I was always partial to this one.
I am genuinely shocked at little these days.
I am absolutely floored that Trump, of all people didn't devise a way to sell tiny little bits of the East Wing to MAGA chuds for $4700 an ounce.
Like, you want a cognitive test he just failed? A pure gold grift just passed him by. Someone call a doctor, he's not doing OK.
Get your ground up White House dust! It cures what ails you.
SSSSsssnnoo^oooooo^~0000~ooooooort!
Nya! Wow, yeah, that's better than rhino horn. WHOO, definitely lead-based paint in that shit! WHOOO!
Nya!
Clearly not cured, snort more :3
He'll almost certainly be selling access to the new east wing, so I guess there's that.
No money for health care but here's 40 billion for Argentina and a 250 million dollar ballroom for my rich knob gobbling friends. Trumps fucking america hard
and two private jets for my terrorizer in chief and one for me
And he's suing to have the DOJ give him a handout of $230 million in our money.
40 billion actually is bailing out usa investors in argenitina, milei gets some of that money to stay quiet on the issue. i believe the investors are associated with BESSENET.

Has any reporter asked if they are union workers?
Government work operates on prevailing wage, can't specify union or not.
Whether or not they abided by this requirement I couldn't say.
Nothing says "america first" any better than a Swedish excavator dismantling the white house
Does demolishing a 120+ year old historical building to replace it with a gold-plated ballroom sound like the actions of a man who intends to leave office in 3 years time?
A picture is worth a thousand words, and this image pretty much encapsulates his entire time in power.
Fucking clown cunt.
Could use a couple of rusted-out cars on the lawn.
Yeah. Fuck you poor people. Thanks for the votes, but you're too stupid to see that we were going to fuck you in every way possible while enriching ourselves. Tacky bullshit for the ruling Nazis!
I can't understand how anyone can be so brainwashed that they voted trump, they can't afford groceries, yet they're completely supportive of this stupid ballroom
Peasants and their blind faith to monarchy hoping for crumbs
well you see russian propaganda through FOX, joe roegan, tim poole, jordan peterson helped. plus all the culture war stuff like anti-trans, anti-woman, anti-poc leaders.
Marketing, that's how [propaganda]. Humanity's most dangerous technology.
massive propaganda farms of russia helped.

Wait! Your government is still shut down?! That's four weeks now, isn't it?
entering the 4th week. yea.
Trump was going to spend this four year stretch hurting everyone who isn't an obese weirdo with a bucket of orange paint, this is nothing compared to his true dreams.

I just got an urgent text from my local food bank because they’re failing to keep up with all the demand from federal employees. This country is completely fucked.

It's official, he has destroyed every aspect of being a US citizen. He has stuck his pedo dick in every pot.
Maybe he'll get around to messing with the Statue of Liberty, too. Give her some real big bazongas.
I'm genuinely surprised he didn't try to blame antifa for bombing it...
The ol’ Nero.
Give him time. The last few, "blame the left" attempts blow up in his face.
"Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom. This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down,"
This kind of overt and vain corruption will not go down well in other countries. This alone should cause mass riots and demonstrations. I guess Americans are still getting used to dealing with autocracies.
we're long overdue for the one piece pirate flag
Don't worry guys, even though Donald Trump promised to get consumer costs under control on DAY ONE he still has huge throngs of apologists saying "Rome wasn't built in a day!" "You think you can fix this much stuff Biden broke so quickly?" "Actually, things ARE fixed already!"
For a con-man to flourish, he requires a steady stream of gullible people. Our country has a surplus and more are being manufactured every day. You might say ignorance is our #1 export.

This guy has no respect for anything.
This is going to be a throne room, no matter what Trump calls it publicly.
Sums up this year and this administration perfectly.
What a monstrosity.
It’s the building on the right? It looks bigger than the actual White House
It has a McDonald's drive thru in back.
Oh good. For a second I was worried
