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 young man, barely more than a boy, completed the bagging of my provisions. Then he reached for them again, though I had already taken hold.
He was sixteen. In an apron. Smiling. "I got it, sir."
He gripped my bags. I gripped my bags. In Japan, a man carries his own burden — this is the spine of a man, it is not negotiable. I pulled. He pulled. Gently. With the unstoppable leverage of POLICY.
"It's literally my job, sir."
Do you see the cruelty of this country? He weaponized his duty against my honor. Release the bags: I am a man who lets boys carry his rice. Hold the bags: I am a man who denies a boy his sworn office. There is no winning move. America has built a politeness trap with no exit and staffed it with teenagers.
I lost. Record it. I lost a battle of honor to a sixteen-year-old with a name tag, and he did not know we were fighting. He carried my bags to the car talking about the weather.
His name tag said KYLE.
A man who loses to Kyle must study Kyle. So I have. Kyle has carried my groceries four times now. Kyle says "no worries" to every one of my objections, which is somehow a complete defense to all of them. Kyle is sixteen and has never once lost the bag battle, to anyone, in two years of service.
Undefeated. In my country he would have a banner and a war name.
So I have restructured the campaign. Kyle carries the bags. I guard the cart. Afterward, I return the cart to the corral — a duty I assigned myself, which Kyle calls "honestly a huge help."
A man does not ask the trap to open. He only becomes useful inside it.
We are a unit now. I praise him loudly to his manager every visit. Kyle pretends to be embarrassed. Kyle is not embarrassed.
Hear me, America: if you wish to know a nation's future, look at who it sends to carry things.
Yours sent Kyle. You will be fine.
The world is on edge today because of this fucking moron. He’s a felon, a rapist, a pedophile now threatening to wipe out a civilization.
A special “FUCK YOU” to his enablers and the 77 million who looked at this ignoramus and said, “Yep, that’s our guy.”
If trump had just left the JCPOA in place, 13 American soldiers would still be alive, the Strait of Hormuz would still be open, and gas prices wouldn't be over $4 per gallon now.
What a fucking moron.
Thanks to trump, prices will not be coming back down to pre-war levels this year, next year, and possibly not ever again.
I will never forgive you selfish assholes for voting for trump. We fucking warned you.
