I don’t know, being able to rack up amazing debt seems like a good qualification to be US President.

Thomas Jefferson, the FIRST Democrat had a lot of personal debt. May that is why the South Bend Lawyer wants to get rid of him. John Adams, the First Republican, had a lot of assets. Things haven’t changed much in all of these years.

Maybe MS Cortex could rent him a little bed space in her DC luxury apartment, which SHE probably can’t afford, either

He’s a perfect fit for the Rat Congress. He needs lessons though from Mad Maxine how to get rich via graft and campaign funds.

Can’t manage his debt despite making over $100K the past several years. He doesn’t own any real estate. Are you kidding me? I wouldn’t let him manage my piggy bank full of pennies.

Not necessarily. According to Wiki, he married his second wife in 2016 and she’s a sales director for the Ritz Carlton hotel in Half Moon Bay, CA. They also have had two kids in the time since they got married. Purely guessing, I’d say they probably have a combined income of about $275,000 per year on which they have to maintain two homes and pay for the kids.

Working in the financial industry, potential new hires are subject to a credit check in addition to the usual criminal, drug, and educational background checks.

The reason being that you don’t want to hire someone with financial motivation to raid the cookie jar.

This guy seems ripe for corruption and influence peddling.

He can’t manage his own affairs, and he wants to manage the country?
