none in the previous 10 years! His cronies will spin it to show how smart he is at business. His supporters won’t stop loving him. (It constantly amazes me how he has totally hoodwinked 40% of the US population. That’s MILLIONS of people... Trump’s ascension has totally laid bare the myth that Americans had some sort of moral superiority.) This kind of stuff is exactly why they love him. Who doesn't want to pay little to no tax? That's part of the American dream! I get all the services and benefits but I pay nothing into it! And that's the Republican party in a nutshell. Maybe, just maybe, if I kiss enough ass and wave my trump flag and shout trump 2020 from the mountaintop, I'll get to be in the little club, too! I've told my girlfriend, if I ever get that bitter about life that I would vote trump or start acting like a trump supporter, please, just take me out back and put a couple of slugs in my head. These people just amaze me. I've wanted (for a while, now) to ask on social media "where do you draw the line? At what point would you say 'I can't vote for him based on that'? But I'd never get a straight answer so why bother.

The reveals won’t change anything to the beliefs of the Trump voters. However, Trump will spend a lot of time saying it’s a lie and explaining he’s very wealthy, as he’s obsessed with that, and it may mean less time to focus on the election itself and Biden.

I know how Trump can prove the NYT piece is a lie: release the damn tax returns. Easy peasy.

(It constantly amazes me how he has totally hoodwinked 40% of the US population. That’s MILLIONS of people...

I think it's an era - where heads of state with seeming impunity, lie through their teeth and appear to get away with it. It is sort of the same here in the UK right now. Covid19 has diverted attention from Brexit (for example the Immigration Bill that is currently getting passed through and noone gives a shit about. The result of this will mean that UK citizens will receive reciprocal treatment in EU countries if they want to live there). There is a similarity with Brexit in the fact that the majority of supporters, are ones most likely to lose out from what they have voted for. I often said that Boris Johnson could take a dump live on TV and the Daily Telegraph will still be praising him. Same with Trump. In the US the power of money to determine who gets to run are even greater. I don't know what you all think, about the viable alternative in such a system. Bernie Sanders' achievements within such a system, is some cause for hope methinks.

At this point, I'm just waiting for him to actually shoot someone on fifth avenue and get away with it.

It's not like McConnell doesn't have the votes anyway - the Supreme court is toast. At least we can still have a shot at getting rid of Trump. I don't particularly care for the Lincoln Project people, but the enemy of my enemy...
