Remember when he was threatening Jerome Powell over some boring ass routine renovation of some treasury office building? This corrupt mfer is beyond ironic.

u/hdcorb Aug 05 '26

And he aggregated the costs of three different buildings-- one of which is on an entirely separate campus... and was completed several years ago.

This corrupt mfer is beyond ironic.

You're too kind; he and his family and monkey court, are utterly corrupted, as badly as in some third world countries run by dictators. But he also is a suspected pedophile, and:

  • Philanderer - he cheats on his wives repeatedly, boldly and openly

  • Racist - He admitted, in court, to racially profiling and denying tenancy to black people in NYC

  • Deadbeat - we've known for decades he doesn't pay his bills. Thousands of lawsuits about it

  • Rapist - adjudicated by a court of law

  • Serial sexual assaulter - admitted this, in his own words on the Access Hollywood tapes

  • Voyeur - admits to entering dressing rooms to ogle young women, teens and children in the nude for personal gratification

  • Draft dodger - nobody can deny that one

  • Anti-veteran - has said, unprompted, that he thinks veterans are suckers and losers

  • Tax evader - guilty in court AND has admitted he dodges taxes because "that's what smart people do"

  • Fraudster - guilty in court

  • Felon - 34 times

  • Adjudicated insurrectionist (Judge Wallace in Colorado Court and later Colorado Supreme Court).

Recently I've learned that he may have been witness to a baby being murdered and having basically hushed it. But I'm not sure if that is confirmed.

It's also been reported that likes killing and that he tortured and murdered a litter of puppies. Edit - I had a link but the transcript seems to have been removed, looking for an updated link

Sadly your list is not even complete. He might be the one of the worst people on the planet and will make it into the history books as doing more damage to the US and western influence than any enemy ever has.

Several years ago I read an article about how the white house was falling into disrepair and was in need of a major renovation. Things like wiring needed an overhaul because a lot of it was 50+ years old. It kind of was becoming a dump because Presidents didn’t want to spend too much on the White House because of optics. Now Trump is rebuilding a third of it at an exorbitant expense and sticking up tacky gold plaster shit everywhere else, yet the same underlying disrepair likely remains…

Is espionage even necessary? The world leaders that Trump has the best relationship with were pretty much our enemies until he came in. Except Iran, I guess.

Besides that, he allowed Musk to just waltz in and steal data from wherever the he'll he wanted.

I'm pretty sure all any world leaders need to do is compliment and maybe pay a couple millions and he would giddily give them access to whatever information they want.

In fact, most of the people in this "administration" could probably be paid off to just give up any secrets they possess.

Just talked to two trumper “friends” about this and their response to me was “do you really care?” And then they started laughing like it was insane to care

If the rushed and botched job of the reflecting pool should teach us anything, future administrations will need to fix a whole lot of things in the WH.

There’s no way they get anywhere near to finishing this before the midterms, the goal is September 2028 though so definitely a valid concern in the next presidential election.

Not to say there won’t be attempts to steal the midterms, just that the White House “renovations” don’t factor into it.

I dunno, he might be able to hide under a pile of drywall for a while if needed. Hopefully a heavy enough pile to do us all a favor.

He’ll claim the WH is his now because of personally funded projects then hole up there with military protection. Anyone pretending he’ll leave voluntarily is certifiably insane

Guaranteed it was a no bid contract which is against all rules with public money. That and no permits have been applied for.

Everyone does recognize that even if this monstrosity is “finished” you’re going to be spending millions more fixing it when it’s discovered they cut a billion corners and nothing is up to code.

Right?

I bet in a few years it will be uncovered that this construction has so many construction errors it has to be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. Trump as horrible track record in real estate.

And when it is torn down they'll find many different Russian surveillance devices.

The british destroyed the whitehouse in the war of 1812, in 2025-2026 a different monarchist did it again.

Whats the breaking point? Its not corruption, or criminality. Its not bad leadership, or economics. Its obviously not a lack of respect to America and its history. When the fuck do Americans give that rebel yell and say enough is enough?

u/ThePopDaddy Aug 05 '26

They can't say that they're wrong now they're in too deep. He himself has said to admit you're wrong is to admit weakness. Someday he'll die and they'll just stop talking about him, hoping others will forget.

It shouls be turned into a museum. A permanent reminder of how democracy is not a guarantee, good governance is not a sure thing, and corruption and tyranny need to be challenged.

u/Teadrunkest Aug 05 '26

The White House is a museum, legally. It’s a “living museum”.

Last I heard the White House Historical Association was…pretty upset about this.

With how incompetent this administration is, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re not properly vetting every worker and that shit gets bugged.
