You know, that response really sort of highlights how these guys have zero concept of how much things actually cost or what the value of money is to most people since they have such obscene amounts while at the same time they want more More MORE. There's something unhealthy about the compulsion to horde wealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being political but in terms of temperament, Trump is a sorry ass human being, and that's putting it mildly. How the f*** did we go from an eloquent, restrained and respectful president to an over the top loudmouth arrogant asshole? That he has millions of supporters who are ok with his behavior is really telling of what kind of people they are.

Imagine what he could do with 280 now. He isn't attacking America, he's target is Trump. Trump does not represent me nor millions of other fellow Americans. He is the POTUS so obviously he is our leader atm but the majority of Americans do not condone his ridiculous behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEIR government is OUR government Just remember, when Stern asked them what 17 X 6 equaled, Donny Jr., Ivanka, and POTUS were 0 for 3. As smart as he claims he is... First of all, can you explain to us why Sudan was removed? And second of all, how does the travel ban work in North Korea that doesn’t allow their people out of the country?” a reporter asked, according to a White House transcript. “Well, the people ― yeah, the people allowed ― certain countries ― but we can add countries very easily and we can take countries away,” Trump replied. “What did Sudan do right?” the reporter pressed. “And as far as the travel ban is concerned, whatever it is, I want the toughest travel ban you can have,” Trump continued. “So I’ll see you in Indiana. We’re going to go over some more points that have not been talked about. Are you all going? Is everyone going?” I bet there are a ton of bankers laughing their asses off when Trump keeps bring up Puerto Rico's debt and how that will be handled.
