Dig deep, Donald needs a new plane. Maybe you should do the Mormon thing and hand him 20 % of your income..

I love this. I hope they forget to uncheck the box. I would rather they spend this on Trump's plane then on the campaign funds for his followers. I hope his followers support his legal fees and bail his financial empire out. The suckers have only so much money.
Probably already did.

TRUMP is basically no different than various TV evangelists (when it comes to asking the flock to pay for a fancy ride)
10 American Pastors with Private Jets - 'It's what Jesus would do' - Aero Corner
Matthew 19:24 famously says “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” – but they never said anything about private jets, right? In Les Misérables, Victor Hugo imagines his Bishop of Digne as…aerocorner.com

I think it gives him too much credit to call him a cult leader capable of mind control. Yes it’s a cult and yes he’s the leader but it’s one his members mostly created in their heads.
By being transgressive he sent the signal they can also be their worst selves, united in their hatred of the ‘other’. The not-so-subtle racism and other more blatant baiting was simply the cue they were looking for to be assholes again. With that they chose to throw their lot in with the ‘tough’ guy. Add a few vague promises of being ‘great’ again and they convinced themselves he had them on the right track. He wasn’t cunning or smart or especially manipulative - just willing to say horrible things out loud that they already thought but felt they couldn’t.
But it doesn’t fall apart when trump goes. The next leader, or batch of leaders and the wing of the party they’ve taken over can easily replace him. They just have to keep feeding that anger, resentment, bigotry and misogyny and they’ll keep the fan base indefinitely, though it will eventually dwindle as numbers of people inclined that way fade.
But my point is they are wilfully allowing themselves to be fooled. They’ve made a choice to stand on the dark side. On that count they haven’t been duped at all.

The Trumps milked their own ‘childrens’ charity For personal gain. The charity was shut down for it. His kids were ordered to attend mandatory courses. He had to settle out of court for bilking students at his ‘university’. That was shut down too for lack of accreditation. It is literally a matter of court record that he is a conman.
Deflecting to some other politician’s shady practices - real or imagined - is such an obvious copout.

Of course it is. He has done this his entire adult life and for some reason his followers support him hook, line and sinker. He is supposed to be a billionaire; surely he can buy his own ****en plane. His ****en cult will donate too !!!! Hope they remember the money Bannon stole that they donated for the the the former guy's wall and the former guy pardoned him when convicted.
New Yorkers tried to warn you all about this conman, you wouldn't listen. I will never understand it
