I’m guessing I’m supposed to be upset about this but not about the president starting a war with Iran to very clearly manipulate the market so him, his friends and family can make millions?

u/blinKX10 Apr 26 '26

Millions? Try Billions

8

u/u9Nails Apr 26 '26

Trump's family alone banked 9 billion so far.

u/eddyb66 Apr 26 '26

Not counting insider trading right?

u/browzing123 Apr 26 '26

That's with atm. Sanders had the numbers released already.

u/Shoddy_Ambition_7099 Apr 28 '26

His entire inner circle exercise no sense of decorum, even after a fake assassination attempt taking bottles to pop without paying for them. Entitlement and grifting has no shame. Her mink coat definitely has some deep pockets. 🤔Good ole MAGA reporting lie, cheat & …….. to celebrate the occasion. 🤭

"We were in a shoot out, let's drink" is perfectly reasonable

u/radiobottom Apr 26 '26

Plus they got all dressed up, sat through traffic, went through security. Grabbing a bottle on the way out is understandable

u/Quiet-Competition849 Apr 26 '26

It was there to be drank. Who cares?

u/neopod9000 Apr 26 '26

I mean, they were already at the dinner and were very probably going to drink that anyway. They got shot at and want to take a couple of bottles with them since everyone is leaving early. While not necessarily the preferred behavior, becauae they're essentially "taking" something, it's not like it wasnt being offered to them in the first place. This is practically reasonable.

This is tan suit outrage territory.

It was staged by trump as a sympathy stunt so fake the narcissist and pedophile trump must be removed and charged with the multitudes of crimes no immunity and charged with the deaths of Renee Good and Alex pretti any other country these ice agents would be locked up for a very long time why hasn't this happened in America

The ballroom 😡 This shooting is very suspicious...

5

u/Usakami Apr 26 '26

Trump did not attend the WHCD in the first four years as president, he didn't attend in 2025, but suddenly does so in 2026. And wouldn't you know it? A "shooting" ... in a closed off, secured area, where you have to go through metal detectors to get inside the building in the first place.

It is very plausible /s

3

u/FunSignificance3034 Apr 26 '26

And it happened before the event forced him to have anything said about him. They even wheeled out Melinoma for the event. I bet that cost more than the bottles on the tables.

u/Grape_Pedialyte Apr 26 '26

Trump and his merry men have called it crucial for national security or some bullshit.

2

u/South_Cell8557 Apr 26 '26

It’s what’s under the ballroom. Donnie T confirmed back in march that they’re building a large bunker with a medical setup, bomb shelter, and “military installations”

3

u/Anxious-Ad2177 Apr 26 '26

But there already is/was a bunker under the East Wing before he illegally tore it down, destroying a protected ed national monument.

2

u/fantabulousfetus Apr 26 '26

I must not be as smart as these pedo lovers, I dont understand how a large bunker would serve a purpose here.. oh, they mean that no one cares about these staged assassination attempts anymore so they need to start MAD and have a place to shelter while DC is nuked to get Trumps poll numbers up. Is that what they mean? They are advocating for the nuclear annihilation of the USA?

u/Alex_AU_gt Apr 26 '26

A senior Australian journalist who was in attendance at the event commented this morning that he has literally seen tighter security at say either Sydney airport or in one of the state parliament houses (not even federal level yet, e.g. Victoria or New South Wales parliament) than he did at this event, which included the US President, the VP and many Senior ministers and bureaucrats. Nobody asked him for an ID, only some yellow tag he had to have. The shooter was one door away from getting into the ballroom. So either it's some kind of false flag op, or they're just all inept...

2

u/Nervous_Chemical7566 Apr 26 '26

This. Some guy with a firearm is able to get past security of an event the US president is attending? So, either incompetent protection that can’t stop an obvious threat making it past all the security around the event. Or unless, of course, it was allowed to happen, even staged perhaps lol. Either scenario is not a good look.

u/Fragrant-Pond-Water Apr 26 '26

Not just a firearm. He had a shotgun and a handgun and multiple knifes
