It’s going to be fun when we beat him again and those stupid treasonous imprisoned fucks will realize they have to serve out their sentences.

He isn’t saving them even if he wins.

Apparently, he was disappointed about how trashy the J6 seditionists looked. Although I somehow doubt he would have helped even if they looked "classier" given his history with not paying his debts.

Trump had a money raising lottery where the winners would get to have dinner at the White House with Donnie and Melania.

There was never a single winner. Not one.

Nobody thinks less of Trump supporters than Donald Trump.

It seems like it's unclear who actually sang it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just recorded by a bunch of randos vs people actually in jail. But the idea than anybody could actually believe that a version of America the Beautiful would make the billboard charts and beat Taylor Swift is comical.

Well, it was from around the time the song released… it unfortunately seems true. It’d be interesting if there was a way to analyze the data to see how many of the downloads were unique…

It had 442,000 streams while Morgan "dipshit" Wallen's song had 38.9 million according to your source.

This is yet another reason why we’re fucked.
