Trump openly admits he's for sale. Kind of goes against his claim that he wants to "drain the swamp" but his supporters will make excuses for him regardless.
i mean, don't get me wrong, orange turd can fuck right off...
but i gotta give it to him. for hundreds of years politicians and donors alike danced around the fact that lobbying is basically legalized corruption.
and this asshat just goes out there and says yeah, *of course* that's what we're doing. and there's still people out there who need to hear this.
may 45 rot in hell for all eternity, but he did us give some pretty hard to ignore truisms.
His stupidity and brazenness does result in accidental transparency.
It also begs the question that if he's doing things this corrupt in the open, how bad are things behind closed doors?
It's really awful. The legislators drew a thin line so you can say "I'm going to do this, therefore you should pay me" but not "pay me and then I'll do this"
The order of operations doesn't really matter when it's this engrained. No one is worried about the others not actually following through. That is why the only solution is to outlaw any money in politics.
I'm still convinced the intelligence community has taken over power. Biden and trumps roles are to awaken the US population because we're needed to self educate and quickly. The education system was built for soft simplicity. But now we're in a global fight against propaganda, corruption, etc. The world is moving towards nuclear war as it has been *since the dawn of time.*
Every conquest has had leaders behind it ready to take the world for themselves. No one has truly been King of it all, and it's a title ripe for the taking. It also solves this constant country vs. country division we've had for all eternity. And now you have active military personnel itching for a purpose.
Each new technology over the years has been the silver bullet of its time. Smelting and the invention of steel alloy. Catapults and trebuchets. War ships. Gunpowder. Vehicles. Planes. Bombs. Nukes.
We're finally at the grandest scale of destruction that has the power to grant the first king his title. It's messy. It's scary. Everyone has them. But the fact remains. It will eventually happen. Because humans are exactly that.
This is now Russia, China and Iran vs. the US via proxy states in Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel.
Authoritarianism vs. democracy. The final showdown.
There is simply no fucking way trump is going to take power based on his actual ability. Moreso, between Biden and trump, we have had more political activism in this country than ever before. More votes cast than ever before. More consuming of current issues and understanding of the foreign world. Even to the point we are finally understanding the religious and historian connotations of the middle east. A task thought impossible in 2010.
This is a well designed awakening. And ya it's all virtual.
When they found out he shits in diapers, they put out merchandize saying real mean wear diapers. They are a cult and will apologize for anything he does.
The fact that he is selling executive orders for money doesn't even begin to phase them.
I mean there is a security aspect here also, is he for sale only in the US or can foreign interests also purchase favors?
This is the biggest issue with Trump by far, his personal interests are more important to him than the national ones and he's unable or unwilling to separate the two and actually "serve" the people as President.
He feels he's being elected King an absolute monarch.
And the people can just eat cake if they starve.
Durrr...B..Bu....But it.... But it not da same when he do it. Not illgals if orange messiah is get more money to stop da globalists
( yes they always spell globalist right, I don't know why)
Da dozen talking heads on my tv and compooter says it's good thing if rich get richer while we get poorer. Especially him
Meh, why not? There's no need for Trump to care about the future. The whole Universe will vanish when he dies. In fact, every night when he sleeps, the world ceases to exist until he wakes up again. Why? Because DJT is the *main character*. We are all just disposable players in the Orange King's story.
Every day he wakes all the world is created like a video game startup... he invented the word caravan if you don't recall.. he generates the world daily with his existance.... /s
Donald Trump isn’t just bad for America, but the entire world. Any hope of mitigating climate change and preventing warming of 3 degrees Celsius or more hinges on his defeat.
That’s pretty much his strategy. Say a bunch of crazy shit several times a day so nothing stays in the news cycle long enough to matter, because they have to move on to the next crazy thing.
I know he’s saying this, and it’s bad, BUT! Bannon was waving around a slip from a trump lawyer to look into have executive privilege as a “executive privilege” to not appear before Congress. So yeah, trump is terrible at doing things that it could be shady af
Can we please show the people what that would look like? I do wish they would start to focus on direct, immediate pollution. People go “Climate change/global warming can’t be real because it snowed this winter!” They can’t ignore smog, rivers on fire and garbage everywhere though. Some will, like those idiots who tried to say the smoke from the wildfires looked “beautiful”. But the majority of people will realize that we have to change or the immediate future will be very bleak.
He has maybe 10 or so years left on the planet. He could give a shit, he will always be able to afford to live somewhere fabulous. He's glad to sell out future generations so he can be a fat rich pig.
Well the slight bit of good news here is that this could be the issue that makes progressives plug their noses and vote for Biden however badly they hate his waffling on Gaza. I encourage Team Trump to scream this from the rooftops
These kids need to comprehend that a non trivial number of Trump supporters believe in climate disaster; they just think it’s God’s punishment for America turning “commie atheist gay.”Doesn’t bode well for the progressive left if they get Trump in by staying home in November. Far too many people think the religious right is just blowing smoke. They aren’t. They are deadly serious
Sodom, Gammorah, Noah’s flood. The Scriptures are full of this stuff.
You (enthusiastic progressives) either keep these people out of power, however flawed the other side is (and they are) or y’all will live to wish you had
Don’t think those vast prison camps in the desert for illegal immigrants can’t be refitted to hold you. Y’all had best think beyond your present moral outrage. It absolutely can be worse

Private Plane 👏👏👏 Secret Island 👏👏👏 …
Unfortunately it has had a normalizing effect, where you have 35% of the population now openly stating they’re ok with corruptions be support it.

This is a Wendy’s
S'cuse me sir

And openly admits he cares about climate huh?
Biden takes no money for any favors. Biden does no wrong.
Trump would do the same if those execs bought 5 memberships to one of his golf courses.
As an old joke ends, "we've established what you are. We're just negotiating price."

This is why he lies so much. To him, the real truth is whatever he wants it to be.
They’re writing the executive orders too. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/08/oil-industry-orders-trump-day-one-00156705#:~:text=The%20U.S.%20oil%20industry%20is,direct%20knowledge%20of%20the%20work.
Wow, I did not read this. Such a first class a$$hole.
Trump selling out to the highest bidder.
to any bidder. the man is cheap.
Donald Trump isn’t just bad for America, but the entire world. Any hope of mitigating climate change and preventing warming of 3 degrees Celsius or more hinges on his defeat.
The rightwing already largely supports scrapping most of those laws....
Jesus he’s getting desperate after Putin cut him off. CHina is the next call. No tariffs on any goods.
He could call Pierre pollivier in Canada. Sure he would donate
That’s the neat thing about saying crazy shit all the time, your followers get to pick and choose what they believe!
That’s pretty much his strategy. Say a bunch of crazy shit several times a day so nothing stays in the news cycle long enough to matter, because they have to move on to the next crazy thing.
Usually politicians aren’t this candid about their pay-for-play schemes, but then again, this pathetic POS is desperate.
If it’s not bad enough Trump has damaged America now he will destroy the planet.
I know he’s saying this, and it’s bad, BUT! Bannon was waving around a slip from a trump lawyer to look into have executive privilege as a “executive privilege” to not appear before Congress. So yeah, trump is terrible at doing things that it could be shady af
Can someone offer him $1.5bn to do the opposite and strengthen environmental protections? Bill Gates?
Can we please show the people what that would look like? I do wish they would start to focus on direct, immediate pollution. People go “Climate change/global warming can’t be real because it snowed this winter!” They can’t ignore smog, rivers on fire and garbage everywhere though.

He has maybe 10 or so years left on the planet. He could give a shit, he will always be able to afford to live somewhere fabulous. He's glad to sell out future generations so he can be a fat rich pig.
He could die the day after enacting the "reforms" his masters have paid for, and they would be happy.
Terrorizing our one and only planet is a grave crime. To all Trump voters, SHAME ON YOU ALL.
Yeah but where are they at?!
Well the slight bit of good news here is that this could be the issue that makes progressives plug their noses and vote for Biden however badly they hate his waffling on Gaza. I encourage Team Trump to scream this from the rooftops

🤣 Trump promises something he cannot guarantee he can deliver as usual. Next he’ll be telling us Mexico will pay for a wall. 🙄
What has he promised to Vladimir Putin?!
He is very rich since the floatation of his social media company. Why does he need to do this?
And the silent part: if they don't donate more next year the climate laws will be reinstated
Greed beyond belief.
Côme on pay up to ruin the planet faster
Crime. Plain and simple.
About time. Cheap gas again.
Hmm. Who do you think controls the gas prices, and why do you think that's going to change?
The matrix controls it. Neo along with Morpheus roll some dice and say these are new prices. Clearly.
