You People Made Me Give Up My Peanut Farm Before I Got To Be President

Boy, times sure have changed, haven’t they? I couldn’t help but notice that the current occupant of the White House owns more than 500 companies, has business interests across the Middle East and Asia, and owes hundreds of millions of dollars to banks he is now responsible for regulating. It seems a touch unfair that a bigger fuss was made about my little peanut operation than all his office towers, hotels, and golf courses combined. All I had was a farm, you know? A small, precious farm.

Seriously, it was just a few fields and a warehouse, and you idiots still appointed a special prosecutor and spent six months investigating it.

Maybe I’m just a sucker. Apparently, all I needed to do was hand off control of the farm to my family. If I’d staged an elaborate song and dance about distancing myself—whatever that means—from all the day-to-day planting, picking, and salting, maybe I could have kept my peanut farm with the full blessing of you, the American people.

Emphasis mine.
It is a couple of years old but just as relevant today.
It may be satire, but he did have a peanut farm, and he did have to give it up... now the President gets to host the G7 in his own property for the enrichment of himself and his family, alongside all the other grift.... how times have changed.

If you want to know the kind of evil we’re up against with the MAGA cult, please note: they’re on here this morning celebrating the death of Elijah Cummings. These people are ghouls. They must be completely defeated. No making nice. No reaching across the aisle. No mercy.


They can be shown no quarter...



Exactly - they must be brought to heel with no fear or favour

Is labelling him an autocrat too complimentary?



Raises an interesting argument, when we label him are we giving him more credence for any clarity of thought that he may/may not have...
