    Uhh, what? The president is buying stock in Media companies? Wow.

    You know that’s where we’re heading, but when you actually see it happen it’s still surprising, here in the west we’ve never seen this before. I hate to be right about this, I did call it though.

      Not just media companies. Media companies where he has a say over the approval of their mergers and acquisitions.

    All the money in the world won’t make people genuinely like Trump as a person. He has made himself into a caricature of bloated failing capitalism and old ideas. The only time his name will be celebrated will be when it is taken down from somewhere or he finally leaves that McBody behind.

      I’ve got a name-tagged bottle of champagne in my fridge, cooled and ready for the occasion. Whenever I open the door, it’s lying there as a happy reminder that, unlike men, the Reaper does not take bribes. He does not respond to threats or tantrums. And he does not chicken out. He’s coming for him. And once he does, I’ll enjoy that bottle and piss it all over 47’s legacy.

          First off, props to you, mate! A toast to this does not require alcohol anyhow. Endorphins will come naturally.
