Trump's Second Term

Famous antifascist:
We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
Infamous contemporary diapered fascist:

Bing-bing-bong!

The most corrupt president ever to give himself 1.7 billion dollars of the taxpayers money to create a slush fund for other corrupt oligarchs and convicted criminals.

President Donald Trump is expected to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion fund to compensate allies who claim they were wrongfully targeted by the Biden administration, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

The commission overseeing the compensation fund would have the total authority to hand out approximately $1.7 billion in taxpayer funds to settle claims brought by anyone who alleges they were harmed by the Biden administration's "weaponization" of the legal system, including the nearly 1,600 individuals charged in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol attack as well as potentially entities associated with President Trump himself.

While the settlement is expected to be agreed upon in the coming days, sources caution that the final terms will not be set until they are officially announced.
 
I generally agree with this. Since I consider the three branches of government to be co-equal, I take corruption in each branch with equal seriousness.
The power of the institutions is supposed to be co-equal, however that of Congress is shared over multiple individuals whereas that of the President is vested in one person. So the consequences of any individual being corrupt are far greater if it is the President, especially since the bizarre Supreme Court ruling about the legality of the actions of someone whilst President.

I doubt it. But even so, going from zero concern about the corruption of every other Senator and President ever, to absolute maximum unrelenting outrage about Trump's corruption in particular doesn't do anything to convince me you actually care about corruption.


Which President since universal suffrage (so since 1920) is similarly corrupt or more blatantly corrupt than Trump?

Nixon is the only one who comes close in my book, and even he was nowhere near.

Trump's corruption isn't just personal, it's institutional and attacking the foundations of democracy and the guard rails of the constitution.
 
What everyone but the Trumpers sees is One Statesman and One Vindictive Clown.
It's not hard to see on who's side you'd rather been for the rest of the century.
 
He's saying Trump should remove his protectionist tariffs and embargoes on Chinese-made stuff, since they're such great pals.
The best people

Trump border patrol chief Mike Banks has suddenly resigned after reports that he traveled abroad to solicit sex workers.

I can understand the possible backlash, what's wrong with USA sex workers? MAFA!!
 
The little man

Trump: "There's no oil coming out of Kharg Island. People are finding other places to buy oil, like Texas. So I don't want to say we're making a fortune, because if I say that, they're gonna say 'he forgets about the little man with the $4 gasoline.'"

They really believe it don't they?

@JDVance
There’s a reason President Trump is respected by world leaders, and it’s because he’s consistently shown a level of strength that we haven’t seen from our Commander in Chief in modern history.

@POTUS on his state visit to China: "We have a relationship, he and I, and we've been working together a long time. We've gotten along well. When I first came here, China was really taking advantage of the United States—he understands that—and now, we do great with China."
