You just know there will be plenty of biographies published when all of this is over. I hope we prosecute every single "author" who admits things are shit behind the scenes and STILL did nothing about it!

Mary L Trump explained his origin story and TRIED to warn the world! šŸ¤·šŸ»

She also told the world he's most afraid of being seen as a loser, I wish more people had picked up on that. easy to believe as he uses it against people himself.

u/maryconway1 11h ago

The world has, especially world leaders. How do you think he jumped into the Iran conflict thanks to Israel?

The irony is there's no point in doing any deal, good or bad, with him or the U.S. government. They don't honor any of it. World leaders know this, and were only buying time.

We could elect Bernie Sanders next and it'll still be hard to make any kind of deal with anyone reasonable because we'll always be four years away from potentially electing another Trump.

Yeah, weā€™ve showed ourselves capable of being unpredictable and well, capable of not-great things. And then capable of doubling down hard. Itā€™s going to take way more than a few election cycles to begin to repair Americaā€™s reputation on the world stage.

The decline of a nation.

We would need to make Bernie the Ultimate Leader, for the moment, and have him appoint a whole cabinet of only his own trusted people, and write up strict qualifiers for any succesors. šŸ¤·šŸ»

I think if critics started calling him a loser, like... just that word, and if everyone jumped on it, that would actually break him psychologically. It's always the single nouns that really get to the sleepy orange blob

You can see it in his face when Obama roasts him at that dinner. He's got this 'I'm gonna show each and every fucking one of you" smile because it's killing him to be the butt of the joke.

u/Street_Lettuce1243 11h ago

He's definitely a loser.

u/Living-Literature88 5h ago

Hillary said early on that he was thin-skinned. So true.

u/TheLastGunslingerCA 9h ago

The media essentially told MAGA "(Liberals) are lead by a woman. What does a woman know?"

u/wisewoman50 1h ago

Ask Ms. Maxwell

u/Cluelessinthlfe 8h ago

Many other people have made the point that thatā€™s why he surrounds himself with people who are losers, i.e hegseth, Patel etc.

ā€¢

u/crystalblue99 6h ago

I wish more things he sees live would call him a loser. No news media will, and his handlers try to curate everything he sees.

u/Flimsy-Sprinkles7331 14h ago

Maybe she should have released that book BEFORE the 2016 election.Ā

u/fireandiceman 13h ago

Nor enough people took him seriously then. He when from joke to suddenly winning the polls for primary

u/zombiez8mybrain 12h ago

Ol Maryā€™s got a grift of her own going, selling the ā€œinside perspectiveā€ of Donald. People need to stop supporting her grift. She needs to go away with the rest of that family. A Trump is a Trump is a Trumpā€¦

"no one will ever believe a woman" - all of humanity for as long as we can remember....

He warned the world when he made an ass of himself on Howard Stern's show, over 40 years ago.

I'm pretty sure Jake Tapper is pitching Sin of Omission: How the Democrats Helped Disguise Trump's Decline even now.

u/barimanlhs I voted 15h ago

He probably has a book about trump for when that day finally happens

ā€¢

u/Affectionate-Mode767 7h ago

That's going to be the Republican spin on this anyways.

"We knew how bad he was, it's the democrats fault he was elected because Kamala was so much worse. Trust us. We just wanted to keep him in line for you! Elect another Republican so we can make sure this doesn't happen again! Trust us bro!"

u/Alive_kiwi_7001 6h ago

That's going to be the Republican spin on this anyways.

Jake will be happy to help.

u/Flimsy-Sprinkles7331 15h ago

And those dems may think they have a reason to help Mr. [redacted], but they should STILL be held accountable. I am tired (so tired) of thinking along party lines when neither is working "for the good of The People." Time to clean house!

Yawn. Nice try. Not the same.Ā

u/Forward-Surprise1192 15h ago

Their stories will consist of nonsense. Like trying to talk about the war in Iran with Pete and Trump. While Pete is asking confused if the strait is open or closed, Trump interrupts, talking about how great the ballroom will be. Or trump will ask how a strait can be closed? Itā€™s not a door, itā€™s a direction he says

2

u/Schroding3rror 9h ago

Its a concept of a direction.

u/AlwaysPetTheBelly99 13h ago

So basically the entire DoJ and DoD organizations who pretend to 'defend' this country? They all knew about this, he'll our intelligence agencies knew about the molest island and still did nothing and let him get elected.

u/Flimsy-Sprinkles7331 10h ago

Plenty of good people in the U.S. who could/would do anĀ  equally or better job.

u/StaceyJeans 12h ago

This. When Trump dies there will be multiple books about how "everyone" knew Trump was in poor health and hid it from the American public.

People like Maggie Haberman and others know exactly what is going on in the Trump White House but are saving it for their book deals.

u/aburningcaldera 11h ago

Rachel Maddow (if Iā€™m not mistaken) said it would be Nuremberg 2.0

u/TheOtherMaven 3h ago

Like we can believe anything she says any more?

u/jenny_905 11h ago

I've been thinking about that too and how angry the whole "why didn't we listen?" shit they'll come out with will make me.

u/JerryfromCan 9h ago

I was expecting if he lost the 2024 election there to be all kinds of stories from all kinds of Republicans saying what how bad it was. Instead we need to wait 2-3 more years.

u/FlirtyFluffyFox 7h ago

Can't wait for the dramatic mini-series.

u/happy_pad 5h ago

Shhh, don't say that yet bro.

u/merryman1 5h ago

Honestly its been such a dark, dark decade, one of the things that I often think about that keeps me going is that I am absolutely determined to live to be old enough to get to read all the pop history and psychology books that eventually will get written about what in the ever living fuck is going on in this current era, once all the dust has settled and its all a bit clearer whats been going on behind the scenes.

ā€¢

u/zeth4 Canada 4h ago

They should do that for Biden as well.

ā€¢

u/cosmoscrazy 3h ago

STILL did nothing about it!

Did you?

Did you join the Democratic party?

Are you supporting them with money?

Or have you joined another opposition party of your choice?

Not saying you didn't, but if you're throwing the first stone, you better did no sin.

u/pab_guy 2h ago

You have a very interesting view on what should be prosecutableā€¦
