wtf, is grifting from the government getting that blatant now?

Bribery is free speech now

Why are workers so lazy? All you need to succeed in life is grit, a can-do attitude and a small settlement of 230 million dollars!

The Whitehouse Ballroom is predicted to cost $230 million. I wonder. A coincidence?

You think he'll pay for that himself, even with free money?

Nope, 0 chance he'd spend his own money on anything.

All any contractor that he hired to build casinos, those people doing the Whitehouse ballroom, they're never getting paid.

That's Trump's MO, hire people to do work for you, then instead of paying them, threaten to sue them. He's allergic to playing fair.

He says he's going to give it to charity.

Well, he seems to be draining it of money.

At this point, why not just load up dump trucks at the treasury? Exactly what the fuck is a sick and rotting 80 year old going to do with all these billions?
