He would've been a GREAT televangelist ! The spotlight, cameras, crowds taking in almost every word, MONEY from the gullible, young secretaries that he could sexually harass..... He'd make Joel Osteen look sincere.
Oh my… The Ferengi I long forgot about them. Devious, meddlesome, back stabbing, and thoroughly enjoyable to watch on Star Trek. I loved that show. That had to be early 1990s.
Unbelievable. I hope they get that money back rather than just fining him. He is such a crook. Despicable human being. Mary, thanks for your service to us. I know it must take a toll.
I can't wait until he's either in prison or dead. And really, I'd like to see him in prison ASAP, followed, in, say a month, by death. His punishment is needed to set an example, but it will be a better world when he's no longer in it.
I have a cousin who has NOT expressed whether she likes Fathead # 45 or not. She has very little critical thinking ability & is a sucker for anyone waving a flag or holding a Bible. Gullible.
More like 5 years or more while the "evidence" is gathered, find the "right" person to bring the charges & most important of all, it's got to cost LOTS!
We could just do a reenactment of the French Revolution & lop off some Republican heads. Even in democracies, traitors paid for their crimes. SHARPEN MADAME GUILLOTINE !
Yes, why does he (seemingly) keep getting by with these things. There must be a lot of people out there who have been penalized for much less. He is no one...a lying crook who managed to work it to the WH.....nothing more!

Alice R - I read excerpts (I think from Mary Trumps book) telling of Grand Daddy Trump Sr... and how he made his millions...horribly corrupt, rascist (as a ‘landlord’ kicked all the African Americans out of this Apartment Bldg when he bought it...it was a small town in Northern Washington state. Where did those people find housings in a small town like that? This man’s son (Orange man)was rewarded by his father the more despicable & ruthless he got👿 Orange man immulated a mobster friend of his father, a trait he uses to this day. Howard Stern (former Orange man’s friend) has shared, Donald never really wanted to be President of America, he was really going for Highly Visible Press, to impress Producers of “The Apprentice”so they’d reconsider shutting the show down. Surprise, Orange man was elected. I’m convinced any good that happened in his Administration was due to smart/talented people hired to work with him.
Was that spelling of the last name with the capitol R in the original? Because it really bothers me when people conflate an oft attractive secondary sex characteristic with one of the most vile H. sapiens to ever walk the planet. Just as it bothers me when people use any body part, particularly those associated with sex, as an epithet.
Stop being nice! I used to be quiet but RUMP IS A VERY GOOD NAME FOR A LYING, RAPIST, STEALER OF "OUR US SECRET DOCS) AND SHOWS THEM TO EVERYONE IN THE BATHROOM!
No it's not. It's a body part, and one that is often attractive. Would you want him referred to with the V-word? He is every bad thing you say he is, and no body part should be associated with such a creep. Is nothing sacred?!
At least he didn't steal from St. Jude's this time. I think that the sumbitch should be kicked in the face to the point that he sneezes through his anus !
He has to SCREW ON his cap before golfing ! I've heard that Biff Tannnen from Back To The Future was modeled on DJT, but I can't see it. Thomas F. Wilson AKA Biff won't confirm or deny.
Thank you, Mary. I know it must be hard for you to report this about a member of your family but .... bless you! Haven’t heard anything from the media - yet! ps - a loyal subscriber 💙
So frequently, I hear "How can his devoted followers STILL believe everything he says? I just don't understand it." Nobody does. The crucial thing is to realize that some things cannot be understood. Just because it defies all logic doesn't mean that it can be understood or changed. Reasoning with people who believe and love their delusion won't work.
Thinking there are many people out there who think like he does but just haven’t acted on it. It gives them great pleasure and release to be s follower....they are able to “come out of the closet”
Their numbers are large enough that the fact we find it incredulous doesn’t mean much to them.
This is a very old problem, as shown by the story of Eve being deceived by the “snake,” really a cunning rebel angel. Why did she listen? Satan is the master liar. You could imagine him saying, “you know any snakes that can talk? Just one nibble” (showing her a fruit with a bite out) “see what it did for me.”
Whether you take the story literally or not, it shows that listening to deceivers causes a world of hurt. And it goes way, way back.
Jesus called the Devil “the father of the lie,” and all deliberate liars are his children. That includes preachers who preach what people want to hear even though they know it is untrue.
True, you have to keep it simple, and use their stated holy loyalty against them, with a smile. But it can only work if you know scripture well enough.
And my placeholder reply didn’t work. I only got a notification when you replied, not when I did. Substack must definitely add a “your comments” link (it could be on your home page) so a post can be found again by its writer. I’m the kind that forgets where I was the moment I turn around.
I'm Tweeting this post at the NYAG (and Rachel, and Ronan Farrow)
Her office moved *real* fast when he was trying to transfer assets down to Delaware when he wasn't supposed to
Mary, I know it's no consolation for family chaos, but I have no doubt you're going to end up with at least one Pulitzer or Nobel
❤❤
It should be a LARGE award.
The "American Patriot Award" would fit nicely on her mantle. ♥
YOOOOGE.
TFG could've been a YUUUUUGE Ferengi on Star Trek : TNG.
I don’t think the Ferengi would've had him, do you?
You have to be good at business to be a Ferengi
True.
He would've been a GREAT televangelist ! The spotlight, cameras, crowds taking in almost every word, MONEY from the gullible, young secretaries that he could sexually harass..... He'd make Joel Osteen look sincere.
Didn't Stephen King model that Randall Flagg character on him in The Stand, a little bit?
I know Robert Zemeckis said alt-Biff Tannen was modeled on him in BTTF II
Oh my… The Ferengi I long forgot about them. Devious, meddlesome, back stabbing, and thoroughly enjoyable to watch on Star Trek. I loved that show. That had to be early 1990s.
Well, Donny would fit in with the Ferengi. He'd be a LOUSY Klingon.
The Klingons would eat him for brekkie
Agree. Klingons fight. Ferengi pretend.
Mary gets a prize from me for being noble from me.
Unbelievable. I hope they get that money back rather than just fining him. He is such a crook. Despicable human being. Mary, thanks for your service to us. I know it must take a toll.
I've said it before : If Nixon was still alive & wanted to run as a contender against TFG, Tricky Dick would STILL get my vote.
I hope someone finally does something!!!!!
They'll THINK ABOUT IT for 4. 5 years.....
Yeah. Ugh.
Maybe Jabba the Trump will choke on a Chicken McNugget before then. I don't wish illness, serious hardship or death on ANYONE, except him.
I can't wait until he's either in prison or dead. And really, I'd like to see him in prison ASAP, followed, in, say a month, by death. His punishment is needed to set an example, but it will be a better world when he's no longer in it.
Me either except for the orange jesus and my ex roommate. They would be great friends

"That didn't happen"
"I didn't do it."
"If it happened, it was a mistake."
"It's my money, and I can do what I want with it."
"I did it at the advice of my bankers, my accountant, my lawyers, my barber, and the kid who waited on me at McDonald's."
"You people are thugs and I'm going to get even with you when I become president in my new orange suit."
"I actually obtained the money to distribute to all my MAGA supporters. Each one of you will surely get $.10."
He's brilliant at lying to the rubes ain't he?
He loves the poorly educated.
👋🤫🤫🤫😅😅😅😅😅
Do you write his speeches?😂
Thanks so much Mary for your sane, intelligent revelations🥰
When is enough, enough?
With Trumpasaurus there IS NO BOTTOM to the barrel.

I know it's exhausting but we need to see him be rendered bankrupt
Mary, thank you for this information.
I hope Donald is JAILED for this!
I am already a paid subscriber. 💙
My gawd, he just can't seem to stop himself from doing something underhanded, can he?
Believe it or not, his dad Fred was worse. Fred was Palpatine, DJT was Anakin.
But Fred didn’t run for national public office. Only New York had to deal with him?
The good people of NYC took one for the team, Osiris, Isis & Horus bless 'em. Fred might've been worse than his parasite prodigy Tapeworm Trump.

Mary, you're a good person. Unfortunately, your uncle is not. Making a decision to share what you know is in the public interest.
At what point does this flip from being a civil case to a criminal one? Because I'm pretty sure he's in criminal territory now.
Don't beat yourself up. I hate one of my uncles. It happens. 💜
I would really like to upgrade, but I can't right now. I'll keep reading, though.
I'm not able to upgrade now either 😕 I wish I could but a disability check only goes so far 🤷♀️
Don't I know it! 😫
Mary, is Donald FINALLY going to be thrown in jail?
Michael Steele, former RNC chair said it perfectly. "Put his (tRump) ass in jail! No ordinary person gets cut this kind of slack."
He's lurched / slithered free long enough !

Lighten up a bit

Marc Elias said exactly the same

At least he didn't steal from St. Jude's this time. I think that the sumbitch should be kicked in the face to the point that he sneezes through his anus !
If he swallowed a nail he’d shut out a corkscrew.
He has to SCREW ON his cap before golfing ! I've heard that Biff Tannnen from Back To The Future was modeled on DJT, but I can't see it. Thomas F. Wilson AKA Biff won't confirm or deny.

This is a placeholder reply that helps me find my comment later. Substack makes comments that have no reply nearly impossible to find again.
Using scripture, rightly, may be a way to cut through the deception that has ensnared those enchanted by trump. Or not.
Maybe, but these are people who have, for the most part, not read the bible themselves.

it is definitely different from any type of forum I've joined. *goes to learn it*
And the consequence will be...what??
