I don't think the term against the law will apply anymore.

Donald Trump “ReTruthed” his prepresidential crypto post yesterday — presumably from the White House.

So yeah, never.

The timid framing of “evidence suggests” is bullshit. This is from the supposed “liberal” outlet & even they’re terrified to just state a fact as a fact. There is no liberal media.

treebeemo.bsky.social•41 days ago

Yup. It all tilts in favor of billionaires. Capitalism kills.

"I'm sure he's learned his lesson". Right, Susan?

Trump said we'll never have to vote again, remember? He said "in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have it fixed so good, you're not gonna have to vote", and he repeated this sentiment more than once before the election. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-tells-christians-they-wont-have-vote-after-this-election-2024-07-27/

move susan collins closer so trump can for sure see her finger wagging

cagirlinsf.bsky.social•41 days ago

He’ll keep going until someone stops him or it ceases to be profitable.

drekarbt.bsky.social•40 days ago

Why wouldn’t he? “Emoluments “ is simply ink scratching on some old parchment

voyageurs59.bsky.social•41 days ago

He's consistent, that's for sure! Why stop now? There's so much more $$$ to make. The SCOTUS and the GOP have allowed this.

quin664.bsky.social•41 days ago

Is there really a question about this? Grifters will grift. It's in their basic DNA. And now the Rump has a new grift: his meme coins. The funny part here is that crypto world is now afraid that his grift will expose their grift. Bring on the popcorn.

thenewbee.bsky.social•41 days ago

I think there's one thing that will stop him.

Lawless President despicable

treebeemo.bsky.social•41 days ago

I’m glad that you recognize he will do away with term limits. Because he will. Expect a rigged 2028 election. In fact we may be under a (manufactured) national crisis at that time, and ppl (media run by billionaires) will “beg” the dictator to stay in power to save us.

jaderydererhard.bsky.social•41 days ago

As many of us expected from last term. However he now has new ways (meme coin, for example) for the grift to occur

truthmatter1936.bsky.social•41 days ago

Why would he ever stop? The grift is the whole show.

bezoar.bsky.social•41 days ago

The reporter asked the right question, but we all knew the answer long before today: he'll grift basically whenever and however he can.

The news media should stop pretending otherwise.

trpackman.bsky.social•41 days ago

I know which one I'd bet on....

shawndra.bsky.social•41 days ago

Still don’t understand how he gets away with this. Could you imagine if this had been Obama.

treebeemo.bsky.social•41 days ago

What is impossible with billionaires? Nothing.

siouxmac.bsky.social•41 days ago

“Evidence *suggests*”??

grouchysmurf.bsky.social•41 days ago

My bet is on never.

bettykitty.bsky.social•41 days ago

I wish I could keep his face off of my site. I was hoping Bluestky would not allow it.

rpaternoster.bsky.social•41 days ago

With his personality construct, it is never enough.

unclefuzzzy.bsky.social•41 days ago

Who’s going to stop him?

perspicio-oic.bsky.social•41 days ago

"early evidence" 🙄 can everybody please catch up

apocalypto62.bsky.social•41 days ago

As long as he has reich wing oligarch controlled media, like FOX, CNN, OAN, RSBN, Newsmax, Sinclair, etc carrying his water things will only get worse.
The Murdochs were allowed to poison America without any real penalty.
Jail time - not shitty fines.

veryrecent1.bsky.social•41 days ago

Was there any doubt?

mjhop.bsky.social•41 days ago

This is not even a question. He never stopped grifting during his first term in office...by overcharging the government for the Secret Service to stay at his hotels...and so on. Why would he stop grifting during his second term in office? Swindling is a way of life for him.

lulu4nu.bsky.social•41 days ago

That’s why he wanted back in to get rich again off the tax payers. 🤬

courageousgirl2.bsky.social•40 days ago

That’s why he’s there! To GRIFT

rawveggies.bsky.social•41 days ago

Or after he dies.

djmdtrump.bsky.social•41 days ago

The simple truth is Trump wants the United States to be a subsidiary of the Trump Organization. He wants it all.

lulu4nu.bsky.social•41 days ago

That’s what I told my husband. He thinks he’s the CEO of the US and he’s the boss!!! He’s not ‘we the people are!’ It’s sad that his cult didn’t listen to the warnings.
