  • This is all a front so Trump can claim he is hard on China. In reality, China bought a ton of his crypto with an agreement to implement tariffs. Trump only cares about lining his pocket and demonstrating power. This achieves both.

  • This is what I have learned from all of this. Trump has exposed the one lever where there is no checks or balances. He found a sharp machete when he went looking for pruning shears.

  • In some cases, they’ll never vote for him, or anyone associated with him, ever again.

    I was an independent for a long time. Mostly voted D but did my due diligence on local races to see if the R had something of value. After the blind acceptance of R to switch to MAGA I"ll never vote R again. Ever.

  • No way Rico case happens before election, the DA couldn't keep her pants on. It will be years before Rico trail starts and by then all Trump needs is governor or DA lacky to drop everything. The Jan 6 case is the only one that could happen before election.

  • Yes he does. He has to either pay the judgement to her, or put it in escrow if he plans to appeal

    No he doesn't. I hate trump as much as anyone else, but all he has to do is get someone else to post bond (he will still have to provide a percentage to cover). There is a long list of people/companies/countries that would take that gamble assuming he gets reelected.

  • I never understood why Republicans hate immigrants. Low educated labor that is highly religious. And if crimes are committed, these people can fuel the incarceration complex America has as well.

  • For single family homes, I disagree. Property management is around 10% and you're not going to build wealth quickly by giving that much off the top if you only operate a couple rentals.

  • On 25 years, you pay a fifth of the building price for it. And that is not accounting for the equity that the house gains over the years like we've seen during covid.

    So does every other home owner. That benefit is not for just landlords.

    I don't understand the hatred for the risk return of being a landlord. Let's assume you can double your money in the stock market every 7 years.

    Compare real estate and stock ownership for 20k (100k house). In the market, 20k becomes 40k in 7 and 80k in 14, 160k in 21, and so on. That's 215 total over 25 years. As long as appreciation is close to 3% it's almost a wash after 25 years. The difference is as a landlord you have the risk of capital expenses requiring you to hold cash and the value of your time to run a rental.
