Hehehe THE SHEEP is back. I specifically asked you for a reference point in 2016 for Forbes, you think I don't know what I am saying. If you were not a cultist sheep, you would have sidestepped this argument because even Forbes enlists Trump as a perennial fraudulent self worth estimator. But you wouldn't know this, because are a dick-sucking sheep.

For years, those who know Trump know that he overvalues his self worth every time, depending on the deal he's chasing. And so for years, Forbes have disagreed about what Trump is worth. They have to always use estimates, because he never publishes his real worth. This is straight from Forbes.

But you want me to believe that his self worth reduced "because he became President" or because he said so? You don lost your mind nuccah.

At least we know the others like Basilico and Dayo come with half knowledge to this shit. The phuck are you coming here with no knowledge at all and trying to form intelligentsia with megede fegede?

Go and educate yourself on what you support before you come and debate me SHEEP.
Admit it's hard to determine the net worth of a person whose companies are not listed.
Agree that media never reports anything positive..
I won't say how much he is worth , but anything from the liberal media about Trump is always a lie.

FEMA chief who sent $59 million to pay for luxury hotels occupied by illegals in New York was fired.
The money has been recovered.

Separately 8 Inspector Generals fired by Trump have sued to get their jobs back. Congress 2022 passed a law that the President could only fire them after giving congress a 30 day notice. Case has been assigned to an Obama judge.
Banana Republic.
Trump should have them arrested if they had covered up any fraud.

"Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said Tuesday that she has faith the nation’s leaders will ultimately abide by the decisions of the courts — a key question at a moment when President Donald Trump’s initiatives are being challenged, and some of his top advisers are complaining of judicial overreach."

American justices are now afraid the executive might not abide by judicial ruling. grin grin grin. Even in Nigeria it isnt so.

Yea JD Vance is an ex service member too. Who is embarrassingly a lawyer as well. Yet he was online few days ago insinuating that Trump should commit an arrest-able offense by ignoring judges.

You are enemies of America. You know the things you want for this country will bring her to her knees. You know that for a fact and that’s actually why you support it. On the other hand, Trump, musk and Vance weakening American institutions and playing with the idea of leaving NATO. If that’s not number one enemy I don’t know what is.

As usual it’s a game to you online trolls

Samantha Power increased her net worth in 4 years as head of USAID with $23 million. Trump has given DOGE the go ahead to investigate these bureaucrats who seem to be very savvy investors.

Both Republican and Democrats are key recipients of suspect funds

🧵THE UNIPARTY UNMASKED – They Believe They Are “Democracy”

The seven NGOs in the chart below, in my view, represent the Uniparty. Each of these organizations receives substantial financial support from USAID or the Department of State.

Around 2019, the phrase “democracy in danger” began to dominate public discourse, amplified by the media. This was odd—after all, the U.S. is a democracy (or more precisely, a constitutional republic). But as I traced the influence of these NGOs, a pattern emerged: they are controlled by establishment politicians, they play a major role in shaping political narratives worldwide, and their core mission is always framed as “protecting democracy.”

Originally, these NGOs were created to support U.S. democratic efforts abroad—many of them emerging during the Cold War to combat the spread of communism. But with the fall of the Soviet Union, their original purpose faded. Instead of dissolving, they redefined their mission. Now, they have positioned themselves as the guardians of democracy itself.

This shift explains why Trump’s re-election was framed as a "threat to democracy." To these NGOs, “democracy” means themselves. Their survival depends on maintaining that role, and any challenge to their authority is perceived as a direct attack on democracy itself.

Whether you or I like China is irrelevant. China is the new superpower and Trump’s grandchildren are singing Xi’s praises in Mandarin. China is growing and your idol is still rambling with ‘a concept of the plan.'

By the way, how much are eggs today? cheesy
Trump is a liar. He has not managed to replace chicken slaughtered to grow overnight and start laying eggs.

Whether it's ducks or chickens, since the current strain of bird flu, H5N1, reached the United States in 2022, over 148 million birds have been ordered euthanized.

"It's a staggering number, there is no doubt," said Jodie Guest, a professor of epidemiology with Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health in Atlanta. "But it is, and always has been a policy across administrations, with the USDA, that this is how they handle infections like this among poultry. And as we've seen bird flu move [across] species, it becomes even more important to try to contain that infection in the flocks that it's in, so that we don't continue to see spread."

By the way, EM said he may have been wrong on the location of the delivery of said condoms but concluded that the USAID should not be spending $50M on condoms for whatever reason. Therefore, there is no victory lap between whether it was Gaza or Mogadishu. It is still a waste of $50M.
Thanks I stand corrected.

He is smart enough to know that Gaza support Hamas and they have zero intentions of living side by side peacefully with Israel. For now they need an independent state which includes a right of return as they demand. I doubt you know what right of return means to the demographics and democracy of Israel.

The US is going to have to tackle the misinformation that is being spread at a dizzying pace.
Foolish . Where was it debunked about 50 million for condoms to Gaza. Condoms that Hamas attached bombs to and sent them floating to Israel hoping Israeli kids will pick them.
You are beneath a mad man
It was the WH spox who said that could you give his whole statement .

Trump also said "fight like hell" . He also said "fine people". The media cut off the context to accuse him of saying the opposite .
It's like me saying "I am foolish enough to believe Ijebos is normal". Then someone just quotes the part

USAID budget is $40 bln, immaterial

Obama didn't have Pentagon?
I doubt you studied economics . If you did it was a subtopic about how liberal policies are great. Obama laid the ground for expanded deficits

It consumes more than one-fifth (22 percent) of gross domestic product. Meanwhile, the national debt—at nearly $17 trillion and counting—now exceeds the size of the entire economic product.

Entitlement programs are the main drivers of federal spending and debt. The single fastest-growing sector of federal spending is healthcare, and the not-so “Affordable Care Act” (aka Obamacare) would increase federal healthcare spending an additional 15 percent in only 10 years. Without reform, the three largest entitlements—Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid with Obamacare—are on track to consume more than half of the U.S. budget by the end of the current decade. Yet few lawmakers are working to address this fundamental (and some might argue, existential) spending challenge.

The current budget debate consists of two main parts: Funding for Obamacare and the conditions under which the debt ceiling may be raised...


Wanton spending as bemeruca been preaching to you Democrats scream about Trump cutting Medicare and Medicaid which increase every year, have been increasing per year and will continue doing so.

🚨🇺🇸USAID PAID TUITION FOR FUTURE AL QAEDA LEADER

Bombshell documents confirm USAID funded Anwar al-Awlaki’s college tuition, years before he became a top al Qaeda recruiter and was taken out by a U.S drone strike.

Al-Awlaki lied about his nationality, scamming his way into a taxpayer-funded J-1 visa, and USAID paid in full, no questions asked.

He mentored 9/11 hijackers, inspired the Fort Hood shooter, and backed the Christmas Day bombing plot - all after getting a U.S-funded degree.

Judge rules FBI must release all documents in the Florida Trump case. This was a leftist FOIA lawsuit .

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/10/fbi-trump-classified-docs-case-015570

When the case was ongoing Judge Cannon selected a former Judge to go through and determine what was classified. jackboot refused, saying the documents were too secret, the DOJ appealed to 11th circuit which barred the Special Master and declared the documents could not be reviewed by him, a former judge who has security clearance.
Jackboot also did not provide Trump's defence with those documents , he claimed they was too classified for his counsel.

Now Judge Beryl Howell who has been ruthlessly sentencing J6ers has ruled that a journalist be provided with those documents.
This judge. She is anti Trump to her bone narrow.

I posted this 4 years ago. The poisonous relationship Obama built with media.
Previously most media competed in fairness,any channel could instantly give you a fairly balanced view of the news .
When Obama won ,he co-opted the media into his administration.You could not say anything negative about him because it was racist.He has never held a press conference without a fawning drooling activist masquerading as a journalist.
When Trump was campaigning,most channels covered him live,they thought he was a clown full of bluster. When he won the IC ganged up with MSM and became 24/7 extension of the Democrat Party.
Today we have people here who believe everything from the liberal media That to me is when the rain started beating us The election of Obama.
Change my mind.

Still on Obama . Why the leftist media treated him as the messiah.


ABC News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, National Security Adviser.
CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.

ABC News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan,Obama’s Deputy Press Secretary
ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama’s Special Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood
CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Secretary Tom Nides.


Ben Rhodes created an echo chamber. He would come up with the narrative and all media would echo it. Above is his appointments.

We created an echo chamber,” Rhodes said, when asked about arms-control experts that appeared at think tanks and were then used as sources for hundreds of reporters – whom the article described as “clueless.”

Of those experts, Rhodes said: “They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.”......
The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. …
