We need to expect some really bad shit from this crime family. They won't let go of power--it will have to be wrestled out from their clutches.

We live in hope, but the tide turns only when he is out of power. Even then - think how powerful he was in the interregnum.

But I'll believe that the tide has turned against Trump when he is dead or jailed for life.

7. Business people? "How Big Tech is paying its way out of Trump's tariffs"

Cook and friends are so far up Trump's ass that he'll burp them out any moment.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/13/nvidia-amd-and-apple-big-tech-is-paying-its-way-out-of-trump-tariffs.html

Top tech executives are at the forefront of a recent swathe of unprecedented deals with U.S. President Donald Trump.

In just the last few days, the White House confirmed that two U.S. chipmakers, Nvidia
and Advanced Micro Devices
, would be allowed to sell advanced chips to China in exchange for the U.S. government receiving a 15% cut of their revenues in the Asian country.

Apple
CEO Tim Cook, meanwhile, recently announced plans to increase the firm’s U.S. investment commitment to $600 billion over the next four years. The move was widely seen as a bid to get the tech giant out of Trump’s crosshairs on tariffs — and appears to have worked for now.

Won't be long until his public appearances will start to tail off as he tips over into deeper and deeper dementia. Normally, I'd feel sad for those undergoing the process. Not for him. I for one will celebrate each and every step in his decline. I will relish it.

Never mind all those other times we thought he was toast. This time is for real.

Maybe.

And for all those businesses getting in line with cash in hand and painted, pooched lips for his ass, You all need to understand that there are a lot of people who are dumping you now and/or will be dumping you first chance they get once this nightmare is over. You can all go under as far as I'm concerned. I will never buy another fucking thing that has your fingerprints on it.

Sorry for the rant. I am just so disgusted by all these companies, giants of industry, and above all the media so willing to prostrate themselves.
