I traditionally have a thread heading to the election, here we go.
Get out the popcorn for this one.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to formally announce next week he is running for president in 2024, NBC News reported Thursday, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
The governor's official entry into the Republican primary field will put him head-to-head with former President Donald Trump, the party's current frontrunner for the nomination. Trump has already spent months treating DeSantis as his primary campaign rival, thrashing him with torrents of criticism over his gubernatorial record, his political skills and his personality.
I guess having an assassination attempt is good for business.

Trump has a net worth of $6.6 billion, ranking him among the top 500 of the world's wealthiest people, according to our latest estimates. His net worth increased to over $8 billion from about $4.1 billion when Trump Media went public on March 26, when the company's stock peaked at $79.38. We estimate Trump Media to be worth between $40 million and $90 million.
He is still spending other people's money......four bankruptcies later and he pleads poverty when a big fine comes to his door. Why bankers gave him money I could never figure out. I'm guessing a few were his Epstein buddies:) What a loser.

Well, we know he lied about the value of his collateral - that's been proven in court. US bankers cut him off years ago - that's why he had to go to Europe, including Russia, to borrow.

Tangentially, trump media shares are selling today for just over $18/share.
trump media reported total revenue just over $750K with a loss of $58 million in 2023.
Those stratospheric valuations are sounding decidedly Enron-esque.
Imagine being called a failure after becoming the POTUS, taking a pay cut and downgrading to the WH. Loool.

How much did he get paid to be the POTUS ?
We don't really know what Trump was paid during his presidency. We do know that he has not conducted his life in a manner which suggests that he felt at all confined by precedent, policy or actual law. We know that he committed business fraud and defrauded a charity and students in a "university" scam. I think it's reasonable to presume that Trump was bending and breaking all barriers.
Do you suppose that you know everything that you need to know about the Kushner's unprecedented positions in Trump's administration? Maybe you do.
Perhaps in a Harris administration we will have an uncovering of the political and personal corruption that certainly marked the Trump presidency. There are so many of his former cabinet members and high level advisors who earn against another Trump term. They know.

Well with the way the SS protected him, who cares. You don't think the SS pays for it? LOL
What the heck kind of remark is that? Wasting millions of tax dollars on inflated room and amenity rates at Trump properties from 2017 to 2020 has nothing to do with the recent failures of his SS team.
What we do know is that we watched Trump break typical SS protocol for politically motivated reasons during his presidency. We do know that the SS had been struggling for awhile with some very concerning lapses before the assassination attempt. What we don't know is if Trump himself adversely affected his SS detail over time. Trump is a rule breaker who isn't very interested in mundane details. He bends protocol and precedent. Trump is a spur of the moment, gut feeling kind of character. Even after the shooting, he was defiant with their SS protocol to keep the POTUS down and under cover. I think it's possible that the SS team that staffs Trump's security detail may have been influenced by the influencer and that's why they were inattentive to detail and sloppily communicating with poor follow up.
