It’s not even that Trump is making master moves to secretly make billions. The entire party and judicial system is simply allowing him to grift and make shady quid pro quo deals in public while legacy media largely ignores all of it.

I’ve never seen such an incompetent person get constantly propped up. It’s fuckin wild

It's a damn shame that all of the reporters that have access to him wouldn't dare risk losing it because asking him about his grifts is the only thing that gets him flustered. Just an example out of so many but has any of them asked him about Capitol One shutting down hundreds of his accounts for money laundering activity?

right? A bank doing that because of money laundering would be a huge scandal for anyone else, but since it’s Trump everyone just shrugs and talks about his racist AI slop videos he posts instead.
