    Shit… you don’t know the half of it. Trump has probably laundered a trillion dollars through this crapbag in the past two years.

    I assume this means his companies were paid 16B in contracts to the government?

    Still scandalous as he’ll, but worth mentioning.

    The truly disgusting thing about this is $16 million is literal pocket change for this guy. It’s a rounding error. He did it because it’s his nature.

        Yeah, knew that when I was typing it out. Even more sick that he probably wouldn’t notice $16 billion. Guy is an absolute crook and charlatan.

      If you get caught stealing $16, then you have a problem.

      If you get caught stealing $16 billion, then the people who caught you have a problem

    The grift!

    He paid for government access to shutdown all the regulators that were looking into his fraud. Quid pro quo classic corruption out in the open. He should already been in prison.

      He’s a flight risk.
      Arresting him then chopping his arms and legs off would be a good way to stop him making a run for it!! (If he’s not guilty then give him back his appendages)

      Another alternative is my patented “feet first woodchipper slow dunk.” I can’t explain the basics about this option because I get too excited…

          They would have to commit more brutality than is already committed in the US every year to get people to stop celebrating this shit. It would literally be a year long, mass celebration that the world hasn’t seen since at least the COVID vaccines were finalized.

      Wait to you learn that Tesla was never profitable because the reality was the majority of their profits were based on financial instruments like carbon credits. It was always a pump and dump scam.

        Let’s keep it simple and sweet, everything musk does is a grift.

        He finds smart people so sometimes things get built by accident, but he’s ultimately just a grifter

        Like his flying car business… Instead of building a giant quad and making a real flying “car” (as many have done), he spent God knows how much to build an rc car that could never, ever, in any country, be allowed on the road
