    $10 million is many times more money than the majority of people will each make in a lifetime. Fucking bonkers.

    I think this should read “Trump has spent $10.7 million of taxpayer money at his own businesses”.

    But if I start a job at a big company and funnel money into my own pocket I get in trouble? Not fair.

    If only Little t could forgo his precious golf, we could save $10.7 billion dollars!

    Remember folks, third times the charm.

    Hopefully this is the only time I have to truly advocate for someone to be assassinated

    Chill. It’s just research for the people’s interests.

    The PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund are racing to reshape their plans to combine their rival golf circuits, emboldened by President Donald J. Trump’s eagerness to play peacemaker for a fractured sport, according to four people familiar with the matter.

    Since the start of secret talks in April 2023, PGA Tour executives and their Saudi counterparts have been weighing how they could somehow blend the premier American golf circuit with the Saudis’ LIV Golf operation. But negotiators have struggled to design a deal that would satisfy regulators along with players, investors and executives.

    Mr. Trump’s return to Washington has offered a new opening: After an Oval Office meeting this month that ethics experts have said tested the bounds of propriety, the two sides are considering options that might have stalled during Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s presidency but that the Trump administration’s antitrust enforcers could offer a friendlier glance.

    The more that the orange baby is pacified, the better. That’s quite an expensive pacifier though.

      This isn’t pacifying him, though. This is the second time he’s done this and he seems to be doing it at record speed! This needs to be stopped not encouraged.

      Trump ain’t running things. I think he might have pushed the thing on paper straws, but I’m sure someone else wrote even that executive order. He’s like little Tommen in Game of Thrones happily scribbling his name on whatever they put in front of him.
