Every crazy conspiracy theory you've ever heard could be at least partially true. He hands the phone to me and on the other line is a governor friend of his. Super nice guy. married 50 years or something. Asking me what we are doing down in Cabo, how we like it, etc.

I get off the phone and look them both up. There is an audio recording of them plotting to murder someone if their extortion plan fails. This was never reported in the media. Nothing was done. They both lived happily ever after. And one more thing. The media is totally corrupt as well. This deep state thing we hear about is 100% accurate. Funny thing is, I asked him who the most corrupt and without hesitation he said Barbara Bush. Her and GHW were the worst. Again, he was a Republican. BTW, Ronnie was the best by a mile.

So what does this have to do with Trump? He came into office as a total outsider and blew the whistle on it all. The fake news. The deep state. The corrupt CIA and FBI. Trump basically blew up the charade that is the USA. And these forces are going to get payback.

If Trump wouldn't have come along and screwed things up, we'd all still be living a fantasy while the country continued its slow but steady decline into oblivion.

This entire mess is Trump's fault.
You are wrong — YES, Donald Trump’s Election blew it all up and now WE KNOW.
He was a total outsider who self funded his Primary against 16 Establishment Elite Republicans and broke all GOP Records to win the Nomination.

President .trump says it best :

They are really after YOU, I’m just in the way.

He didn’t screw it all up .... the people who voted for him did it. The Deplorables.
And we will do it again. The FED-UP crowd will win, more of us than them.

Can you tell us who the voices in your head are, and what they're saying? Is it the Russians again?

The only people hearing these "dog whistles" are people like you. If you're hearing racist, misogynistic, or other things that aren't actually there, perhaps you're the racist, misogynist, etc.

You mean Trump is no longer a champion and fearless leader of the common folk abused by DC elites?

There is no going back for the media either. They just look like idiots now when they pretend that we still believe them.
Anyone who didn't know DC is corrupt is naive after all isn't that one of the reasons people voted for Mr Hope & Change and VP Joe Biden? Yet nothing changed, They both enriched themself, nothing new.

how do you define corrupt? Do you really expect that people go into a life of politics for 'public service'?

Why resort to personal attacks, is that all you've got left?

Mr. Trump, whose campaign has just $1.3 million cash on hand, paid at least $1.1 million to his businesses and family members in May for expenses associated with events and travel costs. The total represents nearly a fifth of the $6 million that his campaign spent in the month. In 2015, about $2.7 million was paid to at least seven companies Mr. Trump owns or to people who work for his real estate and branding empire, repaying them for services provided to his campaign. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/22/u...-payments.html
And here's an interesting piece on how he blew a billion dollar campaign fund for 2020. Not exactly what you'd expect from such a 'stable genius'
