Trump Corruption
From the Las Vegas Sun:

Two weeks ago, The Washington Post broke a bombshell story about a credible allegation of bribery involving the 2016 election of Donald Trump, Egypt’s dictator Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, and a mysterious $10 million all-cash withdrawal from an Egyptian state-run bank just five days before Trump became president — and adopted a more friendly aid policy toward the Middle Eastern nation.

We know Trump — reluctantly, at the urging of aides — did inject $10 million into his campaign in its final days. The Post said a Trump campaign official later told the FBI the money was structured as a loan that could be repaid to Trump. We now know about the Egyptian withdrawal of nearly $10 million in American cash, in line with the intelligence tip. And we know Trump cozied up to Sisi and even called him “my favorite dictator” before releasing nearly $1.4 billion in military aid to Egypt that had been held up because of its human rights abuses.

Bob Menedez was convicted of taking bribes from Egypt, and rightly so. But Bill Barr and others have fought hard to protect Trump. This is far from Trump’s only crime—he hasn’t even been indicted for this one, yet.

Why am I unsurprised?

But of course his acolytes will just say it’s the evil MSM hell bent on destroying America’s new messiah.

Medal of Freedom
Former President Donald Trump on Thursday said the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which honors civilians, “is actually much better” than the Medal of Honor, because losers and suckers who receive the nation’s highest military decoration are often wounded or awarded it posthumously.

Ukraine War
“I said to Putin, ‘Don’t do it, Vladimir.’ And I told him things that what I would do. And he said, ‘No way.’ And I said, ‘Way.’ It’s the last time we had the conversation. He would have never done. I get along very well with him.”

[Then Putin said “schwiiing” and I replied, “we’re not worthy.”]

“Trump is making that up.” Former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton

Trump meant that you wouldn't have to vote again, because of the prophecy that Jesus would return. This was originally expected in 2023, but the prophecy expert miscounted. No doubt his mistake is less than four years, but that was only because of people like Julius Caesar and Pope Gregory messing with the calendar since the prophecies were written. So why are you picking on Trump for his strong and certain faith?

Of course you were deleted! Free speech only applies to those whom Musk considers worthy of it.
