It's easy to bankrupt a casino when it's entire purpose is a facade for Russian oligarch money laundering. Why do you think the new capital is mar a lago right in the middle of little Moscow Florida?

The USFL won the collusion case against the NFL and got a one dollar payout. Trump screwed all the other USFL owners so hard that the NFL should have made sure that he could buy an NFL team as a thank you payment.
He's the one who came up with the bright idea to drop the spring schedule and go to the fall and go head to head against the NFL too.

So what did he sell them? What change were they looking for?
They voted for him knowing he might be the most successful failing upwards case they’ve ever seen.
This statement of steak football and casinos is wild. He couldn’t sell America to America yet they wanted change. I think they may find out the grass isn’t always greener.

The secret 🤐 is the government spending is about 80% “military” spending like Air Force,army navy coastguard, nasa fbi cia homeland security defense contractors and debt 💸 from wars we never payed for the rest is social security Medicare Medicaid that’s it, Elon is cutting the 5% lol 😂 he is going to save a trillion dollars 💸 bullshit it’s only billions he can cut !!!
The “federal government” used to spend less on military like 50% less and payed for locals school 🏫 Payed for Highways 🛣, rail roads, bridges 🌉, house crazy/homeless 😜 , but republicans cut the budget,
Town taxes used to never go up it stayed the same because federal government payed for local school 🏫 but Reagan economic was cut program and increase military spending, don’t forget taxes cuts for rich 🤑 the rich have gotten there taxes lower 50 times In the last 90 years lol 😂 not joking 🙃

Not really. The war in Ukraine has cost Russia dearly, for very limited gains. Putin and his small elite may be winning (as in making their grip on power stronger), but the country and the people are losing. Russia needed all those billions for investment on the infrastructure and on its people, not wasted in a forever war in Eastern Ukraine. Through his actions, Putin is making Russia increasingly into China's satellite on the world stage.
It is not Putin that is beating America. America is killing itself.

Not really? Hitler did put a huge emphasis on the industrialization of Germany and didn't go to war on a whim, let alone unprepared. It was all part of a plan and he did take the necessary precautions and preparations. Fortunately, by the end he got greedy and betrayed the Russians before completing the fight on the western front. Who knows, otherwise he may have been victorious.
Trump is not even a fascist, he's just an oligarch with an ego so heavy is capable of engulfing black holes and the most brain rotted of morons down the path of self-destruction for the sole reason of inflating his image and status.
Hitler may have been FAR worse of a person, but even Hitler was a far better politician and public administrator.

We classify Hitler & Donald Trump the same in forensic psychology; they’re Malignant Narcissistic psychopaths. Both exhibit the extreme narcissism, excitatory-sadism, paranoia, grandiose delusions, manic episodes, hyper-aggressive; their a rare breed of psychology & typically if their not rich & insulated, they become serial killers or death/sex-cult leaders (if not both). It’s theorized that Nero, Caligula, Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin, Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, Dean Corral; all had this criminality type.

Now they don’t seem to care about rising prices do they? What I hear from those who voted for Trump, we need to tighten our belts. All of a sudden, inflation doesn’t matter.
It never was about the economy. It’s all about “owning the libs”. It’s dumbfounding how even for those who can barely get by, “owning the libs” is more important than putting food on their tables.
