The Greatest Econony Every, FOR TRUMP.

King Putz says Tiny Tim Cratchit can do with just 1 pencil for Christmas, the Trump economy is great, if your TRUMP.  Just How Stupid Are You?

Verifiable Estimates of Donald Trump’s Net Worth Increase Since Taking Office in 2025Yes, there are verifiable estimates from reputable sources like Forbes and Bloomberg tracking the change in Donald Trump’s net worth since he took office on January 20, 2025. These are based on public financial disclosures, stock valuations (e.g., Trump Media & Technology Group, or TMTG), real estate appraisals, and cryptocurrency holdings. However, exact figures are estimates due to the private nature of much of his wealth, market volatility (especially in crypto and TMTG shares), and varying methodologies between trackers. Trump’s net worth has reportedly surged, driven largely by cryptocurrency ventures (e.g., $TRUMP memecoin and World Liberty Financial), licensing deals, and TMTG stock performance.Key Estimates and TimelineHere’s a summary of the most cited figures from major sources, focusing on pre-inauguration (late 2024/early 2025) vs. current (as of late 2025). The increase is generally pegged at $2.5–3 billion year-to-date, with Forbes providing the most detailed breakdown.

Jul–Sep 2025

  • Forbes’ Detailed Breakdown: Their September 2025 report attributes the $3 billion year-over-year gain (from $4.3 billion in 2024) directly to his presidency, including a 580% jump in licensing revenue to $45 million (e.g., deals in Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, and Qatar) and crypto sales exceeding $1 billion via family-controlled entities.

    Earlier in 2025 (March/April), Forbes valued him at $5.1 billion, showing intra-year growth of ~$2.2 billion by September.

    palmbeachpost.com
  • Bloomberg’s View: More conservative on volatility, they note his net worth held steady around $6.4–7.75 billion through mid-2025, with ~$620 million from crypto reshaping his portfolio but offset by TMTG fluctuations.
    bloomberg.com

    They highlight over $10 billion in Trump-branded real estate projects since early 2025 as a longer-term booster.

    bloomberg.com
  • Other Trackers: The New York Times (July 2025) estimated up to $10 billion including illiquid assets like crypto, while outlets like WION and Money Digest align with Forbes’ $3 billion gain narrative.

    Wikipedia’s aggregation (as of Dec 2025) cites a post-inauguration rise from ~$6 billion to $7+ billion, factoring in a June 2025 disclosure of $1.6 billion in assets and $600 million income.

    en.wikipedia.org

Key Factors Behind the Increase

  • Cryptocurrency Ventures: The biggest driver, adding $1–2 billion. The $TRUMP memecoin (launched Jan 2025) and World Liberty Financial (family-controlled, with 75% revenue share) generated over $1 billion in token sales, though values have since dipped.
  • TMTG/Truth Social: Stake valued at ~$2 billion (114 million shares), with spikes around inauguration (e.g., +20% pre-Jan 20).
  • Real Estate & Licensing: New deals (e.g., Vietnam resort, Gulf projects) added $400–500 million; golf clubs profited $66 million in 2024, up 30% into 2025.
  • Legal Wins: Overturned fraud penalties (~$500 million saved) and settlements (e.g., $15 million from Disney) reduced liabilities.
  • Presidential Perks: $400,000 salary plus gifts like a $400 million Qatari jet (for his library).

Caveats and Verifiability

  • Volatility: Crypto and TMTG can swing wildly (e.g., $TRUMP fell from $44 to $6 per token by Oct 2025), so daily tallies fluctuate.
    moneydigest.com
  • No Full Disclosure: Trump hasn’t released tax returns since 2016, relying on estimates from public filings (e.g., June 2025 disclosure).
  • Criticism: Watchdogs (e.g., House Democrats) claim up to $11.6 billion in unreported crypto, accusing conflicts of interest.

    Supporters view it as savvy branding.

  • Ongoing Tracking: Forbes and Bloomberg update regularly; check their sites for real-time figures.

In summary, the most substantiated tally is Forbes’ $3 billion increase from 2024 to mid-2025, with ~$1–2 billion post-inauguration—verifiable via their methodologies and public data. This makes his second term the most financially lucrative for any U.S. president on record.

When Reality Out-Parodies Parody – The Hegseth Way

There are moments when satire just gives up. When reality walks out on stage, takes the microphone, and delivers a performance so absurd, so painfully self-parodying, that there’s simply nothing left for me to exaggerate.

Take the U.S. Navy versus the drug boats.

We’re talking about fiberglass skiffs with outboards — basically the aquatic version of a lifted pickup with three mismatched tires. And yet the Navy treats them like Bond villains. The playbook seems to be:
See fast boat. Panic. Blow it out of the water. Collect splinters. File no report.

All hands lost, mission accomplished, nobody has to explain a thing.

But over on the other side of the family tree, Little Sister Coast Guard didn’t get the memo.

They roll up in their white hulls, aviators on, probably a little classic rock on the radio. They spot a massive Venezuelan oil tanker violating sanctions and go:

“Yeah… we’ll take that.”

No shots.
No explosions.
No nervous sweating.
Just a polite but firm:
“Captain, we’re boarding your ship now.”

And the tanker captain — maybe high, maybe bored, maybe both — basically hands over a 600-foot steel fortress like it’s a lost dog he found on the highway.

So here we are:
The Navy vaporizes fishing boats like they’re running a Death Star internship program.
The Coast Guard arrests an entire tanker crew like they’re checking for expired flares.

At this point, the joke isn’t the joke.
Reality is the joke.
And satire just sits in the back of the room shaking its head, muttering, “I can’t compete with that.”

The Birds, The Birds, Who’s Killing The Birds. It’s a MAGA Quiz

No, I don’t mean the rock group — they did that to themselves.
I’m talking about those little flying buggers that crap all over our cars.
And if you live by the sea, that’s a lot of poop.

But birds are dying — or more accurately, we’re killing them.
Not for Thanksgiving or pot pie, but with our man-made murder machines.
Think of the gory mess after trying to fly through a 747’s jet engine. Not even “chop-chop.” Just… stock material.

But this isn’t really about the birds.
It’s about the fearful leader, his golf courses, and the pollution that could be avoided with renewable energy.
And yes, wind power only works when there’s wind — but with King Putz around, there’s never a shortage of hot air.

Now for the MAGA quiz: What kills more birds?

If you answered “windmills,” that begs the question: Just how stupid are you?

I could give you the statistics, but instead, I’ll make it a challenge.
Do the research yourself. Maybe even — wild thought — open a book.
Or, at the very least, ask your AI of choice.
But if you do, challenge #2 takes effect: Read the answer.

It’s all about the money.
Fossil fuels generate more income — directly and indirectly — than renewable energy ever could right now.
And the world’s richest aren’t building fortunes for tomorrow’s people.
They’re doing it all for themselves.

January 6, 2021 A few Patriots just had a little fun

Let’s get real.
On January 6, 2021 — a day meant for democracy — a mob of supporters of Donald J. Trump stormed the United States Capitol while Congress was certifying the 2020 presidential election. Encyclopedia Britannica+1
They didn’t just protest. They breached police lines, smashed windows, took over parts of the building, threatened lawmakers. HISTORY+1
This wasn’t a spontaneous outburst of frustration. Investigations show it was fueled by false election-fraud claims, coordinated activity, and leaders riling up the crowd. PBS+1
More than 1,000 people have been charged; many convicted of serious crimes associated with the event. Wikipedia+1
And yet, some act like it was no big deal — just a protest gone “a little too far.” That’s either willful ignorance or selective memory.

So… how stupid are you if you:

  • Pretend they were “just patriots” exercising rights;

  • Ignore that Congress still certified the election despite the chaos;

  • Brush aside that officers were assaulted, democracy was threatened;

  • Claim it’s “just media hype” when the record is clear.

If you’re doing that — you’re part of the problem.
Facts don’t care about your side. Reality doesn’t care about your slogans.

Storming

WASHINGTON, DC – JANUARY 6: Trump supporters clash with police and security forces as people try to storm the US Capitol on January 6, 2021 in Washington, DC. – Demonstrators breeched security and entered the Capitol as Congress debated the 2020 presidential election Electoral Vote Certification. (photo by Brent Stirton/Getty Images)

Are you willing to recognize:
That attacking the Capitol over an election you lost is not civic virtue.
That spreading lies and waiting for someone else to fix things doesn’t make you brave — it makes you passive.
That democracy doesn’t survive when we shrug and say “they’ll handle it.”

Stand up. Speak out. Don’t wait for someone else.
If you believe in freedom, do something real — not just post slogans.

Because the people who broke through those doors weren’t defending democracy.
They were attacking a cornerstone of it.

And if you think shouting “patriot” makes it okay — you’re missing the point entirely.

Trump’s Claim on Financing the Border Wall, Mexico Will PAY For It – MAGA quiz

Trump’s Claim on Financing the Border WallDuring his 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly promised to build a “big, beautiful wall” along the U.S.-Mexico border and insisted that Mexico would pay for it entirely. This became one of his signature pledges, often phrased as: “I will build a great wall — and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me — and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall.”

He made this claim over 200 times in speeches, interviews, and on social media between 2015 and 2018, emphasizing it as a direct financial obligation from Mexico.

Trump MAGA Quiz – How much has Mexico paid so far the walls construction? 

Remember Trump Promised MEXICO would pay for the wall

Answer: Not a single dime

 And you fell for it again, Just How Stupid Are You?

Total Spending on the U.S.-Mexico Border Wall as of October 2025As of October 23, 2025, approximately $21.5 billion has been spent on border wall construction and related infrastructure since President Trump’s first term began in 2017. This figure encompasses all federal expenditures on new barriers, replacements, and supporting systems (e.g., roads, lighting, cameras) under Trump’s initiatives. It includes the roughly $15 billion disbursed during his first administration (2017–2021) for about 450 miles of new or replaced barriers, plus an additional $6.5 billion spent in 2025 under his second term. These costs are funded entirely by U.S. taxpayers through congressional appropriations, military fund diversions, and emergency declarations—no contributions from Mexico.Breakdown of Spending

Period
Amount Spent
Key Details
Miles Constructed/Replaced
2017–2021 (First Trump Term)
$15 billion
Primarily from DHS, DoD, and Treasury; included $2.9 billion in contract overruns and supplements. Costs averaged $20–$30 million per mile due to design complexity (e.g., 30-foot steel bollards).
~450 miles (mostly replacements of prior fencing)
2021–2024 (Biden Administration)
~$0.5 billion (est.)
Minimal new construction; ~$0.4 billion for 20 miles of barriers in 2023 amid migrant surges. No major expansions.
~20 miles
2025 (Second Trump Term, Jan–Oct)
$6.5 billion
$4.5 billion in contracts awarded in October for 230 miles of “Smart Wall” (steel barriers with tech integration); plus ~$2 billion from earlier 2025 appropriations for initial projects (e.g., $70 million for 7 miles in Texas). Part of the $46.5 billion “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” passed in July.
~100 miles (ongoing; includes 36 miles in AZ/NM)

Key Context and Estimates

  • Total Miles: About 700 miles of barriers now exist (up from 654 miles pre-2017), covering ~30% of the 1,954-mile border. The full Trump vision (1,422 miles) is projected to cost $60–$70 billion overall.

  • Cost Drivers: Expenses have ballooned due to land acquisition (e.g., private Texas properties), environmental waivers, and tech add-ons. Pre-Trump fencing (2007–2015) cost $2.4 billion for 653 miles—far cheaper per mile.

  • Recent Developments: In September 2025, Congress approved $46.5 billion for hundreds more miles, but only ~$6.5 billion has been obligated/spent by October. Trump declared a national emergency in January 2025 to accelerate via DoD funds.

  • Critiques: Fact-checkers note overruns (e.g., $2.9 billion in changes) and inefficacy (e.g., $5 ladders bypass sections costing $27 million/mile). Environmental groups highlight ecosystem damage despite billions spent.

This tally excludes state-level efforts (e.g., Texas’s ~$3.4 billion for non-federal barriers) and focuses on federal wall projects tied to Trump’s pledges.

The Biggest Crowd’s Ever, No Empty Seats.

We have all seen them, watched Trump with that huge crowd behind him, You know he’s jazzed, he’s doing the YMCA dance and declaring his rally’s are the greatest ever, sold out, no empty seats. Like a Tom Jones concert from the 70’s he declares the women in front are tossing their underwear and room keys, he’s on a roll. You have to believe him, you just have to. After all, he wants to be your next president, he wouldn’t lie to you, would he?

Rally01

I would talk nonsense with friends and a few are big red hat MAGA, and boy they bought every line, they still believe it. Because the evidence is Fake News.

Rally05

Rally02

Rally03

Rally04

So if you believed him, it begs the question, Just How Stupid Are You?

BUT, we do have to admit that he finally did get the Greatest, Biggest turnout in American History.

The Trump Donation Loop: How Taxpayer Money Could Indirectly Fund a White House Ballroom

The Trump Donation Loop: How Taxpayer Money Could Indirectly Fund a White House Ballroom

Donald Trump has publicly claimed he will seek roughly $230 million from the federal government for past investigations, including the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago and the 2016 campaign inquiry. Simultaneously, he has stated that his planned White House ballroom — sometimes called the “Patriot Ballroom” — will be funded by donations from supporters, not from his personal funds.

At first glance, these statements seem unrelated. But when combined, a potential circular funding scenario emerges that raises serious legal and ethical questions.


Step 1: The Lawsuit

Trump files an administrative claim or lawsuit against the U.S. government, seeking $230 million in damages. He frames this as compensation for alleged government misconduct.

Step 2: The Payout

If the claim succeeds, the government (i.e., taxpayers) would pay Trump. He has suggested that any settlement “would have to go across my desk,” implying he could influence the outcome, though legally the settlement must follow standard Department of Justice procedures.

Step 3: The “Donation”

Trump has stated that he would donate any payout to charity. If the charity in question supports the ballroom project, the government funds could end up financing a building directly associated with Trump’s brand and political legacy, despite his claims of not taking the money personally.

Step 4: Construction of the Ballroom

The ballroom is built, decorated, and named as Trump’s “Patriot Ballroom.” It serves as a personal or political showcase, hosting events that reinforce his image.

Step 5: Public Spin

Trump frames the transaction as purely charitable: “I didn’t take a dime!” However, taxpayers have indirectly funded a project that benefits him personally and politically.


Why This Matters

  • Legal concerns: Using charitable donations to fund projects that directly benefit a private individual can violate nonprofit law (prohibitions against private inurement and self-dealing).

  • Ethical concerns: As president, influencing a government payout that ultimately funds one’s own branded project presents a glaring conflict of interest.

  • Public accountability: Even if Trump technically follows the rules, the appearance of impropriety is extreme, and watchdogs would likely investigate.


Bottom Line

While Trump’s statements may frame the scenario as charitable and selfless, the reality could create a loop in which taxpayer money indirectly finances a personal or political project. It’s a situation that raises questions about governance, ethics, and the limits of presidential power.
