Out of curiosity, how do you think fiscally irresponsible Donald Trump would play the game of Monopoly?

Would Trump and his other fiscally illiterate "trickle-down" Republicans: Push through a Capital Gains tax cut to avoid playing the Luxury Tax? Mandate tax loopholes for players who have the most houses, hotels, and money? Create a Poverty Tax for the players who do not have property developments? Deregulate the bank and use it to launder money from questionable sources---in Trump's case, the Russian mafia (read Johnston, cited below)? Avoid all property taxes by claiming residence in Texas or having off-shore accounts? Sell off Boardwalk and Park Place to the wealthiest opponent---perhaps the China Bank or the Russian mafia? Use the money from that sale to subsidize the winning players? Use the new Forfeiture Law to declare all poor players (especially persons of color or women) to be drug dealers and forcefully seize their assets as "evidence" without bringing them to trial? Turn control of the bank over to the wealthiest foreign opposition? Take out a loan from the opposition-owned bank that exceeds his assets and income, assuring that the American taxpayers would foot the bill? Squander the loan money for perks and privileges or pay-offs to organized crime figures and government officials? Mortgage all property on hand for short-term monetary relief, sucker investors into backing your play, and then declare bankruptcy once these investors' dollars are safely deposited in your off-shore accounts or put under a pseudonym (like "John Miller" or "John Barron")? Make a deal with the new foreign banker to sell lethal weapons to the other players, who could then be incited into destroying each other, thus leaving their properties and money up for grabs? Receive a substantial share of the assets that were taken once the other players were destroyed? Land on foreign-owned Boardwalk that the wealthy (and subsidized) opponent had developed to the maximum level, and lose everything in one fell swoop as well as going deeply into debt? Call a press conference and blame the media, Congress, the Democrats, and the culturally elite for failing to win the game?

Cute question, is it not? I wrote it about George Herbert Walker Bush in my "Mighty Mouth Memo" newsletter in Election Year 1992. Still fits though...maybe even more so.

Suggested reading: David Cay Johnston (2016), "The Making of Donald Trump."

Trump would rewrite the rules, give himself interest-free loans, buy all the hotels at a discount and triple the rent. Then he would sell the hotels for a big profit. Based on this success he would borrow more, buy a casino, hide the profits in an offshore account and file bankruptcy. I think this is called cooking the books.

Make deals he has no intention of keeping unless things go his way, bully and bluff his way, "accidentally" turn over the table if need be.

I think he has been doing just that for most of his life, only with real money. And to ever-so-gently disabuse you, President Bush was NOT the first one to use the term "New World Order" publicly. It was first used publicly about 150 years ago by the one who is the author of it. Gorbachev used it not long before Bush did, and Gorbachev got it from materials he (and Yeltsin) requested after visiting the Lotus Temple in New Delhi while they were on vacation in India.

Another bit of trivia. The Lotus Temple is the most visited man-made edifice in the whole world.

How is Donald fiscally irresponsible? I believe Obama has put America in debt for billions.

I never finished that game...I'd get distracted by something, give all my money to the other person so I could go,. That game was so long and tedious!

But the type of 'person' he is, I'm sure when he got bored he just took the other person's money and informed them they had lost And then he'd just leave...regardless of anything the other person said.

He would use other people's money (including taxpayer subsidies) to make bad business decisions and bankrupt himself 4 times before passing GO once.

He demand to be the bank, and then use the bank's money to pay himself, buy his properties, etc. Then claim he's a great businessman. The best.

He'd probably flip the board over and claim that he won by default, because "he just wins, he's a great winner."

He'd offer the most amazing trade deals and then when he went bankrupt he'd flip the table over and blame all the illegals.

He would borrow money from the game of Life, that uses $100,000 bills to build his hotels.

$500 bills are for chumps and losers! He would borrowly BIGLY and his debt would be TREMENDOUS, and you will love it!

Then he would declare bankruptcy, tell the bank to get bent, and declare himself the WINNER!
