    Actually he isn’t allowed to run charities anymore because he ran a “Trump fund” for sick children, and… it all went to Trump so…

    Yeah he is Anti-Curing Childhood Cancer

        And then for some reason think he’ll run the government like a business for their benefit instead of running it to the ground for his own benefit. After his first presidency was basically a scheme to funnel federal money into his hotels once he realized he could manufacture situations to force them to pay for rooms.

          Who in the fuck even convinced these mouth breathers that a government should be run like a business in the first place? Jesus fucking Christ that’s the dumbest shit ever.

            It’s something Romney came up with that… weirdly worked when Trump tried it even though it backfired heavily for Romney.

              Hahahahaha you think Romney invented that. Did space flight and computers also get invented when you were in grade school? The steam engine?

              Go back 100 years and you’re still too late.

          He was supposed to divest interest in any business that would present even the appearance of a conflict of interest, as has been done for almost 250 years. Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm to prevent any possible appearance of corruption. Trump on the other hand put his whole staff up in his hotel, charging the American taxpayers millions of dollars per day, and sold Goyo bean commercials directly from the oval office. In typical modern fashion, the judicial and legislative branches of the government shrugged their shoulders and said “I guess there’s nothing we can do”. People talk about the damage trump may cause during his second term. Like WTF? He already outright destroyed any government credibility during his first term, dismantled trust in the free press, killed a bunch of funding, made enemies of our allies, and allies of our enemies, and cut corporate taxes even further. He has already destroyed what America was in the minds of its citizens. What more can he do, except remove the veil, and any pretense that we’re a nation of the people, by the people, for the people? At least then there would be honesty, and perhaps the blind could see.

            Normalcy Bias, no one did anything because “Everything’s fine folks, adults are still in charge, if we pretend this is normal that means it is!”
