Trump has never had a job in his whole fucking life.

He got his start on daddy's money. He has grifted his way through life, failing to pay lawyers and other employees what he owes them. He has bilked people out of their money and laundered money. He's never had a coworker he couldn't get rid of or a business relationship he couldn't take to court.

He's played every game in the book, but I'm willing to bet he's never had an employer or a manager, never depended on a paycheck, never paid into social security, never had to file for unemployment. All of these features of American life are a complete mystery to him.

He keeps saying "The American People want to work" - but the truth is The American People want to live. We don't live to work, we work to live. I am working from home, and its boring, but my desire to be safe and healthy vastly surpasses my desire to go back to a normal work situation. There are activities I miss, but I don't miss them so much that I would risk my life or the lives of others.

He has no idea what the American People want. As much as we may like our careers (or not) the only people who are dying to get back to work are people who are desperate to pay the bills or have money for food.

So he has no business speaking on behalf of the American people. He is completely divorced from the reality of American life, except for the lives of those CEOs at the top who can do their jobs without leaving their homes or incurring any personal risk whatsoever. If you have enough money to isolate yourself indefinitely you don't know what most people are going through.

So fuck you, Donald Trump. Don't endanger the lives of Americans. You don't share our values, and you don't know us at all.



Oh yeah, and unlike the rest of us he's NEVER PAID TAXES that he can show us.

And am concerned we're seeing putin attack us real time using trump with his powers to undermine our Democracy , and weaken us , and to get his revenge against us using compromised trump and many republicans compromised with him now in Congress. trump and the gop have promoted knowingly false propaganda put out by putin , and that should concern us all now.

It enrages me when he says this. When he takes the opportunity to speak for all of us, having absolutely no clue as to what the majority of us want.

I have made the mistake of checking out FB and a few other sites and it sickens me to see right-wingers talk about how Democrats and Liberals just want to stay home because they are lazy and don't want to work and all the other lies and bullshit they post about us and the politicians on our side, while praising Trump and other right-wing politicians.

I can only handle about five minutes over there and then I have to shut it down because they are all just parroting the Fox News/Trump lies and propaganda and there is no convincing them of any other truth than the one that they choose to believe, no matter how many facts people place in front of them.

Donald, quit telling US what the American people want. You don't have a clue, never have and never will.

Maybe you should go visit Elmhurst Hospital in New York and see that people want to live.

It's not a job, per se, however.

It is a purpose.

The purpose is to destroy, to bring down what others have built.

He is very successful in this endeavor.

“Really big checks. $3,000.” Like that is a lot of money. That is just stupid coming from a guy who has never known what it is like to be poor or living pay check to paycheck. That amount of money will be gone in a flash by the time rent or mortgages are paid and assorted other obligations like utilities and food. It is an insult to Americans to suggest that these checks will make it all ok again. And in addition.....it is NOT his money he is giving away, but you’d think he was opening his own wallet to help out. My loathing of this festering sore grows greater every day!

...said fuck stick would be the guest of honor of some prison on multiple convictions for theft, rape, and murder.

The only reason that fuck isn't cooling his jets in a supermax is all the money daddy gave him on a silver fucking spoon.

Hadn't been for that fuck Putin this would be an ordinary March under President Clinton, with baseball starting up and us getting to the regional semifinals right about now. Fuck Putin. Fuck Trump. And fuck everyone who voted for that orange fuck.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to cram a goddamn fucking fifty in the fucking swear jar.

is fucking white trash with money. (I don't got no money. So I am merely fucking white trash.)

The legacy rich, probably more likely than not, have never worked a day in their lives. They may have a token job title, but actually work??? Nah.

Growing up in the south, I was always told that you can tell if someone has ever had to work, as in physical labor, by looking at their hands. The hands tell the story.

The fucking turd WAS legacy rich, until he lost it all, and is now Vladimir Putin's fucking boy toy. (SOOO sorry for that visual....)

Let me add $50 to your swear jar....

So did Mussolini...and we know how that ended


When people start losing their loved ones, it will set into the blame game. This is why initially tRump was trying to blaming it on Chinese.

He will have nobody but himself and the republicons who carried him to blame. This is on them.

The death, destruction, dismantling and the unpatriotic greed, on all of the republicans.

28. he's like a mob boss...
Fri Mar 27, 2020, 09:12 AM
Mar 2020

he streamlined the organization (US government, got rid of what he regards as fluff), made sure all the folks left, listened and praised him (you're a great boss), all the decisions should be made by the mob boss (him), he got the repukes to get in line - listen to me, I'm the boss, he don't care about no one - everyone is expendable, he has no empathy, but needs constant praise, needs his underlings to do what he wants & he wants them to fight with each other to be his #1 underling, he loves a free-for-all for these underlings to drop to their knees to worship the mob boss (him). To his mind, he is so successful, so rich, so powerful, so intelligent, so admired (MAGAts, Faux News, his rich friends).

so, why would he care about the American people? he believes the American people voted him in as Pres, so the American people are like his underlings - they are in awe of him - his intelligence, his success, his richness, etc. His massive brain allows him to take over the US democracy for ALL citizens. What he says, goes.

How surreal an existence his was..he lived in TT penthouse and his commute to work for many years was literally in a short elevator trip. No exposure to real life. If he ventured out it was in a limo, being dropped off wherever he wanted.

Have you seen the 4 pt documentary on him on Netflix. It's excellent. Once he established himself he called all shots and controlled his image masterfully. Why he never answers a question now. Why he turns reporter's microphones down.

It's driving him mad.

The optics of him at leisure, golfing, would be terrible.

He's trapped in the WH.

Since he never works, he's bored out of his gourd.

All hotels in US are shuttered. Including his, heh-heh.

I think he will start to become even more insane and anxious very soon.

He's quarantined too! This is the real reason he wants it to end by Easter.
