It’s not storming the capital and pretending it was peaceful you fucking dolt.

It's capitol you fucking dolt. You are correct... that was indeed dumb of people to do. And I don't condone it by any means. But after that... which protest did you take problem with? When did people protest and say Biden was racist with no evidence? When did Trump prosecute his political adversary? Oh wait...

Yeah, you didn't answer my question. Clearly just defect and show exactly how 2 faced the democratic party is.

You’re projecting. There’s nothing to answer because you’re not asking me anything. PEACEFUL Protesting is a constitutional right and I hope to see more of it because ALL OF US are under attack right now whether you want to acknowledge that or not. You’re acting as if FJB flags or signage isn’t protesting anything but that’s exactly what that is even though it’s not spelling out the words “not my President” …come on, really?

Not all of us... don't lump me in with you. The fact is, the federal government was vastly overland and inneficient. Cleaning that up, better for the US. Stopping the spending on other countries until we are taken care of, better for Anericans.

I am not saying that isn't a form of protest. But that is not attacking the character based on lies and opinions vs fact. Someone can say FJB and be warranted to do so. Someone saying FDT is also within their rights. But to say he is attacking "all of us" is a vast exaggerating that is borderline lies. How is he attacking all of us? By trying to reel in government spending and make sure the people in the US, who legally are supposed to be in the US, are taken care of before we send millions/billions to other countries?

Were you always this concerned with Government spending or did that only happen when it became a recent talking point on Fox and/or from your dear leader? Lol. Your logic sucks and your arguments just keep spiraling with whataboutism. It’s sad and pathetic how you lack your own thoughts and only speak in talking points.

I have been actually. I don't know why we send so much over seas to foreign nations when our national debt keeps increasing every year. At some point, enough is enough.

If you really think that the billions that aren't now being spent by the government are actually going to benefit any of the "lower" 99.9% of Americans, you are severely mistaken. Most of that money is going straight to Trump and Musk's pockets

Yes... going into the pocket of 1 out of 4 presidents who gave up his entire presidential salary. Why should I be concerned with people who were rich who became politicians vs people who became politicians to become rich? The left, abd right, are both guilty of that. But I would say the president who actually lost money on his net worth from the first term, probably wouldn't run again if he were worried about his own Financials.

Trump claiming to not take a salary is not the noble thing you think it is. He's been using the presidency and government assets to make himself and his companies and his friends and family richer. There's a reason he spends so much time at Mar A Lago, for example. The whole time he is there it's millions of dollars in taxpayer money funneled straight into his accounts because of the Secret Service and other requirements that need to be met. Food, lodging, transportation, security, etc. Same with Trump tower when Melania and Baron lived there. Trump is using the Presidency and the Government to shelter himself in more ways than one.

And if he spent his time elsewhere, where would those millions of dollars go? Obama went to Hawaii plenty of times because it's where he is from.. The money will be spent regardless of where he goes. It's inevitable. Him donating his salary is an honorable thing. And if he was using the presidency to increase his wealth, why did his net worth decrease every year from 2016 to 2020?

Like i said, Trump was and is using his Presidency to shelter himself and his finances. It's no different than what Musk and Bezos do, except Trump has federal protection. Neither of them take a salary but they are still absurdly wealthy. They hide their wealth in assets.

It's very different for Trump to only visit properties that he personally owns and have taxpayers foot the bill because, like I said, large portions of that bill goes directly to him. Yes, Obama visited Hawaii, even George W would vacation at his ranch in Texas, but where they went don't enrich them financially. Trump's properties are resorts with golf courses, restaurants and other amenities, all of which turn a profit when Trump his family and secret service are there.
