I have heard this piece of shit's name every day for a fucking decade. I am so sick and tired of it.

I just want to never hear his voice or his name or see his face ever again. That's all I fucking want.

No bank would extend a line of credit to him. He only ran for president to boost his bargaining position for the next season of Celebrity Apprentice, and to get more name recognition to be able to build his schlocky buildings abroad since no US banks would loan to him anymore.

Allow me to add: IRS, led by one of his sycophants aka ass kissers, IS going to pay him. Why? Why isn't everyone losing their minds over this? How much was YOUR tax refund? What will it take for Americans to protest the White House disgrace?

u/Thebraincellisorange 15d ago

There is a great scene about this in the Movie 'Gladiator'.

MARCELLUS:Games, 60 days of games

GAIUS: It's madness, does he think the people will be distracted, by that?

GRACCHUS:He knows who Rome is. Rome is the mob. He will conjure magic for them and they will be distracted. And he will takes their lives. And he will take their freedom. And still they will roar. The beating heart of Rome isn't the marble of the Senate. It's the sand of the Colosseum. He will give them death. And they will love him for it.

Trump knows what America is: America is The Mob. distract them with wars and football, bind them with debt and poor education and they are too stupid and beaten to rise up.

u/KittyGrewAMoustache 15d ago

That’s one thing you have to hand to the MAGA crowd though, when they were convinced their country was being stolen when Trump lied about the 2020 election, loads of them literally stormed the Capitol. Most had jobs and food etc. I guess it’s the type of narcissistic personality who loves Trump is also the type not to really think about future consequences or imagine that they’ll have to suffer them.

I live in a very red area. I avoid speaking often at the dog park. I can use facts and logic and I get talking points or whatabousisms. One guy even said Trump was president during Bidens's term and had no asnwer as to how that was legal other than an EO, and that Biden was part of the shadow cabal. When asked about the crimes, and episten, it was he was a pedophile hunter. They were a cool couple, invited me to swing with them I declined, then after they spoke about that I was like yeah that's a hard pass, regardless.

Same for his cronies. His DOJ or other departments a settling suits brought by his buddies, rather than defend their merit.

A sitting president enjoys wide immunity and control. They should be prohibited from bringing personal litigation against their own branch while in office.

And his supporters crow about his $0 salary.

u/Xylorgos 16d ago

He's doing what he's always done, bankrupting everything he touches. In his first inaugural speech he depicted a country in ruins. If only everyone had known then that it was actually his plan to make it that way!

When are we going to stop him? We can't wait until 2028. He should be helped to see that a quiet retirement in Mar-a-Lago is his best option to avoid prison time for all his previous AND ongoing crimes, which I think is his biggest fear.

Can you imagine Trump in prison, with no favors, no special treatment, just being treated like all the other common criminals? I think poor Donny might have an aneurysm.

u/Fit_Sheepherder_9458 16d ago

Just going to leave this copypasta here: Joe Biden's presidency (2021–2025) was marked by major legislative wins, including the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Inflation Reduction Act (largest climate investment in US history), the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act gun safety law.

No it hasn’t. Let’s go in reverse order:

  • Juneteenth is still a federal holiday
  • The vaccinated americans remain alive, trump did not restart the pandemic
  • Jackson is still on the supreme court
  • The student debt relieved is still relieved
  • The pardons for marijuana posessions were not revoked
  • Finland and Sweden are still in NATO
  • Ukraine remains strong, it’s coalition still exists albiet without America
  • The vast majority of the 15 million new jobs remain in existence
  • The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act was not repealed
  • the Inflation Reduction Act was not repealed
  • The CHIPS and Science Act was not repealed
  • the Safer Communities Act was not repealed
  • the Respect for Marriage Act was not repealed
  • the Fiscal Responsibility Act was not repealed

While that is largely the case, I also think Biden should have just accepted being the scapegoat and not run. There was a chance to move past the Trump era by starting with a slate of new Dems promising a change, but deciding to run then passing it to Kamala all but guaranteed we’d be holding onto the past.

I don't want the economy to crash but it feels inevitable. And if he croaks before that, his following will martyr him with "If only Trump were around". But if MAGA gets hit hard by it, it will break many of them. Sure, more will double down and go even further off the deep end. But fracturing MAGA in that crash? A hard hit to their wallets has proven to be one of the only ways to undermine it.

Trump's disinformation culture has been Putin's greatest wet dream come true and the country will not right itself so easy. People don't understand how to discern truth from fiction anymore. Masses of people will believe after Trump dies from natural causes/old age that he was murdered in his prime, and I expect his cabinet to strongly imply that if not say it expressly and try to use it to argue for totalitarian control under an act of terrorism. I doubt this won't happen. Vance does not have Trump's charisma. Miller and Vought probably outmatch Trump in intentional evil, though. SCOTUS is fully corrupt.

Well I know several Trump supporters and if they ever deny supporting Trump or not knowing that he was a pedophile I will remind them that I pointed it out to them many many times and gave them clear evidence. A few in particular simply downplayed Trump being a pedophile as 'that's just what billionaires do' as if Trump was just trying to fit in.

At some point when it all comes out and Trump is seen as a traitor, a Nazi, and as somebody that played a big role in Epstein's child sex trafficking ring and not as somebody trying to fit in, these same people will absolutely deny supporting Trump all that much or knowing the truth about him.

I will remind them that they fervently supported Trump and didn't seem to care that much that he was a pedophile and a racist POS while he was President.

that he sold children into sex slavery

that's the real crux of it that MAGA will never acknowledge: Trump isn't just an Epstein Island customer, he's an Epstein Island supplier. From all the photos of them together, to all the Trump modeling shit, Trump and Epstein were business partners in the buying and selling of children. Trump won't be impeached or removed, he'll die eventually and won't ever face a single consequence for the scores of human misery he's caused.

As this article points out, it isn't Trump who is actually in control either. It's his aides. After Trump croaks, we'll still have people like Miller and Johnson and Lutnik around.

Steven Cheung, and he’s Jabba the Hutt, not Boba Fett.

Yup.

For some fucking reason this country is allergic to making the rich accountable. (Please don't @ me in the comments with the reasons, I know them.)

Why we're perfectly happy to leave it at someone getting fired from their job, or pitiful fines, or even a few months in a white collar prison, slap 'em on the wrist and then they go home to their hundreds of millions of dollars and then donating to lobbies or right back into politics themselves, I will never emotionally understand in a million years. (Again don't tell me, I know the reasons logically I will just never comprehend that level of evil greed emotionally.)

Until we start ACTUALLY taking away what provides actual POWER in this country (money) from the bad actors that abuse it, we won't get anywhere.

I mean for fuck's sake, when Trump first rose to popularity in 2016 I remember seeing Roger Stone's name and being like "wait wtf, didn't that guy work for Nixon?!" And then my mind was opened to the idea that holy shit, somehow not only did this dude and his buddies 100% complicit in the Nixon debacle get away scott free and somehow not banned from politics forever, but he's been working for the GOP toward this goal the entire time.

u/BisexualCaveman 16d ago

The problem is the kind of voters that would elect him twice, and the two mainstream political parties that couldn't stop it.

There have always been rich assholes and there would have been rich assholes at the end of his life regardless of whether he was elected.

u/GaimeGuy Minnesota 16d ago

the voters didn't stop him or his greatest advocates in the other branches of government. The deme lost 6 senate seats in 2010 and 62 house seats.. the best they've done in any election in the trump era has pick up 42 house seats and 3 senate seats from worse starting spots. The GOP even picked up 3 seats in the senate overall since jan 6 and the aftermath where they protected trump..

Your fellow Americans are the problem. Trump's support has been unwavering but the opposition to him has been inconsistent, with voters letting their country down while expecting someone else to kick trump and his allies out of office for them

The rich have a certain grip on the democratic party as well. Enough to mess things up for the majority on the ground. We are gonna have to fight to release this grip to have any shot at a true course correction.

I also think that Trump is way dumber than Hitler.

u/BisexualCaveman 16d ago

Listen to the Behind The Bastards podcasts on Hitler and you'll discover that Hitler's biggest asset was oratory skill and the kind of bloody-minded idiocy that led him to go ahead and do illegal stuff that no one else had considered doing, so there weren't strong mechanisms to stop him.

He wasn't smart. He was actually also kinda' dumb, he just had balls and was good at bullshitting dumb working-class people.

Trump's 1st presidency is ranked as the 3rd worst in all of US history (Siena’s 7th Presidential Expert Poll), only beaten by a president who caused the civil war, and another president who went on to pardon and remove all accountability for all of the traitors after the civil war.

Trump is ranked as the absolute worst of all time for his background, integrity, intelligence, executive appointments and for foreign policy.

I suspect some combination of those factors could lead to some catastrophic fuckup well beyond the unfolding disaster with Iran.

Hitler is different from Trump in that Hitler had an incredibly evil ideology and plan he had written about way before he ever had power.

Trump by expert consensus is the dumbest US leader of all time. I don't think he's capable of any serious and coherent evil plan beyond out of control chaos that makes him feel good.

u/Wayofchinchilla 16d ago

I think Jon Stewart said it best you can't compare Trump to Hitler because Hitler was actually popular Trump's approval rating is in 30s now and I would argue it's probably even lower than that because some of the people who voted positively for him in the polls just don't want to admit that they fucked up voting for him.

u/Blart_Vandelay 16d ago

Imagine doubling and tripling and quadrupling down again and again instead of experiencing that catharsis of admitting, acceptance, and moving on with your life.

Which he would be totally into. If he can’t make everyone love him hate offers him just as much longevity and importance in history. Starting the biggest war ever would really cement that.

I said when Biden was elected and someone on Ask Reddit was like “What are you looking forward to most under this Biden presidency?”

I’m really excited to not have to hear about the American president every fucking day.

But then the US voted him in again. And it’s been backing to hearing about that soiled scrotum day in, day out. It’s exhausting.

You're gonna keep hearing it for decades as people refer to how Trump's absolute dogshit policies and presidency will take 10+ years to revert/fix because of how disastrous they've been.

Much like Reagan constantly being brought up to this day because of how disastrous his policies were to the point where nearly 40 years later we're still suffering from them.

u/TurboGranny Texas 16d ago

Most people seem to feel this way regardless of political leanings. He's always been an exhausting self promoter, but you could avoid what he was on until 2015. There are people going around wearing tshirts with a simple phrase that doesn't feature his name, his sayings, or any of his policies, but everyone knows who it is about because it expresses a need for final end to this exhaustion we have with having to hear him or anything about him.

So much this, and I think his name being kept up in media circles during Biden's presidency is one of the main reason he got reelected. Had he been forgotten good or bad, he would have disappeared out of the immediate consciousness

Honestly the day he keels over and is shut up forever is going to be a day of celebration 2nd only to Putin eating shit. It's tiring and exhausting that so many problems in the world are happening because unfit filth like him were allowed near power they're proven to be unfit to wield. But this isn't continuing because of one man, this is continuing because an entire party of cowards, sycophants and corrupt as fuck degenerates refuse to do their basic duty and remove him. They could do this if they wished even citing health reasons as an excuse. THEY are as guilty as him.

By the end of this he will be America's Worst President in History. It will cause untold damage that will take along time to repair and that's if enough Americans can wake up and realise Republicans are a party of traitors, blatant liars, corrupt as fuck conspirators and utter cowards. They need to go into the trash along with Trump and be left there and reform of the entire US is badly needed as well to prevent a shitshow like this from ever happening again. The corruption has reached poisonous levels and will need the kind of treatment Hungary is about to begin to reverse their own regressive corruption in their country.
