What is that saying about fools parting with their money?

You would have to pay me a damn sight more than a million dollars to be near that smelly oaf🤢

If ever there was proof of the need to #TaxTheRich... if they have this kind of money for such purposes, they have too much money...

Further proof that the rich don’t get rich on merit or intelligence…

And its going into his back pocket no doubt.

andymac.amlm.us•4 days ago

WHY!?!?!?!?! He's an asshole, pure and simple. I wouldn't want to be in the same building with him let alone at the same table.

I'm not particularly happy with being in the same country.

katyler88.bsky.social•4 days ago

Rich people have too much money if they are paying $1M to meet with Trump. Tax their asses and give me back my park rangers, FAA, cancer research, CDC….etc!!!!

arrise.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hmm okay well I can’t afford that… how much time can I get alone with him for $73.46? I don’t need much.

coffeelazarus.bsky.social•4 days ago

I have no problem of fools separating themselves from their money.

I never imagined that our American culture was producing so much human garbage.

Someone needs to find a way to get in on this and do recon.

ofiranet.bsky.social•4 days ago

When we finally toss this MF disaster of a human being behind bars, we need to claw back every stolen penny!

mathof.bsky.social•4 days ago

Is that legal?

ssmariana.bsky.social•4 days ago

Most people who work in corporate jobs are not allowed to receive gifts of more than $25, if any at all. I can imagine that something similar applies to POTUS. And that's exactly why he wanted to become president: To charge "admission" to his FL home and make more money. He should be impeached.

charlie62.bsky.social•4 days ago

The corruption is out in the open.

richjvann.bsky.social•4 days ago

It should come as no surprise that Trump worships and serves Putin, the world’s most powerful oligarch (currently…)

richjvann.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yay! Oligarchy!!

janp55.bsky.social•4 days ago

Surely it is against the American constitution to make profit from your role. Particularly as president. But as Trump regularly shows he flouts all rules & regs and uses his post to make massive personal commercial gain. Lacks any scruples or decency Happily raids Medicare etc

janp55.bsky.social•4 days ago

Trump prostitutes himself. Seems about right for him

harrycovert.bsky.social•4 days ago

An investment, no doubt.

anbrittstengele.bsky.social•4 days ago

The “Candlelight Supper”. Anyone who has watched Keeping Up Appearances on BBC will find that name they chose for this to be funny and ironic and maybe kinda an insult to the suckers paying this.

agosteen.bsky.social•4 days ago

But don’t dare call it a bribe cuz, you know, SCOTUS said meetings with “business leaders” are presidential duties.

brienmcmullen.bsky.social•4 days ago

This alone is grounds for impeachment.
He's openly accepting bribes.
It may be true the legal justice system can't stop him, but that power is clearly given to Congress.

nillao.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is what happens when criminals are given power. If we ever get out of this continuing criminal enterprises can we please reconsider election laws?

Grifter in chief until he gets thrown out and then he will play the victim to stay relevant.

neurospark.bsky.social•4 days ago

He’s courting his own demise.

don-from-oz.bsky.social•4 days ago

Dine with the President, one on one, for the low price of $1 million. But wait, there's more! For an additional $4 million, I'll throw in a Gold Card citizenship. What a deal!

Can I use my office for financial gain, Probably not, and honestly, who cares? As I am King Donald. Google it!

bradpatrick.bsky.social•4 days ago

How much for a night in the Lincoln Bedroom? Is there a price list?

brewskii2117.bsky.social•4 days ago

There all paying their "cut" to the boss.

brandogarcia.bsky.social•4 days ago

So bribery is so legal now that he can do it in the open. We’re a banana republic than can’t even afford bananas.

dampel.bsky.social•4 days ago

You can bet that when paying such prices, they do expect their voices to be heard.

magoo1959.bsky.social•4 days ago

Government by pay for play! I’m disgusted.

hazymoon14.bsky.social•4 days ago

Shouldn’t the money go into the treasury? He’s acting in his official capacity as Pres so he should not be profiting himself.

gazzell-1925.bsky.social•4 days ago

He shouldn't be doing a lot of things...but here we are.

hazymoon14.bsky.social•4 days ago

True that

reecie62.bsky.social•4 days ago

Trump is always on the grift.

jesus-strand.bsky.social•4 days ago

Heritage Foundation and its members are the entrenched evil and fake Christian’s doing the dirty work for Trump while he rapes and pillages and steals as much as he can daily. It’s the ultimate smash and grab. Americans need to hold Heritage Foundation, Voight and Robert’s first handedly accountable

skowalchuk.bsky.social•4 days ago

Anything to make a buck.

grammasuebe.bsky.social•4 days ago

Why? He’s an idiot he’s ruining this country he’s out for himself and his goonies

jdbatts79.bsky.social•4 days ago

It’s so funny that there’s basically no one in that community taking the free money hedge bet on Trump completely crashing and burning. They are just all in on the sundowning dude with terrible economic ideas being successful and giving them a seat at the table

Need a photojournalist there to document every. fucking. one. of them that shows up.

Trump is Felon and a Traitor! Everyone please report him & his Administration to any and every organization you can! He is openly acting to the benefit of Russia and destroying the United States government! Do more than just post, report and fight! He is a threat to more than Americans!

Presidency bought and sold. The American People don’t fit into his world. He needs to be removed from office.

maybe tomorrow morning, after what is sure to be the most insane SOTU ever, 20 GOP congresspeople will do the right thing, and begin impeachment proceedings. probably not, but maybe.

Weird how a Russian-controlled politician wants to do things like they do in Russia. 🤔

sneakinup.bsky.social•4 days ago

America is for sale. It'll be bankrupt soon, so they won't get much for their money.

He's an entrepreneur.
He makes business work for him.
He knows the market.
Cheap at twice the price!
It's all about who you know.
