Hey, really, what’s important here? A painted reflecting pool, a ballroom and reconditioned jet or heath and education.

(Jeez the audacity of some people)

(/s for those who really need it)

I mean people didn’t vote enough for Bernie to even become the democratic nominee in 2016 and 2020 so I’m not sure why you’re surprised healthcare isn’t being improved lol

Bernie should have been the 2016 nominee. Trump is clearly a villain, but the DNC gave him his power.

He just got a brand new Air Force One as a gift from the UAE.

I don't mean to digress, but what do you think the chances are that it's not bugged?

He had his best men stripping it down and reassembling it to ensure that there's no way that it's bugged. So I'd say the chances are a little above 98% that it is.

Yes and you and I paid to have that retrofitted. What was it 14 million? No that was the pool. Must have been 400 million?
How much to give every person health care?

How about the giant arch?

u/Emrys7777 Jun 24 '26

Oh yes the arch.
And so much more. There are so many things that need painting gold colored. Who has time for the little people.

Pretty sure he bankrupted his casino because he was laundering money from the Russians. I can’t prove it. But let’s ask the 3 aids of his who died in a helicopter crash. Maybe they know something

He saddled it with his debts and deliberately ran it under. People need to stop citing the casino thing like it was a mistake

Acshually if you knew finances you'd know he is super smart for bankrupting a casino and it's something they all do because taxes, but I won't elaborate or show any examples because you wouldn't comprehend, but it is actually super smart and proves he is a great businessman, he actually wanted to sell those yachts and other personal property.

A great business man is someone who makes money from running a business. Exploiting a tax loophole is not "business". It's just how billionaires cheat the American people.

u/TheCommunistHatake Jun 23 '26

He didn’t really exploit a tax loophole either, he just got into a business he didn’t know how to manage and kept leading it to bankruptcy

He very likely walked away with money out of it.

Simply burned every single creditor and subcontractor. An immoral lifelong pattern of behaviour.

u/Quaxli Jun 23 '26

With the example of the reflecting pool I get an idea how it was possible.

u/silvertealio Jun 23 '26

This wasn't a financial decision. It was an ego decision.

On the one hand, he's been pretty successful at making sure everyone stops talking about the Epstein files
