And reposted. Pigs at the trough indeed, except that pigs are very agreeable animals.
My neighbor across the lane has had one since it was a babe. She is a sweety, both the pig and my neighbor.

That's her.

(77,862 posts)Does she know that her namesake Donald Trump raped, sex trafficked, and more than likely had
girls murdered that were her age or younger?
I hope I get to live long enough to see that she has to change her last name to avoid being linked to
Donald. Adolf, Hitler, and Benito no longer are names people like to use.

If you go to the zoo, and see a gorilla in the flamingo enclosure, do you think it is a flamingo?
Same with the White House, just because some distorted and greedy people walk around in there, doesn't make them a First Family, or for that matter, a competent government.

(77,862 posts)The president made purchases ranging from $1 million to $5 million in tech giants such as Oracle, Microsoft, Nvidia, Meta, Amazon, Apple and Alphabetall of which have inked government contracts or made high-profile commitments according to financial disclosure forms.
Trumps other large tech investments ranging between $1 million and $5 million included software company ServiceNow, semiconductor manufacturer Broadcom, software company Cadence Design Systems, Adobe, Motorola, Dell and Uber.
Defense companies including Palantir, Axon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman were also listed in the disclosure, with Boeing receiving investments between $1 million and $5 million, in addition to two investments from the president ranging from $15,000 to $50,000.
Trump also purchased millions of dollars worth of securities in Comcast, Costco and manufacturing companies like Procter & Gamble and Jabil Inc.
Critics pointed out Trumps purchase of Nvidia shares came shortly before the government cleared chip sales to certain Chinese firms.
The president also purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock before he promoted the company in a Truth Social post, writing, Palantir Technologies has proven to have great war fighting capabilities and equipment.

(79,252 posts)when I long for the days of a president only as corrupt as Nixon. Back then, when Dick resigned, I remember thinking our country would never have someone that crooked in the White House ever again. Ah, to be young and naive! Yet most all of my friends my age viewed it the same way. And after a brief season of Ford, I remember how happy I was at Jimmy Carter's election!
These days, on facebook, my cousin has had a few jackasses claimed that President Carter was a failure. Each time, my cousin tells me to straighten them out. I think of that kind of like the few bitter fools who insist that Ali was a "draft-dodger." What a sad fate to have one's thinking so disorganized as to dare compare this president with Jimmy Carter. Indeed, Nixon was this guy's moral superior.

(98,445 posts)Trump sure has surpassed him in that department and on top of that he is downright evil. His dementia addled brain makes him all the worse.
His parents should have sent him to an asylum instead of the Military reform school all those years ago.

(79,252 posts)coincidence that the father encouraged and rewarded the sociopathic behaviors of his son who became president, for he was evil, too. This president ranks with any of the worst sociopaths in the last 100 years to hold political power in other nations, described in Fromm's 1972 "The Anatomy of Human Destrucyiveness." A healthy society could not elect this guy, only a sick society.
