FAIR AND LOATHING

[Acyn @Acyn]

Psaki: Now, in order to put on this celebration, Trump is using $68 million of taxpayer money. At least some of that money is being paid to a company called Event Strategies Incorporated. It's run by a group of Trump allies. We don't know how responsible they are for the 68 million of your tax dollars going towards this event. But so far, that money has paid for a janky ferris wheel plagued by power outages, a couple of tents with chairs in them, a temu version of Trump's planned arch, which appears to be falling apart and seems like it's being held together with a slapdash sealant job and, of course, some bizarre entertainment, half of which seems to just be Trump officials sitting on stage, basically filling the time. So how much of that $68 million actually went to the state fair, and how much to Event Strategies Incorporated did they get to keep for themselves?

Notice anything?

[Keith Edwards @keithedwards]

Wow they just added a second flag

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: CNN just aired a devastating montage of all the times that Donald Trump accused others of using their public office to make money. Donald Trump's net worth has almost tripled since he took office. Everything he accuses others of is an open admission.

Now this is how you respond to bigotry

[Chris Mowrey @chrisdmowrey]

If you invested $10,000 in Trump coin on January 20th, 2025, it would be worth $415 today.

You lost everything. He made half a billion.

LMAO! 😂😂😂😂

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

Damn communists...

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

To everyone celebrating the first flight on Qatar Force One today, understand what you are actually applauding.

A foreign government handed the sitting President of the United States a $400 million plane. American taxpayers then paid to retrofit it, with an estimated cost of at least another $400 million (some estimates far higher), for security and communications work in a Texas hangar since last September.

When Trump leaves office, the plane does not stay with the government. Ownership transfers to his presidential library foundation. In other words, he keeps it.

You are being asked to treat pure corruption as normal, to shrug at a President personally profiting from a foreign gift the taxpayers paid to upgrade.

In any other administration this would be the scandal that ends a presidency.

With Trump, it’s Wednesday.

Another day, another round of headlines about Trump's unprecedented corruption.

And this is just the stuff there's reporting about.

[Critter @asclepiasyriaca]

The President of the United States has to pay 5 million dollars because he jammed his fingers in a women's vagina against her will, just like he famously bragged about doing.

In a sane county, his Ivanka lookalike "aide" would be typing up his letter of resignation.

[Alice Williams @afreegirlll]

Trump's State Fair is so empty, you'd think it was a JD Vance rally. 🤣

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Why can't Trump clean a pool, or throw a real 250th party?

It's not (just) incompetence. It's also corruption.

[Blue Georgia @BlueGeorgia]

John Oliver mocked Jesse Watters for pushing Trump's Reflecting Pool sabotage conspiracy by airing footage he admitted hadn't been verified and didn't prove a crime.

Watters: They'll probably tell you they dropped their wedding ring.

Oliver: Maybe they dropped their wedding ring after leaving their wife for a 25-year-old coworker.

Dear Donald,
So sorry your state fair was a bust.

As was your "freedom 250" concert.

And your "squeeky tank" military parade last year.

Along with the Melania movie.

And your LIV golf tournament.

And all of your recent rallies.

But rest assured...your funeral will be lit!

[Acyn @Acyn]

Biden: The reflecting pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration. It’s the corruption. The corruption. The brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.

Trump has made billions of dollars since returning to the White House. Simply stunning to me.

He has no shame. Frankly, it’s embarrassing for the country. Trump couldn’t care less.

Making money off the presidency is one of the reasons he wants to be president
