@Rule of Projection: He NEVER WAS a billionaire. His dad was a billionaire. He lied about his net worth all his life. He violated the emoluments clause from DAY ONE.
The post-Nixon “Republicans” under the influence of extremist propaganda and disinformation — having no true knowledge of the US Constitution and traditional American values — behave like cultists/captives/hostages with Stockholm syndrome. Republican altruism died in the Nixon administration.
The problem with Rule of Honor’s line of argument is that it’s not true. Trump is doing the presidential thing precisely because it is the lifestyle he wants. And he’s pretty much doing what he wants. He was a rich brat as a kid — a millionaire by the time he was 8 — but he blew most of the cash with a lavish lifestyle and stupid business choices, which meant he was in serious debt. Russia owns him, so all he has to do is exactly what they want (even when it looks like he’s being “hard” on Russia on the surface). But in playing president, he goes golfing more than any other president before him. He makes money off the American people while he’s playing. And he LOVES the attention he gets from the press. Positive or negative is irrelevant to him — attention is attention.
You lost him at “altruism”. And he sincerely does not like African Americans other than to be used as props in whatever manipulative narrative he is spinning.
OMG PLEASE Let’s make this about Dr. Martin Luther King! He deserves out honor and we need to spend time reflecting on what he stood for AND how far we still need to go. THANK YOU Mr. Bennet and I’m sorry your wonderful tribute was just another excuse for some Americans to display their lack of respect and true reflection on what we have become as a nation.
The Republicans have already found the darkness of destructive selfishness in their SWAMP. They enjoy the “spoils” of their crimes…the rest of the world?… not so much.

Facts that he doesn’t like aren’t lies.
P.S. Don’t forget to not reply to ROH’s thread.

I am wondering, if the current President of the United States is capable to make an informed decision.

well, we know the one chosen by the GOP and it sure ain’t the one that preserves this America that we all vow to protect as citizens.

@Rule of Honor – Aww, yes, you’re right. After all, this day is all about poor, widdle self-sacrificing Donald Trump. Oh, wait . . . that’s tomorrow

Take a step back, there is a recently fired 45 on the floor and a body, slumped in a chair.

tRump would have to have someone read the message to him and then explain it to him.
