Trump Drops Lawsuit Against Judge Who Doomed His Company (www.thedailybeast.com)

A week into his bank fraud trial, Donald Trump late Thursday night dropped his oddly aggressive lawsuit against the judge overseeing the case—a move that had been seen as a last-minute scramble to avert a potential unraveling of the tycoon’s real estate empire.

But that happened anyway when Justice Arthur F. Engoron concluded the former president was a serial liar who faked the size of his buildings and value of his properties for years, ordering the family business’ licenses to be revoked.

I don’t think he ever wanted to be president. If you can find the footage of election night when it was announced that he won, the look on his was terror. Like he realized in that fraction of a second that he was in over his head.

I do however think he looked at all the other politicians lining their pockets and decided he wanted some of that action.

Of course this isn’t his first attempt. Does anyone here remember when he tried to get the Democratic nomination?

He thought Oprah would be willing to be his VP. Lol. He's the VP of those two.

Yeah he was shocked, and his daughter was openly crying, and those weren't happy tears.
