    Who said I dislike people who make more money than me? Your interpretation is wrong. Just because I don't like redistributing funds from stuff like from healthcare, VA support, flood mitigation and infrastructure project grants to spend hundreds of billions on stuff like military parades, Golden Domes, detention camps, and border walls while raising the National Debt on top of it. I'd rather have my taxes spent in other ways, especially living in a region prone to flooding and tropical storms.

    Billion dollar storms are the new normal. I'd rather save 15 times more money mitigating risks than just handing out aid after the fact over and over and over. It just makes more sense to me. Again, maybe it's my background in the military and air traffic control that gives me the mentality of preparing for the worst, vice mourning the victims later.

    There have been plenty of bribes, collusion, and borderline corruption going on for policies, pardons, and appointments for those millionaire and billionaire donors to Trump over people like you and me. If you think that makes me envy them for their money you are wrong. I just don't trust them with my tax dollars. In fact, there's a line being crossed all around that administration when it comes to conflicting interests.


    Do your own research on Trump family crypto and real estate investments that coincided with policy deals, tariff deals, and such. I'm not going to do it for you. It's easy to follow the money trail and timings.

    No, we aren't.
    Well, that's your belief. I don't like your reasoning though. I don't go on hunches and turn a blind eye to 99% of the scientists that back research with facts, and believe in global warming.

    Yeah, sure there were people who got it wrong, or were like chicken little and cried the end of days are coming. I can understand your skepticism because of that. But, you might see things differently by reading the latest studies, analyzing the research, comparing the changes from the past decade, previous decade, etc.., I like to keep up with weather related events around the world. It's an eye opener. I don't base my opinion on some 1% of scientists or a bunch of non-scientists who disagree, and call it all a hoax. I do my own research.

    I read a lot of scientific based articles, from a broad spectrum of sources, not biased or political. Granted, some are becoming political now as a lot of pertinent new info is being removed from NOAA and government websites. I don't like being kept in the dark though, so I find articles from last year by NOAA, NASA, National Geographic, science journals, and other interesting climate studies and such from meteorologists, oceanographers, and scientists. Weather has always been something I loved learning about as an air traffic controller.

    Last, but not least, if you don't like being lied to I hate to break it to you but Trump is a pathological liar. Sure, he says a lot of truthful things, but he also spews at least one flat out lie every time he opens his mouth for more than 5 minutes. :p

    Qatar gave a plane to the US Air Force, not Trump.

    What a bunch of BULLSHIT - it goes to Trump after he leaves the Presidency, let's not get lost in BS nuance, to try to skirt the law, he is the ONLY President to consistently break the emoluments clause.

    And you are ok with that, which is why the law doesn't matter anymore if the President doesn't follow the law, why should anyone else?
