Donald Trump Is Suddenly Returning To New York City – Why?

For the very first time since he lost the 2020 presidential election last November, former President Donald Trump will leave his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and travel to New York City, which seems more than a bit odd considering the nasty things the failed, one-term president has said about the Big Apple over the past few years.

According to The Guardian, Trump was expected to arrive in New York as soon as Sunday evening:

“Donald Trump could arrive in New York City for his first visit since leaving the White House as soon as Sunday night, according to multiple reports.

“On Saturday the New York Daily News quoted former Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen referring to a gold statue which made a splash at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Florida last week, when he said: ‘The human Donald must … be put on display for the multitude of NYC followers.'”

But why exactly would Trump be going back to New York? Only two explanations make any sense.

First, his trip to New York may have something to do with the legal problems he’s facing in the state, where he’s under investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. and Attorney General Letitia James. Perhaps he has to give a deposition or meet with his attorneys.

 

The other possibility is that Donald is returning home to try and revive his failing business, which is reportedly going down the drain at a rapid rate and could soon be bankrupt if some of his lenders call in his loans and demand immediate repayment.

There’s something strange about this spur-of-the moment trip back to Trump’s old haunts, and none of the likely reasons bodes well for him.

The Trump Organization Is Hemorrhaging Massive Amounts Of Money: Report

Donald Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, is hemorrhaging money, especially at its golf resorts, according to a report from Forbes:

“The Trump Organization, which has … declared losses of roughly $90 million at its European golf resorts, according to an analysis of records from Ireland and the United Kingdom. Since the president opened his Aberdeen course in 2012, he has lost $15.5 million. Business has been even worse at Turnberry, which Trump bought in 2014 for $65 million. Despite investing an additional $75 million or so to fix up the property from 2014 to 2018, the place piled up losses of $58 million, according to an analysis of financial reports. The 2019 figures, first reported by the Scotsman, bring Turnberry’s total losses to $61 million since 2014.”

All of Trump’s golf resorts — which were once a major source of revenue for the company — have seen dramatic declines since Trump took office:

For example, at the 643-room Trump National Doral in Miami, Forbes notes:

“Revenues dropped to $87.5 million in 2016, and profits slid to $12.4 million. After election night, the resort lost 100,000 booked room nights, according to someone familiar with the business. Revenue plummeted to $75.4 million in 2017, and profits sank to $4.3 million.”

This latest bad financial news comes on top of the losses suffered by Trump’s hotels during the coronavirus pandemic, which has also negatively impacted the Trump Organization’s bottom line, as was first reported earlier this year:

“Seventeen of Trump’s clubs and hotels have closed. The remainder of Trump properties are operating at a fraction of their normal capacity: hotels running with restaurants closed, golf clubs operating with clubhouses shut down, and golfers warned not to share carts or touch the flagsticks.”

Simply put, not only is Donald Trump and his company facing serious legal problems in the very near future, there’s a very real possibility that the Trump Organization could be on the verge of bankruptcy.

Looks like karma is starting to catch up with the ex-president in a major way.

Social Media WTF?!

Wacky Conspiracy Theorist Granny Says The Biden White House Is Just A Hollywood Movie Set

If there’s one thing that right-wingers excel at, it’s spinning wild conspiracy theories that confirm their own twisted view of the world.

For example, you probably recall Alex Jones from “Infowars” has claimed that mass school shootings such as the one in 2012 at Sandy Hook that killed 26 people — including 20 children aged six and seven — were “false flag” operations staged by the U.S. government for the purpose of garnering support for gun control legislation. Jones later recanted his disgusting smear because he was sued by parents of the kids who died on that horrible day.

Now, however, with social media ascendant, the average Joe or Jane can easily post their own fact-free theories on the internet and get millions of views.

For example, a woman who goes by the handle “crazy4fun72” has been recording videos and posting them on TikTok in which she asserts that the Biden White House isn’t real at all. Instead, she assures viewers, it’s just a giant movie set where Joe Biden is playing the role of POTUS:

“So, I guess this needs to be said tooooooooo. All you people who think Biden is the president, you guys cannot get no stupider, ok? He’s not in the White House. It’s closed down. He is on a movie set! You guys are so freaking ignorant that I just have to laugh and laugh! ‘Cause you’re not hurting my feelings. Never one time did Trump ever have to fake anything that he’s done. Not one time! He don’t fake shit.”

Crazy4Fun goes on to add that the American people need to “wake the fuck up.”

In previous videos she’s made and shared with other gullible conservative lemmings, Crazy4Fun also said that Winter Storm Uri which hit Texas and caused massive power and water outages, was “fake” and the snow had been manufactured by the government, working with Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

While it’s currently not a crime in this country to be stupid, maybe it’s time we make it one.

Maria Bartiromo Laughs At Lindsey Graham For Saying ‘1 Million’ Migrants Will Be At The Border By Summer

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo was so stunned by a blatant lie that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told on her show Sunday morning that she couldn’t resist laughing at him as she went to commercial.

During a discussion of policies coming from the Biden administration, Graham claimed that a million people would be coming to the United States illegally:

“By the summer, you’re going to have a million people coming into this country illegally. All because the liberals can do it.”

Bartiromo, who is normally eager to back up the lies members of the GOP tell on her show, immediately pushed back on the senator, laughing as she told him:

“A million people sounds like it’s more than a couple of years totals by the way. 2021 — a million people, that’s more than ’18 and ’19.”

Desperately trying to regain his footing, Graham declared:

“Get ready for an invasion at the border.”

Fear and lies. That’s all Republicans have when it comes to “debating” anything President Joe Biden does. Not a single GOP senator cast a vote for the COVID-19 rescue package that was narrowly advanced in the upper chamber on Saturday. They have no answers, no solutions, and no facts. They just have hyperbole and bullshit. No wonder they no longer control anything in the nation’s capital.

Here’s Lindsey making a fool of himself:

Former Prosecutor: DA In Georgia Has Trump Nailed On Election Meddling Charges

With all of the legal issues swirling around failed, one-term former President Donald Trump, it’s sometimes difficult to keep up with all of the jurisdictions currently investigating and possibly preparing to indict him.

One of the cases that hasn’t gotten nearly as much ink as the ongoing probes in New York is the election meddling investigation being conducted by Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis, who believes that the Donald meddled in the 2020 election in the Peach State by calling Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and urging him to “find” thousands of votes that would turn the tide and allow Trump to be declared the winner.

Willis’ case, according to former U.S. Attorney Michael J. Moore, is a strong one.

Moore was asked by CNN host Fredricka Whitfield:

“Michael, how difficult is it to build a case around fraud in particular?”

Moore responded:

“You can build it. You just have to be specific in your claims and allegations,. You want to show somebody had an intent to do something wrong, and that they tried to influence somebody else to participate in it or to turn things in a way that made it more favorable to the defendant. So fraud is a tough case on its own. But again, in these cases, you either trace the money, you trace the phone call, you trace the emails.”

He added that the phone call Trump made is compelling evidence:

“What you find is these fraudsters and folks out there get caught by their own tongue. They just are unable to keep their mouths shut. That’s why we’ve got an hour-long, essentially, confession about the president in Georgia on the case. He is soliciting somebody, that being the secretary of state, to commit election fraud. When you have a confession, the case against is a lot simpler.”

The tape of the phone call Trump made to Raffensperger makes clear that the former president did indeed try to meddle with the election results in Georgia. The grand jury Willis has impaneled will indict Trump and the case will go to trial. And there’s a very real possibility that Trump will be found guilty.

Fani Willis has Donald Trump nailed on the charge of election meddling. His phone call is all the evidence she needs to prove the serial sexual assaulter did indeed attempt to overturn the will of voters in Georgia.

Game, set, and match, Fani Willis.

Here’s Michael J. Moore on CNN Saturday:
