Seriously, is this guy ok? Like we need a president who can come to work everyday.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago

Yeah he didn't do that. The amount of shit he fucked up is pretty spectacular.

We the people might need a president that can come to work everyday.

Conservatives need a monkey that will rubber stamp anything they put in front of him.

Two different requirements

He wasn't even working when he was there the first time! He spent more tax money than any other president on golfing most of his term. Oh, and even "better" he golfed at his own resort using our tax dollars.

dont' forget leasing an entire floor of trump tower to the secret service the whole 4 years. also taxpayer money funneled directly into his pockets

I still to this day don't know how he got away with this. It was so blatant and in your face that a freshman law student could have won the case in court.

Because no one wanted to hold him accountable, his admin literally responded to questions about this with ''he's still basically running a business'' which, if your unaware, it's literally illegal to do. And they admitted to it freely, and they've never been held accountable.

I think it’s because he essentially commits a crime a day. If he keeps this going- the system will be so burdened by trying to build cases against him that there will never be time to actually convict him for any of them.

And all he needs to do is bide his time until he can just pardon himself for all of it and execute those that tried to convict him.
