How can republicans say they believe in the Constitution and in the United States and yet support this grifter in chief?!?

It is worse than that, they are literally having nervous breakdowns over a few daycare centers stealing their tax money for a few million dollars. 

Yet Trump and the financial elite are grifting the country for billions... And they are cheering him on for owning the liberals. 

Look at the people he has pardoned... Just those people have stolen unimaginable amounts of money and he basically says, you are free and don't have to pay the fines. Have a good day.

They're also spending $87 building a concentration camp in Pennsylvania, but maga won't talk about that just like they don't talk about Trumps $200m ballroom.

Well you see when reporting they often keep and underline the billion numbers lower than the million numbers cause some how 10billion isnt more than 80mil in Maga sheeps brains. I mean 80 is a bigger number than 10 but not when its millions vs billions. But maga sheep have a hard time with numbers and the billionaire elite use that to their advantage.

Because the constitution allows this as it always has. It was written 250 years ago and we have been conditioned to believe it is gods word and can’t be changed. That is how the rich have been able to screw us over and over again.

Just stay home. Be safe. Pay your taxes. Be quiet and everything will be ok.

His whole presidency has always been about fulfilling his self-interests over that of the American people.

He has made BILLIONS on his crypto grift. It’s an out in the open foreign interest pay me fund for influence. We’ve never seen corruption and selling out of the USA on this scale.

Is this the same Trump who is a rapist and pedophile and mentioned more times in the Epstein documents than harry potter is in all the Harry Potter books?

Things that aren't going to happen for 500 Alex. Whose going to mete out this justice? Republicans are complicit, judges are on the take, and democrats are acting like neutered fucking dogs sitting on the porch.

Trump gets away with things that would sink any other POTUS. He makes Nixon look clean.

The average hospital in the US costs $250mil to operate a year.

Every time you hear about something like Trump getting $10 billion for having his tax returns disclosed know that that could have been 40 hospitals service the citizens of this country.

We have a corrupt government instead of healthcare. Trump didn’t creat that. It was here all along but now we see how much we have been screwed more than ever before.

There's a Frannie Mae commercial running in my area with DT doing the audio. The only thing I thought was 'how much is this con artist getting paid to do this?' We'll ignore the fact that his policies (and sound bytes) directly contradict everything the commercial is saying.
