The US has never been a "functioning democracy", well does trump know. He does what he wants because he never has to face consequences. And never will. Anyone who deludes themselves otherwise will be mightily disappointed.
Functioning democracies do not come from rule of law. Rule of law comes from functioning democracies, which come from getting rid of your own oligarchs. The US will never be a functioning democracy XD
It took too long for it to truly click with me but I now get it. The politics is just a side show - he does enough awful things in the political arena to keep the idiots and sadists happy so he stays in power. But the main event is the grift. He’s not Hitler. He’s a mobster and a conman.
Note: His followers love this, and they also love that it pisses people off, because they are amoral psychos who think others exist only for their entertainment, and they think professional wrestling is real and they always root for the villain character.
Jail 4 life for anyone directly related to trump Jr, Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany(why not?). Jail 4 life for the Kushners. Nationalize their wealth and use it to fund social welfare programs. Make trump towers into homeless shelters and convert every golf course he owned into community parks and gardens. Put the Trump brand name on sewage treatment facilities and garbage dumps, for shits and giggles. That last one is just for petty revenge but trump deserves it. Cannot wait for Trump public bathroom.
Most everything with the Trump name on it isn’t actually his. When Trump hotel in Toronto got sold, he made next to no money because he just charged a fee to use his name and had no financial stake in the building.
While you are technically correct, your argument completely ignores the point being made. This sort of pedantic rebuttal is not debate; It’s a shallow attempt to discredit a valid criticism.
You just proved my point exactly, it doesn't add up chronologically. His first term was 2017-21 and the picture wasn't taken until 2023. It is not a picture of him in his first term. Yes, it's nit-picking, but to say it's not relevant is just not true
As of a day and a half ago, it's still being reported as 13 Joe Biden stock trades. Maybe they're including Jill? Your source lays out that the Joe and Jill most likely share finances, though most of the accounts are in Jill's name.
"13 transactions". What kind of transactions are we talking here? I can't find anything on personal stock trades by either Joe or Jill Biden, only this vague "13 transactions" claim.
It's in the article from July 2, 2026 I linked, reported as stock trades "By contrast, Joe Biden made a total of 13 stock trades during his entire tenure as president."
I traced this back to the source, which is an investigation conducted by the Financial Times. The article at https://ft.trib.al/EHefEnp is paywalled, but according to an AI summary these were "auromatic redemptions or divisions within ... diversified mutual funds and bank accounts" rather than personal stock trades.

He’s just fucking the stupid rich. The average American buys health care, food, gas and pay taxes with their money. Not stocks.

Federal Reserve data shows 54.3% of Americans have some type of retirement account asset. So more than half are directly exposed to the stock market.

#2 This is not accurate.
Trump first term- 517 stock trades
Biden presidency- 13 stock trades
Trump 2025 alone- 21,000+ stock trades

DongleDingler
I think you replied to the wrong comment. Did you think I was trying to discredit myself when I replied to myself?
DongleDingler
Also, the mugshot photo wasn't until after his first term (2023)
CorvidPrime
While true, that’s not relivant to the information.
DongleDingler
It's not vital, but it is relevant to the information because the X-axis of the chart is time

It's a picture of trump for that presidency term. It's just a picture. In no way is it trying to imply his arrest date.

You just proved my point exactly, it doesn't add up chronologically. His first term was 2017-21 and the picture wasn't taken until 2023. It is not a picture of him in his first term. Yes, it's nit-picking, but to say it's not relevant is just not true

Biden did not engage in stock trades at any point of his political career. He invested in savings accounts and several life insurance policies with MassMutual. The latter invest in bonds, mortgages, and potentially also stocks, but neither he nor his wife personally traded stocks. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2014/jun/24/joe-biden/biden-says-he-has-no-stocks-bonds-or-savings-accou/
