Donald Trump declined to say Tuesday if he's been in touch with Vladimir Putin since he left the White House but said it would have been smart if he had.

    Like your business fraud and tax evasion are “just smart business”, Diaper Donnie?

      successfully conning people might mean the victims are stupid, but it in no way whatsoever means that the con man is smart

        If ever there was proof of that, Trump is certainly it. He’s an absolute moron yet somehow still a highly successful conman, at least going by the metric of morons that believe him if not by actual money conned out of people (although he seems to have been depressingly successful at that as well). If there’s a silver lining in all this it’s that Trump is so stupid and incredibly bad at business that he seems to burn through money as fast as he cons it out of people.

          pretty sure his lifelong motto is “why spend your own money when you can get some rube to spend theirs”

          it is mind-boggling, how many decades he’s gone notoriously skipping out on his bills and people still deal with him

    That didn’t happen.
    And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
    And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
    And if it is, that’s not my fault.
    And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
    And if I did, you deserved it.

      after this bloomberg disaster, i wouldn’t be surprised if he flakes out of every upcoming interview that isn’t with one of his own fluffers

        I posted this just after the debate last month:

        Calling it now:

        Since there’s not enough time left for him to recover from this brutal ego bruise, I predict he’ll only do rallies from now on, or appearances on far-right media, because he’ll retreat to his snowglobe for reassurance for a while. He’ll avoid addressing Kamala directly, but he’ll ramp up his own network and rile up his mob. His team will struggle to rein him in, and some appearances might be cancelled.

        I’m not a prophet – he’s just that predictable.

    That didn’t happen.

    And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

    And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

    And if it is, that’s not my fault.

    And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

    And if I did…

    You deserved it.

    So he put himself in the position of “I’m not smart” or “I talked to Putin”? Imagine putting yourself in checkmate like that

    Trump’s lawyer: Hypothetical excuses are bad. They can ruin the credibility of your defense. M’kay?

    Trump: (to the media) If I did do it, it would have made it a smart concept, and therefore it would make me a genius.
