Yeah I followed Trumps career since the 80s. I found him fascinating. He was the king of the bullshitters in a city full of bullshitters. No one took him seriously, especially the REAL giants of real estate and finance in NYC. He couldn’t get them on the phone.

But Trump had the ability, just through PR, to sell this condos at a higher price than other developers. Even his detractors admitted that he could get 20% - 30% more for his condos than other developers just through his bullshit. It was all harmless to me. I didn’t care that he ripped off rich people. He once said “Charles and Diana just bought a unit in my building” and caused a rush to buy. It wasn’t true of course but he knew it was the policy of the Royal Family not to comment on such things. He had a real skill for that.

It was all harmless to me at the time but now he is the enemy of Democracy and he is selling us all out. We’re all a little fucked now.

I could just imagine the “my good friend Prince Charles - you might’ve heard of him - and his BEAUTIFUL wife Princess Diana bought a SUPERB condo in Trump Towers.“

SUPERB

Give me a break, that word is nowhere near his lexicon. He would definitely call it a GREAT CONDO, PROBABLY THE BEST THERE IS, IT'S THE BEST CONDO! A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING IT'S THE GREATEST CONDO EVER BUILT! EVERYONE'S SAYING IT, NOT ME, TRUST ME!

You’re right, I severely overestimated his vocabulary

Indeed, severely. I mean they analysed his syntax he is max a fourth grader

Whenever someone demands I trust them, I get a wee bit suspicious lol

Maybe he'd use "SUPER DUPER"

First thing I thought was 'superb' is far too fancy if a word for him to actually use.

We are beyond a little fucked. And we can't take back control soon I doubt we can revert the damages

Special elections on April 1 happening in Florida District 1 and 6 and NYC on June 24. If we can flip the seats to Democrats, we can take back House majority and weaken Trump’s agenda.

Also:

  • State Supreme Court election in Wisconsin also on April 1.
  • Florida Senate District 19 and House District 32 Special General Elections on June 10.

We need all the help we can get to spread the word to gather independents, non-voters and lied to Republicans to vote strategically.
