Trump’s Only God is Money and His Greed May Become His Downfall

Trump is wrong about everything. His ignorance is exposed every time he opens his pie hole. If he has a brain, it is either very small or infected with a terminal disease.

The Trump Klan has one god and that god is money. Sadly, Fred Trump’s descendants were failures. Fred Trump gifted his son, Donald, with more than 400 million dollars, paid for deferments from the war in Vietnam, and likely bought his diploma from Wharton. It took less than two years for him to lose everything. His real estate “empire” only existed because the Saudi Royal family bailed him out, and Russian Oligarchs laundered billions of dollars buying properties whose values were inflated by the Trump organization.

Think about this irrefutable fact. Somehow millions of voters gifted Trump with the Electoral College in 2016 and this lifelong failure became our nation’s 45th president. There had never been a greater disaster in American history.

For four years he did nothing with the exception of using his office to increase his personal wealth. Meanwhile he became the leader of the white supremacy movement and intentionally divided our nation. He preyed on the weak-minded, the poorly informed, racists, and bigots who were in need of a leader.

There has never been a response from his “people” about where some campaign donations went, or where the money is which was unspent for his meager inauguration.

Without any accomplishments, Trump has been the most infamous con man in America. Over decades he peddled everything from water to non-fungible tokens. Of course he failed, but that never stopped him from attempting to take advantage of the fools who support his vile agenda.

Last week Trump faced his fourth indictment, this time in Georgia. His mugshot became a laughable symbol of “the real Donald Trump.” It was no surprise that he decided to make money from the ugly look on his face. He has ordered the manufacture of coffee mugs, t-shirts, and various other useless crap and is selling them to his cult. However, this time he may be facing a lawsuit for his greedy endeavor.

It appears that the state of Georgia owns the copyright for mugshots taken in its state.

There may be a small problem with his vending operation. According to MSNBC's Dean Obeidallah...

"Trump’s sale of that mug shot, taken by the Fulton County sheriff, may violate U.S. copyright laws. This could mean that theoretically, the millions he is making off that photo may rightfully belong to the Fulton County sheriff."

That opinion was affirmed in a 2022 article in the University of Georgia School of Law’s Journal of Intellectual Property Law that noted that...

"In the context of photographs taken by law enforcement during the booking process, the author of the mugshot photograph is the law enforcement agency."

There is a real possibility that any money received from the sale of articles containing his decrepit old face may belong to the sheriff’s office.

Did I claim that Trump and his supporters are not the sharpest tools in the shed? I’m sorry. I assumed you already knew that.
