    He’d apparently rather have his assets seized by the New York attorney general.

    He can use the footage of the sheriffs locking up his properties during the seizures to fund raise. It doesn’t hit the same if he declares bankruptcy for the 7th time in his life.

    Trump is giving way too much credit to his supporters, who openly don’t care about his previous 6 bankruptcies, and have even ridiculously tried to spin said bankruptcies to their GodEmperorDaddy’s credit.

    I thought filing for bankruptcy was smart? Isn’t that what he said before about his previous bankruptcies?

    Different kinds of bankruptcy, but essentially he said they were smart, business decisions: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2015/sep/21/carly-fiorina/trumps-four-bankruptcies/

    “Hundreds of companies” have filed for bankruptcy, Trump said earlier in the debate. “I used the law four times and made a tremendous thing. I’m in business. I did a very good job.”

    Did losing the presidency after I’ve term not make him look like a lost already?

      His followers don’t think he lost, remember. Most of them still think he’s president.

        There’s this thing I’ve noticed on Facebook, I don’t fully understand but they post things Maga really want to be true like ‘try that in a small town singer smashes tailor swift attendance record’ with an obviously unrelated or fake picture. The comments are almost everyone acting like it’s true, there was one about some woke companies share value falling fifty percent with everyone celebrating then once comment linking to a share price tracker pointing out its not even close to true.

        I don’t know who makes them or why but the comnent section believes them.

          This is why I deleted all of my social media accounts years ago. All I have now is a mastodon account.

          I don’t really consider this social media in the same way. Lemmy is a social news aggregator, so it’s adjacent to social media, but people here aren’t friends, we’re all anonymous. It’s not really the same thing. Perhaps one might call it “pseudosocial media”.

    I don’t know why he would be worried about bankruptcy making him look bad. It’s never bothered him before…

      Only his businesses have declared bankruptcy before. He’s never declared personal bankruptcy. If you declares his personal bankruptcy, his whole empire could come crumbling down.
