TRUMP - THE SNEAKY SNEAKER KING

Former President Trump has been ordered to pay $355 million in fines in a civil fraud trial in New York -  Judge Arthur Engoron found that Trump had approved the overvaluation of his New York properties and exaggerated his net worth in order to secure loans and business deals.

The valuation of Trump's well-known properties cited in the ruling by Engoron included the Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, the triplex apartment at Trump Tower and 40 Wall Street -in New York City.

Trump, the former 45th President of the United States, could face the reality that many of his properties would be sold by the government at "fire sale prices" if he refuses to pay the fine issued to him at the civil fraud trial in New York. The hard-hitting ruling also fined Trump associates- including his dullard sons Donald Jr. and Eric, banning the former president "from serving as an officer or director of a New York company for three years".

"Can he stiff them? No," explained John Dean, counsel under Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal. "What's going to happen is the attorney general will come in, they'll seize the properties and they will liquidate them at fire sale prices... that will take more buildings than he could probably negotiate."

Trump's wild response was to have a Wild Sneaker Sale.

Former President Trump stopped by at "Sneaker Con" at the Philadelphia Convention Center to promote his new $399 Trump-branded sneakers at “Sneaker Con” - the footwear gathering marketed as the “The Greatest Sneaker Show on Earth.”

Trump was greeted with loud boos and cheers at the Philadelphia Convention Center when he introduced "the first official Trump footwear". 

The leading Republican presidential candidate, our 47th president of the United Stated - if reelected - needs to be seen wearing shiney gold high top shoes -  being sold as "Never Surrender High-Tops" - the complete marketing trifecta of Sports, Politics & Fashion. 

DECLINING GRANDPA & THE UNHINGED CRIMINAL

Donald Trump’s criminal trial will begin in March  — the first of four criminal cases and the first-ever criminal trial of a former US President.  Justice Juan Manuel Merchan on the Manhattan Supreme Court ignored the objections of Trump's overzealous lawyers who argued the trial would interfere with Trump's bid to regain the White House - as the "hush money" trial will start in the middle of the Republican primary season.

THIS IS THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.... 

Justice Merchan presiding at the Manhattan Supreme Court hearing for the falsification of Trump's business records case — (again - the first-ever criminal trial of a former US President) — ruled the trial will begin March 25.  The estimated six-week trial will coexist alongside the primary President election season in 2024. THIS FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.... TRUMP, age 77 - IS ON TRIAL.  Hopefully the trial will interfere with the former president's bid to regain the White House and the Republican sheep will stop grazing in the Field of Denial.

Meanwhile, the visibly aging and noticably physically declining President Joe Biden, AGE 81 - THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES - is aligned with his son, Hunter Biden who is facing criminal probes for foreign money-laundering schemes that has earned Hunter millions of dollars.  Between 2013 to 2018 Hunter Biden and his firm earned about $11 million via legal work, as board member for a Ukraine firm.  Hunter then blamed the last name of Biden for the charges against his unduly actions. Ironically, the name Biden gave him access to foreign investors for the millions of dollars earnings. 

Then Donald Trump went unhinged with his comments about not defending NATO allies from Russia if they don’t put their budgets toward military spending - thus Trump encouraged Russian military ziegest.  Trump stated that if an ally didn’t spend enough money on defense, he would encourage Russia to ‘do whatever the hell they want.’   It is unnerving and absolutely unhinged that an American president would consider telling Russian leadership to do whatever the hell they want.

Meanwhile, the 81-year-old President Biden, will not step aside to allow another Democratic candidate to face Trump rather than have the country endure a presidential election rematch with two older men - Biden attacked Trump for his  remarks after the Senate passed a $95.3 billion dollar foreign aid bill that included $60 billion aid for NON-NATO ally Ukraine. It is clear that the Non-Nato countries are costing Americans alot of money and Biden is aware that he is trailing in the polls against Trump.

Declining Grandpa Biden versus The Unhinged Criminal Trump - this is America's choice for the next President of the United States - amid global warfare in Ukraine, in the MidEast, and soaring gun violence in our country including Super Bowl celebrations - these two older men who would be facing retirement in any other field - prefer the selfish journey of self profiteering and self indulgence beyond mortal limits.
