Why do you think she didn't cash it immediately?

Trump Donated To Harris's Campaign

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
From the initial article linked to the thread:
"Michael Steele, former chair of the Republican National Committee, snarked: “When Trump wrote that check to re-elect Kamala Harris in 2011, I bet he didn’t think she’d cash it in 2024!”
I don't know when she cashed it but my point remains true @Revoltingest.

It's a joke about her making good use of that check now.
In this campaign it has more value than a mere $8,000.

We'll see, I guess.
How about your biases and your failure to respond to Trump's endorsement of QAnon, hedonistic morality, denying the election results and conviction of crimes, Don't let reality get in the way of your biases.

Thats ok, she made good use of it and donated it charity a long time ago.
I do not see this as a win. Based on the sleazy hedonistic behavior on tap and convicted in courts. His endorsement of QAnon, and affiliation with extreme radicals like David Duke, Kenya-fuentes and extremists.

I hope so. Time will tell I guess. Or not. Doesn't much matter one way or the other.
As I recall, Trump became popular during the Reagan era, when a multitude of liberals and Democrats decided to embrace Reagan's warmongering ultra-capitalism, which Trump fit right into (and the Clintons, too, as it would turn out). He became the media's fair-haired darling for quite some time - even if he was often a butt of their jokes.
In any case, Trump was certainly not condemned and vilified as he is now, even though he has basically the same character that he always had. Maybe the media didn't do much investigating on him. Maybe they didn't want to report anything bad about him. It was the same with Reagan, as he was dubbed the "Teflon President."
You need to document and not just claim lies and respond to the documented problems as cited. Are you considering them lies?

Yes, he was a part of the "circle" and tried to get his props through his wild party persona that ended his first marriage and has continued. He was super envious of Hefner, but instead of being sauve, he was crude.
He started finding his current niche through his friendship with the McMahons and WWF, and had started building a bit of a respectable fandom with his Apprentice TV show, but many saw the man he truly is even through that lens.
I'm sure he's still "accepted" in certain social circles that wouldn't publicly claim him anymore, but "respected"? Take notice how he can't take teasing and stays away from functions where rubbing is the norm.
This is part of what I've seen over the decades, and for me, the final nail in his disrespectability coffin was his inserted opinion over the Benghazi tragedy.
I think that was a joke.

Ain't that the truth?

I hope it's not. Though it's not like he'd actually see it anyways.

Well, whatever. I'm not voting for him and I don't really care one way or the other.
I never liked him from the get-go, but more than that, I was mystified that the media made him into anything at all. Why did they give him coverage like they did? What purpose did it serve? I've heard that the character of Gordon Gekko in Wall Street was based in part on Donald Trump. The blowhard, pushy types were not all that uncommon during those times. Trump was at center stage for those who idolized the rich and famous. The idealism of the 1960s had died in the cocaine-fueled 1980s.
I remember thinking that the country was already heading to hell in a handbasket back then, but nobody would listen. "Don't Worry, Be Happy" was the slogan of the time. But look at us now.

I would enjoy it if Trump actually looked at his own statements. He's so thin he'd be fueling jokes on comedy shows for awhile.

Of course he wasn't condemned and vilified. He was a buffoon, but he wasn't actively courting the worst portions of our society in a bid for enough power to overturn democracy. He was just a flashy, terrible businessman who did some stupid, bad things.
And the media did indeed investigate him and report bad stuff about him. That's why so many people hated him well before his presidential runs. It was the same with Reagan. He was the "Teflon President" because all of the bad stuff reported about him somehow didn't sink him as a popular politician. When someone is called "the Teflon" something, it means a lot of negative stuff is thrown at them, but it doesn't stick for some reason.
