     Trump's spiritual advisor sexually assaulted an underage girl.

     TRUMP: And I’d now like to ask Pastor Morris and Bishop Jackson to lead us in prayer. Thank you.

     PASTOR MORRIS: Thank you.

     Lord, we need you. We need you at this time in our country. And I thank you for our President. I thank you, Lord, for our leaders....

     Trump: "Yeah that's her with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it.

     You can do anything."

     Bush: "Whatever you want."

     Trump: "Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."

     In 2020, it was sold by disgraced nursing home mogul Phillip Esformes, who was convicted a year earlier in what was called the “largest healthcare fraud scheme ever charged by the [U.S.] Justice Department.” He was ordered to serve 20 years in a federal prison, but that sentence was commuted by President Donald Trump shortly before he left office.

     See the problem when Trump pleads not guilty is that you don't know if he's saying he didn't do it, or he just doesn't care that he did.

     "The former president offered a holiday message reminiscent of his infamous Nov. 27, 2013, tweet wishing a "Happy Thanksgiving to all -- even the haters and losers!" "

     Completely disgusting comment from a former President of the United States and possible next one.

     United States is headed the way of UK (Brexit), India, Israel, Brazil (which swung back to reason), and recently Argentina and Netherlands. It never helps the economy and they just swing back to reason after ruining economies.

     I haven't been following the bank loan trial, but if course he had minimum net worth limits to maintain in order that he not be offside the loans that is what he and his family will be questioned about.

     Makes a lot of sense. Not just applying for loans but keeping them.

     "And Deutsche Bank has certain numbers that Donald Trump needed to continue to maintain as his net worth, in order to keep those loans"

     To do taxes, sure. But they rarely inflate loan amounts because they won't have been paid enough to do so.
