Why the hell should we pay for his half-assed trip to the Super Bowl?!

Expand full comment

Brenda, we are just getting started with us paying for his presidency in both currency and emotions.

Unfortunately we are going to be in for a rough ride. I’m feeling it. We have to be prepared for the unexpected disruption in the supply chain of things that are essential…food, potable water, health needs, etc.

Expand full comment

You're right and I don't think rough ride is a strong enough description.

We are suffering from their ( our 2 " leaders" ???) brain fog.

You're telling me that Trump speaks the truth and defends our laws and freedoms is that correct? Let's address this piece by piece. He stands up for his rights. That's true. He stands up FOR HIS rights and no one else's. Fair judicial process. He thinks it's fair only when a ruling is in his favor. He calls ruling not in his favor a witch hunt. During his cases when he would come out and speak to the press, he would whine and complain like a spoiled child, which in many ways he still is. I can fact-check almost anything he says and find out that he's exaggerated, embellished or flat out lied. I didn't forget he lied over 30,000 times while in office. He recently said we rank 40th in education and that's why we don't need the Dept. of Education. That figure was a lie, we rank about 18th. He defends our laws. He's breaking them. How is he doing that when many of his EOs are illegal and are now being stopped by judges? He defends or freedoms. Give me an example of how he's doing that. Let's start with free speech. He's baring any media outlet from press conferences, like the AP, if they don't agree with him like Fox does. If he does that with the press, how long before we citizens lose the right to speak? I'm a native NYer, who's been aware of what he done now for about 40+ years. No one knows him better than a NYer. Most of MAGA only know him from the tv show "The Apprentice". Recently the crew of the show are now speaking since their NDAs have expired. They've said their main focus on the show was to make him look good, including successful. I was a bank branch manager in the '80s/'90s when he declared bankruptcy on 6 casinos/hotels he built in Atlantic City, NJ. I had contactors as customers and saw the pain and anguish he caused them by not paying his bills. That's much, much different than watching it on the news or reading about it in the paper. This should give you a pretty good idea

why I don't consider him to be my president. I didn't like him before he ran in 2015 and his presidencies have confirmed my feelings.

The super buffoon ruined the Super Bowl. He has also destroyed the civil service. My partner was fired from their DEI career: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/jim-acosta-substack-defend-democracy

For what it’s worth, I’m so sorry to hear that.

Expand full comment

Not surprised

Expand full comment

Damn good question. All he aligns himself with are the wealthy. But wait..the not so wealthy are starting to get mad…really mad. Karma is coming to FELON. Let’s throw him out the airlock and fodder with him as he gasps for air and Adderall. The orange turd.

Wait. Felon

Good eye!!!!

It's about time people wake up!

Expand full comment

Whenever he shows his face to an unvetted crowd, in a conservative show of disrespect we can throw eggs....well maybe not. Still have my felt pink hat standing by though.

Expand full comment

Too expensive to throw eggs! Throw dog/cat/human shit instead.

Expand full comment

He is like the brat who is given free range in public to trample everything in his path with no consequences.

Expand full comment

Take out the word 'like' and I 100% agree with this.

Expand full comment

Worse he had bimbo barbie with him.

Expand full comment

Are you referring to Melanie?

Expand full comment

😀😃😄😁😆

Expand full comment

He probably didn't even watch the game

Expand full comment

Same reason we pay for any president to travel, whatever reason they choose.

Expand full comment

Usually in an official capacity. He is joyriding at the taxpayers expense.

Expand full comment

Official, yes. This is just another ripoff to glorify himself and to spout nonsense.

Expand full comment

we are paying for a lot more than just this trip.

Expand full comment

I'd like a tally on how much we pay for his golf outings.

Expand full comment

As a Canadian, he has no approval here. We said, «  Sir…you need to be in jail ».

Expand full comment

Want to move to Canada he’s a embarrassment to our country please don’t think we are all like him

Expand full comment

So do I! We are NOT all like the Orange Felon

Expand full comment

Please do. My husband is an American, voted for Clinton, Obama, Biden and Harris. The level of sheer stupidity at the cultish worship and people fearing this orange felon is beyond rational understanding.

Expand full comment

"Sir" 😂😂😂

Expand full comment

That’s his “tell.” Whenever he’s fabricated a story, they always call him “sir.”

Expand full comment

This guy has major issue with self respect. If he didn't, he would not need honorifics like "sir".

Expand full comment

Absolutely We DID! That sick narcissist thinks he’s God! Jeezus! The only and I mean ONLY thing he cares about is getting adoration for himself. He’s quite sickening.

Expand full comment

He needs to go to prison in Mexico , he’s a embarrassment to our Country

Expand full comment

Or Guantanamo

Expand full comment

It all boils down to this:

"When Donald and Elon Musk talk about the "billions and hundreds of billions of fraudulent expenses," what they are really telling you is how much money they’re going to steal from us."

Expand full comment

Finally, somebody has said what I've been thinking, thanks for putting it into words. He'll fill his coffers.

Expand full comment

And it will never be able to satiate their greed.

Expand full comment

Nope, with those two, the greed has no limits.

Expand full comment

Elon has increased his fortune by $134 million since Inauguration Day. trump has also increased his wealth.

Expand full comment

the tariffs are moneys the government will collect to finance the tax cuts for billionaires. while tanking the economies of the world as a side effect. there is no limit to their greed and cruelty.

Expand full comment

I didn't really watch the Super Bowl because of the Orange Menace. But I saw the halftime show. It rocked. Samuel L. was awesome as well dressed up as Uncle Sam. But the reports of the Felon being booed, classic.

Expand full comment

Did they really “Boo” him? I must have missed that part of it!

Expand full comment

I think it was when he realized it wasn't a friendly crowd, he left, to jeers and even shouts of "traitor"

Expand full comment

GREAT!! Thanks!

Expand full comment

Major RESPECT to those who booed the 34 times adjudicated FELON!

I'm sure there were other millions we don't know about, booing them on their TVs at home.

Expand full comment

It was fabulous! Should be able to find it on an internet search.

Expand full comment

Thanks!

Expand full comment

They did

Expand full comment

I don’t know if it is true or not but international feeds were said to have heard the booing but Fox substituted cheering audio for the US. I never know these days what to believe. I get my news from BBC and CBC.

Expand full comment

Hahaha i was too busy loudly saying F you I missed the boos!!!

Expand full comment

It was awesome.

Jon Baptiste did an amazing job! Freedom!!!🎵🎵🎵

Do NOT be terrified. That's exactly what he / they want. Get in their faces. Call out their LIES and their destruction!

Expand full comment

Agreed!

Canadians who usually come down here for the winter canceled their flights because of Trump but they sent a message saying any Americans who want to leave the United States would be welcome in their country.

Expand full comment

Great to know that good people like Canadian people exist in our current world.

Expand full comment

Several of my relatives have been going to Arizona for decades in the winter. All are quitting. Selling their homes and RVs in Mesa and Lake Havasu. It's beautiful scenery, history, wildlife, but ever since 2016 they have been seeing it with different eyes.

Expand full comment

Very Trumpie down here. I walk around carefully and don’t engage.

Expand full comment

from what I've heard from many friends, the vast majority of arizona folks voted for him. Own it, folks.

My father sold his time share in Florida........

They are running radio ads now to buy Canadian products

If i see USA in the grocery store..........just keep walking.....

Expand full comment

Boycotting American goods hurts the working people not Trump’s oligarchs.

Expand full comment

It is part of countering the tariffs. Canadians are getting hit with higher prices........so we go elsewhere.

This will happen all accross the world as fascist Trump goes even more insane.

Workers who voted for Trump...need a wake up call. Why should we support them??? The streets need to be filled with thousands of protesters 2025 is here.....

Maybe avoid Amazon.

Thinking about it very deeply.

Not that simple.

You’re welcome here in California!

Thanks CA! Just sent a check to your fire disaster fund. The next revolution is in the works to fight the Orange Menace.

He’s a asshole

An actual asshole would be embarrassed to be called Donald Trump.

Expand full comment

Yes. Assholes deserve better!

To quote a favorite movie, (he was born an asshole and just got bigger) road house 🏠.

And a few things that may not be allowed on Substack!@##$%^*

Expand full comment

How can a man who’s not even barely coherent insist anything? It’s understandable that his cult believes his every word - whether pronounced correctly or not - but the media? Does not the media depend on coherence?

Expand full comment

I thought so, but they have been taken over by the MAGA billionaires

Expand full comment

Yes, of course! What’s good for Bezos is good (only) for Trump/Musk and the Billionaire Boyz.

Expand full comment

where have you been, Dave? Mainstream media has given him a pass for years. Every lie, every threat, every rant has been treated with reverance. They are complicit in the destruction of our democracy.

Expand full comment

Yep. They have while doing their best to denigrate Joe and Kamala whilst giving Trump pass after pass after pass.. Their public capitulation has merely been the visible sign of submission. Our legacy media capitulated long ago.

Expand full comment

Guess I “gone fishing” …

Expand full comment

No. The legacy media believes in profit. In order to keep viable and enjoy freedom from illegal harassment, they will grovel to the new regime. Look at Bezos, Zucker, the guy from the California paper, all the rest of the mainstream media. Remember how he kept talking about “fake news?” These have all gone over to the other side. It happened almost IMMEDIATELY! We have to stay plugged in to the alternative sources, support them as they are threatened. The Trump reich will stop at NOTHING.

Expand full comment

Exactly. I don't subscribe to or consume legacy media in any form, but then that became true as I found alternate news sources like Robert Reich Mary L. Trump, Meidas+ and the totally awesome Tennessee Brando all of whom have Substacks BTW.

Expand full comment

Not for a while now. They've been owned.

Expand full comment

Thanks for every word. Also thanks for disguising his voice. We can be proud that the courts are stepping up. Yes also as a Canadian we want him fired.

Expand full comment

Fantastic work, Mary. You’re right on top of the facts

Expand full comment

I also appreciate the sped-up voice, as it gives us a better idea of DJT’s vulgar vacuousness.

Expand full comment

Keep preaching Mary! We are behind you and we see it the same way! Unbelievable.

Expand full comment

He's so amazingly comfortable, straight up lying on camera live to the world. It' so easy to prove he's lying by Goggling what he says.

Expand full comment

Having the unfortunate experience of living with a chronic narcissit.........telling lies is the heatbeat that keeps them going.........I was left bankrupt and had to run away to another city.

They do not have one thimblefull of empathy for others.

The diaper claude rapist will destroy the country if he does not get his way.

I can say no more online..........he needs to go.........

Expand full comment

It's because he's never been held accountable. As far back as the 2016 campaign, media should have stopped him with every lie he spewed. They stayed silent, and oftentimes actually thought it was humorous. The 2016 debates should have been stopped immediately, when he bullied, lied, and attempted to intimidate. Moderators did NOTHING.

Expand full comment

I agree whole heartedly. The GOP build a monster and just like Dr. Frankenstein, now they can't control it. Yesterday he said judges have no control over what he does. Truthfully if he disobeys the judges, I'd yank him out of the White House and throw him in jail which is where he rightfully belongs.

Expand full comment

He wasted $30,000,000 to go to the Super Bowl and he left at halftime. He was well BOOED by the attendees. Trump is a melting moron.

Expand full comment

It’s but a drop in the bucket compared to how much Trump will soak us taxpayers for his trips to Mar a Lago and his other golf resorts.

Expand full comment

How do you find out this info? Is there a site I can view?

Expand full comment

MEIDAS does daily videos on YouTube. I subscribe to avoid the adverts. It is well worth the price. Truth plus top legal minds on camera. Ben and his team are so professional.

Expand full comment

The convicted felon-elect and MAGA act like all of these agencies were created by Biden to steal money for himself and his family. If I'm not mistaken his finances were reviewed during Hunter's case and nothing was found. These agencies for the most part were created decades ago by bipartisan agreement. Their purposes were also agreed upon by both parties. I would imagine they all have budgets which can be reviewed by legislators on both side of the aisle. If there was deceit and stealing going on before this, why didn't the GOP raise a red flag?

Bob, you are a normal thinking person like the rest of us on here, the Stepford Wives following him are NOT!!!!

Precisely.

Braggadocio is nauseating

Wow. He’s such a prolific liar

Expand full comment

Ahhh yes, it's true that every noise out of his piehole is easily proved to be a lie!

Expand full comment

You absolutely know he’s going to lie when he uses the term “sir” in his fish stories.

Expand full comment

Yep. An even easier way to know if he's lying--if his lips are moving!

Expand full comment

and has been, for many years. No one called him out. What the hell is so scary about calling a lie a lie???????????/

Expand full comment

Probably his litigious nature.

He’s delusional and worse narcissist personality disorder on top of it. Seriously how can our Congress SCOTUS LET THIS GO ON?
