From that _Telegraph_ article link (my bold) in @Johnny_L.A’s post:

> …  
> Donald Trump **has been accused** of using his company’s funds to pay his tax and [legal bills](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/10/25/what-next-donald-trump-indictment-charges-arrest/), in breach of a court ruling that requires him to notify a financial auditor before withdrawing cash.
> 
> [The former president](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/donald-trump/) **reportedly** moved $40 million (£31.5 million) from the Trump Organisation into a personal bank account in three cash transfers across ten months of financial statements, The Daily Beast reported.  
> …

Note the use of the words “has been accused” [the passive voice hides sources rather than revealing them] and “reportedly.” What is/are the source/s of this information? I believe this is all lies, and trumpy never moved one thin dime from one account to another. I don’t believe he possesses any cash to speak of. This is all fake news planted in the press to buttress (emphasis on **butt** ) his image as a billionaire.

I’m assuming you have not actually read Mr. Trump’s Thanksgiving message to the nation. Thanksgiving. A time when families come together and express thanks for the good things in their lives and the bountiful harvest that they enjoy. A time of togetherness.

Here is Trump’s message. I wonder if you can tell us what you like about it, and how it expresses the True Meaning of Thanksgiving for the nation.

> “Happy Thanksgiving to ALL, including the Racist & Incompetent Attorney General of New York State, Letitia ‘Peekaboo’ James, who has let Murder & Violence Crime FLOURISH, & Businesses FLEE; the Radical Left Trump Hating Judge, a ‘Psycho,’ [Arthur Engoron,](https://thehill.com/people/arthur-engoron/) who Criminally Defrauded the State of New York, & ME, by purposely Valuing my Assets at a ‘tiny’ Fraction of what they are really worth in order to convict me of Fraud before even a Trial, or seeing any PROOF, & used his Politically Biased & Corrupt Campaign Finance Violator, Chief Clerk Alison Greenfield, to sit by his side on the ‘Bench’ & tell him what to do,”

Christmas. A time when Christians celebrate the birth of Christ over 2000 years ago, a religious and for some, sacred holiday. Even for the secular, it is a time when families join together to give gifts and enjoy each other’s company.

Here is Trump’s 2022 Christmas message to the nation. I wonder if you could tell us what you find in this message that is inspirational for you, related to the message of Christmas, or actually rational:

> Merry Christmas to EVERYONE, including the Radical Left Marxists that are trying to destroy our Country, the Federal Bureau of Investigation that is illegally coercing & paying Social and LameStream Media to push for a mentally disabled Democrat over the Brilliant, Clairvoyant, and USA LOVING Donald J. Trump, and, of course, The Department of Injustice, which appointed a Special “Prosecutor” who, together with his wife and family, HATES “Trump” more than any other person on earth. LOVE TO ALL!

In addition to using a warmed-over Limbaughism, a phrase construction so old\* I myself rolled my eyes when El-Rushbo changed CDS (Clinton Derangement Syndrome) to BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome), I’m just going to call you a liar for claiming to have read over 5,200 posts in this thread alone.

Run along, child, this is where the people who can read congregate.

In another thread, you recommend reading a court case from Alberta

That’s an odd reference for a MAGA Republican. But maybe not so strange for a Canadian from that region.

Nah….that’s just crazy.

I know- when I first started hearing the term, it took me a little bit to wrap my head around the fact that “trump derangement syndrome” was _ **not** _ supposed to apply to the mindset of trump supporters. It seems like such a perfect description of such.

You’ll want to see this — two interviews with ordinary Hispanic Americans who are basically Trumpy but might (yeah, right) vote for a Democrat if it isn’t the old, feeble Biden.

One of them says several times that Trump’s one negative attribute is that he doesn’t say things nicely — that he needs to tone down his speech mannerisms, to at least pretend to appear decent.

In other words, they’ll rationalize anything he says as “Trump being Trump,” while acknowledging it’s not great.

Does anyone else have this kind of shameful, sick desire to see this escalate in a tit-for-tat manner, the gag order being gradually expanded, and Trump always moving one step past it, just to see how far afield and how petty he can get?

"Today, in response to the gag order banning Trump from mentioning the judge’s sister’s boyfriend’s best friend’s mom’s housekeeper, Donald Trump Xcreted, “This case is clear a BIASED Fraud as seen when the judge’s sister’s boyfriend’s best friend’s mom’s housekeeper’s grandson tweeted, “Man, that Trump guy is something else, eh, Grandma?””

I endorse that.

I might swap the sentences though, to match what Trump twooths: ‘A lot of people are saying that former porn actress, gold digger and First “Lady” might be a Russian spy.’
