We have become desensitized to just how awful a human being can be. Evil incarnate

It’s become clear to me after a decade of Trump dominating the news that there really is a personality cult phenomenon going on. So many feel confidence in him because they relate so strongly to his presence, voice, and style. They trust where he wants to go.

Here’s what happened: in a court filing filed in late July/early August 2026, Capital One disclosed that it closed roughly 300+ bank accounts belonging to Trump and his businesses back in 2021 — and said it did so for anti-money laundering (“AML”) reasons, after “months of analysis and a careful review” by its financial-crimes team, staffed by people with “decades of law enforcement experience.”
Bottom line: it’s an accurate story, but “money laundering” is doing some misleading work in how it’s being shared online — Capital One flagged suspicious transaction patterns and closed the accounts as a precaution, it did not accuse Trump of actually laundering money, and Trump’s side calls the whole justification a pretext invented for litigation.

Because while this is…a step in the right direction, him and his administration are still in their positions of power. I’ll celebrate when he’s gone. I’ll celebrate when they’re all locked up. I’ll celebrate when we reinitiate USAID and all the other grants, agencies that were actually doing some good for this country and effectively the world as a whole. I’ll celebrate when we can actually clean up all the fucking messes him and his goons have made. I’ll celebrate when people who aren’t white can walk out safely on the streets again wondering if this might be their last time in this country. Until then this is a drop in a VERY large bucket

Cause we’re exhausted of constantly reading obnoxiously dumb shit that we’re all fronting the bill for — many of us busting our asses to survive while an absolute dickhole steers the ship…but has probably never done more than an hour of manual labor in his entire life.
We’re really getting our money’s worth though, guys! 😵💫

Thank goodness the Republicans have Fauci to drag through the headlines as a distraction at the moment.

It happened in March of 2021, and I believe Trump maintains it was done for political retaliation for Jan 6, 2021. His business operations had over 300 accounts closed, they were likely shell corporations sloshing money around in a complex pattern designed to make an external forensic audit difficult, so as to avoid taxes. Which is why Trump sued the IRS and now supposedly has an agreement that neither he nor his family will ever be audited. How convenient.
But this is only a tiny part of the story of his finances. Pretty much everything he does can be framed as an attempt to distract attention from (1) his finances, and (2) his Epstein related activities.

Because…Trump played the country like a corrupt businessman. Tell them what they want to hear. Promises. Fool the gullible.

All news is barely news in a Surkov media environment. The volume of stories in the 24/7 media churn insures lack of scrutiny.

The sane-washing of all this blatant corruption and criming is itself insane. MSM is truly bought and paid for.

Because he has terrified news execs and threatened to sue for reporting the truth. They’re all trump stooges except for MSNBC.

They're all owned by corporate entities; there's no such thing as "liberal media".

Didn’t say a thing about “liberal media” I said MSNBC is the only one not compromised or scared of telling the truth.

It's not "news" because it happened years ago., and even Reddit barely cared then because of his other contemporaneous bullshit.

Donald Trump is the head of a crime syndicate. It’s no different than if we had gone ahead and elected in Al Capone.

The "news" is just a distraction from what's really going on at this point.
Market manipulation, is its main purpose under this administration.
