"I can just see the fake headlines," Trump said. "President Trump is talking about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump."

"But I said, ‘I don't give a damn, I'm gonna say it: We're making a frickin fortune,’" he added.

By "US" he means himself of course. L'État c'est moi. He does not have a concept of the US as a state or cares about anything of that kind. Mobsters only care about their own financial interests.

    let's have fun reading about the Rhode Island Banking Crisis caused by, you guessed it, a mobster in control of people's money and fraudulent "insurers" securing the funds.

    edit:

    these guys also came to prominence in the 80s, citing Trump's deals in NY as a framework for how to use political connections to make money flow from out of the public pockets and into private accounts.

    The kleptocrats are the only ones making a fortune. Americans are all broke.

    How can a non-wealthy trump supporter hear this and continue to support him?

    He's pissing in your fucking face.

    Because as long as he is pissing in minorities faces too, it's acceptable for them.

    It is important to clarify that they are hateful morons. The "hate"-part is doing a lot of work. You can be a moron and not be a Trump supporter, but it is very rare to see a hateful moron who isn't one.

    That's right. The "editorial" for small town papers around here, which are mostly owned by super rich people now is a satire bit about the editor making fun of himself wanting to be king, to try and make fun of the no kings movement. Nothing of actual substance ever enters conservative owned media outside of them making fun of it so their base sadly thinks they are being clever by rejecting opposing views.

    The US is making such a fortune that its national debt is larger than it has ever been. But Trump only cares for Trump.

    You are not included in the "we" that's "making a fortune", trump voters. You are the we who are paying for trump to rob you, still lose money in the end and call it profit.

    It baffles me that people see this guy getting increasingly unhinged the farther into his dementia he gets, and they just shrug. Congress could remove him anytime they want too.

    I listened to an (american) podcast and on the side they talk a lot about pefophiles/guns because it was relevant. The point was always like: man pedophiles shold all just hang on the road, so other pedophiles would be scared. "When i was young my dad told me that they just made pedophiles dissapear." And he was awefully proud of that. There was A LOT of talk about what they would do with a pedophile. Meanwhile they have the most famous pedophile in charge of their country, but not a single mention of that.

    Here I wish they would sentence every member in Florida and U.S. congress to prison who read the report on Matt Gaetz traffickimg and raping a minor to prison for 20 years no parole. Every one of them is an accessory to raping a child at this point. If any of them voted to support the death penalty those ones should get it.

    All of their families should be ashamed of their names for generations.

    (Oh and for the record, it was read in U.S. congress, so all of them live in the district of the death penalty, they are the ones who didn't vote it out... They should hope they had the chance to do so, or proposed to get rid of it)

    And still in most states, the elections are "neck and neck."

    He has DOUBLED the national debt, but he thinks we're making a fortune. He's like the guy who thinks he's rich because he can buy anything he wants with a credit card.

    The "fake headlines" that say the thing you just said...?

    Every day I'm in awe that this man made it anywhere near the oval office. Just completely unabashed stupidity comes out of his mouth constantly. Even if it wasn't horrendously crooked (which it is), or criminal (which it also is), or callous, it would just be fucking stupid .

    Advisers told me not to say it

    is the right "build up" before the punch line.

    He's bragged about destroying the world through Iran war with the same brag before. Also adding, that destroying world is good for America because of high US oil production and US doesn't need Straight of Hormuz.

    So there's always been a tails we lose, heads we deserved to lose all along, plan for the war.

    It's because his usage of 'fake' doesn't mean what one might think. He simply means a headline that he doesn't like.

    The already wealthy are getting richer but not the majority from this. This same pattern happens with the right-wing politics all over and in history, it's not new, yet the rubes keep choosing it and are worse off each time for it. Keep hurting yourselves.

    USA is also making a fortune on the Russian war on Ukraine. And Trump doesn't give a shit about Ukrainians dying every day.
    Trump is a psycho or rather malignant narcissist which is even worse than psycho- and sociopath combined.
    And Americans are evil as a country for voting him in.
