Schools in Black neighborhoods get shut down for "low performance," but when you look closer, they had no funding, no teachers, and textbooks from 1997. Then they call it a failure of the students, not the system. Defund it, watch it collapse, blame the kids. Repeat.
Why shouldn't he? His net worth has more than doubled since Trump's 2nd term began, and in June he became the first trillionaire in human history.
Scale his net worth down to $1,000. His $800,000 in PAC spending is 0.09 cents. Less than a tenth of a penny and they don't even make pennies anymore.
This is exactly why Citizens United needs to be overturned, so bribing and buying politicians is illegal again.
Has any president in 250 years:
-Built a monument to himself while in office?
-Put his own face on money?
-Complained about voter fraud?
No. Never. Not even once. The only one who did, is himself a fraud.
@RonFilipkowski Exactly right.
And long after Trump is gone, the stench of their cowardice will linger for years. Especially if the damage Trump has done to the U.S.‘s global standing has lasting consequences.
Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.
@JenniferJJacobs@bterris Daddy is having “more fun building this ballroom than I can possibly tell you.”
Daddy is supposed to be RUNNING THE COUNTRY not working on insanity projects.
@JenniferJJacobs@bterris We’re in a war that’s claimed hundreds of innocent Iranians and 18 of our heroic service members.
But that’s ok, because the draft dodger who is responsible for their deaths is having “fun”, building a goddamn ballroom.
These are not vanity projects. That’s being too nice. These are insanity projects. It’s insane that he’s building these gaudy monstrosities and it’s insane that this country’s GOP leaders don’t have the spine to stop him from defacing our nation’s capital. Stop the insanity!
@marlene4719 I’m shocked that his approval rating is in the 30’s. The usual loyal maga base. Why are they still loyal when he absolutely doesn’t care about the lives of Americans.
Trump’s 250-foot vanity arch still lacks final approval, yet his administration is preparing to break ground and tear into public lands at the gateway to Arlington Cemetery.
Sierra Club is committed to stopping it.
@BadAss6360 The Republican Congress is "why" he does whatever he wants. We elected them to stand up and and correct him when he's leading us to a path of destruction.
Instead, they refuse to stop him.
.@SpeakerJohnson must be vacated.
