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

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

Turns out “playing 4D chess” is just MAGA politikese for “broadcasting our corruption loudly and assuming enough people are also either too corrupt, ignorant, or disaffected to do anything about it.”

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?

No, you’re right. But I think this is specifically a message to the oil industry.

The best quo. Lots of smart people are saying it’s the best quo. The quid? Not so good. But the quo is good.

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!

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.

Trump endorsed EVs for $180 million, I wonder what his rock-bottom lowest price is?

Twenty bucks?

There’s an anecdote I’ve seen a few times on the Internet about a newspaper in the 80s sending rich people checks for tiny amounts of money, like $.15, just to see who’d cash 'em. Trump was the only one who did.

Not an anecdote - Spy magazine actually did this. Trump was not the only one to cash the tiny checks, but what Spy did was start with an amount like $1.86 to see who cashed them and then reduced the amount twice, finally ending at 13 cents. Trump was one of only two to cash the 13 cent checks. It was also apparent that Trump endorsed the checks personally.
