Why is he so slippery? It's more than just mafia tactics imo

This idiot judge knows the cost. They all know the cost, yet his staunch supporters cannot break away from him. Almost seems like some nefarious brain washing tactics at play, beyond his low IQ cult followers. Many very smart people are still on board with him, that don't hold office or have skin in the game. WHY?

Minority rule, no taxes on the rich. Women, POC, LGBQTQ, Dems, all subjugated and controlled.

church basement. Rotary chicken lunch. Boardroom sirloin.

Ever see a kid cry cause they didn’t get invited to the party?

It’s all eighth grade. Except it isn’t.

that folks consider that Trump isn't as stupid as the jokes and funny comments make him out to be.
I do agree, he's certainly not highly intelligent, but when it comes to crap like this, he's pretty greasy and is very careful about riding the lines of legality in just about everything he says and does.
We can call him all the silly kindergarten names that we want, but in the end, bad people are better at this than good people (most of the time) because that is what they do. Trump has made it his profession and has surrounded himself with others that assist him in doing so. So don't make the mistake of underestimating the lengths he will go to in order to protect himself from the liabilities of his behavior. That jackass almost always has an ace up his sleeve, and that is why everyone who confronts his bullshit has to step very lightly and very slowly in order to avoid giving him an escape route.

$ grubbing at every second to his base, WHILE claiming how rich he is.
Got all 1st tier kids all in the family business.

This ever shrinking base of his are rubes!

De-wormer over a vaccine millions have taken and not died from, among others.

Karen/Chad videos about the dumbest crap I couldn't even think of?

No shame, dignity, or self awareness, you eventually self-own!

Never forget:
He gave Rush, noteworthy toxic mind messerupper THE MEDAL OF FREEDOM!

That was a giant middle finger!

I think as long as he’s alive, they’ll always be someone to throw him a log to hang onto.

George Carlin vibes from the entire thing.

The curtain has been pulled back and we're seeing the back of the stage.

It's scaring the hell out of me to tell you the truth.
