[galerymod]

A myth (more rarely mythus, obsolete mythe, plural myths, from ancient Greek μῦθος, "sound, word, speech, tale, legendary story, tale", Latin mythus) is in its original meaning a narrative. In religious myths, the existence of humans is linked to the world of gods or spirits.

Myths claim validity for the truth they assert. This claim to truth has been criticised since the Greek Enlightenment by the pre-Socratics (e.g. Xenophanes, around 500 BC). For the Sophists, myth stands in contrast to logos, which attempts to justify the truth of its assertions through rational evidence.

In a broader sense, myth also refers to people, things or events of high symbolic significance or simply a false idea or lie*.

For example, the adjective "mythical" is often used in colloquial language as a synonym for "fabulous-vague, fabulous or legendary".

How can it be that a man who describes himself in public as a successful businessman worth billions cannot pay a financial penalty and that someone wants to vouch for him?

Trump can't pay 450 million dollars

In February, former US President Trump was fined 450 million dollars in New York for fraud. Now his lawyers have announced: Trump cannot pay. According to his lawyers, former US President Donald Trump is currently unable to guarantee payment of a fine of more than 450 million dollars from a fraud trial. Despite great efforts and negotiations with around 30 companies, it has not yet been possible to obtain such a guarantee, according to a letter from his legal team to the competent court in New York. Several US media outlets unanimously quote from the letter, arguing that it would be "practically impossible" to make the payment on time.

Trump has received a refusal from 30 bail companies, according to a letter from his lawyers to an appeals court on Monday. Many would not provide collateral in excess of 100 million dollars and would not accept real estate as collateral.

Forbes magazine estimates the property entrepreneur's total assets at 2.6 billion dollars. Trump recently stated that his cash assets totalled around 400 million dollars.

"I thought he was a billionaire? Is he lying to the public or the court?" Law professor Andrew Weissmann poses the question of questions on X in relation to Donald Trump's liquidity: How much is there to the image of the self-made billionaire?

How much money does Trump himself have?

Last year, Trump testified in court that he had a cash fortune of around 400 million US dollars. The latest legal documents indicate that he does not have anywhere near that amount of money at his disposal, Professor of Business Law Will Thomas from the University of Michigan. However, he and the Trump Organisation would have significantly more assets at their disposal. His largest asset holdings are tied up in property. If Trump is unable to pay in other ways, he could be forced to sell some of his properties, according to Professor Thomas. His lawyers want to prevent this and warn that Trump would have no way of buying them back if he is successful with his appeal.

Where could the money come from?

Without liquid funds, there are two options for Trump to prevent enforcement for the time being.

Guarantees: A guarantee would probably be the only solution for him. This would allow him not to have to sell anything for the time being. At the same time, guarantors require collateral and often only accept cash or shares in return - not property. Trump also needs to find someone who is prepared to guarantee an enormous sum of over 550 million dollars.

Donations or campaign funds: He is also receiving support from private sources, but the sums are nowhere near enough. Trump supporters are collecting money for him on the internet, with over a million private donations having been collected so far.

Again and again, it is also about money from Trump's election campaign. Federal law prohibits Trump from using campaign funds for personal purposes. However, it is legally unclear to what extent campaign money from political action committees (PACs) and funds from the Republican National Committee (RNC) fall under this. But even these funds would be far from sufficient.

If he loses the aura of the successful billionaire self-made businessman, he also loses his aura of success.

mod

This kind of legal action would not only be a serious blow to Trump's finances, but also to his image, as he always praises himself as a brilliant businessman.

The biggest bankruptcies* of Donald Trump

It was always visible to everyone, but as long as you can keep generating capital, the myth can be maintained

Trump Ice

In 1995, Donald Trump founded the Trump Ice Natural Spring Water brand (Trump Ice for short) - his own brand of bottled drinking water. However, the sales figures were not particularly good. After missed payments to the producer and a lawsuit against Trump Ice in this connection, production was discontinued. Today, only bottles with collector's value are sold on eBay and the like.

Trump Steaks

Donald Trump founded his own steak company in 2007. The company was to be dedicated exclusively to selling his favourite food and running a steakhouse in Las Vegas. The prices for the steaks varied between 199 and 999 US dollars. Despite such bargain prices, the company had to close in the same year. The steakhouse was shut down after the health department found 51 health code violations.

Trump University

In 2005, Donald Trump opened "Trump University" - a distance learning university specialising in the real estate industry that was not officially recognised as a university. Enrolment cost up to 35,000 US dollars, but many of the course instructors, who were allegedly selected by Donald Trump himself, often did not have the appropriate qualifications. The school had to be closed down for good in 2011. Thousands of students filed a lawsuit against the former US president, who relented in 2017 and offered a settlement despite his supposed innocence. This was confirmed by the US Court of Appeal in 2018 and secured compensation of USD 25 million for the more than 4,000 ex-students.

New Jersey Generals

In 1984, Donald Trump bought his own football team, the New Jersey Generals. However, they did not play in the famous National Football League, the NFL, but in the smaller offshoot, the United States Football League (USFL). Just one year later, the team was bankrupt and the entire United States Football League with it. Trump had tried with all his might to bring about a merger of the UFSL with the NFL. This prevented Donald Trump from taking over a team in the NFL.

Trump Vodka

According to Donald Trump himself, he does not drink alcohol. However, this did not stop him from launching his own premium vodka on the market in 2005. However, production was discontinued in 2011.

Trump Magazine

Donald Trump made several attempts to land a hit in the luxury magazine segment. After two failed attempts, he launched the quarterly "Trump Magazine" in 2007, which covered topics such as yachts and other toys for the rich. However, the magazine was cancelled in 2009.

Gotrump

In 2006, Donald Trump ventured into a search engine for luxury travel. It included private jets, tickets for exclusive events and supposedly personal recommendations and travel tips from Donald Trump. However, it was shut down again after just one year due to poor reviews.

Trump: The Game

Trump tried twice to establish himself on the board game market with the board game "Trump: The Game", but failed twice. The game is, of course, about money. The game first came onto the market in 1989, but was discontinued shortly after its release. In 2005, he tried a new edition in collaboration with Parker Brothers, but this version also failed.

Trump Shuttle

In 1989, Trump bought his own airline, "Trump Shuttle". The airline was to fly business people back and forth between New York, Boston and Washington. The interior of the Boeing 727 was elegantly furnished with maple panelling and chrome seat belt buckles, and gold fittings were installed in the toilets. However, the luxury was too expensive for the passengers. Three years later, the over-indebted company was sold to US Airways.

Trump Entertainment Resorts

With the company "Trump Entertainment Resorts", Donald Trump operated several casinos in the gambling metropolis of Atlantic City, including: Trump Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza and Trump Marina. All were closed between 1999 and 2016, and the company filed for bankruptcy three times between 2004 and 2014. In 2014, debts are said to have totalled around 1.8 billion US dollars. Trump himself withdrew completely from the company in 2016 and sold his shares to billionaire Carl Icahn.

Trump Mortgage

In April 2006, Donald Trump announced the founding of his own mortgage bank, Trump Mortgage, at a press conference. He predicted a rosy future for his endeavour and that the bank would soon become the largest lender for home loans in the USA. However, as with "Trump Magazine", the timing was not exactly fortunate. Just one year later, the former US president's mortgage bank had to file for insolvency.

Libs are like, "YOU CAN'T LET TRUMP WIN JUST BECAUSE BIDEN IS COMMITTING A GENOCIDE! THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR SINGLE-ISSUE VOTERS", when the fact is that people are already really fucking angry at him for funding two wars during a severe cost of living crisis. Biden's pet dog has already gotten Israel and the US embroiled in a steadily escalating conflict with Houthis and Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon, and now Netanyahu is trying to ethnically cleanse two million Gazans by pushing them out of the country into Egypt, one of the countries the US gives billions of aid money to make nice with Israel and help them trap the Palestinians. Egypt is already mad about this (although Idk what they expected lol) and if Israel creates a border conflict with them, Iran might press their advantage and then the whole region descend into an all-out war in which the US is embroiled. At which point oil prices will jump, the US economy get even worse, more tax money funnelled into TWO wars, one of which is due to the genocide.

People might not care about Muslims living thousands of miles away, but they have some very strong opinions about putting food on the table. At this point there's a pretty significant shift in the Black community towards Trump because Biden has INCREASED funding for police, is supporting Cop City that someone DIED protesting, and hasn't made a dent in mass incarceration (the marijuana pardon was fucking hilarious in a depraved way). The right has also been weaponizing Black people's resentment against Latino "illegal aliens" and Biden's "concessions" towards them, when actually his immigration policies have barely been less draconian than Trump's all this time. The reason he's making those concessions is that he has to look more progressive than him, except he's also been slowly escalating ICE crackdowns, keeping kids in cages and building a border wall. So the Latin voters are entirely fed up with him too.

So far, he's lost the Muslim vote, the Latin vote, the Black vote, the youth vote (people of ages 18 to 35 are the most outraged at the genocide in Gaza), and they're hemorrhaging the working class votes. These are the extremely angry and betrayed people the liberals are currently working overtime screaming at about Trump "bringing the death of democracy", like democracy means anything to them compared to losing jobs, money, visas, family members, health (Biden's first and ongoing genocide is disabled people due to his COVID policies), social infrastructure and money.

Y'all said Blue Not Matter Who and elected a career racist and known incompetent who supported segregation, was an architect of mass incarceration, got Clarence Thomas elected to the Supreme Court and spewed rhetoric against Arabs so genocidal that motherfucking Menachem Begin was like "....bro." And you got exactly what you paid for. If Trump gets on the ticket next year he's going to win, and no amount of screaming at people online is going to change that. So I suggest you start organising now. The age of trying to create a revolution at the ballot box is over.

Trumpnyra after surviving one horribly executed assassination attempt 🇺🇸🦅

[justinspoliticalcorner]

David Badash at NCRM:

Despite public opinion polls that find the majority of Americans support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, the incoming Trump administration is forging ahead with President-elect Donald Trump’s vow to begin his mass deportations of millions of people “on day one.” That will now include the green lighting of arrests of undocumented immigrants who happen to be sick in the hospital, worshipping or marrying in a church, synagogue, or mosque, or studying — or even teaching — in a school classroom, according to an NBC News exclusive report. Since 2011, under the Obama administration, ICE, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, has been banned from, as NBC reported, “arresting undocumented people at or near so-called sensitive locations, including houses of worship, schools and hospitals or events such as funerals, weddings and public demonstrations without approval from supervisors.” That ban has been described as a “fundamental” principle by the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas. “Adherence to this principle is one bedrock of our stature as public servants,” he noted. As Trump positions himself to achieve his promised goal of enacting the “largest deportation operation in American history,” that ban will be rescinded to remove as many barriers as possible that stand in his way.

The Biden administration had expanded the ICE policy to include “colleges or mental health institutions, and even places where religious studies were happening,” according to NBC News’ Julia Ainsley in her on-air report Wednesday. She noted that the ban will also be lifted on arrests at events, including rallies. “So that means if you have a protest against mass deportations where you would expect undocumented immigrants to show up, that could be a place that ICE could target for arrest,” Ainsley explained.

Immigration experts oppose allowing arrests at sensitive places, believing that access to them, including by undocumented immigrants, benefits society as a whole. “Immigration enforcement has always required a balance. In the past, Presidents of both parties have recognized that merely because it may be lawful to make arrests at hospitals and schools doesn’t mean it’s humane or wise public policy,” Lee Gelernt, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), told NBC News. “We don’t want people with contagious diseases too scared to go to the hospital or children going uneducated because of poorly considered deportation policies.” “There are churches that have historically served as sanctuaries, knowing that ICE can’t come in and arrest them there, and they do that in communities to offer a safe space for migrants,” Ainsley reported, noting that now, faith leaders and others are “worried not only because of policies like these, but because what they see as a change, a shift to the right, in the American public where people are more in favor of deportations than they were previously, and they’re worried about threats to them or to backlash if they continue to give migrant sanctuary within their spaces.”

[...] Mayorkas offered some examples of sensitive areas where arrests should not be made. Presumably, under the Trump administration, arrests will be allowed in some or all of these locations. They include: “A school, such as a pre-school, primary or secondary school, vocational or trade school, or college or university.” “A medical or mental healthcare facility, such as a hospital, doctor’s office, health clinic, vaccination or testing site, urgent care center, site that serves pregnant individuals, or community health center.” “A place of worship or religious study, whether in a structure dedicated to activities of faith (such as a church or religious school) or a temporary facility or location where such activities are taking place.” “A place where children gather, such as a playground, recreation center, childcare center, before- or after-school care center, foster care facility, group home for children, or school bus stop.” “A social services establishment, such as a crisis center, domestic violence shelter, victims services center, child advocacy center, supervised visitation center, family justice center, community-based organization, facility that serves disabled persons, homeless shelter, drug or alcohol counseling and treatment facility, or food bank or pantry or other establishment distributing food or other essentials of life to people in need.” “A place where disaster or emergency response and relief is being provided, such as along evacuation routes, where shelter or emergency supplies, food, or water are being distributed, or registration for disaster-related assistance or family reunification is underway.” “A place where a funeral, graveside ceremony, rosary, wedding, or other religious or civil ceremonies or observances occur.”

Add this to the reasons that ICE should be abolished: The Trump Administration, as part of its war on immigrants both legal and illegal, plans to rescind the ban on ICE arrests at schools, places of worship, hospitals, and even events such as weddings and funerals.

Could you do someone political next? Like Barron Trump since his dad won the election again. He seems mysterious. Thank you 🙏

Sure, to my knowledge Barron Trump birth time is not confirmed.

At one point Trump was quoted on a call at around 6:30 AM saying the baby was born "20 minutues earlier". On a different occasion he was quoted saying "baby was born at 5:30 AM".

5:30 gives him an Aqua Ascendant in Vedic, 6:00 AM gives his a Pisces Ascendant. However, in tropical he remains a Pisces Asc through both times. Soo I decided to use tropical for his analysis - which often isn't as accurate or specific as vedic in predicting events. Rather it works better for personality so please keep that in mind.

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Barron Trump - Chart Analysis

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: Take it as entertainment because without exact birth time even the tropical chart can be off. AND If he was born after 6:05 that makes him an aries Rising - & this chart becomes very inaccurate.

Family/Childhood:

Gemimi IC conjunct Mars & Mars in 4th H - This can indicate his home life experiences more conflict than most families. There can be a lot of fighting and possibly aggression with his family life.

🦋 He can feel the need to prove himself to his family. There can be pressure to pick a side in arguments within the family/home (not politically but in family disagreements)

🦋 Mars in 4th generally won't express anger or aggression unless they feel comfortable with the other person and/or when they are at home. His mom can b like this too - the type of mom to wait until you guys get home to reprimand you.

🦋 The mother is VERY protective of him. She will get angry and fight on his behalf. He would be very protective of her too. However, there can be repressed/hidden anger about his childhood and/or his family members.

🦋 Gemini Mars gives a restlessness to his upbringing. He could have had a busy home, people constantly coming and going and/or he was constantly on the move.

🦋 4th H ruler (Mercury) in First House. This shows 4th house matters (family, home, private matters) strongly influence his First house (identity, life's direction).

🦋 Positive is this gives a strong inner fire. It shows someone who can speak up for what they believe and be highly independent. However, his 4th H ruler (Mercury) is in retrograde. This shows he's more reflective and reserved. He doesn't like to speak up because he feels he is often misunderstood when he does.

🦋 Mercury conjunct Uranus shows a unique way of communicating and thinking. He has an independent + rebellious mind - he may think differently from both his family and society. Many can't follow his train of thought as a lot of thinking is likely based on intuition/feelings. Others may feel he is not rational/practical. This shows an abnormal relationship with siblings too - relationship with his siblings could have ups and downs throughout his life. EXAMPLE: abnormal since they are much older than him soo ups & downs as to when he sees them/are close and when they are distant/living with their own families.

Sometimes this manifests as a speech or educational disorders - or simply trouble in communicating and education. However, this is very vague and Vedic is more specific in predicting these topics. I'm not sure but if he's bilingual - he could struggle more in his second language.

🦋 Sun in First House shows a dominating father. The father is in an authority. In First H, his father influences a large part of his persoanality. His Sun is a leo degree, his father is a Leo sun. In his chart, Leo rules his 6th H of obstacles/disputues & ruler Sun going in First H shows Sun (father and other authority figures) bring obstacles into his life. He may dislike and secretly hold a bit of resentment for how other's perceive him due to the authority figures in his life.

🦋 In his case, his Moon in Sag manifests very literally. Sag shows travel, higher education, religion, different cultures/what's foreign, etc. His mom is a foreigner and shows him a different culture from what is around them. Moon in 10th can sometimes indicate the mother takes on the masculine/father role as well. She can be more controlling/dominating and the main authority in his life. Moon in 10th shows personal matters becoming public too.

Personality:

First H ruler (Jupiter) in 9th H and Sag Moon shows he values education - formal or informal. He likes new experiences and broader topics. He could have interest in foreign topics - travelling to foreign places and/or learning about them.

Pisces Asc with ruler traditional ruler Jupiter in Scorpio and modern ruler in 12th H emphasizes his private nature. He may be untrusting of others. He could feel people make assumptions about him rather than getting to know him - this is Scorpio and Pisces's influence.

Saturn Retrograde in 6th H shows he feels burdened with too much responsibility too soon. This can be much later in his life too - but when something goes wrong, it feels like everything is going wrong at once.

Romantic Relationship:

Venus conjunct Chiron heartbreak is inevitable. Venus conjunct Neptune he won't see these partners for who they truly are. 7th H ruler conjunct Uranus shows he may experience on and off connections. There can a lot of instability in his relationships.

7th H may be Virgo but ruler is retrograde conjunct Uranus. This indicates the spouse doesn't have the typical virgo influence. She isn't a traditional, controlling & grounded personality, she likes socializing/connecting with different types of people, she enjoys letting loose and having fun. She is likely very spontaneous. An issue could be she doesn’t respect boundaries - intentionally or unintentionally. Her personality is like an electric shock. His spouse can present normally to the public so outsiders won't know but in private people will be SHOCKED at his choice. Specifically, his mother may not like her. His choice in women can be rebellious.

7th H Lilith + 12th H Venus shows secret relationships too. Cheating could occur in relationships - this doesn’t have to be the marriage, it could be heartbreak he experiences when dating.

Lilith in 7th house, Venus in Aqua, 7th H ruler retrograde conjunct Uranus STRONGLY emphasizes he chooses partners who are controversial. The spouse and/or married life doesn't conform to traditions. This can manifest in many ways: Spouse is from a different culture, Spouse has an out-of-box way of thinking and behaving (yet similar to his unique way of thinking). It’s like he doesn’t feel comfortable expressing his wild and possibly critical and unconventional side so he sub consciously chooses a partner who will do it for him.

This can even indicate the marriage is abnormal - ex: open relationships, sudden wedding - marrying "too soon", no marriage at all, courthouse marriage/no wedding.

[weaselle]

how did this happen. this is bad.

this is now i have to buy a gun and be prepared for a literal civil war bad.

One of the most insidious lies of both major political parties is that there's any difference between the two parties.

Hopes for a just immigration policy from Democrats - from Clinton to Obama, to Biden, and now Harris - have all been unfounded. Construction of a border wall was started under Bill Clinton. Obama deported more people than any other previous president in history then passed the Dream Act at the end of his term by executive order. Pretending he had no choice, Biden continues construction of "Trump's" border wall. If elected, Harris will continue to build that border wall - wasting those billions of dollars, stealing more citizens' property, and causing environmental destruction.

We are ruled with a duopoly and they win our support with mutual lies and theatrics.
