I've never seen MAGA admit that Donald is a thief. But I have never seen them deny it, either. I suppose this issue is in the Phantom Zone for them. Like so much else is.

I'm not sure how anyone can be completely real with this attitude. But then again, being real isn't a value MAGA has.

"At the CIA, I was an Iraq specialist. I spent a lot of time in Baghdad.
Saddam Hussein would spit out his tea at the amount of money Trump has stolen from his own people."

This is all one big deflection to the 100s of Billions of dollars in GRIFT and CORRUPTION permeating the US Federal/State/Local governments on a yearly basis.

If you were to admit that Donald Trump steals for a living, your entire life would come tumbling down.

Donald Trump has stolen from cancer charities.

Now, you can't tell me that you don't know about it.

Any honest man would be done with Trump simply because of that.

Way to own what you are. Good job.

You've been nothing but one big deflection since you arrived here.

DJT is nothing but one big deflection from the path America should be taking.

Welcome to America and please respect and Enjoy the Great American FAFO.

DJT has surrounded himself with the selfish Prosperity Gospel fanatics that apparently see his Grift as proof of his 'Kingship', and see the People as a source of wealth to be taken advantage of.

What does their book say about how a King should rule?

"Endow the king with your justice, O God,
the royal son with your righteousness.

May he judge your people in righteousness,
your afflicted ones with justice.

May the mountains bring prosperity to the people,
the hills the fruit of righteousness.
May he defend the afflicted among the people
and save the children of the needy;
may he crush the oppressor."

"For he will deliver the needy who cry out,
the afflicted who have no one to help.

He will take pity on the weak and the needy
and save the needy from death.

He will rescue them from oppression and violence,
for precious is their blood in his sight."

"Then all nations will be blessed through him,
and they will call him blessed."

Sun Tzu put it slightly differently (without all the religious dogma).

In Sun Tzu's strategic framework, the Moral Law is not a religious code, but rather the shared purpose, trust, and psychological ALIGNMENT between a leader and their people. When this harmony is achieved, an organization or army develops absolute unity and resilience under pressure.

"The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger."

"The consummate leader cultivates the moral law, and strictly adheres to method and discipline; thus it is in his power to control success."

This is why the Iran War of choice (for the President ) is a total disaster for America. Because America did not choose this war.

The Iran war is not a war of choice it is a war of aggression

It is a crime against humanity and America deserves to suffer

Piggy fully intended on stealing Iran's natural resources like he is doing with Venezuela

A war of aggression is widely recognized in international law as the supreme international crime

For all other crimes are birthed therefrom
