An estimate this week in the states is that the Trump Organisation has lost ~$1bn in revenue globally since the start of the crisis!
Yep if he had invested his dad's cash in a SP500 tracker he would be about 5 times richer than he now is!He seems to be quite good at that. He's not a great businessman, he just had a big float.
He’s a rich bloke.
6 Corporate Bankruptcies
Trump has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy for his companies six times. Three of the casino bankruptcies came during the recession of the early 1990s and the Gulf War, both of which contributed to hard times in Atlantic City, New Jersey's gambling facilities.
He also entered a Manhattan hotel and two casino holding companies into bankruptcy.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows companies to restructure or wipe away much of their debt to other companies, creditors, and shareholders while remaining in business but under the supervision of a bankruptcy court.
Chapter 11 is often called "reorganization" because it allows the business to emerge from the process more efficient and on good terms with its creditors.

You do have to ask, who does keep funding him if his businesses keep going under?

People who have money the origin of which they wish to keep confidential. So they lend Trump money that they then recover in a clean state. You might say that he operates as a kind of "money laundry".You do have to ask, who does keep funding him if his businesses keep going under?
Hey, look on the bright side: at least we're not an amalgamation of fifty different states each with their own laws, jostling against a federal government led by a contorversial business tycoon!You know I really wish someone would have ensured that the legislation, in whatever form, was the same amongst the four nations to avoid even further confusion like this! Thanks for pointing that out as I wasn't aware of this difference between England and Wales.

Well, there is that...our fake-tan-coloured "friend" in Leftpondia is continuing to show his true colours, isn't he?
Funny you should mention that . After reading the post above you , I did wonder if he might get re elected. My youngest son lives in the us and I have some of their news linked to my social media and as much as some are slating Trump , many still support him.He does appear to have a point about the WHO, in particular that for some time they were propagating the line that there was no evidence of person to person transmission.
The situation in America, Trump’s influence, and how it might affect his forthcoming election, might well be worthy of a whole thread of its own!

The question is, what's Trump, what's the individual states, and what's just luck of the draw? It'll take a while for that to filter through.I find it difficult to analyse what’s going on over there as we only see snippets, and of course the federal structure appears to be placing much more responsibility on the individual states.
I’m not sure Trump has necessarily done any worse than most of the European countries, however their death rate isn’t good when you have an election coming. Trump is already appearing to be in the defensive, but then again this is his normal strategy so it may serve him well again who knows.
Trump did get a travel ban in quite early, that’s one area I feel Britain fell short in.

I certainly wouldn't bet against Trump - 'You can fool some of the people all of the time, ...' - that's all he has to do.November will be a close race but I'm not convinced by Biden's chances. Trump's base are committed to him in spite of his dire record and Biden himself has admitted he'll unlikely turn them. A lot depends upon whom Biden picks as his running mate, and Obama's support out on the stump (once that's finally allowed) - these may help swing things but I wouldn't count on anything right now.

I think it's his usual issue of just lying through his teeth (or perhaps his childlike "I want the world to be like this so I'll say it is and then it will be" rather than deliberate attempt to lie) that has made his handling of the situation so awful. As others have said the nitty gritty business it's hard to differentiate between State and Federal level who was supposed to do what and when.
For many in flyover country Trump would have to personally come to their homes, kick them square in the nethers and insult their families before they'd consider voting for Joe Biden.
He does appear to have a point about the WHO, in particular that for some time they were propagating the line that there was no evidence of person to person transmission.
His base will always support him. Many because they truly believe, some because they don't know how to quit him. But, as I said to someone else recently, he cannot win on his base (c. 35% of the electorate) alone. For that matter, neither can a Democratic candidate (c. 40% of the electorate). Whoever wins will do so by bringing over swing voters.My youngest son lives in the us and I have some of their news linked to my social media and as much as some are slating Trump , many still support him.

I suspect that the Democrats may have a problem bringing over all of the Bernie Sanders vote. I would have thought that the likes of Ocasio-Cortez, other members of 'The Squad' and their supporters might want to wait for someone rather more sympathetic to their cause and offer no more than token support. This would bring party support rather closer to parity, meaning the swing vote will be even more significantHis base will always support him.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the party can be "too big of a tent," and distanced herself ideologically from 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden, saying they would not be part of the same political party in another country. ...
She said members of the Democratic majority in Congress are too focused on the concerns of voters in districts that have historically been Republican and are currently represented by moderate Democrats. ...
“For so long, when I first got in, people were like, ‘Oh, are you going to basically be a tea party of the left?’ And what people don’t realize is that there is a tea party of the left, but it’s on the right edges, the most conservative parts of the Democratic Party," Ocasio-Cortez said. ...
When asked how she would fit into Congress during a potential Biden presidency, Ocasio-Cortez replied with a groan, "Oh, God." “In any other country, Joe Biden and I would not be in the same party, but in America, we are," she said. ...
I think it depends on two things: the final impact of the pandemic on the USA, and who Biden chooses as his VP.I can't call it , do you have a prediction.
"And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?
"So it'd be interesting to check that."
Pointing to his head, Mr Trump went on: "I'm not a doctor. But I'm, like, a person that has a good you-know-what."
I saw this a couple hours ago and have just about managed to pick my jaw up from the floor.In the past when people have said "Trump's an idiot" others have defended him saying "No, he's actually quite smart."

The problem is that many Americans will vote for anyone who isn't the Democratic Party candidate (and many others will vote for anyone who isn't the Republican's).I don't which is worse really the fact that this man is the president or the likely hood that the many Americans will vote him in for a second term.
