A lengthy investigation from The New Yorker estimates Trump and his family will have enriched themselves by more than $3.4 billion by the end of his second term, much of it from deals, transactions, and investments that almost certainly wouldn’t have happened if he’d never been president.

That’s $100 stolen from every single American in the country
From every kid, from every grandma, from every person in hospital
Okay, but consider that 20% of those children and grandparents and hospitalized people may have voted for him. So actually its good that the country is getting looted, because a plutocrat enriching himself off the deluded and uneducated plebs is Karmic Justice.
Now the Liberal Party can kick back its heels and announce “You stupid idiots, you wouldn’t be suffering if you’d supported us.” And they’ll win in a landslide and take over the mechanisms for self-enrichment and brag about how they triumphed over fascism. Or maybe they won’t win, at which point, they can justify the misery of their constituents for another two years.
Okay, but consider that 20% of those children…may have voted for him
I mean…they quite literally didn’t on account of, y’know, they’re children
If they didn’t vote, that’s just as bad as voting for Trump.
Or so I’ve been told.
That was his only reason to get into the White House.
Well, also protection from prosecution.
Are we still sold on the theory that a billionaire ex-President was finally going to get his come-uppence via a state court campaign finance law conviction, when the judge deliberately dragged out the sentencing until after the polls closed?
Or are we holding out on Kamala Harris being tougher on Trump than Clinton was on Reagan or Bush was on Clinton or Obama was on Bush or Trump was on Obama/Hillary or Biden was on Trump 41?
The special counsel had finally moved forward with prosecuting right before the election. There was going to be a federal trial. That all got dropped when he won.
Trump’s been doing crimes since the 1980s and skated every time. You are deluding yourself if you believe a special counsel was going to finally do its job, the day after Trump returned to political irrelevance.
Not when everyone from Guliani to Comey to Garland had dragged their heels for 40 years.
The thing is, we don’t know. The evidence was clear as day.
Indeed also that.
Does that count the $2 billion that Jared got from the Saudis? I feel like 3.4 billion is very underestimated.
Check the other article - it doesn’t count all the crypto holdings Trump has that are worth over 11 billion or there abouts. post link:https://lemmy.world/post/34308185
That article cited like 15.9 billion including cryptocurrency. I am sure it is even more than this.
Why are criminals running our country again…
There are no rules keeping a serial pedophile, rapist, fraudster, bankrupter from becoming President?
Release the Trump/Epstein files
First thing we do after the purge is nationalize every asset owned by Trump, his family, and co-conspirators, then we divy up checks for all citizens, and put the rest aside for all the lawsuits the country will have to pay out because of Trump.
If we can keep Trump alive, it would be fun to remove as much of his skin as we can while still keeping him alive, then force him to do shitty manual labor until he dies. In his last agonizing Moments we can give him a bath in brake fluid and rock salt.
Dr. Fistington, how many doses of this treatment would you recommend daily and should he be taking it with water?

Oh yay, slavery and torture for our enemies, that will fix everything.
Ehrm. That’s reactionary, not revolutionary. Not even funny, really.
Good luck controlling the population if they ever get their hands on the dude. I’ve never seen these levels of rage from American citizens about anyone before. There can easily be a point where he’s not safe anywhere.
It’s fucking hot is what it is.
Fuck, he really is winning
And no one will see the inside of a prison cell for this.
Hey, guys, feeling great yet? I mean from my point of view of looking from the outside in then you don’t look that great. Looks like a filthy paedo and his family are taking you all for a bunch of idiots and you’re doing fuck all about it.
I am filled with rage
Like this old dodard thinks he’s gonna take the money with him somehow.
Money doesn’t have an exchange rate in hell, pedo.
He has capitalism brain. All these sick fucks can think of is acquisition of more money at all costs.
Following in Putin’s footsteps. The filthy rich should have taken note:
“After Khodorkovsky’s conviction, the other oligarchs went to Putin and asked him what they needed to do to avoid sitting in the same cage as Khodorkovsky. From what followed, it appeared that Putin’s answer was, “50%” He wasn’t saying 50% for the Russian government or the presidential administration of Russia, but 50% for Vladimir Putin personally.”
Yup. All these rich fucks giving him gold bars don’t realize that’s just the entry fee. He is going to demand more and more until he owns them.
