Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Benggaul]

Please, we all know he's not fit enough to bounce around on one of those bouncy balls. FAKE NEWS!

To be fair the video quality is poor and I thought he was just hopping around on his enlarged prostate made worse through mass consumption of fast foods.

I believe I mentioned this before, but I read that many advertisers do shy away from Fox. Well, mainly the nightly shows cause they are too controversial. The big money is Fox news is part of every basic cable package and they have some sweet deal where they get $5-8$, forgot the exact number, in each package. So if you have cable and hate Fox you still giving them that sweet, sweet money.

Not trying to break it down too much but trying to generate revenue for Trump tv will be something. No way is he getting on cable. So yeah people would have to quit cable to just watch Trump. Anyways probably too deep of a business discussion.

He plans on doing digital only according to reports...

It will be interesting to see if Fox finally does turn on him completely and Republicans fracture fully. Murdock is sick of his shit.

My assumption is that Trump will simply buy OANN once out of office and rebrand it to Trump TV.

With what money I have no idea.

With the millions he is grifting from his supporters for a fake Legal Defense Fund.

[kaelleria]

While our campaign finance laws are currently garbage, that's a bit of a stretch. A PAC can't buy a media station.

I have a feeling that's going to turn into a REAL Legal Defense Fund once he leaves office. Plenty of people lined up with lawsuits once the protections of the office aren't in place.

He could always transfer money from the PAC to himself, like his inauguration slush fund.

Is it legal? Hmm, probably not. But it is a possibility.

With what money? He's got hundreds of millions in loans that are coming due.

No US bank will touch him.
Deutche Bank is looking to drop him and the debt he owes them.

He doesn't have a ton of liquid assets, given that he always talks about his wealth through his properties.

He won't buy them, he'll license his "Trump" brand to them and get paid for it, probably.

It's very much not legal.

Since when has Trump ever let silly things like "What he wants to do is illegal" stop him?

He can totally do it... but I'm pretty sure he'll find a Biden DOJ is much less friendly to him than his own.

Uhm... Doctors Without Borders are coming to help with US covid crisis... that seems... very bad...

In just four years, we've functionally achieved Third World status under Trump and the Republican party.

I'm so proud that America is Great Again.

Seriously though, I'm glad they're coming. Everything I've been reading/hearing is that there's no long just a bottleneck of getting doctors/resources to where the hotspots are...it's that the whole country is now functionally a hotspot and there simply aren't enough beds/doctors period.

Mark Zuckerberg told an all-staff meeting that Steve Bannon has not violated enough policies to be suspended from Facebook. The ex-Trump adviser suggested in a now-removed video that FBI Director Christopher Wray and Dr. Anthony Fauci should be beheaded

I posted this in Facebook thread and while nobody has to read all my posts, this is pretty important so I hope more people catch it here.

Zuckerberg is dangerous. Is Zuckerberg becoming more dangerous than Murdoch at Fox? Murdoch has 20 years, but Facebook is doing one hell of a job supporting fascism and letting it flourish.

I don't know if people remember this but he wanted to run for office maybe he sees the right as his chance, he went full Trump.

had to fix that for ya. We should use the new modern reality tv terminology instead of old cold war terminology.

Depends on how we gauge. in the US? I think both are equally as dangerous, and equally responsible for the position the country is in right now. Globally I think Zuckerberg might be the most dangerous man alive.

For sure. the amount of death threats I have reported that go unpunished is scary. I also have reported two profiles that have been spamming insane lies 24/7 since the election and nothing is being done. There is also no way to actually contact anyone at FB.

Zuckerberg is a piece of shit. But he's allowed to dictate what messages are and aren't ok for his company. The simple fact of the matter is that, when rational people leave Facebook, then all that's left are the morons and they are now the customer base Zuckerberg he has to appeal to.

I feel like if we as a country improved our educational system and made ethics important in business, then Zuckerberg, Facebook, Trump, etc. wouldn't have very much power.
