    I’m kind of confused why trump is still being so openly corrupt in the service of gaining more money. The man is 79. Even out of office he’ll have secret service protection for the rest of his life. According to trump’s own CDC life expectancy for US males is 75.8 years. What’s he even going to spend the money on? As much as I hate to admit it, holding the office of President makes him the most powerful man in the world. He doesn’t even need money because he can just use his corrupt power to take anything he wants from anyone on the planet.

    For someone in that position, accepting bribes in the form of money should be boring and belittling.

      He probably owes the kind of people you don’t want to owe far more money than he’s ever capable of actually amassing.

      Remember he also literally has no shame

      He’s evil. Like, ideologically evil. He has a moral code, whether he knows it or not, that demands he takes the worst option possible in every situation he finds himself in.

      So then Palantir’s Peter Thiel will control US government directly through JD Vance? Not sure that’s better than fascist Trump.

        The cult will consume Vance. Thing is, Pandora’s box has been opened. There’s no going back either way now. The only way out is through.

          It doesn’t matter how unpopular Vance is. It’s a one legal way he can get power without election process.

          And unlike Trump, Vance is not stupid. He’s been groomed his whole life for this.

      No thanks. I’d rather a sequence of debilitating strokes that leave him even more mentally and physically impaired. I’d prefer he lives a long life in misery and impotence.
