Hope I didn’t ruin your joke too much by taking your 1st point too seriously, Baggers. It set up point 2 nicely! And yes, Trump has helped Bush rehabilitate his image.

Wonder if Bush looks at Trump and sees a far more charismatic but far less cunning version of Dick Cheney ...

Thank you, Wing Man Mav... I just got on line and realized perhaps I should have used a tongue-in-cheek emoji with my post! Glad you saw the China reference as only a set-up for my attempted gag!! (your China explanation is spot on).

I think you and I are parked on exactly the same page when it comes to the Orange One.  :)  :)

Trump is getting a huge amount of publicity - maybe that's what he's really interested in rather than the presidency?
Bit of talk Trump might start his own media business ie Trump TV, as you say he likes the limelight and publicity, he will also want a forum to critique the new government and sell himself as the all American hero.

Aurangzeb, as a businessman, relied heavily on publicity to compensate for lack of acumen.  His business began going down the gurgler when he lost his reality TV celebrity status and his decision to run for president was apparently motivated by his need for greater publicity.

Getting back into media would seem to be a necessary next step for his business.  Making it a success is another matter  ::)

I am wondering how he is going to turn all of his upcoming court appearances into a reality TV Program.

Instead of 'The Apprentice' - how about 'The Defendant'. 

Or 'The Orange Man has to wear orange'
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

At least we have an honest, straight up President now.







Boy oh boy, talk about sucking people in... watch the first one again before the cut-away - no lip-synch. Take it from someone who worked for many years in audio/sweetening, this is a dub in/'fake'. A bullshizen clip, you can see for a second or two how his words don't synch with his mouth. Terrible job of editing, amateur stuff.

The 2nd one is where he admits and takes responsibility for a poor decision - plagiarizing, which resulted in a penalty taking him to 76th in the class.

Where do you find this obtuse stuff, FB?

Trump could never run a media business. For God’s sake, he ran a casino into the ground. Who does that? He disproved the old saying that the house never loses.

His real estate business isn’t really a real estate business. The last time it built anything was years ago. The core of his business is licensing the Trump name to builders who for some incomprehensible reason think the name will help them sell apartments.

If you had to pick one industry in which you’d need to be agile and strategic, the media industry would be it. There has been so much disruption that you can’t just buy a business and go off golfing while it churns out money. As we’ve seen, Trump isn’t the type to hire top minds and get out of their way while they work their magic.

The only thing he has to offer the media is his “on air talent”. But can you really see him as a talk-back host? He talks at people; he doesn’t talk with them.

Can’t someone reach down into that rabbit hole and drag Flyboy out of it? He’s gone full MAGA on us.

That's the thing with Aurangzeb, you don't have to fake anything.  Everytime he opens his mouth, bile, vitriol, unsubstantiated generalisations, veiled threats, incitement, pandering to extremists, lunatic suggestions (eg inject bleach), dissembling, obfuscations, lies, falsehoods, exaggerations and/or inadvertent admissions of wrongdoing spew forth.

After watching the cringeworthy Jonathan Swann interview/flensing, I reckon TonyO's suggestion of a reality TV show with Aurangzeb in the witness box has merit ... but could you bear to watch it for more than a few minutes?

Did George Constanza learn this from Trump or the other way around?

I think if Trump has his own media TV Channel it would be more along the lines of how Kerry Packer ran the nine network with him vetting programming and employing his mates etc rather than fronting any programs. Ivanka needs a job so maybe she can front a show or two....
Trumps father made all the money, apart from the celeb apprentice all Trump juniors business ventures have been failures...his ego wont allow him to fade to black so I expect to see him potting Biden, Kamala etc from the sidelines, not straight away but when Joe and crew have a few tough hurdles to jump over and Trump can score a few points.

The Orange One, like any self-respecting narcissist, will be stewing in and on who to blame the most and who to get vengeance on for THEIR failure... because losing the Presidency had nothing to do with him, you see, it's all about fraudulent election results, fake news, fake friends... and so on. In his brain, he is the rightful heir to the Presidency and anyone who disagrees is a fake or fraud and to be taken down, insulted and abused.

Isn't it interesting that when he arrived in the Presidency his favourite accusations became 'fake' and 'fraud.' Can't say he didn't warn us... about who he really was!

Whatever he does, he's going to, concurrently, have to deal with some pretty damaging lawsuits, expensive lawsuits, brand destroying law suits.
