Donny Two Dolls vs. Donny One Jet
Luxury For Me, But Not For Thee (Or, Another Example of Trump Hypocrisy)
“You know, somebody said, ‘Oh, the shelves are going to be open,’” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, “Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls. So maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally.”
Pretty rich (pun intended) coming from a man who apparently “needed” a luxury apartment mansion decorated in 24K gold and marble. Yup, truly the perfect messenger for not living beyond the bare necessities. Right? Right?
Though maybe that is beside the point. Just a little while after his "let them eat cake" moment, news broke that Trump planned to potentially accept a jumbo jet from Qatar worth about $400 million. If that was not bad enough, other reports suggested that the jumbo jet would be transferred to his presidential library when(ever) he decides to leave office.
Tellingly, Trump did not deny the little arrangement. Instead, he called Democrats “World Class Losers” for having the nerve to criticize it. Unfortunately, Trump confidante and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer did not get that memo. In fact, she made 2 posts making quite clear her opinions about the deal.
Elsewhere, Trump declared that only a “stupid person” would turn down a “free [and] very expensive airplane.” In a certain way, he’s right. If companies affiliated with you and your family have already made hundreds of millions of dollars off industries you are in charge of regulating, why stop there?
If these same companies can get away with selling merchandise and memecoins in exchange for access to Trump himself, why stop there?
And if these same companies can make business deals with foreign governments like the U.A.E., then what’s wrong with the “Leader of the Free World” picking up a free plane from yet another foreign government in the Middle East?
“Luxury for me, poverty for thee.” That is Donald Trump’s post-2024 campaign message to the American people. Do you feel the pinch of rising groceries and rising costs? He doesn’t care. Are you upset that he failed to deliver on his big campaign message? It doesn’t matter.
Why? Because, you see, you are the problem. If you would just stop buying 30 dolls for your daughter, then you wouldn’t need to worry about inflation. Why can’t you just be a little more responsible for your money? Instead of blaming poor Donald for everything?
So, spare yourself your playthings and all the many other needless luxuries he claims you have. But remember, if Donald wants to have a free jet, or a military parade for his birthday, then he can. And he can make you pay for it too.
After all, the King has the right to play with his toys, purchased with your taxpayer dollars. And you? You should be satisfied with whatever crumbs fall from the master’s table.
So enjoy whatever you can get.
