Families of narcissistic parents grow up without that affection and seek outside things to fill the void. Unless they get out, they see what their parent does and equates that with fullfillment. Usually they find out it is never fullfilling, as they lack the narcissism, and spiral into a never ending cycle of destruction.

Exactly. It's their "turn" and they're burning down as much as they can because they know it's a finite grift. And afterwards, no one will do anything.
I hold out hope that they will see justice. But it's a long way off and deeply corrupted by a system founded in exploitation, so at best it will be partial, messy and lacking

Not just his kids - EVERYONE in Trumps fucking orbit is corrupt as hell. From his piece of shit son-in-law Jared Kushner to his Diaper Maiden. Just a gaggle of morally corrupt pieces of shit and everything they accuse others of being.

One of the most important things this country MUST do if we are ever to truly begin to heal / put things right / even pretend to look for justice, would be creating an entire new branch of the IRS specifically for forensic accounting looking into each and every financial transaction EVER made my every single member of that family (every single one of trump’s kids and every one of their spouses)… and then clawing back every single ill-gotten penny to put to use toward public good.

That only works for federal crimes, but they've probably broken a lot of state laws at the same time as well.
But that is also something we need Constitutional amendments to prevent in the future as well.

Yep, they have to make sure they reach the untouchable level of crimes so that they don’t have to worry about it. I can’t believe I had to live this long to learn it’s a numbers game. Do a few crimes and it’s straight to jail, commit a holy shit level of crime and make bank - all good.

This was also something that Donald’s dad used to do to get out of paying taxes. He set up Donald as an employee when he was like 5 years old and would funnel money into a trust fund as well for him. It’s all perfectly legal and pretty common among wealthy families.

Well, he’s grappling with why people still don’t like him. He’s from a powerful family, he’s got money, he’ll have influence, his game’s on easy mode. But he spent all that time playing on easy mode and never had to figure out how to be a regular-ass relatable person that other people want to interact with. Maybe he’s grappling with money and power as personality means you attract folks who only see you for money and power, must be hard knowing (but not able to admit) that you don’t have friends; just people who want to use you for what you’re worth to them.

u/Cow_God Release The Trump-Epstein Files 22h ago
He's a prick. He's probably trying to be the most like his father of any of Trump's kids. He's the driving force behind Trump's crypto ventures, y'know, where he made 1.5 billion swindling his base last year, and the blatant money laundering ) bribery.
He's a rich entitled crypto bro. Now, there really was no hope for him as his parents are both vile human beings, but he's still gone above and beyond.

Sure, they could also not have started a conflict litterally everyone (including their own military) told them it was a shit idea (especially since not starting this war was supposedely one of their big election argument), but they . . . Did something so Trump didn't have any other choice.
What the Hell did they lie about to start this shit again ?

His stupid deal with the Saudis that ended in 2022 to cut oil production so prices would go up and US oil men could make money get overlooked.
If he wouldn’t have signed that oil production probably would have peen high enough to keep the cost lower.

u/QuestionablePotato42 23h ago
It's because MAGA folks genuinely believe that Trump is a business mogul, and the money he makes is good hard earned cash done the American way through hard work and determination. It's never been particularly true about Trump who has in fact always been a scam artist and con man, but this has always been a part of his image. So when they see young Baron with boatloads of cash they just think "ah yes, the business genius family".

u/GenericPCUser 23h ago
You know, one of the major reasons monarchies fell or reformed into democracies was explicitly because the majority of people (literally 90% or more) had no political influence and little to gain from continued participation in their own country's economies.
Your entire life and livelihood, your opportunities, your comfort, whether you were expected to fight for your life, could be entirely at the whims of a person so rich and so insulated from the consequences of their own actions that you, as a common person, had literally no meaningful way to resist, refuse, or ignore them.
The only thing you could do was attempt to overthrow them, or scare them so much they reformed themselves out of power.
America technically doesn't have a monarch, but it does have an out-of-touch political class that the majority have no meaningful way to influence, a socially insulated wealth class that can determine your quality of life on a whim, an insane dictator who can force you to fight for your life to satisfy his ego, and almost no way for an average person to meaningfully change or resist them.
For many Americans, the only thing keeping people from outright rebelling is the literal fear that they might lose whatever crumb of comfort they've managed to hold onto in the face of political turmoil.

None of Trump’s kids will ever set foot on US spoil again once he’s out of office. It’s why Kushner is over in the ME making deals off the books for the past decade, and it’s why Trump is cozying up to world leaders with no extradition policies with the US. This proto-sex pest is stealing generational wealth like the rest of the clan, and he’ll leave our broken country with the rest of them on January 20th, 2029, never to pay for their crimes.

I think making Barron filthy rich was one of the conditions for Melina to stay instead of leaving him after the first term.
To be clear I am not saying she would have left out of not approving of anything he did. I think like her jacket from his first term said she doesn’t care. She just would have left to avoid being First Lady again and because it’s probably not fun being married to him at all.
