      I dunno. they really work for tips, and Trump seems like a real cunt. In their place, I’d do my best to just avoid their ire.

      It’d be hilarious if he weren’t president.

      Great satire.

      The problem is, it’s not satire and he is president.

    Person wearing door dash grandma shirt… Supposedly drives up to the white house door, and Trump supposedly answerers…

    Talk about a load of faked propaganda. There is like 500+staff members at the White House. And no way would the secret service let the president take packages from a random person without screening everything.

      It was supposed to be a PR stunt about No Taxes on Tips, that’s why the press was all hanging around to take pictures when the Door Dasher showed up.

      Then Trump comes out and the press asks him about his blasphemous Easter post, and he offered his outlandish excuse that he was supposed to be a doctor, completely blowing his PR stunt.

      He probably didn’t even tip her, he’s a proven scumbag cheapskate. Just the pleasure of serving him is tip enough.

      She stated during the event she was there for a reason. Trump asked her for her opinion on trans folks in sports, and she said “I have no opinion on that. I’m here about taxes on tips.” She was deadpan with it too

        Yeah, this fuck invited her to the White House to thank him on live tv for the big beautiful bill removing the requirement to be taxed on tips because she drives DoorDash to pay for her husbands cancer treatment and he fucking snubbed her to talk about himself for 30 minutes and then she invited her and her husband to the UFC fight he’s holding at the whitehouse.

        What a disaster for this poor woman and for this country. Our own personal Nero.

          well, due to Polymarket, all bets are ON… but only the privileged few know enough to make those bets.

          otherwise… enjoy the rollercoaster!

          For enjoyment (not suicide) I recommend 2-3g of 20%+ cannabis and your favorite bourbon!

            Here’s my thing…if Polymarket is just being used to pay bets that are obvious scams, eventually (read: real fuckin quick) Polymarket would shut that shit down. The mob don’t let cheaters into their casinos and win big every week. They break the guys thumbs, kneecaps, or maybe just off the guy.

            So it makes me think that Polymarket isn’t so much a legit betting rig, as it is a money washing service probably set up by trumps people. They pump the money into Polymarket behind the scenes, win big every week, and Polymarket funnels the money right back into their accounts. With a traceable paper trail to them free and clear from the IRS.

            I have no proof of this. It just doesn’t pass the smell test. Then again, trump in person probably smells awful too.

    Doordash walking up to the oval office and trump taking delivery in person… Very plausible /s

    We see straight through this due to his bad acting inability to act and non existing sense of humor nor reality, Yet still he could not help himself …

      Lloyd Bridges had talent while being genuinely funny and entertaining.

      Trump is insane, whose incompetence at destroying the world is only - occasionally - entertaining but I never thought that the world might end because Lloyd Bridges sniffed some glue and fell out of a window.

    Full text of Melania Trump statement denying links to Epstein

    I have never had any knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of his victims. I was never involved in any capacity—I was not a participant, was never on Epstein’s plane, and never visited his private island.

    I have never been legally accused or convicted of a crime in connection with Epstein’s sex trafficking, abuse of minors, and other repulsive behavior.

      For context:

      Decades of photographic and testimonial evidence repudiate every word of her statement other that the technical fact that she has never been convicted of any crimes related to Jeffery Epstein… yet

      There are decades of videographer, photographic, textual, and testimonial evidence that she absolutely and without a doubt both know and was very close with Jeffrey Epstein _ for many, many years) before AND after meeting and marrying Trump. This is - and has long been established - in not only the Trump-Epstein Files, but in many other outside documentation.

      Melania was a widely-circulated whore for almost a decade before even being introduced to Trump. Just Trump’s type. And it’s been widely documented.

          Wasn’t she semi-nude in some of the pics already released? That would make her a sex worker, maybe? She probably was trafficked at a young age. She seems like she probably was a sex worker at the very least. Whore seems harsh for anyone.

            She was officially a model, so semi nude might still fit her work. Even full nude might be just art or legit money income 🤷

          the Epstein files.

          “whore” is, admittedly, and overstatement. “slutty” would have been a more appropriate word.

      It was a stunt so he could tout his tax-free tips bullshit. They roped in an old grandma and somehow thought showing her having to work to pay off her husband’s medical debt in her elder years wasn’t dystopian as fuck.
