I know it's a rhetorical question, but for my own mental health, I need to voice the answer. Because Trump and all his team are a sack of lying bastards! Did I get it right??
My mother is 75 she has seen through his bullshit for years, she has expressed numerous times.. Never ever held accountable!
Not to mention most his cabinet has never been held accountable! It’s time to change it!
I have some doubts Democrats would be really fixing things if they had supermajority and if for once there would be no traitor among them. The spines are the eternal problem.
We don't need a convicted FELON in the White House, extorting companies and countries to give him money. We deserve better than this conman. Remove him from power already.
He had to use it to keep up the sale pitch promising a gold watch and a visit to him at the White House for the top 25 investors among the top 220 that was at that meeting/dinner/party. He needs to keep the corruption going to enrich himself while cutting medical care for millions.
Ohhh…interesting point, since the SCOTUS ruling seems to cover only “official” acts 👍🏼 (tap on photo to see the full sentence: no immunity for UNofficial acts). Maybe her snippy, know-it-all arrogance will end up being our salvation 🤞🏼🙏🏼
Yeah…I saw a photo of the meal; it looked like a premade plate that you’d get on an international flight! 🙄 I think they said he spoke for 30 minutes and did a couple of those sad fist pumps that they call “dancing” before lumbering off the stage. Serves them right, I guess! 🤷🏻♀️
He’s America and it deserves him. Decades of USA leadership both GOP & DEM basically ignoring the poor & the working class, and during this time the Democrats focused more on their own power structures & donors than interested in improving societal structures including healthcare and education.
Since it was "personal" and not "presidental", is anyone surprised that the dinner and meeting didn't include a crown, a robe, a throne and a royal septor?
Why does he have a playpen around the podium? Is that to hide his special shoes? So he doesn’t tip over. Those flags look like they just unwrapped them, it all looks so trashy.
He and his Nutsi thugs lie about everything. The combination of arrogance and stupidity makes them think nobody notices. The sociopathic narcissism tells them they can get away with anything.
So far they right because voters are dumb and collaborators have no souls.
…to feed an ego because it reminds him of a giant wrestling belt and to be able to later argue it was an official event at at future trial during the immunity argument.
The Supreme Court states he has immunity if his actions are in the pursuance of a presidential act.
He thinks putting up the presidential seal covers him
They never really define what a presidential act is though. Which Is kind of a problem since normally in order to get that kind of ruling you would go to an appellate court or the Supreme Court but it's already a Supreme Court ruling so you would have to ask the Supreme Court for clarification
Clear corruption but the Supreme Court and the republican controlled congress will back him up. It’s like the classified documents case. He can change his status any moment with his mind. He’s a magical god-man.
That is not an hourly job, as much as you should be working at Target check out. That is a salary job and you work 24 hours a day. Read the job description next time.
as much as I would like him to have to go without protection it just doesn't work like that - he will have SS protection 24/7/52 - for the rest of his life - though how they do that if he goes to prison would be interesting
NB - he isn't going to prison - he should but he will not.
Because Trump is allowed to do whatever he wants. Not because it is legal, moral, or constitutional, simply because our friends and family who support him are failures as Americans.
He’s trying to cover his ass. If it’s “personal” it doesn’t fall under the definition of presidential immunity as defined by SCOTUS. He’s trying to play all the angles as usual.
what is that act that says you're not supposed to take money or advertise products while representing the government? Anyway, it's quaint and obviously outdated. We have a new model.
Immunity is gone,. he is using the office for a money gathering operation where he shakes down everyone using the power of the American people to do it.
MAGA is corruption!
MAGA is theft.
MEGA is authoritarianism used to take from the many to give to the few.
Agree with all of the above. It's also nice to see that someone else's auto-incorrect on their phone wants it to be mega instead of maga, I have to fix that on mine all the time. Unfortunately, I think the way the immunity ruling is worded practically everything he does in office he's immune for 🤬
It'd be surprising if these props were not kept at his golf club hereafter;
either A
for insurrection army, mob-raising use via subscription media
Or B
for therapeutic, role-playing as forever president, dementia remembrance purposes.
He wants to have it both ways. Personal time, so he can grift without a governmental watchdog on his tail. Behind that Presidential Seal, so he can grift to the attendees as the "biggest, baddest, most powerful man in the world" AND to claim his criminal activities there as non-prosecutable,
I wondered that very same thing when I saw that picture previously. I heard some sycophant say that he wasn’t there long enough for any influence peddling. However he was there long enough to let them know his door is always open. This is impeachable behavior, he is selling his influence.
Bc earlier in the day Karoline Leavitt screwed the pooch by saying on record that he was doing this in “his personal time,” which would be outside the immunity granted to him by SCOTUS. So this was damage control to make it look like an “official effort” so that he could claim immunity.
I’d love to know the symbolism in the rug. Just below the podium. It looks like a Baphomet head with two sixes as horns. Anyone know what these patterns are?
To make it an extra illegal event? He was supposed to divest himself of his business the first time around, he squeaked by that one by announcing his kids would take over. This time he feels like he can do whatever he wants.
Like if Trump had any distinction between his personal and presidential lives...? But unfortunately too many dumb Americans haven't learned anything with his last presidency and how he profited with it since day one...
He loves to brag. It's a sad day that someone like him is the leader of the free world. I hope parents are telling their that he is the worst example to follow.
How many rules, regulations, protocols, and laws can he violate/break before someone with a backbone removes him to either a psychiatric facility, nursing home, or jail?
As we have witness during 47's first & second terms, Corruption begins at the top. However, what we want to know is how we peacefully remove him from office before irrevocable harm is done.
For those lucky enough not to have studied Latin - “corruptio incip a summo” means corruption starts at the top.
There’s only one m in sumo too - please rewrite 100x 🤨
"a summo" means "from the highest" or "from the top," while "a sumo" refers to the verb "sumo" which translates to "to take, assume, or obtain."
So yeah - “the top” is a noun and I’m now in self imposed detention 😂😂🫡
Seriously. He had a replica of the Lincoln desk made for his office at Maralago after he was voted out of office. It's creepy how he continued to pretend he was still in office & those around him went along with it.
His entire administration is reality show now- Noem flying around for photo ops, Whiskey Pete needing a makeup room Patel jet setting to rub elbows with celebrities......
In his mind there’s no difference. He has been doing everything to advance himself and a few others personally. He isn’t in it for advancement of society-that much is very clear.
The only truth coming from him is his complete “take-over” at the expense of Americans…I’ll give him that…pure clarity.
You don't understand. Since the orange pile of lard took office, this has became the personal seal. And the role of all the presidency is to make Trump and his rich arsekisders richer on the backs of his underclass arsekissers and everybody else in the US and the world.
Comments
Since this is a personal act, can the judicial system go after him for bribes?
Who paid for it?
DON'T FEED THE OLIGARCHS
No scrutiny
No sanctions!
Not to mention most his cabinet has never been held accountable! It’s time to change it!
You have MUCH wider audience to get the message out.
Maybe it’s worth a follow back?
He’s despicable
Or he’s simply that stupid.
Or he could not give a shit about rules or decorum.
Or all of the above. I vote this one. ✅
Get out of jail free card!
that's what he's gonna do.
it's not even
news anymore.
I'm out.
Nothing makes sense.
Paging Hunter Biden, report to irony, stat.
So far they right because voters are dumb and collaborators have no souls.
Eventually they’ll overreach.
He thinks putting up the presidential seal covers him
The power of brainwashing...
Cashing in on his “personal time” with WH resources. 🤨
NB - he isn't going to prison - he should but he will not.
(I know... 🙇🏼, but anyway!)
Being President isn't a part time job, you dickbrain.
Honestly, there really isn’t much that slime ball does that seems honest and legal.
Off to jail for him and his bunch of drunk crooks.
informs us immediately, this is not about bettering America
Oops, kind of answered my own question 🫥
There's a Presidential seal there too
yuck my thought bubble just blew up!
It’s all about making money … ‘how’ doesn’t matter
He has debased the Office of the Presidency and our Country and we will never recover our prior stature around the world
He’s not on official presidential business?
Sorry if I got this wrong, but it doesn’t seem right to me… 🧐
Not if he can use taxpayer monies!
MAGA is corruption!
MAGA is theft.
MEGA is authoritarianism used to take from the many to give to the few.

We The People, the Media, & our Elected Officials MUST NOT NORMALIZE any of this.
Donald and his cast of #SadisticZombies are destroying America 🇺🇸
#ToppleTrump
“Show the Trump with flags”
“More flags!”
“Extreme flag numbers!”
“Final form flags!!!”
Actually, now I want to see that lol.
There are simply not enough
Was JD in charge during the crypto scam dinner?
Shouldn't it have been tours of Mar A Lago?
Schrödinger's kleptocracy.
And maybe a crime, but certainly not protocol.
He's a grifter.
So I vote personal.
He, family and buddies will suck the life out of the US!
There’s only one m in sumo too - please rewrite 100x 🤨
So yeah - “the top” is a noun and I’m now in self imposed detention 😂😂🫡
And the replies would be?
