6. Are they also tracking Chump's profits from $Trump cryptocurrency?

I'm not sure how much of that info is released to the public. It's a volatile thing of course, but Chump doesn't care if it allows him to stash his bribes, grifts and other ill-gotten gains.

Or he could lose it all when things go south ....

2. Peanuts from Trump - aflatoxins

3. My recent (necessary) road trip cost me about 100 peanuts more than it should have

I'm really fortunate that I no longer have to drive to work, and I feel deeply sorry for those who have NO CHOICE but to pay whatever gas costs. I simply cannot understand how ANYONE could continue to support this self-obsessed, callous IDIOT.

[SamuelAdams]

4. Good.

Democrats have readymade ads for the fall.

[orangecrush]

5. Quiet, Piggy

[Rebl2]

10. No

keep on talking like this, piggy, and piss off even more maga

[orangecrush]

17. Sadly

His hard core base would cheerfully sacrifice their firstborn for Orange Caligula.

The gas prices mean nothing to them.

[Initech]

19. I really wish he would shut the fuck up for even a week.

Fuck you Donny!

[orangecrush]

24. Same

7. When Biden was president....

the price of gasoline wasn't "peanuts." The rabid-right made it sound like the end of modern civilization. And Biden had the COVID pandemic to deal with, and all the foul ups from Agent Orange himself. And you know what? He didn't construct a single ballroom, arch, didn't have any grand military parades for his birthday, didn't reline the reflecting pool, and wasn't stealing billions from taxpayers!

But that's the difference between an actual public servant and a psychopathic greed-head, isn't it.

[calimary]

23. Hey, I like that "psychopathic greed-head" labeling!

Has a real ring to it.

[Bengus81]

25. In Wichita reg unleaded was $2.85 on Biden's last day as President. Now $4.00

Facts with receipts for all the Trump bootlickers around here.

[usedtobedemgurl]

8. Not sure he is out of touch on this.

I can see the price rising to $10 a gallon. Be is right, this is peanuts compared go that.

Just joking, yeah out of you h with what we are all going through.

[EnergizedLib]

9. They'll put up with it about another five-and-a-half months

Then? Bloodbath.

[LiberalArkie]

11. He is saying that this is nothing. Not saying "Just wait to you see what it will be this summer"

[Torchlight]

12. Kinda wishing I could fill up my tank with peanuts.

It would cost about 4/5ths less expensive than the trump gas prices.

[generalbetrayus]

13. No, this is just plain fucking nuts!

How much longer do we have to wait to "pea" on his grave, for Darwin's sake?

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. Hes not even pretending to care

He's probably making money hand over fist.

[ColoringFool]

27. "[P]robably"?!

[not fooled]

15. Well, to a lot of idiots

that IS all he has to say to get them to nod in agreement. Paying through the nose to support their idol, who has them conned into thinking the monumentally disastrous illegal Iran war of aggression was necessary to keep the US safe from a nuclear bomb.

Stupidity and ignorance.

[58Sunliner]

16. Sadistic.

[dickthegrouch]

18. I'm looking at having to pay an extra $800 for my vacation in July

4 flight segments for each of us at $100 fuel surcharge per segment.

Normally anything stolen from us over $500 is grand theft in this State.

The Iran war has not yet been sanctioned by Congress. It IS illegal. Trump can pay for it out out of his grifting. Then he can refund all of us for the tariffs and other thefts he's perpetrated without following the law.

(I know pipe dreams, but I will never believe he's anything other than 100% responsible for this mess).

[twodogsbarking]

20. Those aren't peanuts. They are your balls yam face.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

21. K&R

[calimary]

22. How sick of that face am I ...

And not just his face, but EVERYTHING ELSE about him, also.

[meadowlander]

26. My $400 million ballroom and self-settlements aren't going to pay for themselves.

[LilElf70]

28. He needs to buy a vowel or two,,,,,, or three

Even then, he still has no idea how badly this is affecting Americans. Especially those on fixed incomes.

He has "NOT A CLUE".

I don't know if I can take 2 more years of this shit. Imagine what the deficit will be by then.

Conservative party? Yeah, I don't think so.

I think he thinks we're playing the game Monopoly with play money.

[Aussie105]

30. From a distance, I swear I can hear the sound of drums.

Sound like war drums, and they are getting louder.

Civil disobedience, riots across the land, a rebellion, a revolution?

Until that happens to break the spell, Americans will continue to suffer more and more, and overseas politicians, once diplomatic, will laugh out in the open at the sad decline of a once powerful country.
