The day before his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly be attending an interfaith prayer service in Washington D.C. His wealthiest supporters can also attend — if they write or solicit a big enough check.

Last time he tried to hide it. This time he is being completely open about the fact that he is for sale because he believes that he is untouchable.

Because he is. The GOP has all three branches of government, a good chunk of state legislatures and governors, and a media sphere that's indifferent to actively complicit in helping to cosign whatever he does.

He tried to hide it last time?

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 20 points 3 days ago

yes. the onslaught is going to be far more intense this go around

[-] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago

That was sarcasm, he didn’t hide anything. He’s openly corrupt and no one with any power cares.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 days ago

no for sure. i got that. but you still hit on a terrifying truth. he was trying to hide it before. there was at least some reason for him to act like he wasn't who he is. this time there's none of that

[-] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

Hide what? he’s been an openly corrupt and fascist piece of shit since the 90s or maybe earlier.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 days ago

exactly. that was him trying to act like he wasn't the monumental piece of shit informed people know him to be. he's going to be so much more intense this time
