Donnie Rotten won't be remembered for his ballroom, Arc de Trump or any other garish crap...

No, Donnie you can redo the White House in gold leafing, put up Versailles style ballrooms, or anything else your cold heart desires - you will not be remembered for any of these things.

You will be remembered for the cruelty, bigotry, misogyny, ignorance, sloth, narcissism, chaos, racism, and divisiveness.

This will be your legacy and your infamy will live through the ages.

and for his destroying our relationships with every last one of our allies. It will take generations to repair the damage--if it can even be repaired.

I still have my doubts that it will ever be completed.

he's taking a direct tactic out of the mafia's playbook: start a big project, claim it costs so much over what it would really cost, hire people with connections or dubious background and let it drag on forever.

it's the best way to launder money.

It is a way to raise money. Even if it was a legit project they are starting at zero. They do not have plans, drawings. Anything.

A project of that magnitude is a multi year effort from initial idea to design, procurement, writing and awarding contracts, procuring the gigantic amount of materials, building it.

It's not a little house. Its a football field size building and not just a simple warehouse.

The only conclusion is that he is using it to siphon money kinda like the wall on the southern border.

And alienating our allies while cozying up to dictators.

And making every effort to add to, instead of remedy, catastrophic climate change.

And acting like a dictator, making every effort to rule by decree while demonstrating an utter disregard for Constitutional rule of law.

And Jan 6 and every effort to subvert and damage American representative democracy and checks & balances.

And giving Elon Musk the chainsaw he used to rip apart federal agencies which serve the American people.

And the unbridled corruption, grifting off the presidency, high crimes and misdemeanors.

And the list keeps getting longer, just ten months into a 2nd term of flooding the zone with shit.

11. Trump is a Traitor
Mon Dec 1, 2025, 08:53 AM

Donald J Trump represents the most successful spy operation of all time. And thanks to Just-us John Roberts redefining the meaning of "Insurrection" and the very words of the Constitution of the United States of America, an active Russian agent has been allowed to return to the Oval Office to again "serve" as the pee-resident.



Normally, I'd say: "Think about that!" But, destroying truth is what tyrants do. It's why they hate a free press.

It's why trumpf is doing all he can to sue anyone who ever wrote anything bad about him. Now he has the DoJ doing his dirty work and handing the legal bill to the U.S. taxpayer.

The photo of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and dip above was taken by TASS, the official Russian news agency. The US media were not informed about the 2017 visit. We learned about it because the Unstable Moron himself spread the pic proudly on social media.

How many people do you know who’ve seen that picture or the one below, taken on an earlier date in the Oval Office? Again, very few.



“I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.”

"I'm not under investigation," he added.

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-nut-job-james-comey-russia-2017-5

And this is the man leading the "restructuring of American government" today winking at Putin at a diplomatic affair during his first madministration.



There’s a reason why Putin, the Kremlin and the GRU and whatever the KGB is called these days call him "America's Gorbachev." Gorby sped up the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Now Putin returns the favor through Trump and his destruction of America's economy, hailed just before the 2024 election by The Economist as "The Envy of the World."
