Just in case the East Wing razing did not make it perfectly clear, he has no intention of leaving the WH unless it is feet first. He has a good thing going, and he will raze the country to the ground before he will die in jail.
Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

It's more than that — the $30 pet fee, the $50 valet trash fee, the $10 convenience fee to pay rent. These are often ways landlords seek to maximize profit (often illegally) on the backs of tenants.
It's wrong, and we need to call it out every time.

Have you ever gone to pay your rent and there's a $3 fee on top of rent? Or maybe it costs $10 to pay with a credit card? Yeah. So that convenience/junk fee is actually illegal in several states.
Landlords do this all the time — but it's often illegal and makes the lease void.

Why has Rochester chosen to criminalize poverty? - Rochester Beacon
Our city is following Trump’s playbook on homelessness: Being unhoused with substance-use disorder is treated as a criminal act instead of the public health issue it is.
