    Its amazing that he was able to get away with it for so long. Times are changing, accountability is coming. No doubt he will challenge it but, after that… then what?

      I bet he and his family will lose so much as to “only” millionaires and be forced to move to Florida so they can continue their shady business practices. But, it may be a bit harder for them to deal with big banks and such since since now they’re definitely known to lie about nearly everything. Thinking about it, Deutsch Bank probably won’t care and they’ll be able to continue the grift with them. Who knows, maybe we’ll see Jared or Ivanka or Don Jr try their hand at politics. Imagine: Jarevanka 2024, the first husband and wife team to run for the office of the president. That would be nuts but I could see them doing it.

        I’m still convinced he never actually wanted the presidency, he wanted to raise his profile and start a media network or something probably.

        Perhaps it was the rain, or the thin crowds, but Trump did not look enthusiastic at his inaugeration. He looked put-upon.

          Mm-hmm, very much ‘Deer in the headlights.’ And it wasn’t just him - remember how even after the election was over, Fox & Friends were running hit pieces on Hillary for weeks? The whole Republican empire had planned on losing, they had no idea what to run in the event Trump won.
