We do not know the fine print in this corrupt offering as to what protections it<\/p>\n<p>provides regarding not allowing deviants and criminals an easy flight path to then wander the streets of Disneyland or to take in the sights of New Orleans.<\/p>\n<p>And, only recently we are now learning that Eric Trump Jr., (a chip off the old block) is contemplating funding AI enterprises that may already be in a position to land Pentagon<\/p>\n<p>contracts; and also engage in predictive gambling undertakings.<\/p>\n<p>If there is a loose buck to be made and the Trump family is in smelling distance of that<\/p>\n<p>green paper, rest assured that it is being considered as potential presidential plunder.<\/p>\n<p>If Trump is not shamelessly hawking Bibles (with his own inside inscription) or selling MAGA<\/p>\n<p>fashion ware, guitars,\u00a0 crypto coins, he is bloviating over his demand that an arch of triumph<\/p>\n<p>be established in the D.C. \u00a0metro area to honor him as the greatest president ever!<\/p>\n<p>With a boundless and perverted ego of himself and his I.Q., Trump never ceases\u00a0 to gaslight us with his tales of his greatness, how many wars he stopped and why he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Never mind that he started a war with Iran\u2026so much for peace.<\/p>\n<p>To bait how Trump would respond to ideas of other money making hustles, I took it<\/p>\n<p>upon myself to propose the following enterprises for Trump\u2019s money madness to act upon:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(1)\u00a0 Create a cruise line called Trump Cruises and sail to only the Nordic countries; to save<\/p>\n<p>labor costs, staff it with undocumented immigrants, who will work for free for five years and then be given the right to become U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n<p>(2)\u00a0 Set up penal colonies for undocumented immigrants across the country and have the DHS pay Trump a per diem rate of $175.00 per person to use those facilities.<\/p>\n<p>(3)\u00a0 Create a national Trump Lotto with weekly drawings of five million dollars, tax free monies.<\/p>\n<p>Each weekly drawing would have Trump read out the winning numbers from the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<p>(4)\u00a0 Sell gold overleaf caskets via Amazon for a flat price of $499.99 (free shipping and handling).<\/p>\n<p>(5) \u00a0Sell hemp based CBD gummies in a variety of flavors via his X platform for $39.99 per bottle of sixty gummies. Money back guarantee!<\/p>\n<p>(6) \u00a0Auction\u00a0 his used McDonald\u2019s wrappers with starting bids at $200.00 each.<\/p>\n<p>These super duper ideas would generate untold millions for Trump and family and would place him in the lexicon of super marketers who truly know the drawing power of a well crafted grift.<\/p>\n<p>On another newsworthy note, Elon Musk, the aggrieved South African billionaire, is now blubbering to anyone who will listen to him that \u201cWhites\u201d are an endangered minority who face tremendous discrimination due to their ethnic origins.<\/p>\n<p>Now, ain\u2019t that rich! Here is a person from South Africa whose policy of apartheid he lived under and endorsed by his silence, is now croaking that he believes \u201cWhites\u201d (other than millionaires and billionaires of course), are facing discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>Of course this racial charlatan does not give details or stats to prove his idiocy nor does he<\/p>\n<p>delineate what countries are engaged in this outrageous \u201creverse\u201d of D.E.I. He simply mourns that if \u201cWhites\u201d do not wake up, they will be a permanent minority.<\/p>\n<p>As you know, White folks do not like being a minority to anything or anyone because in their<\/p>\n<p>DNA, they resolutely believe in the inherent goodness, richness, kindness and superiority of one having white skin over those, \u201cOthers\u201d. (Note: LaKeishanna and De\u2019Marrcus, listen up!)<\/p>\n<p>So, with Musk having a solipsistic temper tantrum that pits him against people of color around the world, you can now better gauge his personhood as one which is outdated, racially biased and thus bears watching.<\/p>\n<p>Musk would be the persona type who would support people like George Wallace, Lester Maddox, Bull Connor, Woodrow Wilson, the Night Riders, The Confederacy, Jim Crow and a host of other personalities or programs or laws that would keep Black people in their place.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, he was, at one time, the darling of Donald Trump until they had their falling out.<\/p>\n<p>In closing, the watchword for being \u201chip\u201d to these fraudsters? Keep both eyes open and do not fall for the slick OKey-Doke from anyone when they want to define who you are.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Contact Lafe Tolliver at \u00a0Lafe5x@gmail.com<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Lafe Tolliver, Esq Guest Column If you were ever concerned about the limits of capitalism and the rotting effect it can have on human nature that chooses to be besotted with the sin of greed, look no further.
