Can I officially coin the term “Trumpionaire” to refer to someone who enriched themselves corruptly off the Trump regime/presidency?

Just a reminder that only a month ago, Trump pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, a man who helped smuggle more than 400 tons of cocaine into the USA.
Also a reminder... RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

The legal reasoning Trump has given for arresting Maduro is that he violated a 1934 law banning private ownership of machine guns that applies only in the USA, not foreign countries.
The Trump Admin is so incompetent that they can't even concoct a semi-plausible excuse for their illegal actions.

In each regime change, U.S. media showed images of locals celebrating as a means to justify the change. Yet each ended in tragedy.
Violent regime change does not work. It never has. Why not? Because it is driven by oil and profit—not people and principles.

Given trumps established patterns of lashing out and escalation after humiliation and defeat (J6, WH demolition, VZ coup), when SCOTUS rules against him on tariffs and birthright citizenship we should expect similar escalations to these.
