Democracy for sale.

Don't anyone give him a peanut farm. That would threatened the constitution itself.

His whole identity seems like it was thought up in the deepest darkest dungeon of McDonalds head quarters.

"What else guys?"

"He's orange"

Manical laughing "Perfection"

"What should we call our creation?"

"McDonalds Trump"

"They might catch on"

"Donald, then"

"OUR GENIUS KNOWS NO BOUNDS!"

It's a terrible deal. It's a long shot gamble. Not just because he might go to prison instead of the White House, but also because he never keeps his word.

The "policy" he's saying is for sale is stuff that he wants to do, anyway.

Donald Trump is doing whatever the BILLIONAIRES want him today because he has the Working Classes BEST INTEREST in mind!

Our problem is that too many of the working class see themselves as down on their luck billionaires just waiting for someone to get rid of the strawman that is blocking their ascension.

Could someone post a [rice list? I've got $35 right here and a hankering for the abolition of copyright.

He's selling them on credit when he has a terrible credit rating, because he doesn't actually hold any power right now, and will possibly be inmate trump eventually. It's a huge gamble for any company to donate to him right now.

Isn't that how all laws work?

I sure as hell didn't ask all of congress to come together to ban tiktok and send bombs to Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan.

That argument seems flawed: In a democracy, even if the law was incorruptible, there would still be decisions that go against your beliefs. Simply because there are many people with different opinions.

A much better argument would be campaign donations or lobbying (at least in the form we currently have).

Assuming you voted, then you most likely did in fact vote for those things.

America has 2 parties. How does anyone expect to reflect all the different opinions of millions of people like that?
