He should not be able to get away with this. Why does he think he's so special that he doesn't have to follow the rules? How much more will he get away with?

Amie B's avatar

He just keeps plowing forward with all the bad moves he makes challenging someone to make him stop. When they don’t, he keeps pushing the limits. We definitely need an immediate response to stop it to be implemented as soon as possible. While the can gets kicked down the road, he keeps doing more damaged. Same with all these lawsuits he’s involved in. He keeps appealing to buy time. That should be addressed as well so there is a time limit. It’s never ending.

He is a white-collar crook, a Malignat Narcissist and always has been. It’s worked for his entire life. He’s bankrupted 6 companies that he owned. He cares less if he does the same to our country. He is not going to change. He needs to be booted out of office, indicted, & thrown in jail. Even then he will not change. We are dealing with a mentally ill man.

AAA's avatar

THIS man is NEVER getting better!!! He has one of the worst mental health disorders ANYONE COULD HAVE!! The Rs have known since B4 the election!! They have been hiding it from the American people!!! It’s almost impossible to hide now!!! But runt gets all the blame, while his Cabinet runs the country into the ground and robs us blind!!! WAKE UP AMERICANS!! THIS WILL NEVER GET BETTER, UNTIL WE ACT!!!

⚖️ The Lantern's Light on the Roster

The source code was open, the secret is out,

A roster of names we should worry about.

The Dialog network was built out of sight,

But hackers have brought all the shadows to light. 🔦

With Peter Thiel funding the secretive plan,

And Auren Hoffman to gather the clan.

They carefully curated a billionaire crew,

To privately alter the world that we knew. 🌐

The leak shows the leaders who govern the land,

With Scott Bessent holding the Treasury's hand.

And Dan Driscoll leading the Army's great might,

All mingling with oligarchs, hidden from sight. 🏛️

We see Cory Booker and also Ted Cruz,

With powerful governors sharing the news.

Both Wes Moore and Polis were found on the sheet,

Invited to join this exclusive retreat. 📜

The titans of money and tech took a chair,

With Elon and Schmidt breathing rarefied air.

With Kushner and Lonsdale, they gather around,

Where rules for the public are nowhere to be found. 💻

With Brockman from AI and Zilis right there,

And Larry and Robert with Treasury flair.

The crypto elites like a Silbert are seen,

All feeding the gears of the power machine. ⚙️

But look at the name that should give us a chill,

The man who has molded the courts to his will.

Yes, Leonard Leo is there in the room,

Designing a future that feels like a tomb. ⚖️

When men of great wealth meet completely unseen,

They threaten the health of our voting routine.

So keep the light steady and watch what they do,

To protect equal justice for me and for you. 🗽

He's not mentally ill, he's a crook. A criminal is as a criminal does.

He is both. A crook & a Malignant Narcissit of which there is no cure. It’s why he is so dangerous to our country.

Hell, he is better then Pelosi at this game.

This is why the Dem strategy of playing dead and just waiting for midterms….or some fairy to rescue us is an idiotic strategy.

Angry Abuelita's avatar

What part of “ they can’t do anything because the republicans are the majority” can’t you understand? Literally, while these fools are in office, we are at their mercy until the midterms. We need to take back the House AND get a supermajority in the senate to impeach him… again, and remove him from office.

S H's avatar

Clearly those that say "do something" have no idea what the constitution is about or how the separation of powers works.

Declan's avatar

Oh Fer goodness sakes...you sound like Eyore...'What do you want us to dooooo'??? Firstly, wasn't it convenient that The Idiot Democrats lost the House AGAIN vs.the SAME group that was voted the least productive congress in history. Stop making excuses for shoe salesman Jeffries & the genocidal, war criminal supporting Schumer. We'd never be in this situation if too many Dem Senators weren't compromised by the right & part of Thiels cabal. The Dems are like the NY Jets 😂, & if they were a corporation, they would have been put out of business years ago due to their freekin' incompetence. Thoughts?

S H's avatar

I hope you are a bot because your comment is absolutely ignorant in the true definition of the word.

Charles Stewart's avatar

> challenging someone to make him stop

I think Trump can get away with a lot with the immunity ruling. The surprising thing about this for me is it potentially offers leverage before the midterms.

Barry  Ellsworth's avatar

Because he gutted the FBI, the DOJ and the military just like he is destroying everything department including the Post Office, the EPA, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, etc. The man needs to be in jail now. Help me do that. http://Ellsworthforpresident.com

Saralyn Fosnight's avatar

I was thinking this morning that when we finally succeed in evicting that festering wound that is Trump out of the White House that I hope some people smarter than me will publish a book, article, pamphlet where they name all the grifts and wasted money so we can get a tally of how much money and other less tangible things these criminals have cost the American public. Something connecting all the dots and adding up the columns of figures.

Declan's avatar

With the grifting & tax cuts I'd bet it's at least 5-7 Trillion.

…yes honey, that is that dictatorship i was warning you about for YEARS and you didn’t see it coming even it was clear as day and in our face, that’s what regime does and that’s how dictatorship works, but we only have it for a year and we haven’t seen nothing yet, but what exactly EVERYONE, including democrats in congress were doing to stop this for at least FOUR YEARS biden was in WH ?  …why democrats allowed him to FINALIZE his coup that is been in progress for all these four years?  …why he and his coup organizers are not just free as a birds, but came to power after all this ?   

…it’s too late now, fascism is not an ideology it’s the way to take and hold power and once you peacefully install dictator you can not peacefully remove peacefully remove him - FACT 

Saralyn Fosnight's avatar

I just don’t see the point of wagging your finger and blaming all and sundry for the current situation. All is definitely not lost. And an accurate accounting of the damage is the first thing that must be done. Simultaneously, we must make it a point to support progressive candidates. Those namby-pambys in the middle are a waste of space. We must vote them out!

…Batman turned america into the movie, trump is a symptom not a cause, country where Superman and Batman are the national heroes and real ones are dying homeless on the streets

…this country was a shithole when they made prisons for profit, “healthcare” as the most lucrative business, where young people graduating and can’t find a appropriate job, but owe for this education leg and an arm… should i continue?

…consumerism, political ignorance, religion and lack of proper education made this country a politically impaired nation

…it didn’t happened overnight, for decades the trick was to convince american liberals they still live in a democracy, while led them to the point of no return by pulling the rug under their feet, but they still don’t fucking get it

…we created the empire and now we have an emperor

serghiy's avatar

…i was so fucking tired to write and to post it: …we can not just live in democracy from elections to elections, we have to SUSTAIN ITS PROGRESS, you can’t just SHAME PEOPLE TO VOTE, when you have TWO OPTIONS and neither of them you agreed to - it’s system failure

…it’s an utter absurd to think 340 Million people from all over the world can be represented by two parties

…TWO PARTY SYSTEM IS ONE STEP TO AUTOCRACY - FACT !

…consumerism, political ignorance and lack of proper education made this country a politically impaired people, citizens supposed to want to vote because they want to change what is wrong, and if they think it doesn’t matter what they’ll say they will not go to vote, how difficult to fucking get it ?!

What is worse are all his enablers. They are all accessories to his crimes. Everyday he does one more thing that is criminal.

TronValJean's avatar

it won’t be solved through a GOP controlled congress or SCOTUS …

Dancset's avatar

Because he has never in his life had to face consequences for his actions. Even the court case where he was convicted, the sentence has not been enforced.

Lawrence Stewart's avatar

He thinks he’s that special because America’s rules are all written by the billionaires that put him in office. They aren’t going to let him go to prison. Ever. Democracy’s over. Welcome to f@sclst America.

I’m officially depressed by this post… that bastard Trump is stealing from all of us and there is literally nothing that can be done!!! Absolutely nothing! I’m so angry right now… 92% of us black woman warned you all about this incompetent bigot and you did not listen and now our children and grandchildren will have nothing but debt to deal with!!!!

Sharon Lawrence's avatar

There is LOTS that can be done!!! I have a 3 part series already posted on anti-corruption measures. The remedies are already out there. Voters just have to make certain that all candidate for federal office know that corruption will NOT be tolerated & that we DEMAND the Democrats make fighting it JOB ONE! https://sharonlawrence.substack.com/p/issue-insights-the-post-trump-federal

Meanwhile the corrupt 6 on the Supreme Court work hard to legitimize corruption with such awful decisions as Citizens United

Scoramg's avatar

That’s a scary read list. Maybe you would like to see Crockett on the bench. Says it all

Scoramg's avatar

That is one disingenuous and ignorant statement. Kagan, Sotomayor and Jackson dont even belong. Comey may not be far behind with some of her rulings and Roberts is hardly the objective authority he thinks he is. Tell you what, I’ll reduce the court, eliminating the first three mentioned and concede those votes to the trash pile ideology of the left. That’s millions saved right there without the spectacle of insanity.

William Darian Boggs's avatar

It is discouraging, but we can't afford not to fight this. Democrats don't have control of Congress, and the Supreme Court is supporting Trump's actions.

We still have our voices. The Democrats in Congress need to use every opportunity to call this out in hearings, committees, and on the floor.

If Republican leaders try to silence the Democrats, the Democrats need to immediately flood the Internet and media with the clips of the Republicans silencing them.

Democrats need to be talking about this everywhere, to every audience. It's an election year, so the Democrats and the public, in general, need to demand Republicans answer for the corruption they are abetting and in some cases participating in.

Peter Magyar had a simple message for the people of Hungary: You are struggling financially because of Victor Orban's corruption and gross consumption.

We need to adopt that message: Donald Trump is taking your money through his corruption.

Thr money spent alone in 2025 is staggering what happened in 25;

Trump pardoned and erased debt/ adding to the defect

Trump placed children in cages/ detention jail and forced families apart.

Trump used Musk to dismantle this government

Trump did tarriff damage

Trump caused everyone to suffer more: trump killed Good and Pretti and watched ICE / CBP changed the rules of engagement.

Trump made his donors , Putin , Iran, China and how many more he handed them LEVERAGE against the USA: treason again

Trump cost many many many fed workers their wages.

Trump cost many lawyers their jobs.

Trump caused many a media to wage war with USA. Trump is the loser prez.

Trump made you and I weaker with our money, our voice our livelihood, and for Hispanics trump a dump literally took their freedome and for Haitians their actual citizenship away.

Trump in 26’ took made your vote not count!

He’s desperate trump is now openly stealing from the least and allowing the J 6+ any other person w a grip basically to fill out a form to get rich. HOW DOES ONE KNOW WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN SCAMMED?

Trump will try and do everything illegal just to see if he can. When he comes after you? HOW aaabout someone you care about? .

Dawn's avatar

Thank you for shedding the light on this government form. It will be helpful for the citizen sleuthing and independent journalists. I can only guess why Trump bothered to file this form at all: Arrogance, under the belief he is "untouchable" by the rule of law. Of course, we need to save the receipts for when we have a properly functioning Congress and House.

Lynn Van Haren's avatar

So far, he’s been correct

Shannon Bloom's avatar

Anyone who thought the GOP hasn't been working for unfettered access to the largest Treasury on the globe, the US Treasury, since 1980 Reagan and the trickle down economics, hasn't been paying attention. Trump is just the logical conclusion to a long-term 45 year con that has been ever so successful.

Debra Sabatini Hennelly's avatar

Thank you for your meticulous work in keeping us informed!

I can imagine the level of outrage you must feel, given your dedicated work in government service to uphold the rules and honor the public trust. We’ve grown up with some sense of honor attributed to the office of the POTUS, so this kind of self-dealing and looting would have been unimaginable before this guy took this office.

I’ve spent the last 30+ years of my legal career working in ethical leadership and corporate compliance. I can only count on one hand the number of times I dealt with “corruption happening in plain sight” that wasn’t attributable to ignorance of the law/rules.

This guy just doesn’t care, and the traditional backstops that can counter the arrogance that drives this behavior (“the rules don’t apply to me”) have failed.

In the corporate context, the potential for consequences creates some deterrent that most leaders care about (from the shame of losing the respect of employees or clients to losing their job; the personal and financial devastation of criminal liability; and, a negative impact on their company).

But there are no potential consequences that this guy cares about, except maybe impeachment and conviction. So flipping the House and Senate seems to be the route to addressing this corruption.

USA has been deemed UNTRUSTWORTHY BY GLOBAL PARTNERS!

South Korea paid trump admin BILLION$ for US Military weapons October 2025. Trump kept delaying the delivery. Now TRUMP GAVE ALL SKOREA SUPPLY TO THE IRAN WAR TROOPS! And never refunded SKorea! Trump WANTS North Korea to take South Korea!!!

Russia and China LOVE when USA puts all their military in the Middle East!
