Donald Trump is broke hahahaha
Did you hear the news? Donald Trump is broke as s—t! Sure, you already knew that the former president’s empire was built on bankrupt casinos, skyscrapers that are cratering in value, fake universities, fake shoes, unpaid vendors, dodged taxes, undrinkable wines and inedible steaks.

Acouple of weeks out from a midterm election in which Republicans dramatically underperformed, one major theme has emerged in the post-mortems: Donald Trump is to blame. Turns out that voters do not like efforts to overthrow democracy, like Trump's attempted coup or the January 6 insurrection.
