When Republicans hoped that Trump would run the government like a business, I doubt they were expecting that he was going to run it like his OWN private business. Do they think presential profiteering makes him smart? #MemeCoin #TrumpIsaNationalDisgrace www.cnbc.com/2025/04/25/t...

Trump brags about his shakedown of major law firms: "We have a lot of law firms that have paid me a lot of money... they paid $100m on average... hopefully I won't need that many legal fees. I may. Who knows? After it ends. After I leave maybe I'll need it, but if I do it won't be very pleasant."

Unlike Trumpers, we actually want our leaders to be held accountable when they commit serious crimes. If only Trump could be punished for all the profiteering he did and will do while in office.

Just caught the prosecutor's rationale for his sentencing recommendation of unconditional discharge. Let me amend it for accuracy: "We cannot allow any conditions of a sentence to interfere with the duties of the Presidency, including golfing, political rallies, and vengeance-related activities."
