If Trump is that corrupt then why has the left tried to kill him several times?

He's better at it than them?

Name me ONE politician who has entered public office and then exited office with less wealth. They are ALL crooked thieves and should hang from the gallows.

If Trump was doing something illegal, actually criminal, surely one or two of those federal judges who have stopped him from doing things like deporting aliens or firing career government drones would have stopped that as well.

Is a lot of his stuff tasteless? Sure, but we let a lot of idiots post here with claims even more offensive.

(fake 'sycophant' claim in 3, 2 ...)
Trump controls the DOJ and Republicans both the house and senate. If the latter flips, the charges will start coming I'm sure in the form of articles of impeachment. .

If they do, it better be better substantiated than the last two. If the democrats unsuccessfully impeach again, they will likely shrink their base again.

Trump controlled the DOJ when those clowns barred him from deporting illegals and building the ballroom, nothing is stopping them from doing it now.

Unless, that is, Trump is being crude but legal. On that case you are just doing cheerleading for the Left.

I mean we know it's the Guardian..so we all can see it's a partisan outlet on the Left

But this is just lazy journalism that does not even give its readers the real facts

It implies a $400 million dollar plane from Qatar is enriching Trump personally….but that is not the case at all

[The Qatari Ministry of Defense gifted the plane to the U.S. Pentagon in a government-to-government transaction.]

[the transfer is legal because the plane belongs to the U.S. Air Force rather than the president personally.]

[After President Trump leaves office, the plane is expected to be placed in a presidential library or museum.]

The plane is owned by the government and will go to a museum after the end of the Presidential term.

Trump does not see one dollar from this plane that was gifted to the American people and government

The basic concept of this attack on Trump is the government of Qatar should not have given the American government a plane. And that somehow in a bizarre twist this "enriched" Trump in some strange way.

I don't know what to tell you. The guy took 200 million from Miriam Adelson and started a war.

Now he's selling early access to insider trading tweets for $100,000 a month.

None of this is what MAGA voted for.

Exactly.


However, it is what MAGA voted for, they just didn't realize it. Trump's life has been an open book of disastrous decisions, self promotion and aggrandizement, illegal activities, deceit, lying, and conning people. MAGA bought the swamp land he was selling in Florida.


He was the only candidate in either party that stood up to the mass immigration - legal and illegal - that is destroying our country. He was the only candidate in either party that stood up and said he wouldn't start a bunch of foreign wars. People correctly identified the major problems afflicting the country and went with the one guy who said he would do something correct about them.

Ted Cruz? We would have ground troops in Iran already.

Kamala Harris? We would be at war with Russia for Ukraine, transing the kids, and another couple of million illegals would be in the country.

It is over. There isn't any fixing the calamity that is now heading our way.

Way more than a couple million illegals

Only one of us consistently excuses and justifies behavior and actions they would lambast anyone else for not named Trump. The fact you can't acknowledge the reality that a Trump headed DOJ wouldn't bring charges against Trump just puts on full display your level of obtuseness.

I won't cling to anything, it's just that the choice is either

1) luncacy from the left, reducing America to a fraction of its greatness, increasing crime, and reducing liberty
or
2) repubs advancing for the citizenry and fighting the lunacy, and if some corrupt individual politicians making a few bucks, I'll just trust authorities to take care of it. I'll vote against it when I can, but I'll vote against the left always.

If the left were in charge, they'd be grifting as well. And they still are grifting.

The net effect of Trump has been far more positive than anything else. We are still one election away from never getting our country back from the people who want to take us down a dystopian future - Canada like.

Anthony Fauxi did it off the dead backs of grandmas and grandpas. Never seen you complain about that..?

Interesting

Please provide proof of your assertion.

From that bastion of far right information, Gemini AI by Google:
Dr. Anthony Fauci and his wife, Dr. Christine Grady, held an estimated household net worth of $7.6 million prior to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. By the end of 2022, around the time he stepped down from government service, their net worth had grown to approximately $11.5 million. Post-retirement speaking fees and book contracts have since pushed estimates higher. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

From the New York Post:
Anthony Fauci's staggering earnings since leaving government revealed as divisive Dr. doubles net worth

Adding this info to the over 100 times pleading the 5th, I think there is plenty of smoke here.

I know Daniels goes overboard on things, but you tend to do so as well.

How many times did Trump plead the 5th in depositions? Must be plenty of smoke there too, huh?

Trump also didn't have blanket pardon either. You do understand this, correct?

You understand that a presidential pardon only applies retrospectively to past actions and cannot immunize anyone against future crimes, false statements, or perjury committed during subsequent congressional testimony.

Similarly, Trump was trying to protect himself in a court proceeding from perjury. By your standard, Trump must be guilty.

Liberals- Trump is a horrible business person and everything he touches loses money

Liberals- Trump has made a ton of money with crypto!!! He is making a ton of money

Both scenarios are true.

He found a way to use the Presidency to fleece the government and gullible people.

How do you like your Trump crypto, Trump pardons for sale, Trump watch, Trump Bible, Trump shoes, Trump inflation, Trump war, Trump awarding government contracts to family, self and friends, Trump wrecked alliances with allies?

lol. You do realize Trump is a brand? TDS is so sad

Yes, I realize Trump is a con man brand - a brand with a long history of fraudulent practices with quasi slumlord origin. You do realize he is selling access to the presidency through his business scam ventures, selling pardons, fraudulent fundraising schemes and scofflaw methods, analogous to his real estate, and other fraudulent business practices, but on steroids.

lol . If Trump's life is just one long con of disasters and lies, explain how the "failed" real-estate guy built a global brand, won the presidency twice, and still has half the country chanting his name while you're out here writing fan fiction about Florida swamp deals.

Open book of disaster that somehow keeps winning. Your post doesn't even make sense.

The same way any con man does. Sell what the gullible want to hear.

I wouldn't consider his record deficit spending "like no one has ever seen," the wrecked state of our economy, wrecked reputation and confidence with allies around the world, seat of the pants diplomacy, and a war he started on a whim winning.

We have exactly what we should expect from a malignant narcissist, someone Rex Tillerson called a "moron" - a dangerous malignant narcissist in the White House, with all of the potential consequences.

I thought you weren't about whataboutism. I never absolved Trump of anything here. Are you trying to absolve Fauci?

No, I'm being objective about Fauci. You seem to forget that he served under Trump (the self described genius who knows more than anyone), the man who admitted in Woodward's taped interviews to lying to the public about Covid.

I'm starting to wonder about the narrative surrounding those events as well.

Math club shooter and an ear shot?

Broke guy from Nevada who was trying to recruit Pakistani mercinaries for Ukraine flies to Florida, uses ChatGPT to find out where Trump is going to be, and somehow gets his hands on a rifle?

Those two events disappeared from the news about as quickly as the Las Vegas shooter.
