Ford suspended the guy and he’s like fuck you I’d do it again.

Ha ha ha ha. Ford suspended him for calling the syphilitic orange menace a pedo protector and he's got money coming in.

His gofundme account hit hear 800,000 tonight.
All this in around 24 hours.

Donations for suspended Ford worker who heckled Trump near $800,000

A cap would eliminate a huge amount of credit overnight. Any questionable credit worthiness and no, not for you. Those rewards cards? Gone. This is a credit based economy. Online retailing etc... is huge. it would be gone. It would collapse everything pretty much overnight. The interest rates allows them to lend to more questionable people.

No they're for real. Credit for lower and middle income people without amazing credit scores will be reduced or not obtainable.

This ^. Credit availability to consumers with lower scores would really dry up. If banks can't keep stealing all that interest from those customers, poof. Gone.

Between this initiative and the talk about invading Greenland, it's almost like he's trying to completely crash the economy.

So what I’m hearing from you is that this is something Trump would do then.

The appropriate response from the banks would be to ignore his royal decree. The de facto response to everything of questionable legality to clearly illegal requests should be "make me".

They're just going to continue to bleed state capacity. A DOJ of just Drew Ensign cant be everywhere at once, and an ICE thug isn't going to get Citibank to do shit.

Folks you are expecting too much of Donald Duck to understand Economy 101. He can barely remember to paint himself orange in the morning.

Machado would be allowed to give him the physical medal if she wanted, but it wouldn’t make him a Nobel laureate. In the minds of normal people and the rest of the world, of course It wouldn’t. She might give him the physical award, and in the delusional bubble known as Trumpworld, that makes it his. And that’s all that counts. The thing he wants most is to have it to display. Hell, he’ll probably start wearing it everywhere.
Apparently she presented it to him and now he has decided to keep it:


”Machado left the medal at the White House, and it is currently in the president’s possession, according to a source familiar with the matter.”

The Nobel Committee has spoken on the matter ....

It would be right up Trump's alley to wear a prize he did not deserve... Basically, stolen valor.

Of course. He added his name to the kennedy center.
Right... how could I forget that.

Dude needs constant validation because in his feeble insecure little mind the only thing that soothes his fragile ego, even if temporarily, is to acquire physical symbols of accomplishment because if you can't see or touch it, it must not be real or lasting. We all know he can't demonstrate his "accomplishments", so he has to settle for materialistic things that are associated with those who are accomplished. Meanwhile, we all know what his real legacy will be...
