    Why can’t his PAC pay for this? He doesn’t even need that money for his own campaign, since asshat shouldn’t be running for any office anyway and I doubt he has that many viable years left anyway.

      Why don’t billionaires turn a slice of the world into a paradise, where they can live as a universally beloved hero and still live the most decadent live money can buy?

      Why don’t they leave $5k tips everywhere they go, since they’d never run out? Why don’t they invest their money to singlehandedly fund the development of wonderous new technologies?

      Billionaires don’t spend their money. They beg, borrow, die. They live not as people, but as avatars of their own dragon hoards. They not like us

        Perhaps being a billionaire should be enough evidence of an underlying illness that they can be taken into a permanent care situation.

          Sure, but realistically billionaires as a community are the reason they are like they are. They’re a group that only really socializes with other billionaires and lives their lives between home and 300 something hotels, resorts, and compounds across the world

          The real reason none of them ever break the mold and do something meaningfully good for humanity is each other - their whole social sphere is full of “peers” locked in a twisted game of comparison with each other

          Interestingly enough, there’s actually some billionaires who live like actual people. They secretly live like normal people with the security of an endless safety net

      I wish but apparently his fucking parents lived into their 100’s so we are stuck with him until he finishes destroying America.

    and even dropped a new ad on Tuesday.

    I feel like that should have been in the headline as well. Not only did he confirm he was committing crimes and wasn’t sorry, he committed additional crimes just to rub it in.

    “Make me!” is his usual practice for making any required payments. He’ll make them spend a small fortune recovering the money and settle at a big reduction
