It'll reaffirm that he's a horrible business man, and possibly a criminal. But nothing of substance will happen.
It'll show his worst nightmare. He's not a billionaire.

One of the theories in 2015 was that Trump did not just try to run for President for a bigger pay out at The Apprentice
but also that his 'business empire' was on the verge of bankruptcy again and the DC project was underwater.
He needed a way to make money fast and fill up the new DC hotel.

A number of articles highlighted the dire state of Trump's properties during that time, including Trump Tower which was half deserted and poorly maintained.
Further adding to this speculation was the fact that Trump had charged his campaign and the secret service much higher rents for the space they rented at Trump Tower.
Plus when pressed he did not want to fund his own campaign with cash (as he told his supporters he would) and only gave out some vague loan guarantees.

Until at some point they needed money fast and somehow, somewhere he coughed up a few million of the sum they requested with the understanding that it would be repaid in full even if he would lose.

The inauguration, which was basically a money laundering scam from top to bottom may have been the way to 'repay' his friends.

Remember that Cohen paid Stormy out of his own pocket and Trump didn't reimburse him until after the election.

If he loses the election this will end with Trump having dinner with Putin, Mickey Rourke and Berlusconi while shit posting on Twitter.

You're right but Trump didn't reimburse him until after he was elected.

Can't wait for Trump to claim again the reason why he doesn't make a profit is the U.S. tax system set up as such.

Democrats will decriminalize marijuana use and reschedule it through executive action on the federal level. We will support legalization of medical marijuana, and believe states should be able to make their own decisions about recreational use. The Justice Department should not launch federal prosecutions of conduct that is legal at the state level. All past criminal convictions for cannabis use should be automatically expunged.

...

Marijuana: Decriminalize marijuana use and legalize marijuana for medical purposes at the federal level. Allow states to make their own decisions about legalizing recreational use. Automatically expunge all past marijuana convictions for use and possession. Lift budget rider blocking DC from taxing and regulating legal marijuana and remove marijuana use from the list of deportable offenses. Encourage states to invest tax revenue from legal marijuana industries to repair damage to Black and brown communities hit hardest by incarceration.

But honestly I think the issue's been mostly settled on the federal level anyways. Jeff Sessions rescinded the Cole Memorandum when he was AG but nothing actually happened. They're not going to mess with state legalization no matter who's president.

Quote
WASHINGTON — When President Trump first threatened to pull the Republican National Convention out of Charlotte, N.C., Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida started campaigning to bring the event to his state.

But now, as convention planners in Jacksonville seek to raise tens of millions of dollars on an almost impossibly rushed time frame, and in the middle of a raging pandemic, the governor is hindering those efforts, interviews show.

Mr. DeSantis, a Republican, has directed his top fund-raiser, Heather Barker, to tell donors not to give to the convention because of a personal dispute between the governor and Susie Wiles, his former campaign manager who is serving as an informal adviser to the convention planners, according to multiple people familiar with his actions.

Trump finally revealed the secret they've tried to keep hidden for so long.
That he did went to Walter Reed under the 'guise' of an annual check-up because the staff was obviously worried he had lost his damn mind or had a stroke and everyone was surprised he aced the cognitive test.  :dead

I don't really have a problem with this.

The PPP wound down with $130 billion in unspent funds. Those loans didn't crowd anyone out and giving money to churches so they can stay closed during the plague is good.

At least 10 groups with a history of making anti-Black, anti-LGBTQ or anti-immigrant statements received loans from the government's small business coronavirus relief fund.

11 if you count the Church.

There are endless stories of small business owners who tried and tried to get PPP funds and would just get put on hold for hours and never get a response and couldn't get a PPP loan. Yet NBA teams, big name music acts, churches, etc were able to easily get these funds.

We should be paying for roadies, security, ticket-takers, hot dog vendors, etc. to stay home while live events are cancelled. That's a good thing!

The problems with the PPP came from trying to stand up a massive lending program on short notice and (either to get it through a GOP Senate or because that was the system available to them) doing it through the banks. Millions of people waited weeks before their UI kicked in but we understand this isn't the fault of people who were getting their UI payments.

Stories like this and the one about stimulus checks being sent to dead people (one half of one percent of the total) look like accountability journalism, but they've got nothing to do with the actual crisis. Pressuring politicians to be more careful with the money cannon is pushing in the wrong direction.
