Trump: “If I had my choice, what would I like to do? Take the oil, because it’s there for the taking… Unfortunately, the American people would like to see us come home. If it were up to me, I’d take the oil. I’d keep the oil. I would make plenty of money.”

      He’s abusing the powers of the presidency for personal gains and admitting it. Impeach and convict him.

    2. “If it were up to me, I would make plenty of money.”

      Really, you don’t say.

    3. “Unfortunately ,the American people would like to see us come home” Very telling

      “If I had my way, I would trade the blood of other Americans for short term gains to my personal wealth.”

      Say what you want about how disgusting this attitude is, but he’s saying what the wealthy think. He just happens to have a pretty clear cut case in front of him where he’d literally be trading blood and lives for personal gain. What’s really disgusting isn’t that he thinks like this or that he’s saying this, it’s that there are people that will still back him if he went through with it.

      Yes, Donald. We know you like to take things that don’t belong to you.

    6. When has he ever listened to “the people”? 🙄🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

      He may be shocked to learn that he can’t take that money with him where he’s going

    8. If anything were up to me I’d make plenty of money too. But unfortunately it was up to 20-something Elon Musk zealots.

    9. The fact that he is so emboldened by his ability to have no consequences to his actions that he is saying the quiet part out loud is terrifying.

    10. That’s all he thinks of. Making money. While stealing. Not governing a nation, but stealing and making money.

    11. It’s insane that his supporters hear stuff like this and they think “what he means is, America would make a lot of money!” and ignore that he’s talking about using the military to steal from other countries, and thinking that they will personally benefit from him doing so.

      Trump has only ever acted in his personal self interest.

      That’s how he views everything. That’s why he’s talking about Canada and Greenland and panama. He just views them as they got the taking

      Not money to benefit the american people…

      Money to benefit himself.

      He’d steal the oil and personally gain, is what he’s saying out loud.

    14. I’m so over this administration. Please, but wait. When the cool people come back guess who gets blamed for what’s happening NOW?

      I should mention that I’m at stress level eleven right now. I wish I could sleep. I wish I could just dive into my work but no that’s all f’d too.

      Anyone with open eyes realizes that Trump’s business model is composed of bullying, lying, cheating and stealing. He has no other playbook.

      He has always used the office to make money for his pedo family and friends. They all need to go.

    17. The American people don’t care about how much money he would make. We want our soldiers home and not to die for oil.

    18. So he’s admitting that it is about the oil and that it is totally optional. That this is a war of choice. He’s saying nothing here about bringing freedom to the Iranian people.

      “***I*** would make plenty of money”

      The MAGA crowd has allowed this con man to believe that the entirety of the ~~USA~~ *WORLD* is his for the plundering.

      Terrible world we live in.

    20. A Megalomaniac the manifestation of all American greed and vulture capitalism.

    21. Republicans lost their shit when Barry wore a tan suit but they smile and nod when dear leader says fuck shit like this? Spineless losers

      What the fuck kind of mentality is that? My neighbor has a nicer truck than me, and I’m a lot bigger than him. By Trump’s logic that truck should be mine. It’s practically there for the taking. This is what happens when an absolute maniac is in a position of power and surrounds himself by yes-men.

    23. The other times the Republican Party invaded the Middle East they twisted themselves into knots saying it was anything other than taking the oil because it would ruin careers.

      Everyone that voted for him was all about him being a businessman. I pointed out that the US is a non-profit, and they all laughed.

      Since he got re-elected he has done nothing but take money out of the US coffers and spend it on properties, because that’s all he knows.

      He is fleecing America and getting richer off it. Our debt is through the ceiling by trillions.

      He’s always been in the pocket of Big Oil, that’s why he is so against wind and solar power. He is only a puppet for tech bros and the oil companies who pay him.
