Donald Trump 2020

[Bruh Man 3,160]

Such courage.

[Brisketexan 104,537]

Wasn't that how Jurassic Park suddenly ended up with male dinosaurs?  
I like how the Panera CEO just glossed over Trump saying, "50% decline, that's not bad", as if to say "There's no way he just said that, just move on dude.."  The Wharton school could make an entire degree plan just out of "Shit you shouldn't do in Business" based entirely on the business exploits of Trump.  From marketing, to ethics, to debt/private credit, international business, and now basic finance.  
There's actually a decent chance that the reason he no longer shouts in public about how much we wants to show us his tax returns is because he only recently found out all those big numbers on his return with parentheses around them, are losses, not gains.  I 

I know this is our typical sarcasm, but...it could totally be real. Not just a class, UT an entire degree built around not doing what trump did. It would have a huge ethics component, it would be built on sound economic principles. Trump has been good at exactly one thing: self-promotion. By every other measure, he’s a huge failure. Use that as a lesson plan, and I’d pay for my kid to get that degree.

[Guest Lobo]

It's not that far-fetched an idea.  I mean, every one of us took some sort of "cautionary tale" course  where you spent a semester on not what to do/what to learn/what to think but not to do/what not to learn/what not to think  in your particular field.  It shouldn't be a major, but certainly a course, if not an entire "emphasis/Tract"  

I promise I could get the professor and the funding for it at McCombs over one bar tab.  Only downside would be certain corporate donors to McCombs could have an issue with it.  And just having one course about it at one of our CSU's at UT...could jeopardize our allocations from the State Leg., not to mention a marked amount of our budget comes from federal funding which still has to go to through a GOP Senate.  Now obviously we wouldn't be able to entertain this course until Trump was out of office, but this could easily be established as an elective before it could turn into a multi-course tract.  There's no challenge in hosting it at Government Dept. or LBJ school, that wouldn't raise any eyebrows even with Republicans---just feeds their ivory tower/liberal hoax mentality.  but to have a serious objective analysis based course at McCombs that looks at how 80% of Trump's moves in business have been failures.  We had/have a couple of courses devoted to how Enron fucked up/covered up, and hell-they were a major donor to our University.  Pretty sure we could pull this off, and levity and humblebrags aside---it would actually serve a tremendous fucking purpose for the future business leaders of our country that walk the halls of McCombs School of Business.

58% of the country figured it out without the burden of going to classes.  The other 42% never will.  No need for a class/degree program.

By most accounts, he did a good job with Trump Tower and the Plaza renovation.  Probably mostly by hiring good people.

Most other things have been some variant of a shit show.

The amazing thing is that he can actually license his name, which seems to be a major source of revenue for the Trump Org.  He's been associated with so many shitty things, long before his presidency, that it's a fucking miracle that anyone will buy anything Trump-branded.

But then, there are influencers, and the Kardashians  . . .  so just kill me please.  No ledge, just a couple of .22LR in the ol noggin.

Politics aside you Trump-lovers, did you think you'd long enough to see an official White House memo making reference to the sitting POTUS and a drug not approved for the reason the POTUS is taking it?  I mean that memo would  have more integrity  if it had SUBJECT:  d-Lysergic Acid Diethylamide.

of course his infantile brain engaged into a "yes, i'm taking hydroxychloroquine." of course, he isn't probably actually taking it, but he's been touting it, so he has to endorse it. in his mind, he MUST double down to be correct. 

Yup. Occam's razor an' stuff.

My best man says Trump stepped in and got the Central Park ice rink renovation done "when others couldn't."  I don't know if that's true, or just a fluke, or if I should have been more picky about a best man.

hmmm...here's the definition of morbid obesity:

A serious health condition that results from an abnormally high body mass that is diagnosed by having a body mass index (BMI) greater than 40 kg/m², a BMI of greater than 35 kg/m² with at least one serious obesity-related condition, or being more than 100 pounds over ideal body weight (IBW).

He'd need to weigh about 320 to to have a BMI of 40 (assuming he is ~75 in tall). I'd bet the under on that. 

He'd need to weigh about 280 to have a BMI of 35...that may be getting close. 

Whatever the case, he's at least knocking on the door of morbid obesity. It's hilarious because he will interpret it as name-calling, but it's actually objectively true (well, close enough to being so), and she got to say it with feigned delicacy.

He has gotten a lot fatter the last couple of years. My guess he’s pushing 300.

You think he could hold a thought that long? No he paid the doc to make a few claims and asked him to say he was the bestest health President ever. Doc took some liberties, and pocketed he cash.

CNN just showed a montage of Trump praising hydroxychloroquine at about a dozen press conferences and now I'm 100% certain he's invested in the pharma company that makes it.  

He's even pretending to take it to sell more of it.

Real action would be to pump some remdesivir with some call options.

See, this is what I don’t get.

Hydroxychloroquine has been around ages and is generic.

Not oodles of cash in that.

Yes, making money and grifting is one of his primary motivators but his biggest is he can not STAND to be wrong.

He heard the drug mentioned on his television and because he has no idea on how to make this situation better, he latched on to it.

And now that more data has come out and it isn’t some magical miracle cure, he can’t admit it.

So the logical progression (for a narcissistic insane person) is to boast about taking it himself.

It doesn't matter if it's low profit margin if you think you can sell a couple hundred million units repeatedly.  Pharma companies are ripe for pump-and-dump stock manipulation, like anything else.

I'd also be willing to bet that his hedge fund managers shorted U.S. soybean futures about a week before he announced the tariffs on China that killed the U.S. soybean export market.

Insider trading happens all the time and he's immune from prosecution.  And he's him.  Why wouldn't he be doing these things?

I guarantee this, or stuff like it, is happening.

Tom Brady is 6' 4".

A-Rod is 6' 3".

Barack Obama is 6' 1".

 

If Donald Trump is 6' 3", I'll eat his lifts.  He's probably 6' 0", maybe 6' 1" if he does his lean.

 

[TexArcher 37,506]

And if he's 239 lbs, I'm Tom Brady.

[Guest Lobo]

He’s 6’1.5”.  Probably was 6’3” in his 20’s-50’s.  Nothing wrong with losing a bit of height when you get into your 70’s. 
he’d likely say he is 235-240.  Until you told him muscle weighs more than fat, at which point he would cop to his actual weight which is roughly 275

He asked for it, doc said ok, and is giving him flintstones chewables, not actually hydroxychloroquine.

That would violate some law I'm sure.  I'd make sure he got the real deal.  I'd even personally dose it for him.  I mean anything for the President of the United States.

There can be quite a bit of money in generics (meaning non-patented) if only one or two manufacturers are FDA approved.  Ask Martin Shkreli or that Indian guy whose name escapes.

Generic =/= no money, necessarily.

In the case of HCQ, there are at least a half dozen, so no, no money in that.

The rest of your theory is spot-on, though.
