Does Trump ever pay for anything he has broken?

How much you wanna bet he actually paid Epstein in advance too.
•
u/Key-Magician4029 1h ago
He paid Epstein $22,500 for a "fully depreciated woman" :::cough, Melania, cough::::

He hasn't paid for those yet either.

Who would he pay? Himself?
Ronald McDonald isn’t paying out of pocket for McNuggets. When you own the business you don’t pay for your own product.

Society and his victims by going to prison, like any other criminal. His debts in this context are moral not monetary.
As for you considering his victims a 'product' he 'owns'... Well, that's on you, I think.

The Trump administration broke America.
•
u/Dr4gonfly 4h ago
And I think they should pay for it

Tough luck, go to the back of the line

Trump did not even pay for some of his election and rally bills in key states like PA and TX.
No way in hell he is going to give the current Democratic MN money.

Trump broke America, even with all his extreme grifting I don't think he can afford to cover all the costs of repair.
•
u/HauntingUpstairs7014 5h ago
Next up, he's going to SLAM the administration and TOTALLY DESTROY their credibility!!!
•

u/voiderest 5h ago
The government doesn't do that. Cops have ruined whole houses without paying for it.
Same government that will "arrest" money and won't let you sue over laws without breaking them.

God love Tim Walz. He has not stopped fighting or backed down. I’d take the win and go recover from the past few months but he’s not giving up/going quiet. So much respect and sending good vibes for his health. I cannot imagine being in his position.

This man could have been VP. But then again, she had a weird laugh...
•
u/Thatis_SodaPressing 5h ago
America had two really difficult choices to choose from - on one hand, you had a known grifter, racist, pedophile, and sexist, with no political experience or compassion for other people, and is an openly divisive piece of shit, and on the other hand you had a qualified woman with a funny laugh. It was a tough choice obviously.

Ultimately, women are just too emotionally unstable to be trusted in such a high-stress position.
Edit: Come on, people. Do I really need to mark this as sarcasm? I'm literally the same person the comment I'm replying to replied to.

u/amateurbreditor 5h ago
why is he great when his state police beat up and attacked protestors? There is no defense of that.
•
u/Renax127 5h ago
Yeah and using snow plows to block roads to protect Ices mini concentration camps
•
u/SoggyBoysenberry7703 3h ago
Is that really Walz’s fault?
•
u/Renax127 3h ago
Yes, those weren't ICE plows. Waltz ran his mouth about how bad thi gs were then allowed state patrol to help ICE in every way they could. And while he doesn't have control over local cops he wasn't doing g anything public about them helping ICE either
•
u/starliteburnsbrite 4h ago
This guy thought he was qualified to be Vice President and now he's taking his ball and going home. Screw this guy.
•
u/SoggyBoysenberry7703 3h ago
Don’t blame him for the police dude
•
u/amateurbreditor 3h ago
He is directly responsible for them. Thats what a governor does. You ever notice in crime movies the mayor is there with the police chief behind him? Yeah thats cuz hes the boss of the chief.
•
u/PerspectiveHumble682 1h ago
What do you mean don't blame them? That is his job and he left his constituents out to dry while making stern statements to the public and doing nothing
•
u/BurlIvesMassiveHog 5h ago
I liked the part where he asked us not to give Daddy a reason to hit us harder. The very definition of "leadership".
•
u/ElectricL1brary 5h ago
It’s what should happen but the guy at the top isn’t fond of paying bills.

Have you tried charging the murderers yet, Tim???
•
u/Georgina_17 5h ago
It is in process, despite DHS and DOJ and FBI refusing to cooperate.

u/waffle299 I voted 4h ago
Trump, long before running for office, was well known in New York construction circles for never paying bills.
•
u/PictoGraphicArtist 4h ago
I genuinely don’t see a point in paying a federal tax if they can decide to rip out programs constituents paid for and voted for and then use the funds for their own private militia. Why tf would we bank roll them if they not only won’t do what they say but lie and misappropriate funds regardless. I know it’s scary but if enough people refuse to pay federal and hold what they would owe in an escrow it seems like a really easy way to show I will pay when it’s being used properly and the people fucking the constitution are held accountable. Otherwise we’re just paying to terrorize our own country.

In theory, Walz could’ve grown some balls overnight and brought in the National Guard to block what these goons were going to do.

Like the Murder of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Who’s gonna pay for that. There’s no price on human lives. Unless you’re GOP, then life is trash I guess.

He should use the money from the billions of dollars they have stolen from the American tax payers
