Americans got played…rump pocketed another billion (guess) & will be dead & gone by the time we have to figure all of his shit out.

What ever money is left will enable the spoils to go to Ivanka/Jared/Don Jr./Eric.

The President of the United States sold out America to Qatar cheaply, for the extremely low cost of ONE $400 million dollar jet and a $5 Billion golf resort, in exchange for it's very own military base in Idaho.

Congrats "America First" MAGA.
You got played.

AGAIN.

Argentina gets $20 billion, Qatar gets an airbase in Iowa, while our soldiers are being fed by food banks. Orgs like Army Emergency Relief are stepping in amidst Trump’s shutdown, and you can make a donation at any of the links in this thread:

Yeah...I'm f*cking pissed. Qatar is building its own facility inside a U.S. Air Force base. What could possibly go wrong? Tonight, give you clear answers to that question. 😡👇

Dear MAGA: None of us want Qatari pilot’s carrying JDAMs over our soil. But this has to end with you.

YOU have to call your representatives and relentlessly tell them you’ll replace them if they don’t impeach Trump. He’s out of his mind. He’s grifting. YOU have to act!

MAGA is crashing out harder over Trump putting a Qatari military base in the US than they ever did over him being all over the Epstein files

Do we care what Ms. MAGA thinks, feels or experiences?
NO.

Seriously; why do these lame pathetic losers want to keep making themselves RELEVANT?
No matter how much she licks Orange Hitler's two hairless shrivelled "DingDongs", she is still FUCKING IRRELEVANT!

Two GOP governors — Vermont’s Phil Scott and Oklahoma’s Kevin Stitt — just slammed Trump’s troop deployment as unconstitutional. Even Republican governors are finally calling him out for using the National Guard to take over American cities.

“On Friday, Pete Hegseth announced that a Qatari air force facility would soon be built in Idaho”

If Osama Bin Laden had known how easy it is to conquer America!!!! Just give a corrupt President a $400 million jet and he’ll roll out the red carpet (for Qatar AND for Russia).

rump receiving a prize he clearly does NOT qualify for would be far worse.

Congratulations rump- you did not qualify for the Nobel Peace Prize. BUT, you did earn honorable mention- you are the candidate who offended more people in the process than ANYONE EVER.

Your prize? A wet noodle.

Jon Cooper @joncooper-us.bsky.social · 23h

Yes, so embarrassing.

Thanks for notifying the US public, however, we give less than a damn what Laura Looney is up to.

Trump has lost Islamophobe Loomer on this.

6 figure (price) “Swiss” watch sold under “Trump” is a piece of shit made in Wyoming, United States.

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 18h

Trump's "Swiss[Chinese]-made" watch grift can be traced back to a shell LLC with an address in a strip shopping center in Wyoming. The company also sells Viagra-laced “Male Enhancement Honey” products, which the FDA has warned Americans not to use.

CNN searched for the maker of the candidate’s new ‘Swiss-made’ timepieces. The search dead-ended in a Wyoming shopping center.
