honestly that is surpisingly low considering how much he whores for it.

[–] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago

well he did manage to bankrupt a few casinos and we've all seen his writing...

[–] joekar1990@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

That's what we know of. Could be more behind the scenes that hasn't been discovered.

Yeah, incompetence is the limiting factor here. It's certainly not for lack of trying.

I’m shocked, SHOCKED….well not that shocked.

Funniest thing : he's so shite with money he's still broke despite this

What a cool dude gaming the systems. Fucking children, lying to morons, raping women, stealing billions, bringing back fascism. So cool. All with just such a tiny, weird little penis, caked in makeup, and dancing to WMCA. Totally normal, cool dude.

Oh look, another final straw

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

If I'd gotten a dollar for every final straw regarding the orange turd, I'd be a billionaire by now.

[–] Rhoeri@piefed.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Quick! Let’s all do nothing about it!

Literally the antithesis of everything our founding fathers worked (and bled) for.

This is what happens when you allow conservatives to have power.

[–] deifyed@lemmy.wtf 7 points 3 weeks ago

No. This is what happens when you allow too much economic distance between the rich and the poor

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

the founding fathers who led a revolution because their profits were getting impacted? who couldn't even agree that slavery was wrong?

I'm very sorry to break the news to you but Trump is not the antithesis of everything the founders worked for. A lot of them were very shitty people. The actual antithesis would be a left-wing populist.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

That system seems horrendously corrupt at the best of times, let alone when the orange turd is involved.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

He saw Putin's kleptocracy and imitated his hero.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Grifter gonna grift

Meh. One of the least heinous things he did.

Edit: downvote me all you want. With all the ridiculous stuff this despicable motherfucker has pulled I’m supposed to be surprised he also stole a couple billion dollars? Please.

Controversial: more than one thing can matter, particularly when said things are related af
