... "I am not even making of my rent," she said on the social media site. "I never did this for the money but I don't know how much longer I can last with paying for all the stuff."

In an interview with the Tribune, Fleischmann blamed poor sales on the ongoing U.S.-Israeli-led war in Iran, saying business tanked shortly after the military operation began on Feb. 28.

You know Orange Adolf is in trouble when the maga rubes stop buying merch. He'd better pull his plane out of mothballs to prepare for a one way flight to mother Russia.

"I never did this for the money..."

Of course you did, honey. For God's sake, don't LIE on TRUTH!

"... but I don't know how much longer I can last with paying for all the stuff."

The best suggestion from the article.

"Have you tried not paying your contractors and suppliers, getting a million dollar loan from your parents or just declaring bankruptcy?" asked another post on the Facebook page. "These strategies seemed to work well for Trump."

Reminds me of a joke from the 1980's during the Ronnie Regan years. Farmers we complaining of receiving $2 a bushel for corn but it cost $2.50 to grow. The solution was buy a bigger truck.

MAGAs are winking out like stars in a dying universe, in a galaxy that's nothing but a cult of personality who idolize a man, nearly 80 years old and mentally off, who continues showing the U.S. and the world what his true self does with no guardrails.

I'm having a hard time coming up with what their inventory might have been.
