"SNIP......

“Former President Donald Trump’s social media outfit, Truth Social, is locked in a bitter battle with one of its vendors claiming that the platform is stiffing the company out of more than $1 million in contractually obligated payments,” Fox Business reports.

“If the allegations are true, they would suggest that Truth Social’s finances are in significant disarray.”

No sympathy here. A complete moron would know more than to enter into any kind of agreement with the biggest con man this country has seen in a long time. They got what they deserved and I’m laughing my ass off at their stupidity.

If companies who do business with him already know he will not pay, why do business with the criminal? Lawyers have wised up, no good lawyer wants to represent him. If people know that his only reason to become president was to rob the country in many forms, like selling top secret documents to who knows who, to screw up the economy for his own gain, why vote for him? What the fuck is wrong with people?

Is it that some people think they are special? that the buffoon will never screw them up? What fantasy world do these people live in?

groups of people that conservatives just enjoy hating. Sick, isn't it. It's textbook codependency, a maladaptive, obsessive behavior acquired by people who think they are victims. These ignorant victims become angry, and then they became violent on Jan. 6th.

Witch hunt. Under the guidance of brilliant financial minds of trump and Nunez. Get real people. Just more radical Dems going after trump. These damn witches need to stop hunting. Ain’t there a hunting season for witches. Time to real in the assaults on trump. Hell there are only limited hunting seasons for all wild game. Why are witches allowed to stalk trump 24/7/365. Where is the justice MurKKKa, for law abiding citizens like Donald.
This country has gone to hell under Dem rule.

to have him in their business portfolio, although one should always research very well the people you intend to do business with before accepting to do so, but lets go back to those who did not do their due diligence and bought the hype.

But NOW? EVERYONE knows how crooked the guy is, WE ALL learned what a criminal he is, so for those people who engaged in business for his "Lie Social", who do you think you are? Why do you think you are so special that the buffoon will not screw you up? No pity from me either.

He is so deplorable that he buried his first wife at his golf club with the intent to make the golf club tax free because it is a cemetery. That is how evil the SOB is. And it says a lot about the children he had with her, why they would allow that? To treat their mother as a business transaction?

Or abusers when there is a long string and pattern of behavior.

They think they are somehow special and different.
