Trump is not secretly making money from his office

and covertly manipulating the markets for personal gain.
No, he is doing it openly and brazenly, with no fear of consequences.

2. There is no doubt that even more heinous crimes occur behind the scenes.

Especially with the spawn.

6. It's certainly one heckuva shakedown cruise.

I bet what he would really LIKE to do, but knows he can’t, is to have White House visitors arrive wheeled in, upside-down, hanging by their ankles from a track that takes them from the outer office into the Oval Office.

And then he gets to collect whatever falls out of guests’ pockets as a “tip” for just being his “marvelous” self.

Is there any context to this absurd rant? Or do DUmmies just need some absurdity to distract them from Trump's Israel-Hamas success?

... covertly manipulating the markets for personal gain.

IF Trump is active in the stock and/or commodity markets, even though he is a billionaire, in the context of the scope of those markets, Trump would not be a player large enough to have great effect. IIRC, Friday or Thursday the DJIA dropped on the order of 600 points, which I'm sure had DUpipo rejoicing, but yesterday the DJIA went up nearly 600 points, which would PO the DUpipo who rejoiced last week. In the real world, the only thing Trump did to trigger that recovery was his accomplishments in the Israel-Hamas settlement. If that be "manipulating", let's have much more "manipulation" of that kind!
