Newest additions appear to be part of the administration’s ongoing ‘troll’ campaign against former presidents and Trump’s opponents

White House staff updated the so-called “Presidential Walk of Fame” Wednesday by adding lengthy descriptions of each former president, in rhetoric that aligns with Donald Trump’s – such as calling former President Joe Biden “the worst President in American History.”

As part of the president’s ongoing effort to customize the White House to his liking, Trump set his well-known opinions of each former president in stone by adding plaques underneath the portraits that now hang along the colonnade.

But rather than neutrally describing each president, Trump chose to invoke more color – claiming former President Barack Obama is “one of the most divisive political figures” and asserting former President Ronald Reagan “was a fan.”

    Trump is such an insecure prick. And he knows it. Get lost, loser. Nobody likes you.

    It’s so childishly political at every point. How can anyone see this kind of thing, all the time, and not see it for the propaganda effort it is?

    calling former President Joe Biden “the worst President in American History.”

    The only argument for that being that he didn’t take the necessary steps to ensure Trump would never be president again. What those steps are is left up to the reader.

    This is ordered by the man who was proud to be thin-skinned and spent their whole lives trying to be in the spotlight more than anyone else. He doesn’t care why, he just wants to be the most famous of anyone.

    Literally screams childhood abandonment syndrome. It’d almost be sad if he wasn’t such a terrible person who spent their whole life destroying everyone’s lives.

      I often remind people that what we refer to as “personality disorders” don’t appear out of nowhere. The most narcissistic person you know is paralyzed with fear that they’re unlovable. When they speak highly of themselves, they’re desperate for you to tell them they’re good and special, because they can’t find that goodness in themselves. Unfortunately when their efforts repel everyone around them, they end up confirming what they fear the most.

      For all the darkness and evil Trump has brought to this world, remember that he’s never really felt loved a day in his life.

      We don’t have news channels in the U.S. We have entertainment channels.

      Felon rapist man-children who are non-stop daily drama are good for entertainment channels.

        Our news literally moved online to blogs and YouTube like 6 or more years ago. You want in depth well researched journalism? You have outfits like Unicorn Riot, War on the Rocks, and Propublica or you have a YouTuber who has a special interest for a particular subject.

        If you want to know what is happening right now it’s social media.

        If you want to feel emotions while trying to forget about your ever growing medical bills and just want a victim to blame, you go to cable entertainment news networks like The First (which, as a tangent, was last week, promoting the idea that Somalians were genetically incapable of living in a democracy), Newsmax, Fox, CNN or some other ragebait.

        It’s fucked up. I don’t know how to save us. So many people live with blinders on because, “Well, it doesn’t affect me!” I’m just here having panic attacks watching them come for other minorities, waiting for them to come for me. I’ll fight harder once my family obligations are over but right now it’s just a giant shit burger.

      Personally, I don’t see it happening.

      Orange traitor can die. Still leaves an alarming percentage of absolutely braindead fascists in our nation. That can’t really end any other way than catastrophically. Couple that with the extremely wealthy hording more and more of our wealth and I’d say we’re pretty much cooked as a nation.

      That’s optimistic. In terms of physical changes, it will take a couple years; in terms of law and policy changes, it will take decades if it can ever be undone.

      But in terms of global standing, reputation, trust, credit, etc? That shit is never coming back. Only a fucking moron would agree to any strong partnership with the US knowing that every 4 years there’s a significant chance that their leader could be a demented, spoiled brat who will tear everything apart and nobody will stop him from doing the most batshit insane cruelties imaginable. Once is a fluke; we elected this dumbass traitor twice, and we did nothing about his atrocities after the first go.

      This stupid asshole wrecked everything, and we still haven’t truly felt even a small fraction of the damage yet.

      He’s far from done, it’s not even been a yearm USA is pretty much done at this point, I doubt their will be anything close to a reel election before decades, if it ever happen again. The real question is much of the rest of the world pedonald will take down with him.
