Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?

Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Marco Rubio: For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.” (2016)

Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.

The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.

It had fewer than 50 employees.

And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.

Here is the part the administration tried to bury.

Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.

One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.

Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.

A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.

This is public money. Your money.

Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.

And there is more coming.

A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.

This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

@BulwarkOnline I would love to hear him explain the ways Republicans have acted upon those "core principles". I won't hold my breath.

[William L. Phelan @wphelan82]

@beinlibertarian All Republicans are RINOs now. It's just a name. It stands for nothing.

[William L. Phelan @wphelan82]

@caveman2287 @jeffersonation1 Yes I am a RETARD. Thanks for asking.

I am Reluctantly Endorsing Those Against Rapist Dictators.

Also, to answer your other question, there would be gridlock, which would stop much of anything from happening. The House and Senate are just 1 of the 3 branches.

[William L. Phelan @wphelan82]

@lightblight1 @MLiamMcCollum Yes, RETARD.

Reluctantly Endorsing Those Against Rapist Dictators

[William L. Phelan @wphelan82]

@StealthQE4 I urge you to vote for whoever opposes Trump in the midterm. Wherher that's a Republican, Democrat, Independent, or 3rd Party. You don't do it because you support their policies. You do it to obstruct Trump and limit the damage he can do. Then start fresh in 2028.

[William L. Phelan @wphelan82]

@CanadaDevin @beatmastermatt The Trump thing is literally cult behavior in that it is tied directly to a person, and whatever he says is all the cult members care about. Principles, relationships, and critical thinking disappear because they are devoted to a leader. There is nothing like that on the left.

[William L. Phelan @wphelan82]

@beatmastermatt Is it collapsing?

[William L. Phelan @wphelan82]

@BrianFreed @MLiamMcCollum Clearly you don't understand. You vote Democrat knowing that Trump will still be president, but if you think he "sucks" then the only way to stop him is to vote Democrat. You have to think more than one step ahead.

[Julie Borowski @JulieBorowski]

Proud to endorse Ed Gallrein against Thomas Massie.

Massie keeps voting against trillion-dollar spending bills, foreign wars, and giving the federal government unlimited power.

I want a candidate who will put America second, raise the debt ceiling to infinity, and get us involved in every conflict on Earth.

[William L. Phelan @wphelan82]

@lightblight1 @MLiamMcCollum You could ask it the other way too. How could you support Massie and then vote for Trump or anyone he supports?

[William L. Phelan @wphelan82]

@BrianFreed @MLiamMcCollum You vote Democrat knowing Trump will still be president, and obstructing him is more important than anything. Voting Democrat doesn't mean you support those policies. It means you oppose this clusterfuck, corrupt cabal in charge right now. Limit the damage Trump can do.

[William L. Phelan @wphelan82]

@MLiamMcCollum If you support Massie you should 100% vote Democrat in the midterms. It has nothing to do with supporting Democrat policies and everything to do with opposing oligarchy, corruption, big government, wars, and pedophiles. If you can't get your guy you obstruct those in charge.

[Dave Smith @ComicDaveSmith]

If Massie loses tonight, he should run for President.

If Massie wins tonight, he should run for President.

[William L. Phelan @wphelan82]

@kdgt Congrats on keeping those Epstein files hidden. Congrats on more foreign wars. Congrats on big, bloated government, massive debt, and no checks or balances. You must be very proud indeed.
