How Trump Has Pocketed $1,408,500,000

Tuesday, January 20, 2026

President Trump has never been a man to ask what he can do for his country. In his second term, as in his first, he is instead testing the limits of what his country can do for him.

NYT documents how Trump made at least $1.4 billion off the presidency during his first year in office, although that is not the full amount since many of his other deals are hidden from the public. www.nytimes.com/interactive/ ...

This administration is literally everything "constitutional conservatives" claimed to be against for my entire adult life.

It's the antithesis of what their supposed idols and stalwarts like Reagan and Buckley expressed.

Yet they stand there, bobble heading along with every single illegal and unconstitutional action with chirps of "just comply" and "but but but Harris" as if it addresses the issues.

I am laughing now while typing, remembering how Comer et al was going to prove that Biden had accepted three million from China (notice! no proof ever happened; that was quietly dropped, and the investigation went a la Whitewater to Hunter Biden).

Where is Comer now? Trying to "investigate" Newsom and Walz. Meanwhile, Trump fleeces the nation and beyond. Out in the open!

The GOP in Congress really are the vilest cowardly scum imaginable.

Traditional Conservatives: Limited Government, Separation of Powers, Rule of Law, Free Speech

Trump Conservatives: All power to our Great Leader! Crush all opposition! Purify the homeland!

Just a peek into the world these grifters and thieves inhabit:

Treasury Sec. Bessent, vomit bag, please, really appears to believe hordes of Americans are saving for retirement by purchasing "five, 10, 12 homes" (www.msn.com).

It's okay, I'll toss that bag.
