Donald Trump may be the man America needs. Having been through four bankruptcies, the ridiculous buffoon with the worst taste since Caligula is uniquely positioned to lead the most indebted organization in the history of the human race.
The Trump conglomerate is the Argentina of limited-liability companies, having been in bankruptcy as recently as 2009. To be sure, a lot of companies went bankrupt around then. The Trump gang went bankrupt in 2004, too, and in 2001. Before that, Trump was in bankruptcy court back in 1991 when his Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City the nations first casino-cum-strip-club, an aesthetic crime against humanity that is tacky by the standards of Atlantic City turned out to be such a loser that Trump could not make his debt payments.
The closing of that casino has been announced at least twice it was supposed to shut its doors in December, but it limps on.
Donald Trump, being Donald Trump, announced his candidacy at Trump Plaza, making a weird grand entrance via escalator going down, of course, the symbolism of which is lost on that witless ape. But who could witness that scene the self-made man who started with nothing but a modest portfolio of 27,000 New York City properties acquired by his millionaire slumlord father, barely out of his latest bankruptcy and possibly headed for another one as the casino/jiggle-joint bearing his name sinks into the filthy mire of the one U.S. city that makes Las Vegas look respectable, a reality-television grotesque with his plastic-surgery-disaster wife, grunting like a baboon about our countrys brand and his own vast wealth and not see the peerless sign of our times?

(15,261 posts)He has no control of what he says and is very capable of compounding his outrage. At the end of the day he seems able to survive multiple severe bankruptcies, although what is unclear must take some sort of talent.
