Trump could be secured properly had his fat ass been jailed on a contempt of court order. It was always brought up whenever Trump and jail time were discussed.

Now, that problem might be solved!

There’s plenty of room for the whole clan on Fantasy Island ...

Offer aerial tours by helicopter — heck, I’d want to see that! More fun than Sea World!

His brain is so addled, he's going back to old fixations.

I wish nothing but the worst for those who are aiding and abetting this deluded motherfucker and his dementia fever dreams.

He treats our treasury like it's his own personal bank account. Of course, if it was his own personal bank account, he wouldn't spend a dime of it. He just likes to waste other peoples' money.

You're not supposed to hate anybody and I've never hated anyone that didn't personally wrong me, but I hate that miserable excuse for a human being more every single day. He disgusts me.
