That's not how that works. (Normal) commuting costs are never deductible (in the US). Even if your company covers commuting costs for you, that compensation is still fully taxable as income.

I never said it wasn't.

He said the loud part loudly.

His presidency is a slow motion car wreck, but we are in the car and he having the time of his life .

there are enough misunderstandings about it (probably because related laws change so frequently) that the IRS devoted much of a publication to it

They don't know he said this.

This is Trump we're talking about. His mask was always paper thin and falling off fifteen minutes after he said anything "politically savvy"

Anyone who has been fooled by him is a fucking idiot.

Advisers told me not to say it

is the right "build up" before the punch line.

He's bragged about destroying the world through Iran war with the same brag before. Also adding, that destroying world is good for America because of high US oil production and US doesn't need Straight of Hormuz.

So there's always been a tails we lose, heads we deserved to lose all along, plan for the war.

Idk I’ve met babies and they are deffo morons.

That's right. The "editorial" for small town papers around here, which are mostly owned by super rich people now is a satire bit about the editor making fun of himself wanting to be king, to try and make fun of the no kings movement. Nothing of actual substance ever enters conservative owned media outside of them making fun of it so their base sadly thinks they are being clever by rejecting opposing views.

Can you see any difference between the "drain the swamp" stuff from round 1 and openly gloating about how profitable the little people's struggles are?

Who is making a fortune? It certainly isn't me

It baffles me that people see this guy getting increasingly unhinged the farther into his dementia he gets, and they just shrug. Congress could remove him anytime they want too.

I've heard the saying that they all consider themselves temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

Missing a word there I think:

Trump says he doesn't 'give a damn' about gas prices as US BILLIONAIRES are making a 'fortune'

We know

They like the piss. It's trickle down economics.

What war did Biden start to increase my grocery prices?

The only difference between round 1 and this time is round 1 there were some in his party that thought they could control him and it was blatantly obvious they weren't ready to actually win the election. That's why you had so much turnover and can actually set a political time period of a Scaramucci being 10 days. This time around the Heritage Foundation hitched their wagon to his horse. Remember also, he bought the hotel right down from the white house and refused to separate himself from it so you had foreign influences staying there trying to get cozy with him.

Openly gloating about how profitable the little people's struggles are, he did plenty of that in Covid, and if you knew anything about the man, plenty before he was elected. This is the guy who's always been infamous for not paying his debts.

I'm saying both administrations ignored economic pressure felt by the people they rule over, not that the situations are 100% the same.

Extorting a fortune from the working class. I can’t wait until an angry mob gives him the Mussolini finale

As a far more casual observer, round 1 the cartoon business villain from "the apprentice" promised to use his signature catchphrase on the crooked politicians everyone was already so sick of and round 2 has been a victory lap where perhaps the most crooked 'politician' of all time revels in the hypocrisy of gleefully marketing us to the highest bidder, with the full support of his only constituents that actually matter (the corpo scum buying). Remember that supreme court thing where they said corporations were people now? At this point I'm waiting for one where they just come out and say people aren't anymore. Already kinda went and made speech meaningfully impossible without money

It is important to clarify that they are hateful morons. The "hate"-part is doing a lot of work. You can be a moron and not be a Trump supporter, but it is very rare to see a hateful moron who isn't one.

Also his oligarch co-conspirators.

You absolutely are born a moron LOL

His supporters don't see this stuff.

Trump says he doesn't 'give a damn' about gas prices as US making 'fortune'

Fixed the title.

They go to his rallies, can't get more in your face real than that. His incoherent ramblings on a stage don't lie.

They still just clap at anything he says. Must be nice, being in a cult and just ignoring or not realizing one's struggles.

But actually, I'd rather be aware of them.

I listened to an (american) podcast and on the side they talk a lot about pefophiles/guns because it was relevant. The point was always like: man pedophiles shold all just hang on the road, so other pedophiles would be scared. "When i was young my dad told me that they just made pedophiles dissapear." And he was awefully proud of that. There was A LOT of talk about what they would do with a pedophile. Meanwhile they have the most famous pedophile in charge of their country, but not a single mention of that.

Alleged

You are paying for the people making the fortune

Maybe you are right, I see your critical thinking skills didnt develop.

Here I wish they would sentence every member in Florida and U.S. congress to prison who read the report on Matt Gaetz traffickimg and raping a minor to prison for 20 years no parole. Every one of them is an accessory to raping a child at this point. If any of them voted to support the death penalty those ones should get it.

All of their families should be ashamed of their names for generations.

(Oh and for the record, it was read in U.S. congress, so all of them live in the district of the death penalty, they are the ones who didn't vote it out... They should hope they had the chance to do so, or proposed to get rid of it)

By "US" he means himself of course. L'État c'est moi. He does not have a concept of the US as a state or cares about anything of that kind. Mobsters only care about their own financial interests.

Disturbing. An AI “ecosystem” is what the fascists say they’re building .

Most people in the Trump administration and a good number of Congress is probably pedophiles

In their defense, if Trump is as bad as he appears at the rallies they attend that would mean they were wrong, enabled terrible people to do horrible things and are themselves monsters for cheering these people as they raped, stole and lied. So they kind of can't afford to be wrong. Granted, they can't afford anything alse,at this point..both financially and morally bankrupt.

They've all eaten their bananas, it's the antidote for piss in your face

MAGA faithful have been walking out due to boredom since his first term, it's just physically impossible to get enough of them in one place at the same time because of all that empty land in the big beautiful map of cows that voted for him

In 1987 I got mugged in East St. Louis and when the guy ran away I shot him in the back four times and took everything he had on him. When I got on my greyhound an hour later, the cops still hadn't shown up, and it never even made a police blotter anywhere. The only record of that he ever existed is the knife he threatened me with, which I use to whittle toys for my grandkids.

Yeah it's almost like they don't want to fix anything or hold any of these ghouls accountable at all because they all want their own piece of the money/power shit pie. Weird. Nobody can seem to figure it out. What in the world is going on?

Greed. - And it's such a disgusting disease that raping children is ignored in favor of it.

Thanks for reminding me...I try not to think about it bcz it's extremely triggering as a survivor of child rape.

Fuck that, anybody still supporting him are retarded.

The US is making such a fortune that its national debt is larger than it has ever been. But Trump only cares for Trump.

the Mussolini finale

The Gaddafi coda would also be an acceptable outcome.

let's have fun reading about the Rhode Island Banking Crisis caused by, you guessed it, a mobster in control of people's money and fraudulent "insurers" securing the funds.

edit:

these guys also came to prominence in the 80s, citing Trump's deals in NY as a framework for how to use political connections to make money flow from out of the public pockets and into private accounts.

National debt growing at record rates, 99% of the population is having a harder time affording stuff, but that 1% is making bank. Especially the ones not afraid to jump into the new “morality” where bribes are ok
