Congrats, on your 400th episode: Amazing! As for Guiliani? He has always been a shady character. Just look at his relationship with Bernie Kerik; the guy was his Police Chief and went to jail for tax evasion and taking gifts from mobsters in NJ (redid his kitchen for free—-$80k).
That said, on an unrelated topic: I just looked up Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG). The stock was down to $12 last week and is now back to $24.
If you notice, the stock trades not on earnings or any realistic projections; it value is derived from whether or not the market believes Trump can win in November.
That said, if Trump wins, the stock will rise above $100, perhaps even $200.00. Who knows, there is no revenue or earnings for TMTG, just major operational losses. Trump could easily cash out his position for $12-20 billion.
This is how you know the stock is nothing more than legalized bribery. Trump won’t cash out before the election, he will do it after he wins, and say it’s because of the Emoluments Clause in the Constitution. Why would he cash out, you ask? Because a president or VP elect doesn’t have to pay taxes on any income earned in the year they won the election, or his/her investment income.
Essentially, foreign companies, billionaires and hedge funds that represent certain interests, could push the price sky high before Trump cash’s out, knowing full well they will take a big loss. Ironically, these corporations and individuals get to BUY a president on the cheap, and then write off the BRIBE against their other income. This entire stock is a scam and could lead to very bad foreign and domestic policy changes by Trump. Not to mention, an incredible investment by shady businessmen and foreign governments. Let that sink in!
Well that was entertaining, even for a lifelong Democrat. I hardly shared favorable opinions of many of the GOP candidates and leaders you carried to victory but liked a two party system. My long time husband, gone now, was a Republican in youth, then veered a bit left and went back right, would vote Republican and I would cancel him out. It seemed to work. But I had to agree that disarmament was a good policy. Thanks for this and all the great ads from TLP. Guess I need to check out Daisy. Let’s see the 😎 cats and even more 😎 fiancé and grandchild! Thanks Rick and Ben
Rick, Your substack on the plan to steal the election is a brilliant explication of the scenario I've been troubling over for weeks. It should be required reding for all!
Absolutely enjoy All of the work that the Lincoln Project has produced, Rick, you guys are all "Rock Stars" and will reStack ASAP There's got to be a good reason why the major Networks don't carry these commercials?! 🇺🇸💙
Does Rick even read these comments? When are you going to get those Trumpers riled up, losing social security, disability, and union jobs with Project 2025?

You may be right. But power is not uniformly attractive. It has to be carefully packaged (ordinarily) so as not to be frightening, but Trump doesn’t care about that. And he is so incredibly negative about everything. I guess the Kool Aid just looked good.
A joy!

I have to think these Trump acolytes have a character flaw or they would not be fascinated by him.
Compromised or absent values as well.

American love of celebrities plus human love for power.
I guess they did a good job of marketing him on The Apprentice.

Trump didn’t ruin people in his orbit. They ruined themselves.
Can you truly be a great person if you are not a good person? Powerful yes, great?
