I’m gonna start thinking of the judge as Engorgon because he just turned the Trump brand — political as well as financial — to stone.

Only if his crime family is also barred. Otherwise, it’s going to be the same stunt he got away with when he was disgracing the presidency.

And it makes me feel good to refer to that group as _crime family_.

I was under the impression that Ivanka and her husband have their own thing going on (don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there’s shady shit going on there too). She probably wants even less to do with her dad’s businesses now than before.

I’m watching him on msnbc with the sound muted, and I make accordion noises every time he waves his tiny hands around.

It drives me crazy that the media _still_ thinks they need to give this ass-clown equal time.

They did cut him off. It was more than enough to know he hit all of his favourite phrases.

Thanks to the magic of AI, Fred Trump has been resurrected from the dead to call his son a loser.

It’s like wishing death on someone who killed a person you knew. I don’t like this AI shit, and I fear for the future because of it. If someone doesn’t like me, could he bring back my dead dad to mock me? I don’t know. It seems a little scarry. It’s like, “How can we use AI at it’s absolute worst”. I don’t know if this is going to sway anyone either.
