  • He's been a desperate loser all his life who has tried to work hard to cover that up by means of the superficial trappings of wealth. He's chock-full of crippling complexes that prevent him from functioning properly, and now that his previously 'successful' shtick of talking utterly incoherent, stream-of-thought bollocks has stopped working, he's just losing it.

    For a desperate loser with a loser complex, he still has a lot of money. Amazing how unfair the world is.

    It's public knowledge that he lied about his net worth decades ago to procure massive loans which he used to start his ventures. His businesses have declared bankruptcy six times so far - his "wealth" is made up almost entirely of credit and loans he's using to pay other loans. The theory that the donations he's been gathering to fight the election results are in fact going towards paying his campaign expenses tracks with he's business practices so far.

    As for rehabilitating his image in American history - it's going to happen. It happened with Bush in our lifetimes and it will happen with Trump. I wish I could say with confidence that Biden wont pardon him, but it's hard to feel secure in that statement as the idea that it may be presented, and in turn lapped up by centrist Liberals, as a gesture of unity and healing is uncomfortably real.

    Pretty much this. Bush and Cheney set up an international torture network and all Obama did was shrug and say let’s move forwards. If you’re not going to prosecute that, what are you going to prosecute?

    That said, it would be just like the Democrats to pursue Trump for something relatively inconsequential because they’re more offended by his crimes against politeness than they are by the breaking of the Geneva convention.

    This is so sad considering how vile a human he is/was
