If this is his personal time, then he can be impeached and indicted for corruption. Did he have to rent the White House for the day as a citizen, normally the White House is only for the President's use.
Wait a minute! Did the President's press secretary just admit that Trump's appearance at the "Crypto Dinner" was not within the scope of his duties? Because if so, he can be charged with an illegal act when he leaves office.
Well, the podium he used had the Presidential Seal on it, so it WAS an 'official' function afterall, or we could push the 'own time' story and show he committed a crime NOT while doing his presidential duties and NAIL his ass and off to prison, because he wouldn't have immunity then.
This year reminds me so much of that chapter in the Satyricon where the Roman noble leaves his fortune to his toadies… but only if they eat his corpse.
Perhaps it isn't surprising that attendees said he didn't engage them long enough to even find out what they wanted to say. It was purely about taking their money, giving them dinner and sending them home.
True, but he hides behind 'Presidential' immunity AND 'Private time' all the time anyway and though people with a brain see the scam, the media doesn't and the Republicans don't care
Following Leavitt's accidental truth that Trump is holding his dinner-and-a-grift meme coin event on his personal time, Trump's folks must have scrambled to slap the Regime Shield on the podium to restate this as an official event, all to ensure being covered by the Supreme's official acts ruling
There is no second of no minute of no hour of no day when The President of The United States is not the The President of The United States unless or until he is removed from office.
Yes, George, it's probably his warm charm and eloquence that has persuaded these people to attend and pay him millions, solely on the strength of their love for him and they certainly wouldn't expect anything in return.
An arm band with “traitor” to be worn at all times would be a cute touch. We can make it match his tie that’s worn to distract from his huge ponch. He will definitely not look good in horizontal stripes
And that means Donnie has no presidential immunity with his own personal time off ha ha they can get your guest list as well 😜 a president is always the president 24 hours a day
So Trump, during his time off as President, ceded his authority as per 25th amdt to the Vice President, then resumed after his "time off" at his grift-a-thon?
I think Trump might be in a bit of trouble. He has immunity being president but doesn’t by using his own time. This is not covered at all. So making deals on his own time makes it criminal.
Ah, I'm sure the top buyers of his meme coin are just thrilled to be part of his 'great person' fan club. Meanwhile, AI is busy calculating the probability of a White House scam, and I'm over here wondering if Elon's next big thing will be a cryptocurrency-backed toaster
POTUS is a full time occupation there is no personal time. He has to be made aware of any situation arising at all times. At this 'private function' behind the Presidential seal the secret service will have been there plus all of the necessary communications so the guest list should be made public
Stupid Trunt, he used the Presidential Seal on his lectern. Hey, WH press corps? Get up and walk the fuck out if she pulls this shit. She's never said anything truthful YET!
Just gotta wait for the midterms and hope that reason wins out over political alliance. Even the more centrist republicans can't approve of this shit show. For blue for a safe democratic Republic. Vote red for authoritarian dictatorship
Hold onto that faith, support those working towards election of the right people, keep expressing concerns and ideas here…it all helps. And remember: there are many of us.
#AltCitizen
There will be midterms. They’re not there yet and not doing any of the things they’d need to if that was a plan.
I think it’s also important to remember there is a baseline for interference and suppression that’s already pretty high but not always effective. See the recent NC court vote.
The gerrymandering by Republicans is extreme. They don't need to remove people from the voter roll if there isn't enough places to vote at in places that aren't full of rich white people
I have faith that midterms will happen, I have far less faith in centrist Republicans or democrats actually doing anything. We’ve been waiting for centrists to revolt since 2016.
2016 was a test run, 2025 is full blown autocracy. I have little faith in the octogenarians in power to do anything against their own self interest. The establishment Democrats might as well just wear red
He's made insider trading legal for those that support him. And I'm sure there is an offshore account in the Caymans or something where they all have to send a % of all gains for his personal gain
Yep. I was going to say exactly that. He doesn't need that technical legal immunity now that there's no-one left with both the authority and the will to hold him to account.
He has been that way his entire life, he has no friends, he has nobody who truly loves him or respects him, it has always been about what they can profit from him. What a horrible way to live. The NAZI is the exact same. White trash gone wild
It's all about "pay to play" in Trump's administration. The Middle East countries and lavish gifts, paying to visit with the President at Mar a Lago, countries, billionaires buying into his crypto.
Later, he won't be able to hide behind SCOTUS's "Official Act" nonsense in their heinous ruling last year, if indeed, as Bondi said, this is "private." Like Martha Stewart did, they are all eventually going to find out...
Can we just stop having these? Good questions (sometimes), bad lies (always). I realize it is important to know what the mob is doing but I get a brain bleed everytime they open their mouths. Hopefully, this in-your- face criminality will aid in jail time. Lottsa jail time.
Imagine paying over a million to have dinner with that clod. Probably served kfc and coke. And bet he chews with his mouth open since he’s a notorious mouth breather due to a botched nose job.
So the press secretary has had the most dummied down press core in the history of this job. Under the Trump press cir, She literally just has to show up and spew lies for however long. She is never challenged with questions. So why does she always look so pissed off?
the President doesn't have 'personal time' with foreign investors. The corruption is blatant, and if you support him, you're either okay with your country being sold, or a special kind of stupid.
Ever dinner the president eats is a white house dinner. They could be eating cold kfc straight out of the fridge at 1 am and thats still a white house dinner
Presidential seal - which he Still used during Biden's years - is Irrelevant red herring😜
As there was No "official act" component to that dinner, Potential for "Private Citizen" financial crimes such as Knowingly facilitating money laundering(?).
So if it wasn't a White House dinner/event, why was there a podium present with the Presidential Seal on it? She says it wasn't an 'official' event but the podium with the seal says it was.
Discuss amongst yourselves...
His lectern at the dinner included the Official Presidential Seal which, if this was a private event as they say, was in violation of the law and someone needs to be held accountable for this.
Last time I checked, and throughout 250 years of history, President of the United States was a 24/7/365 days a year job?? Personal time to sell out the country to foreign influence?? Most corrupt president ever!! #NotMyPresident #ConvictedFeloninChief #Krasnov #Donny2Dolls
There is no personal time when you are the Commander in Chief. C i n c is a 24-hour Duty which requires standards of behavior. That was all in a language he doesn't speak but
Personal enrichment. Pretty sure taxpayers are footing the bill for this extravaganza of corruption. I hope the wait staff pisses in the bouillabaisse and farts on the merangue.
Can you imagine being married to Karoline Leavitt? How could you ever trust someone whose job is to lie nonstop all day. She's also not much of a Christian. What's that commandment thing? Thou shall not bear false witness. Can you imagine being her child knowing your mother is a deceitful liar?
I don't know where her supposed Christianity came into this, but I would assume that like most MAGA fascists she's not so much Christian as she is a political christianist. For them, Christianity is both a cloak and a tool of control - but they have less than no interest in what Jesus actually said.
I was told that she really messed up by saying this. Apparently, presidential immunity only applies for things done during "on hours"? And by saying that this was done on "Trump Time", that the immunity doesn't apply, so he can be charged
You know, if they have money to throw away like that, they should be helping those children in Gaza who had their legs blown off. Send them a fund to live off of the rest of their life instead of
Literally flushing it down the toilet.
Can I just say I adore @garretthaake.bsky.social. He’s a wonderful journalist. I love his instantaneous fact checking. He knows his stuff. Watch out @terrymoranabc.bsky.social
When does he WORK? Golf, social media rants, crypto grifting. He seems to a lot of time on his hands. “YES, YOU ARE THE GREATEST- SIGN HERE FOR THE CAMERA, EAT YOUR KFC AND TWEET BEFORE YOUR NAP. YOU’RE HAWKING CRYPTO TONIGHT. BUSY DAY. VLAD SAYS ‘GOOD JOB’, YOU CAN HAVE AN OLD GOLD AIRPLANE.”
Hear tell the crypto bros, who exist on pure speculation, were disappointed when their investments yielded only a few minutes of rambling monologue instead of the one-on-one experience that was dangled in front of them.
Must have felt like buying into $TRUMP at the peak.
It’s absolutely sickening to watch these a’holes get away with all of this corruption, right in full view. Is ANYONE going to do anything about this?? It’s INSANE!
Comments
But the podium? 🤔
The names need to be released as this appears to be #OfficialPresidentialBusiness
Unfortunately, the president of the United States of America is on the exact opposite side of that spectrum.
That makes it a sanctioned presidential event, held by the most corrupt pos in American history
Is that what Leavitt meant?
#Resist #HeLies
Now how many crimes were committed at that event---bribery, emoluments, fraud, extortion??
Maybe can't get him now, but in four years? I want to see him behind bars!
Leavitt is a in10t!
Not being hyperbolic here. It's part of the job. President is a 24/7 position.
May that day come soon.
It sounds like you're agreeing with me.
“Conspiring with a foreign adversary…& enemies of the state…”
#USpol
Personal?
Not on our dollar.
He slathers himself in emoluments.
Her saying that opens up whatever happened at that dinner to impeachment and criminal conviction
#AltCitizen
I think it’s also important to remember there is a baseline for interference and suppression that’s already pretty high but not always effective. See the recent NC court vote.
A lot of people actually vote for this because they actually think it will work.
Look at the UK. Reform won’t need to cheat to win the next election. People will vote for them. 🤷♂️
I miss Jen Psaki at the podium . . . . a woman of integrity serving a PRESIDENT OF INTEGRITY.
Underneath all of it, he's a little boy who is mad no one will be his friend, when everyone else just makes friends for free.
b. he is enriching himself using the presidency.
In other words: he has become a dictator.
for HIMSELF
I'd love to see the chiropractors' bills after #BandidoAlito and #TipMeThomas get done giving Yambo immunity for that.

He is not on vacay at Mar-a-lago.
He is on *our* time.
