you are the one person on earth worse with money than he is (he just really needs that Secret Service protection)

September 2020

“I am shocked by Trump’s $70,000 ‘business expense’ deduction for his hair on The Apprentice. Now it looks like two crimes have been committed here: one is Trump’s tax evasion, and two is whoever swindled Trump into paying $70,000 for what they did to his hair.” —Trevor Noah

“But what this Times story exposes isn’t just that Trump is bad at paying taxes. It’s that he’s even worse at business. The New York Times investigation laid bare Trump’s flailing business empire, in which his core operations – golf courses and name-brand hotels – reported millions or tens of millions in losses year after year. In 2018 alone, Trump businesses reported $47.4 Million in losses. And Trump personally owes a debt of $421 Million – one that could come due during his second term in office if he’s re-elected. Can I just say, if you decided to lend $420 Million to Donald Trump, that’s on you. I hope he doesn’t pay you back, because you are the one person on earth worse with money than he is.” —Trevor Noah

“In sum, reading the New York Times report, and learning the size and scope of Trump’s business debts, means everything makes so much sense now. This tax story is the Rosetta Stone that helps us figure everything out. Trump doesn’t want to be president – he just really needs that Secret Service protection. Shit, if I had $421 Million in loans coming due, I’d also be trying to cancel the election.” —Trevor Noah

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
