@LiberalLibrarian: If I read correctly, he got some large fee up front for licensing his name and likeness and gets between 20 to 50% after the sales, and then he gets a cut of whatever the dupes that bough them sell them for later.
I posted a story by Kurt Eichenwald within the past hour. He unraveled the web of companies and shell companies that comprise the whole thing, and it reads like you might expect.
@LiberalLibrarian: Likely not his mafia master but rather colleagues and business partners.
@LiberalLibrarian @thedisasterautist both the mafy0si and the Бр@тва
@thedisasterautist @LiberalLibrarian and he’s running again (although if he’s the legitimate president, he can’t), and people will vote for him, and they’ll say that election was also stolen..
@p_terg @LiberalLibrarian: Yes, he's said he's running in 2024, and yes, people will vote for him. Yes, if/when he loses, he and they will claim it was stolen. None of that is a surprise to anyone. Word is that the smart money is on that he's running to lose the election but to land a huge cash haul to coast on for a few years, which has been his MO for the last nearly forty years.
@thedisasterautist Gotta keep his mafiya masters happy.
