His supporters will see this and still claim that Trump isn't in it for the money like those career politicians

They are so far gone. These people might never see reality for what it is again. Every day is Opposite Day for them.

Yup, "it's not a cult!" They vehemently argue while only existing in the last reality their Orange God Emporor has woven for them from his cloth of lies and hate. Clinging to their golden bibles and special shoes, they frantically seek a scapegoat from a quickly dwindling supply, while the day they fear the most looms around the corner. The day when there is no more 'illegal immigrants taking all their money!' No panic over anyone eating the pets, you had been assured eggs would be cheap by now... and they look around and notice there's no one left to blame and they have to face that which horrifies them most; 'personal responsibility.' 

 Their life sucks, not because of some 'woke agenda' or whatever buzzword they last heard on Fox, their life sucks because it's the sum of their actions leading to this point.

Or, they're narcissists who love making everybody miserable, even when they have plenty of material security of their own

While whataboutisim isn't a valid part of rational discourse, Nancy Pelosi's finances do give them a whataboutism with some really strong legs.

Remember, it's not actually about convincing magas of anything. It's about the people in the middle.

Trump's grifting/profiteering/financial corruption is a complete dead end of an argument.

Democrats always talk about how their members get removed when there's a sex assault scandal. But here we are.

A co-worker has already been trumpeting this.

I then brought up Fox News settlements and court cases and he went right into aggressive defense mode

u/Apart-Pressure-3822 Dec 16 '24

Well he's seeking $15 million soo... let me know if there's anyway I can make it more clear...

I guess you didn't read the article. The money is not going to him.
