BigRedBuster Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Hmmm.....well, instead of $400 million, now he owes $230 million. Quote An ethics watchdog group has accused President Donald Trump's reelection campaign of obscuring nearly $170 million worth of campaign spending through so-called "pass-through" vendors linked to campaign leadership instead of disclosing the true recipients of the funds. In an FEC complaint filed on Tuesday, the Washington-based nonpartisan group Campaign Legal Center said American Made Media Consultants and Parscale Strategy, two companies set up and by run by campaign leadership, including former campaign manager Brad Parscale, have been disguised as providing a variety of services to the campaign, when in reality they have essentially served as "clearing house" firms that dole out contracts and payments to various subcontractors and vendors without revealing the ultimate recipients of the donor money. 2 1 Link to comment

The above probably explains this: https://www.local10.com/news/local/2020/09/28/former-trump-campaign-manager-brad-pascale-armed-barricades-self-in-fl-home-police-called/ Ex-Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale hospitalized; was armed and threatening himself in Fort Lauderdale home Quote Brad Parscale, the former campaign manager for Donald Trump who was replaced by the President less than four months before the 2020 election, was armed with a gun and threatening to harm himself at his Fort Lauderdale home on Sunday afternoon, according to police and campaign officials. Police responded to a home in the upscale Seven Isles neighborhood around 4 p.m. in reference to a man barricaded inside a house. When officers arrived on the scene, they made contact with the woman, the man’s wife, who had called 911. She told police that her husband was armed, had access to multiple firearms inside the house and was threatening to kill himself. Police have not confirmed that the barricaded man was Parscale, who worked for Trump, but records confirm that the property in the 2300 block of Desota Drive in Fort Lauderdale is owned by Parscale, 44, and his wife, Candice. Local 10 spoke to neighbors who also said it was the home of the former advisor to the President. Fort Lauderdale Police said that man was transported to Broward Health Medical Center placed under the Baker Act, which allows anyone deemed to be a threat to themselves or others to be detained for 72 hours for psychiatric evaluation. Police have not confirmed if any shots were fired. They did determine that no one else was in the home. A statement from President Trump’s Campaign Communications Director, Tim Murtaugh, states: “Brad Parscale is a member of our family and we all love him. We are ready to support him and his family in any way possible.” Parscale was demoted from the campaign manager’s post in July but remained part of the campaign, helping run its digital operation.

TGHusker Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Trump literally can not afford to lose the election. https://theweek.com/articles/940021/trump-literally-cant-afford-lose-election Quote But the newly obtained "tax records show that Mr. Trump has once again done what he says he regrets, looking back on his early 1990s meltdown: personally guaranteed hundreds of millions of dollars in loans, a decision that led his lenders to threaten to force him into personal bankruptcy," the Times reported Sunday. "This time around, he is personally responsible for loans and other debts totaling $421 million, with most of it coming due within four years. Should he win re-election, his lenders could be placed in the unprecedented position of weighing whether to foreclose on a sitting president." Along with more than $300 million in loans coming due in the next four years for which he is personally responsible, Trump might have to pay back the federal government more than $100 million, including interest and penalties, if the Internal Revenue Service determines he improperly obtained the $72.9 million tax rebate. Trump has valuable assets he might be able to sell (but really doesn't want to) — but he also currently serves as the top executive of the same federal government that includes the IRS and America's federal prosecutors.

FrantzHardySwag Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Remember guys, Stacey Abrams $220,000 disqualified her from being able to run the state of Georgia according to the GOP. Applying the same line of thinking, what would $1.1 Billion in debt imply? 1 Link to comment

While I would normally agree with this, this is a man who had his breakdown as documents are made very public about financial misdeeds of organization/people he was closely tied to. One would wonder what would set someone off, like, misrepresenting monetary deeds that would likely leave him in prison or on the mafia list. Suicide might just be an easy out against what could be lurking. 1 Link to comment

knapplc Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Trump has been such a useful tool for the GOP. Got them three Supreme Court Justices and how many hundreds of lower court judges. And I'm old enough to remember when the GOP used to rail against "activist judges" who "legislate from the bench." 1 2 1 Link to comment
FrantzHardySwag Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Honest to God, Biden should just badger Trump about who owns his debt, the entire debate. Make it clear that someone owns Trump, and in part owns America - and we want to know who it is. 1 Link to comment

knapplc Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Fox News will not be distracted by petty things like a scam artist in the White House holding massive debt. Their headline today? Asking the CRUCIAL question: WHERE'S HUNTER? You cannot make this up. 2 Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Yeah...and the 3rd district will be about 85% Trump. If there ever was a region of a state that could be called an echo chamber....it's here. 1 Link to comment
