    Translation: “give me enough money and I’ll promote whatever you want.”

    Most presidents at least pretended they couldn’t be bought.

        Ah yes. Thanks for the reminder of those times, which COVID had distracted me from.

        I can’t decide whether this pic or the photo of George W. Bush literally holding hands with the king of Saudi Arabia is worse. I mean, at least Goya doesn’t have people cut up with bone saws and they definitely had nothing to do with 9/11.

        I like to substitute Trump’s middle initial with a G instead of a J.

      Nah. Imo, this is him telling oil company that they need to step up and fully fund his requests for money “or else”. Didn’t he recently ask the oil industry for an insane amount of money at the beginning of his campaign or something?

      Dude’s made a living selling his stupid face every opportunity he can to get attention, why would he let a little thing like presidential integrity get in the way? It certainly didn’t when he was actually president!

      “Some fok’ll never tip their hand, but then again some fok’ll. Like Donald the Slack-jawed Yokel.”

      Trump: “It wasn’t my fault, he had a LOT
      of money.”
