I don't think that is even true. I think he's done a few things that might maybe help someone rich, but most of his stuff just seems not helpful at all in any general way to rich people. Like they just seem dumb ideas largely.

Garrison is noticeably porkening Trump up in his more recent images

even on the campaign trail Trump has never looked as awful as he does now, he's gained a shitload of weight, it's actually kind of staggering how much heavier he clearly is compared to when he was campaigning. Only a few short months and he looks like he's put on 80+ pounds.

Also whether he realizes it or not, Garrison is going to go down in history as an example of a propaganda artist. Wonder how he'd feel about that.

This is really insidious.

He's tweeting to make sure his base knows that the only source of REAL AUTHENTIC TOTALLY NOT FAKE news is from his fat loving fingers.

No, he's just pissed off that the world isn't worshipping him like he knows he deserves and is unable to come to grips with the idea that the media is able to source poo poo without going through him. All he knows is running a business entirely stuffed with sycophants and people under ironclad NDAs instead of career politicians and civil servants who have zero loyalty to Trump (although many have extreme loyalty to "The President").

This is entirely new and unexpected territory for him and he has no loving idea what to do. You know how in the Wizard of Oz when Toto pulls back the curtain and Oz panics trying to get them to pay attention to the giant flame-wrapped head that is the "real" wizard? That's where Trump is now.

Is there any way to check if he's fatter than Taft yet? It'll be interesting to have one president who embodies every single negative trait possible - more corrupt than Nixon, more incompetent than Bush, more racist than Jackson, more contempt for the poor than Hoover, more of a skirt-chaser than JFK and LBJ, and more out of shape than Taft.

So basically, on his trip, Trump forgot his phone and had to borrow someone's phone to put out minimal tweets. But oh boy, he snatched that joker up as soon as he hit the door. He caressed it and said, "Daddy's home Snook um's".

Considering what he did before and after his presidency I'm not sure I'd say Hoover had contempt for the poor, so much as he massively hosed up his response to the market crash.

Honestly I think there is a better chance of Trump dying in office due to his poor health than him getting removed via impeachment. He looks like trash, and despite having access to the best healthcare he's an idiot that probably ignores common sense medical advice while treating his body like poo poo.

You find yourself powerless, bloody and scarred.

If the US were to break up into states, I would imagine Alaska and Hawaii get chopped up / end up as minor territories to other countries. You'll have a west coast state, Mormon Utah, Mountain States / Unclaimed, Mid West, Texas / Southwest, South, and Northeast. Maybe a small independent south Florida.
