I mean . . . Yeah. We know. We’ve been watching it happen every goddamned day.
Thanks for the reminder Guardian. Maybe you could name and shame a little more? It’s not happening magically. People with names and institutions are doing this corruption, so. Map it out. kthx.
And that $2.2B is just what he reported on his taxes--i.e. the technically legal income.
Early access for 100k? Fuck me sideways. Some twats will do it.
Wishing tons of non viloent misfurtunes to happen to all republicans.
I'm also wishing violent ones. After all, republicans are nazis, and the only good nazi is the dead nazi.
I'm talking stuff like having bad diarrhea and a sneezing fit while stuck in traffic. Or forever having one cent less than the purchase they're trying to make. Getting comfortable in bed starting to drift off to sleep then suddenly having to piss. Every poop is a splasher. That kinda of stuff.
And I'm talking about being confused for an inmigrant by ICE and consequently beaten/shot to death. Or involved in a violent arrest by the police and consequently beaten/shot to death, or simply caught in a road rage incident with a fellow ~~republican~~ nazi and consequently beaten/shot to death. That kinda stuff.
How do any remaining supporters justify this?
They believe that everyone does it, and that Trump is just better at it.
That's why if you point out something corrupt they point to someone else who the think did something corrupt, instead of saying both should be investigated and punished if actually guilty.
They don’t, they will just scream ‘fake news!’
They only trust the news that reports the things they want to hear.
I think there’s others that think the things he does for the country are good. And they take the good with the bad. Like lowering taxes (even though mostly the rich benefitted from that). Or whatever the fuck DOGE claimed to do. Or brain worm measles you.
He's GOD ,so 💩
more than a billion in crypto and during the white house Tesla infomercial he said he only uses cheques and doesn't use crypto
Misspelled "raped"
Now isn't that funny? It cost MORE to make a rich person richer than it does to make me rich.
Go figure.
And what's he even going to do with it? Dude is a walking caricature of American diet related health problems, in his 80s. Beyond the fact that so many groups would love to take a shot at him, he's pretty likely to take himself out within the next few years anyway.
So what's the point of getting absurdly rich? You can't take it with you, and he very obviously only cares about himself, so he isn't doing it for his family.
My father was a malignant narcissist.
They do live through their children. Not in any sort of nice, generous way. But they try to clone themselves via their offspring. Look like me, follow in my professional footsteps, have the same opinions about everything.
I think he’s talked about building a dynasty a few times, and that might be part of it. If he is the origin of a dynasty he probably thinks the world will se him as a god or some delulu shit. His interest in building monuments all over Washington also seem to paint a similar picture.
