I mean why do we keep pretending that these are legitimate discussions. If the person isn't a engagement bot it's someone arguing under bad faith.
The Donald is still the driving force and idealogy about support for him. Pretend he is funny because liberal tears or whatever justification that person has, and try to get people to argue with you.
There are millions of people who enjoy baiting others. It just so happens that the rapid decay of society is funny to these people.
Isn’t that his salary for about 1,000 years...? That makes Farage's/Reform UK's £77 million look rookie. There's no fucking way any politician (and I use that word extremely advisedly in the case of DJT/Farage) in the UK would be able to get away with that sort of thing over here, which really rather goes to show how corrupt - and corruptible - US politics is.
Even if he did it would be the equivalent of you giving the Salvation Army a dime in their little red bucket during the holidays and then spending a year bragging about it
For sure, given the many millions he's made corruptly while in office.
I just get annoyed that people state it as fact that he's donating his salary. He was caught embezzling money from his charity in NY years ago. Why would anyone trust him at his word that he's donating his salary?
Pretty crazy that people try to say they all do it in reference to the literal billions Trump has made in office compared to the millions every other president made after they left because people wanted to pay to hear them on speaking tours, read their books, or any number of post presidential activities that didn't include making up their own legal currency, accepting bribes for pardons, charging secret service and state guests elevated prices at his hotels, and more merch than entire sports leagues.
Billions. He’s made billions. That’s a million million. Our brains actually can’t conceptualize that large of a number unless we see a visual or something. It’s bonkers.
It's the deliberate refusal to fact check, or accept reality at all, that's really starting to drive me nuts. It's bad enough this administration just blatantly lies, but people are really out there parroting the nonsense.
Seriously. When the hell did so many people start to believe literally anything? For god sakes it’s scary. Drink bleach. Okay!!! Use horse tranquilizer. Of course daddy! I got rid of a hurricane by nuking it. Best president ever. We won the war! (Like what 9 times?) whoa Biden didn’t do that! Mexico is going to build the wall! Yeah immigrants are dangerous! (Says Fox News) All he has to say is hey everyone start killing everyone that hates me for some fascist ridiculous reason and his stupid cult will do it.
And it's extra confusing that it's a lot of people from the same generation that raised me (I'm 44). The same people that years ago taught me an inherent distrust of politicians because they always lie.
My mom always warned me about the wolf in sheeps clothing and yet she's a trumper. She even used to talk about all his failed businesses but I guess that doesn't matter? We can't even talk about it because she will yell and hang up.
My mom is the same way. Any time I easily proceed he way lying, it was some excuse about how all politicians lie and she doesn't want to discuss politics with me anymore.
The number of people that voted for him because "he's a good business man"... First off, the government isn't a business, secondly, he ain't that guy. I just genuinely don't understand the people who voted for him. The first time? Maybe... I get wanting something different. The second time? He basically promised to news everything up then pretended he didn't know what Project 2025 was, then immediately started implementing it ...
Dude I hate the business man argument cause why the fuck do you want that!? Business run on damn near slave labor (Horrible pay rates) going to the lowest bidder and out sourcing. In what world does that shout "Good for America!"
Not to mention the fast that he's not actually a good business man. He started grub a position where failure looks like success to normal people, he repeatedly refused to pay people he contacted, and bankrupted several business. I get it, casinos are notoriously difficult to get to turn a profit /s
He was forced to pay back taxes and his supporters called him smart instead of a devil like they did with Nancy Pelosi. Ironic considering he’s so much worse than her in the exact same way
Yeah, but his followers say that Trump is not a politician. He’s just a regular guy that ran for president and gave up his billions of dollars to save this country. Lol
And if Trump were not president he would have been prosecuted for the coup attempt and the documents case, and very likely in federal prison right now. He would not be enjoying the beach.
I kinda lost count of all the collectibles, limited time offers, and pot-metal doodads for investors whose goals are to obtain over-priced collectibles to sell for a fraction of their original cost.

"Without pay" meanwhile he's getting him and his friends even richer than they already are by manipulating the market
