“Give me $1 billion and I will suck your oil dick”

— Trump (paraphrased)

Stormy Tan Oils? Is that you?

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Underrated pun, good work

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 54 points 5 months ago

Ridiculous that we won't hold him accountable for this.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 47 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Democracy for sale.

Don't anyone give him a peanut farm. That would threatened the constitution itself.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The greatest monster of our time.

His whole identity seems like it was thought up in the deepest darkest dungeon of McDonalds head quarters.

"What else guys?"

"He's orange"

Manical laughing "Perfection"

"What should we call our creation?"

"McDonalds Trump"

"They might catch on"

"Donald, then"

"OUR GENIUS KNOWS NO BOUNDS!"

McDonalds Trump 😂😂

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 43 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well.. law futures. They may or may not become laws. \

[–] Steve@startrek.website 7 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Its not a bad deal, assuming the price is right. Publicly traded executive orders wen?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Fractional reserve legislation

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's a terrible deal. It's a long shot gamble. Not just because he might go to prison instead of the White House, but also because he never keeps his word.

[–] TurtleJoe@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The "policy" he's saying is for sale is stuff that he wants to do, anyway.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Then it's an even worse deal!

Donald Trump is doing whatever the BILLIONAIRES want him today because he has the Working Classes BEST INTEREST in mind!

[–] geekworking@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Our problem is that too many of the working class see themselves as down on their luck billionaires just waiting for someone to get rid of the strawman that is blocking their ascension.

Did the f’n Muscovites cut off their orange sock puppet?

[–] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Could someone post a [rice list? I've got $35 right here and a hankering for the abolition of copyright.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

$35 won't even buy one of his shitty NFTs

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

And a billion dollars only gets you a pinky swear.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

He's selling them on credit when he has a terrible credit rating, because he doesn't actually hold any power right now, and will possibly be inmate trump eventually. It's a huge gamble for any company to donate to him right now.
