No president in modern history has used the office to enrich himself the way Donald Trump has. That's not a political opinion. It’s the conclusion of ethics watchdogs who have spent their careers watching this stuff.
The crypto ventures. The foreign deals with the Saudis, the Qataris, the Emiratis. The $400 million Qatari jet. The $90 million in media settlements. The gold golf balls from the Japanese.
This is the man who told you he was going to clean up Washington.
For this President, the presidency isn’t about protecting our democracy or the public trust. It’s about turning the highest office in the land into a personal cash register, and he’s been doing it from day one.
@FBIDirectorKash Holy shit how do debunk your own conspiracy theories and still pander to Maga dipshits who were there and say it wasnt them. Strong magic
@SpeakerJohnson Can I expect that you have a concept of a plan that you'll tease for the next 3ish years and never quite release? Cause that's all your party has done for 12 years. Fuck off
@TimKennedyMMA@SecWar I'm so late to this party...had all these stolen valor jokes but it's been done. F it..."then he punched the bear in the face and planted the flag on hitlers bunker, either way he's a hero."
I like sails, they're stealthy, big beautiful white sails, or even rows of slave powered oars, also stealthy. As long as the slaves don't make too much noise, and if they do you just toss them...right, wouldn't it be great. #HegsethSpeech#Trump
Trump to top US generals:
“I’m a very aesthetic person. I don't like some of the ships you are doing aesthetically. They say it is stealth. That's not stealth. An ugly ship is not necessary in order to say you are stealth”
@RpsAgainstTrump Holy S...I like sails, they're stealthy, no nose, ssils are great, or even rows of slave powered oars. Also stealthy if the slaves don't make too much noise.
@USArmy@USNavy@USMC@usairforce@USCG I'm sorry that you all had to sit through a terrible Varsity Blues pep talk that did nothing but dishonor your professionalism. The entire country thanks you for honoring your oath to serve THE PEOPLE. #HegsethSpeech#NoKings
Trump & Hegseth can rant all they want about turning the military against the American people.
But nothing changes this: service members swear an oath to the Constitution—not to politicians.
That’s the true warrior ethos. Every word from Milley here. 👇
@USArmy@USNavy@USMC@usairforce@USCG Thank you for your service and your professionalism. Please don't let a POG and a draft dodger dishonor your profession by turning you against the people you swore to defend and against the laws that govern warfare. #HegsethSpeech#Trump
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN
Kimmel’s comments were idiotic, but taking his show off the air is excessive. Is this not the same cancel culture mentality we’ve rallied against for the last several years? Is this not a violation of the free speech we hold so sacred?
Trump, in his inauguration speech:
“I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America.”
No, sorry, guys.
Enough with the excuses.
Using the FCC to go after your political opponents is thug behavior and a sane Congress wouldn't put up with it.
