trumps heist
Aug 6^th, 2025 at 10:34pm

they elected a criminal, this is what crims do

.......... Virtually every week, the Trump family seems to find a new way to profit from the presidency. The Trump Organization has brokered a growing catalog of real-estate projects with autocratic regimes, including a Trump tower in Saudi Arabia, a Trump hotel in Oman, and a Trump golf club in Vietnam. “We’re the hottest brand in the world right now,” Eric Trump recently proclaimed. In May, Qatar gave the White House a $400 million jet—a gift that looked a lot like a bribe but that Trump had no qualms accepting.

David Frum: The Trump presidency’s world-historical heist

And that’s just the foreign front. Domestically, Trump has used flimsy complaints to go after media organizations, resulting in settlements that resemble shakedowns. Last year, he accused 60 Minutes of deceptively editing an interview with his Democratic presidential opponent, Kamala Harris. Legal experts saw the claim as weak. Rather than fighting it in court, however, Paramount agreed to pay $16 million, which will subsidize Trump’s future presidential library and cover his legal fees. Following a similarly dubious lawsuit, ABC sent $15 million to Trump’s library fund and issued a “statement of regret.”

Beyond the court, the president has peddled Trump perfumes, Trump sneakers, and Trump phones, shamelessly using the prestige of the presidency to boost his family’s income. And then there’s crypto: the $TRUMP meme coin, the pay-to-play dinners with investors, the paused prosecution of a crypto kingpin who had purchased $30 million in Trump-backed tokens. .................

Trump understands one of my favourite marketing teachers , the legendary John Carlton s maxim

Make your mess your message.

It makes you seem congruent and in control of the frame.

Like when Kerry packer was asked why he paid a low tax rate and replied
Only a total f wit pays one cent more then he has to.

People respect strong men who feature their flaws and own their actions.

Everyone basically wants pussy and cash.

But rich people are often embarrassed and pretend they just want to be like George clooney and go dig wells for the pygmies or Bill gates and go vaccinate Ethiopians ( whilst stealing their blood for a gene databank).

The public don't buy it.

What you can't fake, you feature.

Own it
Be unapologetic.

It builds trust that you aren't a 2 faced phoney.

Trump loves cash and pussy.

He doesn't lose a single vote by being attacked over his love of cash and pussy, because he does nothing but talk about how he loves cash and pussy.

Smart marketing. Wink

No

It's easier to get your own way when you establish a frame of

This is me.
I'm Trump
I like cash and pussy.
The system is corrupt and I'm going to pull back the curtain and show you how to work the system

When Pelosi is worth 200 million despite earning only 500 k a year. Everyone knows they are all working the system

Trump does it out in the open.

Hay Vietnam. Build me a golf course and your tariffs cone down
Yes sir Mr Trump.
Right away sir.

The public aren't offended because he's controlling the frame.

How else do you reconcile him getting away with stuff that would crush , say, an Anthony albanese.?

He's right, Sprint. Whatabout the Biden crime family?

Hunter Biden lied on his gun form.

Well, he'd been clean for two weeks, but he still didn't tick the CRACK ADDICT box.

Also, Sleepy Joe declined to declare a $12,000 "loan" repaid by his brother in-law.

Despicable stuff. This is the real corruption. All Donnie's done is a few billion dollar deals.

Chickenfeed when you think of all the good he's doing.

Just killing it, no?

Actually, scrap that - the Dems are the pits.

Moderators, something needs to be done about this perverted nonsense, it's getting beyond a joke.

Joe Biden probably has less money than me, but he has a bigger family trust than me that I can guarantee you. Thats why Trump pays no tax, his companies pay tax just like Joe owns nothing but guess who controls the millions in the Biden (whatever name it comes under) trust.

Oh, he's told a few little ones too.

He never had sex with that Stormy Daniels woman, E Jean's not his type, he never met all those other ones he paid off, he likes the New and Old Testaments both equally.

I don't know what Aquascoot's talking about. In his own telling, he's a devoted husband, regular family man and committed Christian.

You?

Hard to say, Leroy. I'm getting an ad for hearing aids. I don't really need one, but should I click on it just in case?

Unless you know him well, you project a lot about Trump's mind in your posts.

That'd be his big lie, over bothering with lots of little ones... the standard malignant narcissist frame: invincible, omniscient, omnipotent... the rest is left to the fawner to paint within the lines.

Funny, I always thought the role of any government and its leader (President in the case of the United States) was to serve the people and improve their living conditions and health, etc.

My bad... I should have known better (I did, I'm just being sarcastic). The role of governments these days.. and it's been like this for a long time.. is to make as much money for themselves as they can and screw the people (literally screw them in a few cases as we've seen).

Must be the reason why I see Australia's government referred to as "gov.corp" fairly often on some forums.
