remember the quaint old days in the first term when we were angry that trump was being bribed through his hotel?
Since the Repubs didn't care about that, trump came to understand all the money is his to take and no R will even raise a voice of concern.
So he's taking all the money. Great. Just great.
Trump was criticized for not fully divesting from his very legitimate businesses in his first term. He would get criticized if any businessman / foreign government stayed at a Trump property even though he can't do anything about it. If you'll get criticized for it regardless, why not actually do what they're claiming you do?

Your post the other day claiming that Trump setting up a slush fund to pay Jan 6ers by settling his own lawsuit with his own agency was fake news was a pretty dump post. So don't sell yourself short.
It is NOT just for Jan 6ers, this is from your Bible of misinformation and tilted perspectives. CNN. But that is all you will list. There were tons of other "regular" citizens targeted by Biden DOJ, especially parents in Va. Not debateable.
There appears to be few constraints on who can submit a claim to the fund. The president has broadly stated that his allies were politically targeted by the justice system, from the years-old Russian collusion investigation to the nearly 1,600 people charged in connection to the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot.
Likely Venn overlap between obedient Trump cultists rewarded and Americans actually treated unfairly: Zero.
It’s simply no fun for the worst person in America to reward the second group.
“President Trump is one of the most consequential and successful presidents in American history — a leader who has fought tirelessly to deliver for the forgotten men and women of this country and Make America Great Again,” said Davis Ingle, a White House spokesperson. “The Trump Presidential Library will be one of the most magnificent buildings in the world and a living testament to the indelible impact President Trump has made on America and its people.”
Trump traded $50-$70 million in stocks during the first quarter while meeting with executives. Look at his conveniently timed Troof Social posts. The dude is a criminal.
On February 10, Trump bought between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell stock. Three months later, on May 8, he stood at a Mother's Day event at the White House, thanked Michael Dell by name, and told Americans to "go out and buy a Dell." Dell stock surged 14.6% that day to an all-time high of $263.99. Since Trump's February purchase, Dell is up 96%. And 5 months BEFORE Trump bought Dell stock, Michael and Susan Dell donated $6.25 billion to Trump Accounts, one of the largest philanthropic commitments to a sitting president's signature program in modern history. So the timeline goes: Dell donates $6.25 billion to Trump's program -> Trump buys Dell stock ->Trump tells America to buy Dell from the White House podium -> Stock hits all-time high And that's just ONE stock... The same filing shows Trump bought Nvidia stock on February 10. One week later, Nvidia announced a massive chip deal with Meta. He bought more Nvidia stock one week BEFORE his own Commerce Department approved the sale of Nvidia chips to Saudi Arabia. He bought Intel stock starting in March 2026. The US government already owned a 9.9% stake in Intel worth over $41 billion. On April 30, Trump posted on Truth Social praising Intel, writing that "Intel Stock continues to rise." Intel jumped 3% in after-hours and is now up 140% year-to-date. He bought Palantir stock while his administration was actively handing them billion-dollar government contracts for immigration enforcement and defense. He bought Robinhood stock while his own Trump Accounts program uses Robinhood as the broker. He's currently sitting on over 100% profit on AMD, Intel, Bloom Energy, Marvell Technology, and at least 10 other positions. Every single president since Lyndon B. Johnson has used a blind trust to avoid exactly this situation. But Trump didn't. His assets sit in a trust controlled by his own children, and the filings show a broker acted as agent on several trades. The White House says the portfolio is "independently managed." But here's what independently managed looks like: Buy Dell stock. Three months later, publicly endorse Dell from the White House. Stock hits all-time high. Buy Nvidia stock. One week later, your own government approves their chip sales. Stock rips. Buy Intel stock. Post about Intel on Truth Social. Stock jumps. The government you run already owns a 10% stake. Buy Palantir. Hand them contracts. Buy Robinhood. Route a federal program through their platform.
2029 or 2030, if he’s still alive:
SCOTUS: “We’re really smart and went to Ivy League law schools and we’ve looked at this really carefully, and it’s COMPLETELY clear that the Founders explicitly intended for the president to be allowed to inside trade. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
We believe Iran has tons of missile and drone and terror capability, so we can't attack them anymore. Because if we do, Iran will blast away at allies Israel, Quatar, etc.
So we have no cards. We've given Iran a gigantic bargaining chip in the form of the Strait. They control everything. We can't stop them without steep cost to allies.
6 billion people hosed because America has tens of millions of idiots.
Trump has recreated a version of the North/South Korea conundrum (the North’s apparent ability to obliterate Seoul) that existed before North Korea got the bomb.
“President Trump is one of the most consequential and successful presidents in American history — a leader who has fought tirelessly to deliver for the forgotten men and women of this country and Make America Great Again,” said Davis Ingle, a White House spokesperson. “The Trump Presidential Library will be one of the most magnificent buildings in the world and a living testament to the indelible impact President Trump has made on America and its people.”
This is incorrect. The oil companies, at least, have NOT forgotten the poor, forgotten men and women of America. They’re just charging them at $4.50 a gallon.
Remember when republicans campaigned to release the Epstein files, campaigned against high inflation, against new wars, against presidents too old to do the job, against corruption?
those were amazing times. 2024. Seems so long ago.

Now Trump wants to destroy any GOP lawmakers that voted for the Epstein transparency act. Keep in mind that Trump himself signed the Epstein transparency act into law.

The Trump Presidential Library, should it be built on the land intended, is a condo tower or hotel soaring above a joke of a library, that will obscure the Freedom Tower next to it, and is as corrupt a grift as any other that Trump has conned people into. It will be an abomination.
And your screen name is an interesting choice. Why name yourself after a massive failure that shifted public money into private hands, never achieved anything, and closed down soon after opening?
When people look up "Boondoggle," it will say, "See also, Alligator Alcatraz."
No, sorry, Mr. President. Not gonna let that go. Your administration is breaking the law every day that the remaining materials have not been released.
Vance: Whenever the United States government incurs legal expenses—it pays out those legal expenses. Is it reasonable for Tina Peters to get some compensation? Yes.

Can all the FBI agents fired by Trump for following orders to investigate him apply?
The families of the Capitol Police officers who were beaten or killed as a result of the riot did not receive a cent but the people who assaulted them are now aligned for huge taxpayer payouts.

Decide what year it was for you personallly but for me in the year 20XX, both parties demonstrated that they weren't serious anymore so they don't deserve my vote.
I've been gladly supporting independent candidates and hopefully one day we will have many more options than what these morally bankrupt political parties put up as candidates at all levels of government.
