Actually we are paying for everything, and then some, now that he sits in the OO. I challenge anyone to name 1 thing he actually pays for out of his pocket during this reign....he smells only money and knew this was the grift of all grifts to be potus... but really he 's just a POS

That's not something you can buy at Home Depot. Probably waiting for the special order to come through. And, whoops, he'd have to pay in advance.

Doubt he even knows what Home Depot is. He’s still wrapping his head around “groceries.” Ya know,!that old fashioned word no one uses any more.

Perfectly said and what is so incredibly laughable is that his, go down with the ship Magas, actually believe he pays for everything out of his own pocket. There is no talking with them or even presenting the truth. You could slam their face into the statistical page of where you found it, and they would still not believe it! I think they are drinking something more than Kool-Aid. It's a higher level batch. Frankly, I have made a pact not to engage with them anymore. They only want to rant and spew, call you names, without listening to a factual word you have to say. He is indeed a POS and we have to get more members of the House so that we can take all our boots and KICK HIM OUT!!!

Unfortunately the grift goes beyond Donny, his supporters and enablers are raking it in too. We might be able to remove some of their momentum by boycotting their business and cutting off their payday, so they turn on Donn, cause nothing is more important to these folks than their money.

Unfortunately he’s still raking in the money from government contracts. At least we don’t have to look at him or hear his drivel.

I agree. I boycott many corporate businesses and encourage everyone else to do so.

I'll take a shot with you Michael (not Scotch) but I'm not building that motherfucker anything! We just need to band together, rally in the streets and let the MAGA cult go to his birthday shit show on June 14th. Write your postcards, make your phone calls to Congress members and bring people to our Substack family! 🥃✊🏻

AGREE!!! The Mothers March had me laughing with glee because they are having a tremendous march on that very day only their theme is the circus. They are dressing up as clowns and the whole thing to call out Trump. There are several other groups that will be protesting as well and it looks like the Veterans are attempting to stop the entire thing. They should have Veterans lined up the stupid "parade" line protesting. It is their right. No Veteran should be marching in that parade!! He wants 6,000 and it would be grand if he only had a few stragglers who still believe he is king. Even better, none show up. It is a full out N Korea parade and he knows and we all know it but the Magas are so excited. We have officially entered the Twilight Zone but we have to fight against this POS regime!!

He is so easily manipulated and bought. Jr and Eric are signing deals left and right with the Saudis. Trump is thrilled to be bought with a 13 year old plane, for sale since 2020, with zero concern about the United States We the people are getting hurt, cruelty is the point.

That’s very true, although, they are not the President of the United States, nor his family. Before Trump, Presidents needed to divest from their own businesses and family would never make themselves richer. Heck, Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm. Between the emoluments clause and Hatch Act, both are being not only ignored, it’s all out in the open.

Michael the Mensch -sorry we already have a set of new 100% Boeing Air Force 1 - 747 Jets being built that will be ready roughly the same time of retrofitted Qatari flying palace. The key difference is Trump gets to keep one and the others remain with the USAF!

People that tell the truth don’t have difficulty when questioned by others for clarity. Liars are stuck in their terrible 2’s. Never held accountable? They learn to get better at shaming and blaming others who ultimately give into them from sheer exhaustion. Then the wall of words they give you, that make no sense, gets more confusing to the listener. This often results in the listener feeling less than, fearful, mistrusting themselves. When we capitulate and enable dishonesty, it’s like having a virus that spreads to everyone. We all get sick and stunted emotionally. Adulting is hard. Money has a way of covering up our immaturity, insecurity and unconscious self-hatred.

Bet Michael was an excellent courtroom lawyer. His language — and I'm not just talking about his prolific use of the F-bomb and other assorted expletives — is outstanding. Such creative metaphors and similes and double entendres! Every post is a joy to read.

I thought the same that Michael is an excellent lawyer yet he’s a brilliant writer which we all get to learn and enjoy. Everyone that I have sent his Substack site to has thanked me. We need to share his site a million times over the more that hear him the more we prosper!!!

This plane was not even wanted by Qatar - they had given it to the Turkish president who did not want it and they could not sell the thing. I hope that these facts come to light. How embarrassing; a re-gift that will cost Americans a billion dollars and what's left of our dignity, if there is any. Thank Trump's Greed for belittling/destroying Democracy in the US, even more so.
