Hey, uh, what the fuck? Why the fuck are companies giving the President of the United States Golden statues like he’s some sort of Middle Eastern Dictator?

Because he might not be “Middle Eastern” or “Dictator” but he behaves exactly like “some sort of Middle Eastern Dictator”.

To ask for “favors” later. Clearly money sways him, he’s imposing tariffs on Brazil because “they’ve never been good to us”, meaning “they don’t give USA enough money”. It’s all aboutoney and how he can get it into him and his pedo friends pockets.

Because he’s pretty much that. Idk about the middle eastern part (why did you even include that phrase, are you racist?), but he’s definitely a dictator.

Because he’s some sort of middle eastern dictator. Figurehead of a religion of intolerance and hatred, concerned almost entirely with wealth derived from fossil fuels, utterly irredeemable personality.
