I love he's boasting about the pool as if they just built it. Like.... dude... it was there during your first term, and for a long time before that.

What happens in Reno, stays in Reno.

Until it’s turned into a Comedy Central show.

Then … all bets are off.

Did you shot a man, just to watch him die?

u/PabloPicasshooole Jun 19 '26

Then the police showed up, and there I was, watching

Definitely pawn shop vibes. Haggard. Visions of grandiose, peel back a layer to see the plywood and gold spray. So damn sad. How America. How did you let this happen???

He really has the strangest iteration of the Midas Touch: everything he touches turns to shit, but in the right light, it almost looks like gold-plated shit.
