OldSchoolBubbaApr 1, 2026

What is the first rule of being a successful criminal?
Don't get caught. The objective is to remain hidden.
The New York Mob didn't respect him because "he was crying all the time" like he still does playing the victim. That's why they never "made" him.
Trump is merely cosplaying a mob boss like his reality TV show. The people around him keep him proped up because he always fails at everything on his own. They're caught too so they're all going.to prison.

It will be the only Presidential Library to hold every Penthouse magazine.

Presidential libraries are kind of suspect to begin with. They’re privately funded by presidents who campaign for private donations while they’re in office. They’re primarily used for controlling the narrative around a President’s legacy. They are not required or setup in our laws. They are simply vanity projects that have only really been done for the last 80 years or so. Trump can do whatever the f*** he wants with his own library. No one will ever take it seriously, especially if he ends ip being the one to completely tesr down the country as it seems hes doing.
