    To hide his health issues.

    Now who else hid their health issues? Hitler, Stalin, Ataturk, Péron, basically lots of dictators.

    Trump can have his ballroom as soon as we repeal the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929, and expand the Capitol building to accommodate the 1500 representatives we should have using the average district size from the time.

        Quite the opposite actually. Gerrymandering is only as effective as it is because of the limited seats. This allows maps to be drawn with wildly arbitrary lines to split districts to achieve razor thin margins. A byproduct of gerrymandering is that the districts it creates have very weak control.

        Further, the larger number of districts allows for more potential candidate options. By splitting up everything even more, smaller candidates, and alternative parties have a greater chance. Political spending being forced to be split cross 3x the candidates can only be a net positive for us at this point as we try to fix this shit.

    As a taxpayer, I’ll agree to a new hospital for him if he resigns and pleads guilty to the criminal cases against him and accepts all maximum sentences and it’s a prison hospital.

    If he doesn’t like my terms, then he can simply use a portion of all of the wealth he’s grifted in the last year and build his own fucking hospital on the grounds of Mar-a-Lago.

      I’ll agree he can go down a spider hole with a diet Coke and a cyanide capsule. As a long as nobody lets him out alive.

    It’s all about that new ballroom. Construction has halted due to a lawsuit from the National Trust and Republicans now argue it’s vital for both the Don’s health and safety. You can’t make this shit up.

      you ain’t gonna convince any of the majority of people who don’t want the ballroom in the first place, to approve of a different use of the same fucking space as a facility to keep an ailing moron-in-chief alive.

        Yes but now they spin the narrative that some people are actively hurting potus and endangering MAGA. Blocking the ballroom is domestic terrorism!!!

          Trolling on a national and international level is their version of governing. Meanwhile the Rapepublibcans in Congress and SCOTUS soil the nation for generations to come

    So the secret is the BS the administration made up after they were told that they’d need congressional approval if it really was just a ballroom
