Trump has never let facts stand in the way of living his life his way.
Or personal boundaries.
Or laws.

This is what conservative rural America has wanted for a long time. I truly believe this is payback for every progressive step forward since Loving v. Virginia.
They were finally able to elect a POTUS to a second term unhinged enough to declare war on cities where progressive movements grow strong.

Now is a perfect opportunity for a PsyOp to goad both Trump and Musk into mutually-assured destruction online, Trump on TruthSocial and Musk on X. If it ruined both platforms, even better.

This general concept is not new. For the past 40 years, the first play on the GOP playbook is “accuse your opponent of that of which you are yourself guilty.”
Trump has only changed this to “accuse your opponent of behavior you plan to adopt and normalize.”

If those riches are from official acts, that’s the American people’s money, not his.
If those riches aren’t from official acts, it’s bribery, blackmail, and/or theft.

You forget all of the stock trades Trump encouraged earlier before retreating on tariffs. That may have been the whole ploy, a “pump-and-dump” scheme in reverse. The China part is likely Trump holding a grudge past the exit plan, not realizing the harm. Or not caring. Probably both.

This is the Chicago-born Pope retweeting the current Cardinal of Chicago taking a stand for people who deserve our charity and grace. I’m not Catholic, but this still makes me so happy to be a Chicagoan.
