The Moron said he wishes he never ran for office

[BigmanPigman]

and he wasn't kidding either. Someone asked him yesterday what advice he would give the 20 year old Donald. His answer was, "Don't run for president".

If he is as miserable as everyone, including himself apparently, says he is then why is he campaigning for 2020? This is mentioned as a real possibility.

[HipChick]

1. Simple...he owes..biggly...

if Jared is in 1B debt, Trump's is prob 2x that..

[dchill]

53. He also owes Vlad some serious vig.

It's more than money now.

[Eliot Rosewater]

76. 1.7 billion has been my estimate for a while now. He is of course on the putin

payroll and owes them and is being blackmailed, this is clear and KNOWN and provable by his actions.

The amount is unknown, but this is a good estimate.

[HipChick]

83. Press Conference...I'm being blackmailed by...

would that keep him out of jail?

[irisblue]

2. Yeah me too. I wish you'd never run trump.

[Hugin]

6. That makes three of us.

Probably more.

[lagomorph777]

37. Roughly 6.9 billion of us.

[yardwork]

60. First time I've ever agreed with Trump.

I'll help him pack.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. My Guess is Trump is Broke.

He is playing a Check Kiting Game hoping for a big payday and then bail.

[Tatiana]

13. Yep.

He's in this for the money and nothing else. The government and RNC is providing rental income. He was hoping he could get the $$$ from Russia. But he's finding that even with the Russians rigging things to provide him with all the power possible under our democratic system of government, he still can't run things like a true CEO-like autocrat.

This is no fun. He can't screw around with his multiple porn stars and Playboy bunnies. He can't party like he used to. He HATES the horrible press that he gets and that people loathe him.

He would rather go back to his old lifestyle, only he (and apparently the son-in-law's family too) is broke.

[brush]

21. He was counting on the piece of the half-trillion dollar oil deal Putin promised...

if he lifted the sanctions O placed on that deal.

That's the reason oil man Tillerson was SOS. He was supposed to expedite the deal.

trump hasn't been able to lift the sanctions, the deal is off, Putin is pissed, Tillerson is fired, trump doesn't get his piece of the half-trillion dollar pie.

[Wellstone ruled]

22. Nobody seems to kow where the heck

the 19% commission went to after being deposited in a Account in Qatar. Believe it was a Rosnef payoff.

[Tatiana]

32. Extremely important point.

Russian (Putin) was also counting on Trump's thawing of U.S.-Russia relations to draw more foreign investment (and perhaps provide more places to launder their funds).

Russia said on Wednesday it sold a stake in oil giant Rosneft for 10.5 billion euros ($11.3 billion) to Qatar and commodities trader Glencore, confounding expectations that the Kremlin's standoff with the West would scare off major investors.

The deal, to acquire a 19.5 percent stake in Rosneft from the Russian state, suggests the lure of taking a share in one of the world's biggest oil companies outweighs the risks that come with Western sanctions imposed on Russia over the conflict in Ukraine.

It pointed to a possible reassessment by foreign investors of the risks of dealing with Russia, at a time when the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president has heightened expectations of a thaw between Moscow and Washington.

36. Bingo,

that's one of the stories. The Guardian Euro posted a similiar story with Wilbur Ross connection via a Cyprus Bank and Deucthe Bank tie up.

Hunch this is suppose to be Donnie's Going away gift from Vald for services to the Motherland.

[Eliot Rosewater]

77. And SIXTY MILLION of our citizens wont care as long as Roe is overturned and

black people cant vote or rent or work or live

[Wellstone ruled]

80. And these so called Religions wonder why

their so called Congregations are shrinking. Duh! Education is their worst enemy as well as failed causes.

As someone said,Religion is the Drug of the masses.

[Pluvious]

29. And tomorrow is forecast for Stormy weather hehheh n/t

[dchill]

55. "Putin is pissed, Tillerson is fired..."

by Putin.

[Blue_true]

64. I can see Trump thinking.

That he could raid the US Treasury like Putin does Russia or some tinpot dictator does. It seems that he is just that stupid. But he is finding out things here are not that easy.

[dchill]

54. I've long believed Trump's net worth to be...

some king of large negative number.

[Blue_true]

65. Yes, I don't see his wealth claims.

It seems to me that for him to have a prayer of being positive, he would have to liquidate everything, but in liquidations, a person rarely get more than pennies on the dollar back.

[Eliot Rosewater]

79. Most of his businesses go bankrupt because he is a terrible businessperson who relies on cheating

others to survive and profit.

By the time he was owned by Russia it was all their money in his business, without them he cant get a cell phone.

[dchill]

82. The Fool definitely is owned by Russia.

And, apparently, so is the entire Republican party, who refuse to acknowledge the fact.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. I think a great many of us wish he'd never run either.

We all know what an ego he has. I think this is why he may run again--he wants to be seen as a winner.

[Grammy23]

27. No one is ever prepared for the Presidency as far as the impact it has on the person's Life and

The life of his or her family. The loss of privacy just comes with the job but the degree of that loss is probably shocking. He could have learned from President and Mrs. Obama and previous presidents who would have tried to give them tips and ideas for maintaining a real life even living in the White House. tRump is much too arrogant to listen to anyone and I suspect was less than attentive when they were guests of the Obama’s.

In addition, it is obvious that tRump lives a pretty crude and less than sterling lifestyle given the things that have leaked out about him. So it probably has been a shock to find out he can’t be out partying and running around with porn stars like he’d prefer. Melania has to know him better than any of us so she is probably getting a good laugh at how cramped his lifestyle has become. But those interviews with the “ladies” tRump has paid off probably still sting to hear it first hand what he was doing while she was recuperating from childbirth.

[MaryMagdaline]

49. All of the above and he has no Michelle, Hillary,

Nancy, BObby, to share the stress with ... someone who loves and is loyal to you. The man has absolutely no friends. Not even a dog!

[Blue_true]

68. Good points.

But all narcissists are that way. When stripped to their core, there is nothing.

[Blue_true]

67. Hence the grey hairs that Presidents get.

The life seems like a fishbowl life to me, with every single move being watched. A criminal minded family like the Trumps are bound to screw up, maybe the scrutiny is why that Lara woman is bailing.

[CrispyQ]

74. "Being president doesn't change who you are, it reveals who you are." Michelle Obama

Everyday reveals more of the vulgar man that Trump is.

[Blue_true]

66. Or now that he is in, him just walking the hell away.

And letting democrats clean up the mess he is making.

[Blue_true]

5. He can't wish as hard as I can. nt

[UTUSN]

7. If only he had listened to us - or anybody. Not too late, RESIGNATION is an option.

More advice for him: Ditch PENCE before he does it.

[PJMcK]

57. Trump should make a televised announcement

He should fire Pence and blame all of the Russian shit on him. He could order Sessions to bring charges against Pence pinning all of the crimes on him.

Then, in an act of self-sacrifice, Trump should pardon himself of any and all crimes that may have been committed by him or his administration and for the good of the country, he should resign. (Of course, then we'd have President Ryan. Ugh.)

Won't happen but I have dreams.

[onecent]

58. I don't think any of us have to worry about Ryan becoming President, EVER.

He's knows everything about the Dotard....but keeps away from him...but he's there..
I think Ryan would be just as hard, if not harder than Dotard...I think if Mueller starts
running with everything he's got....Ryan and McDonnel will not be around.

Just my opinion.

[PJMcK]

59. Agreed about Ryan and McConnell

They're both complicit in the Russian scandal. They knew. They profited.

Wouldn't it be awesome if Robert Mueller gets them all?!

[onecent]

72. Yes, it really would...(Like how about this week?)

[Blue_true]

69. Not yet.

Maybe January 21, 2019 he can do all of that. Then hopefully Nancy Pelosi will take over until January 21, 2021.

[PJMcK]

70. Yeah, I had a similar thought

If Trump/Pence are ousted after the Democrats take the House this November and Ms. Pelosi becomes Speaker again, she could nominate Hillary Clinton as her VP and once she's confirmed, President Pelosi could resign making everything as it should have been.

It would have made a good few episodes of "The West Wing," my favorite fairy tale.

[JenniferJuniper]

8. Stephen King should write a novel about it

A sequel to 11/22/63

6/14/66

[EffieBlack]

9. He finally said something I agree with

[Skittles]

10. LOL

stupid fucking asshole cannot bluff his way in THIS job

GO FUCK YOURSELF DONALD

[milestogo]

11. Yeah, we wish you never ran for president too.

[RainCaster]

12. Finally something we can agree on

Time to quit Donny Boy, before you are taken out of the White House in chains.

[Spider Jerusalem]

14. Ego. He could quit, but then he'd be a loser. His ego won't let him walk away. (n/t)

[Moostache]

42. He is objectively already a loser - by 3 Million plus votes....and he cannot take THAT!

The only reason he would seek re-election would be if the vote was rigged to ensure a popular vote win...an utter impossibility at this point without declaring himself Fuhrer first...

[Initech]

15. Putin has something on him.

Thats why we're stuck with this raving lunatic.

[silverweb]

47. Yup.

In a nutshell.

[OAITW r.2.0]

16. I wish he hadn't either.

My question is why? Never seemed that was of real interest, other than a vanity run to get name exposure. Why would he want the job, honestly? To be hated by 1/2 the country and destroy your brand in the process. To gain what, exactly? He has never articulated a position on reason to run for this office.

I think he ran with the expectation that he'd lose (but willingly prepared to destroy the HRC Presidency by contesting in perpetuity)...because that was what Putin demanded. What does Putin have on Trump? Who really decided on starting the US-China tariff war?

We really need to know what the Trump-Putin relationship is all about.

[greyl]

17. OBAMA: If I could go back in time, here's what I would tell myself in 7 years ago

I think the most important thing I would say to an earlier version of myself would be to communicate constantly and with confidence to the American people. Because this place has a tendency to isolate you. You recognize that, particularly during times of stress, the American people need to hear from their president in terms of what it is exactly that we're trying to do.

http://www.businessinsider.com/barack-obama-today-show-state-of-union-2016-1

("7 years ago" was the oldest Obama hypothetical I found)

[still_one]

18. He isnt keep doing, he is lying out of his teeth

[FakeNoose]

19. I know why he's campaigning for 2020

It's so he can make a profit while he's in office. He's billing the campaign for his travel costs and charging them for stays at his own hotels, rides in his own jet (not the Air Force One) and any golfing or entertainment fees he incurs.

The campaign had excess money and he had to figure out a way to help himself to it. So that's what he's doing. Now there's money raised for the next campaign, and more money to swindle. He doesn't even want the job!

[OneBro]

20. Cant get permission.

No way Putin will let him resign.

[moondust]

23. So...it's not like being

a lousy TV actor and snake oil salesman who only attracts the attention of a few wacky fans?

[dalton99a]

24. He's full of shit

as always

[yuiyoshida]

25. His ego won't make him quit...

I wish something would.

[tblue37]

26. So he can still have rallies where he can be adored by his fans, and so he can get

campaign funds to pay for those rallies and for travel to and from them. Also, he can continue to raise campaign money, which he then funnels into his own pocket by having campaign events and fundraisers at his own properties.

It's at least partly for the grift.

[krispos42]

28. Hey D2S, nobody is making you stay there.

At least... no AMERICAN is.

[vkkv]

30. Trump's not the ONLY person who hates Trump.. We all do, too.

Would anyone really WANT to be him?

Nope - not even him.

[shanny]

31. So he is aware at some level how truly fcked he is.

and how fcking incompetent, clueless and over his head he is (he can't even sorta pretend, like dimson bush did).

Good.

[Iahotdog]

33. What is he waiting for

End it all and quit.

[roamer65]

34. Hes a modern version of Rutherfraud B Hayes.

Hayes said the same thing and was an utterly shitty president as well.

[ProudLib72]

35. 20 year old Donald wouldn't listen

20 year old Donald would trip current Donald and steal his wallet. Then he'd yell, "You're just a stupid old man, loser, pathetic" as he ran off down the alley.

[MaryMagdaline]

71. Pretty accurate, I think

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

38. Wow

I agree with the dotard for a change.

[ecstatic]

39. All his criminal enterprises are going down. He could have kept all the fraudulent

foundations and businesses running had he not become obsessed with President Obama. Now Mueller is on the case. Karma's a bitch!

[Honeycombe8]

40. No, he's not sorry. He loves every minute of it. The power. He finally has the power he yearns for.

He's powerful the world over. The entire world knows the name TRUMP, now. When he speaks, everyone listens.

If he weren't happy with that situation, he wouldn't be campaigning for 2020 and teasing about running for a third term.

Remember....he lies. You can't believe anything he SAYS. Only what he DOES. He's RUNNING FOR 2020 already and accepting donations for that campaign.

[Moostache]

43. Accepting donations? Yes... Sure to run? We'll see...

I would NEVER put it past Trump to try to raise as much $$$$ as possible and then decide to step aside AND keep the cash...he would consider it a "gift" or some other such nonsense.

[Honeycombe8]

45. He might even be spending it for legal fees, for all we know. I hope he's impeached before 2020!!!

Long before.

[Moostache]

46. I could not agree more on impeachment...but unless November gets here faster, we wait... (n/t)

[radical noodle]

41. Running again because

the only thing he hates more than being miserable is making other people happy.

[Jakes Progress]

44. He's running again because of

money.

He will use the campaign donations that he coerces from his stooges to pay his legal bills. And when he or his staff go somewhere, the campaign funds pay. The the expenses for the "campaign" almost all go to trump properties.

He makes money from running.

[struggle4progress]

48. I bet he gets to keep any campaign donations he doesn't spend

[TwistOneUp]

50. The asshat could just fscking quit. nt

[underthematrix]

51. RESIGN

[workinclasszero]

62. +100!

RESIGN now Agent Orange!

[njhoneybadger]

52. You'll be wishing you were never born before this is over, you rotten fuck.

[HipChick]

56. I second that...

[MineralMan]

61. I, too, wish that.

More's the pity.

[smirkymonkey]

63. Believe us, so do we.

Resign Motherfucker!

[Vinca]

73. Hell has officially frozen over. I agree with him. I wish he hadn't run, too.

[onecent]

75. So Do I!!!

[Ohiogal]

78. There are many of us

Who would love to see him put out of his misery!

[samnsara]

81. that make all of us

[raven mad]

84. Miserable? He hasn't got the imagination for it.

Or the empathy.

[drmeow]

85. why is he campaigning for 2020

He hates being president, he loves campaigning. He wants to be a (mostly) ceremonial king.

[LiberalFighter]

86. Easy solution - He should resign.

[LisaL]

87. Don't we all wish the same thing?
