He peddles everything from hats (made in China), to crypto-coins, to Trump Bibles (also made in China), and so much more. A good deal of his profiteering is managed by the company he set up to serve as his propaganda platform.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66938\" target=\"_blank\">The Trump Media and Technology Group (Truth Social) Scam Reflects His Fondness for Fraud<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday Trump disclosed that he would be making a special announcement from the White House. It was so important that he arrived nearly an hour late. When he finally showed up he revealed that he had made the decision to move the Space Force headquarters from Colorado to Alabama, Which is a ridiculous idea. It will cost hundreds of millions of dollars for no discernible gain. NORAD is already based in Colorado. While Alabama is in the middle of the nation&#8217;s hurricane zone. However, Trump did eventually get around to offering his reason for the move saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The problem I have with Colorado &#8211; they do mail-in voting. They went to all mail-in voting. So they have automatically crooked elections. And we can&#8217;t have that. When the state is for mail-in voting that means they want dishonest elections, because that&#8217;s what that means. So that played a big factor also.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3lxus3daceu22\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreiax7uqcmjghuyccncossouk7xv5marqfsaiyegc7sbfdywcoaslyq\">\n<p lang=\"en\">Trump on moving Space Force base from Colorado: &#34;The problem I have with Colorado &#8212; they do mail in voting.

Mainly because any procedure that makes it easier for people to participate in democracy is anathema to him and the Republican Party. He recently decreed via a preposterous and unlawful executive order that he is abolishing mail-in voting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE HERE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=67109\" target=\"_blank\">Herr Trump Decrees that He Will Abolish Mail-In Voting and that States Must Obey His MAGA-STY<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the record, eight states and Washington, D.C., <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsl.org\/elections-and-campaigns\/table-18-states-with-all-mail-elections\" target=\"_blank\">allow all elections to be conducted entirely by mail<\/a><\/strong>: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Washington state. Twenty-eight states offer <em>&#8220;no-excuse&#8221;<\/em> absentee voting, which means that any voter can request and cast an absentee\/mail ballot for any reason.<\/p>\n<p>So are we to assume that Trump will now discriminate against all of those states when it comes to any benefits that the federal government can dispense? That would be consistent with how Trump always seeks to punish or get revenge against anyone that he perceives as insufficiently worshipful. It is consistent with totalitarian dictatorships. But it is wholly inappropriate for a democratic leader.<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks Trump also referred to several major American cities as <em>&#8220;hellholes,&#8221;<\/em> lied about tariff revenues, smeared some his political foes, exalted himself, and regurgitated several of his favorite scripted fallacies. But his admission to why he is moving the Space Force command is a particularly brazen and despicable example of his narcissistic corruption. And unless Democrats muster the courage to defy him, it won&#8217;t be the last.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66973\" target=\"_blank\">Wannabe Dictator Trump Orders a New Census to Rig Upcoming Elections, Violating the Constitution<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=67184\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Threatens to Send His StormTrumpers to N.Y., L.A., and Chicago, Where Crime is Declining<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=67230\" target=\"_blank\">Crybaby Trump Whines About Getting Bad Press and Demands that the Offending Media Be Terminated<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there is one thing that we&#8217;ve learned over the past few years, it&#8217;s that everything that Donald Trump does is driven by what he determines is best for him.
