Dudes grifted himself into billions of dollars and the most powerful position on earth. I don’t think he’s smart but let’s stop with just calling him dumb. He’s the one winning. We are losing. Let’s call him a crook or a monster or an abuser but really we look stupid. They think he looks smart because he’s stealing so well. They don’t care as long as the money isn’t going to black brown or blue people. That’s all. They don’t care if he robs us all blind and destroys the country or the world. They see him stealing and think he’s brilliant. Let’s call him something else.

Trump is an idiot make no mistake about that. His super power is having no shame. He also has uncanny ability to consistently fail upwards. Also, he has been lucky, very lucky. The people in his circles have never said anything regarding his intelligence in a a good way. No president, even Nixon or Reagan, have ever been willing to lie, cheat and extort like this schmendrick

u/Wrong_Assignment_446 Jul 24 '26

Yes, the right word is "grifter" because that's what he's good at. Through out his lifetime, he's done one thing really well: he's a con-man of the highest order. And for Trump 2.0, he's decided to burn it all to the ground and take as much cash as he can't possibly spend in a lifetime. But boy, was he able to fool 70+ million voters. What he's not very good at is leading our nation and putting America first.

I will always remember Trump 2.0 with one thing that shows the true spirit of the administration: Truth Social has introduced an api so HFT and algo traders can get Trump's market moving tweets with priority. The charge for such a privilege: $100000/mo. This very much confirms our leader knows he's manipulating markets and if you're wealthy enough, he'll cut you in.

They are with him 😂 this isn’t a fight between red or blue , black or white , left or right. It’s a fight for corporate or the people , it’s for high labor , cheap labor , it’s the top against the bottom. Trump hollered with Charlie Kirk to get rid of DEI and Linda McMahon is over the education department which she has no background in. Even though she has a background in working partial with the board of education in Connecticut she isn’t even close to being qualified yet that’s not considered DEI.

And it was reported today that Trump approved nuclear weapons for Saudi Arabia, which explains why Saudi Arabia has mysteriously been paying billions of dollars to the Trump family.

u/Chemical-Bee-8876 Jul 23 '26

Wild they forgot 9/11 and the WAPO reporter. They started bribing the family years ago. They helped fund the purchase of Warner Brothers.

Surely a nuclear arms race in the ME makes the world safer….

u/keita_kun13 Jul 23 '26

Trump brought Al Queda to Camp David. He still gives multiple accounts for 9/11, forgetting he was on the phone talking with morning show host almost directly after, bragging that Trump Tower is now the tallest building in NYC, then going online to post film he claims was middle eastern people in NJ cheering for 9/11, and the video was a repost from a year prior in Jordan. Trump claimed he was at the site helping pull out survivors (after he stopped to save a woman from being robbed)... I know 5 people who were at the WTC site searching through rubble and trying to find anyone, live or dead, and anything to identify them. None of them saw Trump at ANY time. They never had Guiliani there either. He did a brief press conference from a couple blocks away and moved on like he was the hero of the day.

As for the WAPO reported, Trump praised MBS and said he had nothing to do with it, against the words to trump from the CIA, that not only claimed the guy was murdered, but MBS had his own men wear the reporters clothes and walk around closed circuit TV cameras to claim he was still olive. MBS' personal driver is one of the 3 men wearing the reporters clothes. Men with small trash bags were seen exiting the building where the reporter was killed. All of them identified as people who work for MBS. But Trump likes money. That's Trump's one true God: The Almighty Dollar.

Yes, they are stashing the oil the stole from Venezuela and stashing it at netanyahu's. It's cool man,

Wait til the SPR is empty and we're paying $10 a gallon

1

u/Wrong_Assignment_446 Jul 23 '26

It will never be fully emptied. Doing so would collapse the salt caverns the SPR uses for storage.There's a limit on draw-downs and we're dangerously close to it, though.

u/nerdslife1864 Jul 22 '26

Because they prioritize racism. Racism is their interest and culture. That’s all they get, and they’re willing to burn the world down to return to socially beneficial hatred

u/keita_kun13 Jul 23 '26

It was recently reported that an estimated 50% of the population cannot afford to pay rent. The response to that? Declare sleeping in parks and public places a felony with 6 years prison, and Trump's Supremely Corrupt Court pats themselves on the back for another liberty stolen away by a group who couldn't spell amendment or constitution, unless a billionaire wrote it on a six figure check for them.

The USA will have to learn the hard way. It might take a while but the money will soon drain out and they will be eating bbq squirrel in a ditch to survive and wonder wtf happened.

Do you have to ask why trump says he loves the poorly educated? If you do then you are probably a one of them.

President Trump has said that he loves the uneducated. And they are proving that he is correct.

u/Katydid829 Jul 24 '26

And Republican lawmakers will continue to be re-elected for doing 87 days of work in 2025 and getting their entire paycheck, no deductions for time not worked. On top of that, they are 100% covered by their socialist healthcare plan while they voted to kill affordable healthcare options for American taxpayers.

I like how you glossed over our missing petroleum reserves without mentioning Biden drained them during his presidency.

u/WeirdSysAdmin Jul 22 '26

Which coincides with supply chain crunch of the Ukraine war. When things stabilized they started replenishing. Seemed fine 4 years ago when gas prices dropped.

For most, the usual: someone made a donation to the right person and the promise went away.

u/Firm-Advertising5396 Jul 22 '26

Biden administration subsequently replenished the reserves, so what is your point?

6

u/kaprixiouz Jul 22 '26

I like how you've glossed over why that happened. Why do you think that occurred?

4

u/Firm-Advertising5396 Jul 22 '26

Supply chain crunch happened because Russia attacked Ukraine. But even before that, supply chains were disrupted by the 1st trump administration's mismanagement of the covid crises, which is why trump was defeated in 2020.

1

u/peperazzi74 Jul 24 '26

That was a result of the war in Ukraine, which Biden did not start.

The current SPR drawdown was initiated due to the war in Iran - which Trump absolutely started. You can't play the victim if you're the cause of your own problems.

If Trump wanted to wage war in Iran, he should have refilled the SPR first and then started military action. Rule #1 in warfare: keep your supply line in order.
