I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I know @realDonaldTrump and family did.
250 years ago we declared independence from a king who ran the colonies as a family business. In just 18 months the Trumps have made King George look like an amateur.
A $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest in the program’s history, to a company Don Jr.’s firm bought into three months before.
An Air Force drone contract to a startup the princelings took public through a golf course company they own a piece of.
The Army’s largest drone motor order ever, to a company where Don Jr. sits on the board and holds millions in stock.
A $24 million Pentagon robotics contract to the company that employs Eric as Chief Strategy Advisor.
A stake in the largest undeveloped tungsten deposit on earth, in Kazakhstan, backed by $1.6 billion in US government support.
Jared’s fund seeded with $2 billion from the Saudi crown prince, now $6.2 billion, 99% of it foreign money from Gulf governments. Over $110 million in fees collected from the Saudis alone. He negotiates American foreign policy with the governments that pay him.
$2.3 billion from crypto ventures their father regulates. More than a million people bought in and lost $2.3 billion. The money didn’t grow. It simply moved from the subjects pockets to the crown’s coffers.
And the next one is already drafted. A proposed ATF rule that will allow guns to be shipped straight to your front door. The government’s own estimate is 3.3 million home gun deliveries a year. Don Jr. sits on the board of the online gun megastore built to cash in. He holds 300,000 shares.
And that’s only the fraction they’ve allowed us to see. Not one subpoena served. Not one search executed. Why hide anything when you own the investigators?
Me? They searched a laptop for six years. Federal prosecutors. Grand juries. Subpoena power. Congressional hearings. They found nothing. I made about $200k a year selling paintings when my Dad was President, and they made my paintings part of an impeachment inquiry.
For six years they’ve asked Where’s Hunter? What about the laptop?
Wrong questions. The right one is 250 years old. Does America belong to a family?
They’ve given their answer. Long live the King.
A message to all sane Republicans:
He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.
He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.
He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.
He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.
He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.
His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.
He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.
His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.
He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.
He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.
It’s time to start talking.
Holy shit. A clip of Trump fast asleep and about to fall out of his chair when he was among world leaders is going viral.
This is absolutely humiliating on the world stage. Trump does not have the stamina to remain president.
Trump fell asleep with his face drooping in the Oval Office during a meeting today. This is a real video that should concern every American. He’s not fit to serve.
Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law.
I would know because I wrote the law.
Incoming presidents are required to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement.
This is what illegal corruption looks like. https://t.co/JJjJ59DgB5
Unfortunately the media barely covered the significant accomplishments of the Biden Administration and long term investment in our infrastructure and economy. Like those of the New Deal, some will be noticed later. No doubt Trump will take credit for these just as Republicans in Congress did for improvement programs they voted against. Hypocrisy.
First president in 28 years to not serve a second term.
First president in 45 years not to release any of his tax returns.
First president in 89 years to lose the presidency, the House and the Senate in a single term.
First president in 102 years to allow more than 120,000 Americans to die in a single virus outbreak.
First president in 129 years to lose the popular vote twice.
First president in 152 years to boycott his successors inauguration.
First president ever to fail to hit a 50% approval rating at any point during their presidency.
First president ever to be elected with the help of a foreign nation.
First president ever to be impeached twice.
First president ever to have a member of their own party vote for conviction in an impeachment trial.
First president ever to have an arrest warrant issued against him by a foreign nation.
First president ever to refuse to concede defeat.
First president to be banned from social media.
First president to refuse to ensure the peaceful transfer of power.
First president to have their home searched for official national security documents.
First former president found liable of sexual abuse, defamation & business fraud.
First former president criminally indicted (also the second, third and fourth).
First former president with a mugshot.
First former president to await a jury’s verdict as the defendant in a criminal trial.
So many firsts, so much winning.
He must be sick of it.

@jerubot I can’t stand the guy for too many reasons to even say on here. Let’s be real with the right side anything other than straight is an issue to discuss.
