I'm not cynical enough to believe this country deserves this fraudulent buffoon, but I'm getting close.

SCOOP: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with President Donald Trump at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting.

can you get the invitation if you buy a bunch of his crypto coins and Truth Social stock?

It’s the wealthy and the uninformed.

The wealthy minority of donors who want to look at Trump while eating is not our best and brightest. I am fighting for the rest of us. #impeachtrump

Nah, the actions of the rich have nothing to do with the will of 99.9% of this country. The rich have no country, and the rich have no humanity.

Ok, maybe less than 99% if you count a few hundred thousand loser bootlicks who will defend the rich (for free)

Half of this country doesn’t even know or care about what’s going on.

Have their names been published? Have their business interests been declared? Transparency is needed. Those Americans willing to pay attention need to understand who the enablers are, and ensure that they are not unintentionally supporting companies that undermine democracy.

Most of the people don't. The elected officials however brought this on themselves.

it's like something out of storybook feudalism where people pay to have the emperor's ear and grace. what an absolute clownshow

It's like something straight out of 20 years ago in Russia. He's following the blueprint perfectly, so far. Hopefully, we have a fair election in 2028.

I think we are way past that. He’s been elected twice now.

Oh we absolutely deserve him. If we’re dumb enough to vote him in after Trump 1.0, COVID, Jan6, felony indictments and convictions, impeachments etc… what more do you need to see to say we deserve this?

Jesus, it's a bloody nightmare.. I am sorry for right thinking Americans. Still, this festering stinking wound is self inflicted..
And JD Vance is not winning many friends in the UK or Europe.
Most of whom came to Americas assistance after it enacted article 5...
The only country ever to do so.

studiogrodin.bsky.social•2 days ago

My conservative friends acted like I was hysterical. My leftist friends didn't vote and refused to unionize. Americans aren't serious people.

“Deserve’s got nothing to do with it.” He was elected by the people. This is who we are and unfortunately we all have to own it.

bsorohan.bsky.social•2 days ago

I suspect it's $10 million not to have to dine with him. Gladly paid, I might add.

I'm close as well.

I've gotten there. America voted in trump. America's got trump. It's how Democracy works, and tens of thousands of red voters will get to feel the consequences through their wallets and their slashed "benefits."

It's alright to feel hopeless sometimes. Not letting yourself feel that way would just make you feel worse.

I would love to see some sources on this and is this legal?

haha remember when we all looked up the word "emoluments" back in 2016?

vance.bsky.social•2 days ago

I get you and I'm a highly cynical bastard, but my constant reminder is that there's tons of people who don't deserve this. And despite my misanthropy, that's my inspiration to fight.

20thcenturyicon.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s the 1%. They internalized “greed is good” as a virtue instead of a critique. They really think stealing all the money, irrespective of the consequences to the nation and the world, is laudable, even heroic. Psychopaths.

Meanwhile people are dying all around the world for lack of clean water, food and basic healthcare. Absolutely sick.

markins613.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's all fraud, always has been in America.

Obama and Bill BOTH got Uber rich after being president. They sold out Americans just as much as Trump has...he's just more blatant. Sadly that is the only real difference

Imagine what non Americans are thinking.

They gave up on us years ago. We're a shithole country to the rest of the world.

Good music though.

Because of rich "Business Leaders" fucking us over? That's their default. We are in the Gilded Age Part Deux.

His cultist base isn't enough to get him elected. So, to the others who voted for him: Fool too many Americans once, shame on him. Fool even more Americans twice, shame on our country.

Everything is a monetary transaction. Everything is for sale. He wants to enrich himself constantly. Even our citizenship is for sale now and that is a crazy place to be in. They say money is the root of all evil. He is proof of that. You saw his golden idols right? 💔

Sycophants have unfortunately always existed. I wouldn't wish this jackanape on anyone. Imagine being his wife or kid? Omg the bubble you have to maintain.

attackofthetom.bsky.social•2 days ago

Brother, I wish I still had your starry eyed optimism that allows you to only be "getting close". I've long since passed that Rubicon.
