Apparently trump has followed one tradition and left a note, any thought  on what it says? 

 

I'd hope something like 'im sorry for everything' 

"I realise now that I had the money and the opportunity to address my dysfunctional upbringing in therapy, to try to become a less damaged and narcissistic nightmare personality to the benefit of all around me, but that I wasted that opportunity and for that you all have to suffer not just me but Eric and Ivanka as well. You'll just have to hope that our dynastic fertility declines over time. Good luck, Donald"

 

With spelling mistakes though, obviously.

Apparently, the pardon which Trump issued to Bannon does not extend to Bannon's running that Wall-building donations fraud, about which the State court can still indict him

Presidential pardons only apply to federal crimes, state crimes and civil cases are still able to go on.

 

I don't know what he was pardoned for exactly but accepting one is  generally taken as an admission of guilt which you would expect to make related state and civil cases easier to prosecute. 

 

You also apparently, lose the ability to hide behind the 5th amendment, I guess only in relation to the pardoned crimes. 

 

Not entirely sure MrBannon has got the best of this deal.

 

Time will tell

Unwelcome news for Trump:

https://thehill.com/policy/finance/534881-trump-stock-performance-falls-short-of-obama-clinton

"In Trumps first term the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose from 19,827 to 30,930, a 56 percent increase.

That increase is below the 71.7 percent rise the Dow saw in Obama's first term, or the 111 percent increase under Clinton's first term.

 

The S&P 500, which gained 67.8 percent under Trump, gained 84.5 percent in Obama's first term, and 79.2 percent in Clinton's first term."

Capitol rioter claims he was 'duped' by Trump:

https://thehill.com/homenews/news/535526-capitol-rioter-claims-he-was-duped-by-trump-lawyer-says

The attorney for Anthony Chansley, the so-called QAnon Shaman, is blaming former President Trump for his client's involvement.

"He regrets very, very much having not just been duped by the president but by being in a position where he allowed that duping to put him in a position to make decisions he should not have made"

 

I wonder if Ticker has realised yet!

Taking it with a pinch of salt but a new book by a former KGB agent claims Trump "cultivated as an asset" by Russia.

 

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/29/trump-russia-asset-claims-former-kgb-spy-new-book

 

“Trump was the perfect target in a lot of ways: his vanity, narcissism made him a natural target to recruit. He was cultivated over a 40-year period, right up through his election.”

More bad news for those who admire the business skills of the bestest, most bigliest businessman in history, Donald Trumpet:

 

While the richest got spectacularly richer during the pandemic, the ex-president plummeted nearly 300 places in the Forbes list

 

It’s been a glorious pandemic for the world’s richest people. Forbes annual billionaire poll includes a record-breaking 2,755 billionaires, with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos once again topping the list, the media company said on Tuesday.

 

Not everyone was a winner. According to the latest list, Donald Trump’s standing among other billionaires has plummeted almost 300 places since 2020, down to No 1,299. The humiliating fall sits on Forbes’ list next to a quote from the former president reading: “I took a lot of finance courses at Wharton. First they taught you all the rules and regulations. Then they taught you that those rules and regulations are really meant to be broken.”

 

Trump has lost millions on his retail locations, hotels and golf resorts in the last few years. But it does seem that businesses who were distancing themselves from Trump after the Capitol attack, continue to lease his properties, helping him to rake in millions on some properties in the last year.

To be honest, I doubt even Trumpet knows how much (or little) he is worth*

 

Trumpet is notorious for artificially inflating the values of his properties when taking out loans against them, then artificially deflating those same property values when it came to paying tax against them.
