PART of me is laughing at Grampy McRaperson sleeping through his "sparsely attended event," but...

...I stop laughing when I realize we're still gonna be picking up the tab.

I read a quote the other day...I promised to refrain from posting every little speck of his nonsense...but he said "a lot of the expenses are being paid by ME, and people who donate money."

Um...

...I don't believe he paid a fucking penny, and the "people who donate money" are YOU...when you pay your taxes. And if he DID pay a single PENNY himself, it came out of money that he squeezed out of the MAGAts by selling them fucking Lee Greenwood God Bless The USA Bibles and those shitty gold sneakers.

'Humiliating': Onlookers mock Trump's 'sad little tank parade' for low turnout

https://www.rawstory.com/humiliating-onlookers-mock-trump-s-sad-little-tank-parade-for-low-turnout/

Donald Trump was ridiculed on Saturday for a "sad little tank parade" with a purportedly low turnout rate.

The New York Times was one of the first major outlets to flag what could be considered signs of failure for the MAGA event. One reporter noted that "hordes" of people were trying to leave before Trump even spoke, while another called the parade and crowd "listless."

Democratic strategist Mike Nellis said, "America's army won WWI and WWII, and this is the best they could f------ do with $45 million for this parade?"

...I said this yesterday, but if you add up all of the things we've paid for in the first 140+ days, he'll EASILY crack a billion dollars before the end of his first year back in office.

EASILY. We're paying for his amusement and recreation. And since Miller, Musk, and the Project 2025 goons are the ones REALLY running the country, it's gonna add up PAINFULLY fast.

"As of June 2025, reports indicate that Donald Trump's personal travels in what is referred to as his "second term" (implying a hypothetical current presidency) have cost American taxpayers a significant amount.
Some sources estimate that his golf trips alone have cost over $26 million in taxpayer funds so far in this "second term" (which is assumed to refer to the period beginning in 2025). This figure includes costs for Air Force One, the presidential motorcade, Secret Service protection, and other security expenses.
For context, during his first term (2017-2021), his total travel costs were estimated to be around $144 million. It's important to note that presidential travel, regardless of who is in office, incurs substantial costs for security, transportation (like Air Force One), and personnel. However, criticisms often arise when a significant portion of travel is to personal properties, which can also generate revenue for those properties.
It's worth noting that detailed, official breakdowns of presidential travel costs are not always immediately available due to security and classification reasons, and figures often come from watchdog groups and journalistic estimates based on available data."
