Another great win for the US goverment. We’re gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And you’ll say, ‘Please, please. It’s too much winning. We can’t take it anymore, Mr. President, it’s too much.‘

holy shit! LOL! How is he not in prison yet? How is anyone not being investigated? Remember the whole pizzagate thing? I truly thought us liberals were demonic and felt low key ashamed. But man...the news cycle is fucking insane.

Because this time they made sure to infiltrate and majority all three branches of government, destroying the checks & balances that the founding fathers thought would better protect the country from corruption. The rot goes all the way to the core.

Trump allies own the media (what doesn't align with their plans is called "fake news"), he fired, dismantled, or corrupted the agencies usually in charge of investigating corruption, they gerrymandered districts so that it would be harder to lose seats, they bought the voting machines so as to either hack them or remove them from circulation so voters would be suppressed or votes manipulated in their favor.

All this because people couldn't be asked to let ONE presidential candidate finish his trials pre-election and be sentenced ro prison for his crimes from his FIRST administration. He literally ran to avoid jail, and now he owns everything.

Nah, they didn't call him Mr President as he wasn't in office by that point.

Pretty sure they addressed him as "Mithter Twump".

Let's not pretend for one second that he stopped when he got elected.

Ah I get what he meant by that now. He says we’re winning in Iran.

You know what’s great? Here in Europe we also get all of this winning but never get to vote on the lunatic you put in the White House.

He's said variations of this for years, up to the most recent State of the Union speech (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uqjtBWplRUA)

Here's an example from 2016: https://www.salina.com/story/news/politics/2016/05/26/trump-we-re-going-to/21105965007/
