"HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT?" Trump posted to his Truth Social platform on Monday.
"WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN'T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONC? ...AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO???
"I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren't allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment.

The demented sack of Putin's DNA is having another normal one.

Bruce Springsteen: a Has-Been for the past 50 years...

Taylor Swift: makes money the hard way--by performing for her fans...

Der Dotard: cannot walk nine holes and cannot accurately count his score. And don't ask him about the whereabouts of his wife...

A proper functioning DoJ would make an immediate statement that they operate independently and do not launch investigations just because the President calls upon them to do so.

By the way, knowing that every allegation is an admission from Trump, I fully expect to learn that Trump campaign appearances by people like Kid Rock and Hulk Hogan were illegal.

ah yes the ole 'remember when" game.

REMEMBER WHEN you jokers crowed about biden creating jobs and you were lying ( or let's say you were repeating lies) particular where covid was concerned.

REMEMBER WHEN you jokers raved every month about more and more jobs BUT NOW according to the DEPT of labor/stats --there were over 800,000 jobs THAT WERE NEVER THERE....as in
the after month revisions that you and the dem licking media kept HIDDEN.

REMEMBER WHEN you jokers lectured us and called us names when we said the market would come back / tesla was a GREAT BUY and that inflation would come down....see CNN last week.

REMEMBER WHEN you jokers said we were stupid for thinking that people would respond to the economy....OOPS>
google HARVARD / HARRIS POLL on positive opinion on the economy

--thanks for playing 'remember when'....it was fun.

hitler at the watergate....over and over one GD lie after another and then right on cue they go out and firebomb dealerships and destroy property EACH TIME proving THESE TWO FACTS.

1) YOU PEOPLE are the cultist to the point of going to prison when you react as you are being programmed.

2)..YOU PEOPLE are the ones who destroyed "democracy" when you accepted the coup of 2024 where your candidate was selected
in a back room by fat cat donors.

it's widely and bipartisanly agreed that these people are a cult.

dept of labor and stats says today you lied about 800K jobs last year alone. The total revised numbers that you and that guy MADDOW kept hidden.

CNN said last week that inflation was at it's lowests since before the brain dead veggie was elected....ABOUT 3 years
after we was first diagnosed with prostate issues but HIDDEN from the public ( LIED about by "you " )

Dotard Trumpf ordered investigations into harmless musicians? Trumpf directed Marco Rubella to cease funding war crimes investigations against Russian forces in Ukraine. To aid and abet his co-conspirators against world peace, Trumpf fired the Inspectors-General that were investigating Felon Musk's nefarious companies, and the Dotard sanctioned the International Criminal Court on behalf of Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu who were investigated for war crimes.
