Any media outlets that don’t address this video of Trump wearing a crown dumping shit on Americans is normalizing it.
As with everything else this authoritarian regime does, you’re either calling it out or normalizing it. There is no third option.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.
Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.
The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.
Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M
See the problem?
