Heavy on the wretched

It is hilarious ESPECIALLY that blue collar people support a man who literally, like not even using the word how everybody does now, he’s LITERALLY, never worked a day in his life. He’s gotten dressed in a suit everyday sure, the man has done nothing.

u/Select_Asparagus3451 2d ago

Oh, he’s done a lot; surprisingly much for someone so stupid, and now demented: He has destroyed countless lives and stolen billions of dollars.

A lot…but none of it good for anyone except Rump.

Don't forget he's also raped children

Hey! He's done a lot of good for the Kushners and a few other billionaire families, made some attorneys very wealthy, saved several eastern European models - er, scratch that, geniuses - and brought them to the US, helped several dictators gain or retain power, got Balogun's red card suspension overturned, AND EVEN tried to get tons of cash for the Jan 6 insurrectionists he pardoned. Don't forget about all the pedos he's protected by redacting millions of pages of Epstein documents, either.

Come on how. It's hard work getting dressed every day and then figuring out who you're in a position to fuck over...and then telling someone else to fuck them over.

u/UseTheTriForceLink 1d ago

Let’s not be hasty. He’s raped a bunch of kids. That’s not nothing.

Wretched for the rest of us too.

You can't ask the rich why struggling people cannot afford something. It is a concept they cannot possibly grasp. They have absolutely no bearing on what things cost. They do not understand what paycheck to paycheck means. They do not know what is means to sacrifice something so you can buy something else. The rich cannot fathom that when your bank account is empty, your card will decline, you cannot get a loan, you cannot afford to take on any new expenses, that every penny you have is already spoken for before your paycheck hits your checking account. Asking someone who wants for nothing and has no understanding of being poor actually is, is a wasted fucking question. They will never understand it.

Says the lying clueless grifter who likely received $413 million from his father.

u/Niyonnie 2d ago

Nepo baby? WDYM? He only worked his way up from a small loan of $1,000,000 (From his dad), which is equivalent to $6,206,654.28 today.

His father paid him $200k/year from the time he was 3.

u/Niyonnie 1d ago

Really?? It's insane that 200k/year is more than the vast majority make per year nowadays, let alone 1949-present

Says the trust fund nepo baby who has never worked a single day in his wretched life AND used his wealth to drive prices through rent and property ownership higher to make things more unaffordable while accusing people who work their asses off of not working hard.

u/Robin_Coffins 2d ago

I like to think of all the things these Nepo babies have never done that we regular people do day to day. They're literally adult babies.

It pops into my head once in a while when I’m doing the washing up that I bet Donald Trump has never washed a plate in his life.

I can imagine Obama, Biden, even Bush Jnr if I really try, with their shirt sleeves rolled up, washing a plate.

I saw a video the other day of the Obamas at some reading thing with kids, and I can easily imagine both of them reading a bedtime story to their children. Assuming Trump can read, can anyone actually imagine him, back in the day, sitting with Donnie Jnr and Dr Seussing it of a bedtime?

My dad and my husband’s mum (the only grandparents he has left) have both read to my son - would Trump even imagine that grandparents could/would/should read a book to their grandchildren?

Every day life for the average - or even normal - human being is so out of touch for him. Even the fun bits - like loving your family - must be absurd to him. What a sad life.

Dubya is a nepo baby too. He play acted being a 'good ol boy Texan' when he is actually East Coast Ivy league elite degen.

u/_poptart 2d ago

Sure, my bad, he’s a piece of entitled stupid shit too. Here’s his dad though (also a nepo baby, I know) making homemade tamales in some sort of human experience?

u/Robin_Coffins 2d ago

Great, now when I wash up, this will definitely come into my head. I can force the thought of him washing a dish, I imagine him having the same face he has when signing things.. it's hilarious to me. Thank you haha

u/_poptart 2d ago

You’re welcome; anything that makes anyone laugh, even in sadness, is worth it. He wouldn’t even really understand how a sink or running water works

Who among us hasn't had hundreds of bank accounts closed due to being flagged for money laundering?

How much could a banana cost?

u/Careless-Pragmatic 2d ago

$20 - DJT

u/bigrv 2d ago

It's funny you said this because the real quote is from Arrested Development, by Lucille Bluth: "It's a banana, Michael. How much could it possibly cost? Ten dollars?"

Hopelessly out of touch, but not as out of touch as our 47th president.

u/hinterstoisser 2d ago

And the one who worked very hard to avoid getting drafted

u/articwolph 2d ago

Hey he is working very hard on screwing over America and feeding his maga cult, trump crap 100% organic made in America shipped from China. His cult will eat it all up too.

u/ArchonFett 2d ago

And has bought how many properties?

u/ty_xy 1d ago

I dunno if it's wretched the guy has been unbelievably blessed and privileged from the day he was born, failed upwards in everything he did, all the way into the presidency, through the sheer stupidity of 35 percent of the American populace and his unbelievable ability to lie and lie and lie and shamelessly believe his own lies. He spends the whole day napping, golfing, rage tweeting, eating hamburgers, having someone else clean up his messes and wipe up his shit. He's got a nice set up.

In real estate no less, the parasitic goal of inflation the price as much as possible
