📌Can you imagine the conversations in MAGA households tonight as they try to justify Trump taking a $440 million bribe, after whining about the price of eggs for four years?

Do they actually know about the $400 million plane? If they DO know, do they believe his lies about how it’s a gift and “we” shouldn’t turn down a gift?
One would hope that those conversations and subsequent outrage are actually taking place. Then, you read a post on Meta from a person who declares that he is the best President we have ever had.
😂…U think they’re having a conversation about him getting a plane? I think the conversation more on how to throw a great big ‘welcome’ to AMERICA for their new White Supremacy, Apartheid Apologists extended families! IMO! Wonder who’s bringing the bean casserole? 🤔
Well maybe they can use the big new plane to fly in cheap eggs from, uhhhh you know, magical cheap egg fairyland or wherever, that place with the 2 dollar a gallon gas
And you and the rest of American taxpayers will pay for everything to make it viable…not to mention the other 2 planes Dumpf already bought that you and American taxpayers are paying for. Stratergary 👍🏿
Under the federal Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act, a gift from a foreign country valued at more than $480 is deemed a donation, not to the recipient, but to “the people of the United States.”
There may be good reasons to reject Qatar’s plane offer, but treating it as a bribe isn’t one of them.
Yes. I had to buy a vaporizer at Walmart yesterday and decided to see what the price of avocados were there. I never shop at Walmart. I tossed back the avocados which were barely larger than the seed inside them. Three cost $8. A woman and her daughter were also looking at avocados.
The women couldn’t understand why they were so expensive. I told them they were expensive because of Trump tariffs. The daughter told me they were Trump fans and that everything will be cheap when Trump fixes the trade imbalances. After a couple of minutes of this insanity I flat out
Told them they were morons and nothing is going to be cheaper ever. They were shocked someone contradicted their insanity. These idiots will believe anything Trump tells them even after they lose their social security and healthcare. It’s a cult.
They are just employees. Trump is their employer. His job is to extract all usefulness out of them for the least cost. He's running America like a business.
“It was so dang nice of them Cleatus to give him a birfday prezzy, the plane, them thar folks must love him as much as we do! Now c’mon over here and pick the lint outa my navel”
They're not talking about it because they only watch Fox, which is reporting it as a totally kosher, cool, and normal thing, to the extent they're reporting on it at all.
Setting: A MAGA family birthday party.
Karen: sorry, honey. No birthday cake. We can't afford eggs.
Polly Ester: But I get my Barbie, right?
Bubba: No, sorry, sweetie. There aren't any in stores. Here! I got you a chance to have dinner with the greatest president ever.
Karen: You did what?!

Polly Ester: But I wanted a Barbie.
Karen: How did you swing that, Bubba?
Bubba: No problem. We're fine. I took out a second mortgage.
Karen: But darling, between the credit cards and first mortgage we're already cutting it close.
Bubba: Don't worry. Our investment...

Karen: what investment? I thought we sold our Microsoft stock.
Bubba: We did but I reinvested that money into our favorite president's EFT Cards
Polly Ester: You mean those cards you got me for Christmas when I wanted a Playstation?
Karen: But we don't want to buy that foreign stuff.
4/
Bubba: Yeah, sweetie. We want you to have real American stuff.
Polly Ester: Like Barbie?
Karen: Right.
Bubba: and those EFTs have increased in value.
Karen: Really that's what our president says. That's why I bought so much Trump Coin. We'll be rich!
5/
Polly Ester: (voice rising) But I want a Barbie!
Bubba: We'll get you one just as soon as the factory is built in the good ol' USA
Karen: and Barbies will be cheaper.
Polly Ester: When will that be?
Bubba: About six years. By then the Trump coin will be worth billions and we'll get you two.
6.
Karen: Yeah, and you'll be able to work there.
Polly Ester: I'm five. I'll be 11 then.
Bubba: A little hard work never hurt anyone. Look at me! I've got three jobs! And your mom has two.
Polly Ester: But what about school?
Karen: We'll home school you. Your be as smart as our president.
Wait! You think MAGA households hear about this?! That’s so cute. All they hear is “the left hates people who make money!” and “patriots love inflation!” and “real Americans are in financial pain” (yes, the cognitive dissonance is strong with them).
They will be simply regurgitating Trump’s words verbatim. You can point out many examples of other politicians not doing it. They will side with the cantaloupe every.single.time.

There you go again, twisting the truth.
They're acting out on X.
