Trump asking supporters to fund new plane after emergency landing

I would implore my fellow Trump supporters, to dig deep and donated to get Trump a new bigger and better Trump Force One, it will be huge too?!! I signed up for $250 a month, recurring?!! I challenge Trump supporters to match this or beat it?!!

To quote a previous carnival barker, "There's a sucker born every minute."

 

If someone wants to help Trump get his new plane, go for it. If you don't want to donate, then don't. It's not taxpayer money, so in reality, it shouldn't be of any concern.

I really don't understand the purpose of some of these threads, where no one is being forced or coerced into doing something they aren't willing to do, but people find it necessary to wave it around like a flag, yet have no problem supporting ideas that would force people to do something they aren't willing to do. Perhaps someone can explain?

 

They write books and give speeches, for a price.

 

Don't forget the commencements they are very popular for. I seem to remember Obama getting a million for one.
They all do it, but they are contracted by willing people. I personally think they get too much, but someone is paying it.
Seems to be a fair tradeoff for the relatively low pay for the president. Again, they aren't stealing it or doing anything illegal.
Check out how much money famous athletes and entertainers get. Seems a little unfair for what they are getting paid to do, but that is the free market at work.

 

It's ironic how those who didn't vote for him, pay him the most mind. And then ridicule those who give him their money.

 

So True....

 

CD, are you being forced or coerced to read this thread? Or, do you find it necessary to wave your disapproval about these kind of threads around like a flag? No harm man.

That aside, Trump is still the head of the Party of Trump with a leash on the Republican party. What he does, everything he does, has an impact because he won't sit down or shut up (or go away like he said he would if he lost the election). Some of us know that he's nothing but a thief and con man and asking for money for a plane because his had to allegedly land because of engine failure is just more him constantly shaking a tin cup at his supporters.

I'm sure every one of us that has owned or leased a vehicle has experienced car trouble at some point. Do we race to the media and beg people to finance us a new vehicle when we have car trouble? No. It's not a reasonable request.

And, it's insulting given the fact that he collected millions upon millions of dollars for his delusional "widespread election fraud" but has not spent one thin dime of his OWN money toward pursing that endeavor. It's wrong of him to keep lying to people to get their money (and they all have way less than he claims to have).

I know that Trump apologists don't care about his dishonest, unethical, immoral and/or illegal shenanigans but some of the rest of us do. Maybe some of them will never consider the idea that a truly honest person doesn't have **thousands** of lawsuits, court-mandated fines, strings of fraudulent activities, repeated financial abuse cases but at some point, most rational adults, without ulterior motives for wanting him back in the Oval Office will recognize all of it isn't just BS "fake news".

 

Noooo you don't get to decide what constitutes a 'real job' Steve. We won't be falling into that trap. Former Presidents are allowed to make millions and they can make them from govt or private sources.

If you have evidence that any of the aforementioned brazenly solicited monetary contributions from the public for any purpose other than charity, or for someone else ( example asking them to please support Politician's X's campaign) please supply and we can take a look and which if any of the funds went to their own accounts or to their own direct fiscal benefit We have just seen the evidence that Donald Trump did just that.

 

No offense taken, MJ.

I rarely bother voicing my opinion on such threads, but occasionally I will. I've laughed several times, because some things posted just can't be taken seriously.

In the same vein back atcha, why did my post bother you? The continual bashing of someone who is not POTUS anymore, and (hopefully) likely won't be again, and some people just need to bring him up time and again. My additional statement stands - it seems the same people who keep bringing up a non-relevant person, laud and applaud the current POTUS when he was attempting to mandate people to receive an injection against their will. The comparison is apt, IMO.

As to this statement: "Do we race to the media and beg people to finance us a new vehicle when we have car trouble? No. It's not a reasonable request." Have you actually looked at some of the requests for funding through GoFundMe? They are astounding. And people willingly do it. Their choice, just as donating to a current or past political persona is.

Trump is slimy. If the things he did were truly illegal (they likely walk a very fine line) there would be jail time on his resume. Immoral, unethical and just down right slimy. But he's no long POTUS, so I move forward.

 

Dude, life is SO much easier if you don't take much of it seriously. Trust me, man. I would have jumped off a bridge decades ago if I didn't make myself laugh every day.

It didn't bother me. I have a need to fill in the blanks when somebody asks a direct question. First born and all. ;-0

Had he kept his promise to never be heard from again and leave the country, nobody would be sticking a microphone and camera in his face every other day. He didn't keep his promise. I needed for him to keep at least that one. ;-0

1. Trump is not irrelevant (as mentioned above).

2. Biden is not a genius (as the last 456 years he's been alive has shown).

3. Some of us want everyone on both sides to grow a pair and resign admitting they are too childish to run our country. Barring that, we just have to hold our noses and pick the least of the crazy ones and that happened to be "can't think on my feet" Biden in 2020.

And, he (or whomever has his back) made the best possible choice for VP. I have no hesitation in saying that both Rs and Ds can agree that nobody wants the smirking, laughing <whatever you want to call her> with the football. She is his best life insurance policy along with the ice cream drunkard. They might be the key to science figuring out immortality. Nobody, NOBODY, N-O-B-O-D-Y wants either one of them at the helm and I'll concede some of them think that because of misogyny and/or racism and/or ageism, but some of us don't want them because they both are useless (and the same personalities and priorities in different bodies - even white males - would warrant the same assessment).

Well, yeah. It's your opinion. Why in the world would somebody NOT think their own position is apt? LOL I didn't say it wasn't apt. I answered your question (or tried to anyway).

Nope. I have not looked at any tin cup requests online because I carefully choose who and what I will support financially.

However, the problem I have with Trump constantly begging for money is that he is constantly begging for money. Sure, there are scam artists at those begging sites and dating sites, etc.. but some of those requests are legitimate and FINITE. Trump ALWAYS has some reason he needs money from his supporters and he's always lying. It may not be fair, but I stand on the side of the wronged party regardless of the "untouchability" of those that wrong them. There is no logical reason for anyone on a fixed income to send any amount of money to a self-claimed billionaire. Sure, they can send him their money if they aren't under some kind of guardianship, but his willingness to keep lying to them and taking their money (knowing they are often scrimping or depriving themselves of their own needs to do so) is beyond horrible.

Like his fake kids' cancer "charity", fake school with no accreditations, misappropriation of inaugural funds, misrepresentation of financial solvency to obtain loans he hasn't paid back, all the employees in all his businesses that essentially worked for free when he filed bankruptcy six times, price gouging our Secret Service personnel that was forced to stay in his properties, backdoor deals with China and Russia, backdoor deals about the vaccines and all the other shady sh!t he's been doing for his entire life...it speaks to exactly he is. A con man and when that con man realized that he just had to say crap he doesn't even believe (ie. he's always been an atheist, anti-vaxxer, Democrat and racist but he pretends because they stand up and cheer when he lies to them) to keep stealing and cheating people, he threw his hat in the presidential candidate ring. More targets. More lies. More money. And, his niece told us...it's "never enough".

That's not true.

1. It implies that every criminal has been found and brought to justice.
2. It implies that every crime has been found and lead to an investigation.
3. It implies that every person is incarcerated for their crimes.
4. It implies that every person receives equal treatment under the law.

None of those are true statements.

You are looking in the wrong end of the telescope, CD. It's like the Capitol riot apologists claiming there was no "insurrection" because nobody was charged with insurrection. Think about that a minute. Does a crime NOT exist because the person that committed that crime has not been brought to justice? If that were accurate, there would be no such thing as "cold case" files or no statute of limitations on murder. Arrest, charges and convictions have no bearing on the presence of a crime. Thankfully, our laws and justice system don't work that way.

I think it's great that you feel safe enough to move forward in spite of his actions since the 2020 election. I and some of the people that also have concerns recognize that he's going to keep bilking people for as long as he can and he's going to either (1) go into hiding to escape a prison sentence or (2) pull out all the stops to force himself into the Oval Office in 2024. He raised holy hell after the 2016 election. His infamous for his temper and long-held grudges and he won that election. He's hell-bent on destroying anybody and everybody that he feels wasn't "loyal" to him in his quest to steal the 2020 election. There is no reason on Earth for anyone to believe that all of that will look like a Macy Day's Parade on Thanksgiving if he gets ahold of that football again.

 

Ok then, lol. I'm at work, so I only skimmed. I will read in detail alter, and may respond again.

Bottom line is, considering the number of alphabet soup agencies that have looked under Trump's skirts, in his back pockets, and likely spent time in his shorts with him, if there was actually something to be found that crossed that thin line into illegal, somebody somewhere would have made sure it stuck. No one in the NY government would have let it go.

I can't change the past - so I make the best I can of the forward. Trump is not part of my future concerns.

Unfortunately, as long as the duopoly is in play, holding one's nose is SOP.

 

He probably doesn't need the donations but he will take them if provided.

 

Or, act like the "average" American (with NORMAL stuff like vehicles) that has engine trouble and take it to a mechanic.

It boggles my mind why the people that are cool with his "fuzzy math" don't understand all his bankruptcies are paid for by us. Banks and underwriters don't eat that loss. We do.

 

It's easy to make fun of a carnival barker of a politician, let alone the suckers that donate to a minimum, a multi-millionaire.

To boot, now Trump is calling the news of his sidelined airplane fake news.

That said, ironic, a man who is still the front runner for the next pres race is somehow not important.

 

Says a lot about ones character that while having plenty of money, goes out soliciting for money from those who have less, and takes it for their luxury.

 

I don't like Trump either. Actually I don't like politicians of any stripe.

 

AKA Crooked Donnie the Grifter Scumbag.

 

We need an “Anti - Trump Porn” category. Psychotic Anti-Trump’ers are slumming up the place.

 

He is a professional con man.
