I’m in business. I did a very good job.”
That quote sounds like a toddler talking about their bowel movements.
I’m in business. I did a very good job.”
Is Trump just three kids in a trenchcoat?

Trump is giving way too much credit to his supporters, who openly don’t care about his previous 6 bankruptcies, and have even ridiculously tried to spin said bankruptcies to their GodEmperorDaddy’s credit.
“He thinks about what is going to play politically well for him. Bankruptcy doesn’t play well for him, but having her try to take his properties might.” While Trump may actually be right about that—it’s not hard to imagine him convincing his supporters that he’s the unjust victim of government tyranny, claiming America has devolved into a communist hellhole, and telling people they’ll be next—he is, of course, no stranger to bankruptcy protection.
I disagree that he thinks bankruptcy doesn’t play well for him. He’ll probably play the victim card for the ruling and try to spin bankruptcy as some kind of genius financial ‘turning-of-the-tables’. He knows he can spin it any way he wants to his base but is too narcissistic to acknowledge anyone else could see through it.
He can spin however he likes to his base, don’t care. Once the money is yanked, his true power is yanked. That’s why he’s panicking.
Little people can worship him as the Messiah, but the big dogs will fall away fast. Once he loses the big money support, he’s done.
I mean, that is the only play he could make, of course, but his image of a big, strong, brilliant business billionaire will be very difficult to maintain while he is sitting in the poorhouse. He will be stripped of his entire identity of anything other than a big fat, drooling, dumb ass crybaby. I don’t know that his supporters will be very interested in voting for that anymore.
That might work if they had a chance to see him through any other lens than their self-imposed media bubble.
Trump’s public persona in those spaces never bore any resemblance to reality and they’ll keep curating his messianic image until well after he’s in the ground.
It’s a lens, not a magic portal to another dimension. There’s only so much it can distort before it will break.
It’s actually closer to a magic portal to another dimension than you think. Have you ever watched OAN or Newsmax?
I saw them suddenly shut up about voting machines.
I’ll pay attention when I see assets getting seized.
Yes … THAT’S what would make him look like a loser…
