    We knew what he was when he was elected. He’s been a public figure since the 80s, decades of dirtbag, he’s always been vile. There’s no one who represents the USA “executive class” better than Trump.

    He was the man America celebrated for over 40 years, with best-selling ghostwritten books, talk show circuit, front page news, cover of GQ and Playboy, prime-time WWF wrestling star, blockbuster film cameo, popular major network show, and so on.

    He is America’s Monster ™, all of our worst traits combined into one abomination. The perfect President for a long-corrupt and decaying empire.

      America never celebrated him. He was only ever a punchline, always.

      The only people actually in awe of him were likely the human garbage that lives on Staten Island - because as has always been said, “donald trump is a stupid/poor person’s idea of a rich/smart person” Including the majority of his life lived in rotting, moldy fake boardrooms where he serially bankrupted terrible businesses while committing crimes and taking money from the mafia/russia.

      He is the personification of every narcissist’s most evil, broken outbursts.

        And I have zero doubt he paid or influenced his way into media references. It hurt me hard when in an episode of Quantum Leap, where Sam is literally putting his own life on the line to put right what once went wrong and he inadvertently “encourages” the kid who would become pedo-king fascist

      It just proves to me how incredibly powerful propaganda is. I used to think the internet was a wonderful thing, meant to bring people together. Now i just see it as cesspit, taken over by advertisers and propagandists. Something to be avoid and steer children and the elderly away from.

      A ridiculous number of them voted for him 3 bloody times.

      Unforgivable.

      It will take generations of good behaviour before the rest of the world will want to truat the Americans again.

        The Arch will feature aerial forces, the ballroom will have ground forces, and the new Amphibious Amphitheatre will house the marine forces.

        Clearly these projects are a matter of national security. /s

    Just a trump. Apparently shoving every dollar he can grift into his fat gob isn‘t enough, he has to destroy everyone else‘s accomplisments or monuments so he doesn‘t have to be reminded he is a failure and a POS. He has to grift monuments for himself instead of people making them for him in appreciation.

        Let’s cut the BS. People like you no doubt would have simply found some other way to attack her…

        She spent lose because of Israel. She lost because of people like you

        Trump had already done so many disgusting things already at that point that were well beyond israel

          So she had to support genocide because otherwise people like me would have found some other way to attack her? Do you have any basis for that assertion? Again, you don’t know how I voted.

          I only posted because your post shows you think thousands of dead children is trivial compared to Trump putting his name on a monument.

          And what are you claiming that Trump done at that point that was beyond that Israel?

            1. January 6th for starters
            2. He was convicted of tax fraud before the election
            3. He was determined by courts to be a rapist (E Jean carroll) before the election.
            4. He had MANY other rape allegations against him
            5. He claimed foreigners were “eating dogs and cats” (which was clearly BS)

            I’d argue that a guy who was determined to be a rapist by courts, convicted of tax fraud, suspected of being a pedophile, attempted to overthrow the government is worse. It doesn’t even matter where you stand on the israel issue. This guy preys on women. Kamala was wrong for supporting israel imho, but, the two aren’t even remotely in the same ballpark. Trump is pure evil and has always been

            If he qualified for the military, he’d be the first to commit war crimes (which he’s now doing), and attacking civilians (which he did do)

              You didn’t answer my first point at all.

              And your list still pales in comparison to what Israel had already done by that point.

              Of course Trump is far worse, I’ve never said otherwise. At least you agree that Kamala was wrong to supporting Israel, which is very different than your original post.

        If she went hard against Israel, she’d have lost a lot of voters. This was before most people recognized that Israel really went off the deep end. And she would have lost a ton of funding that was needed for advertising to combat all the right wing bs and foreign interference that effectively got the likes of you to vote against her.

          Who said anything about “going hard against Israel”? And it’s not like there’s a report that contradicts your claim, right?

          You have no idea how I voted. Op suggested that people didn’t vote for her for trivial reasons, which trivialises the real documented reason of expressly supporting a genocide.

            We can make an educated guess. Thank goodness for Gazans (and Lebanese) that Harris didn’t become president. That would have been a disaster!

              I guarantee you’re wrong about how I voted. And why are you moving the goal posts? Harris stated clearly that she wouldn’t change anything when dealing with Israel and she wanted to make Israel the most violent army in the world, so it’s very likely that the situation in Gaza and Lebanon would be very similar. It was already a disaster when Biden was president.

                  You’re right about that one phrase, I mixed it up with something else. She did state that she would continue to support arming Israel unconditionally.

                  Everything else I said still stands, and you haven’t addressed any of it.

              Look, I voted for Kamala because lesser evil > greater evil. That being said, she did express support for Israel through maintaining arms sales and military assistance.

              Like, everyone recognizes that Kamala would have been marginally better than Trump. She still would have been a bad president, just not a bad president responsible for fucking the economy. Status quo and all that.

                Yes she did express support for Isreal - but not for Isreal to commit genocide. You might think it was a genocide happening at the time, but most people then saw it as them fighting Hammas without taking enough care about civilians.
                It was after Trump encouraged Netanyahu to wipe out all Palestinians, that things got significantly worse. I don’t think Harris would have encouraged genocide. I think she would have even pushed back somewhat against human right violations eventually.

                  She would have pushed back when it was politically convenient, if it became politically convenient.

                  I worked for the DoJ under her. The corruption was there before her and got worse under her. She is not the saint you, for some reason, think she is. An important thing to keep in mind is that simply because they’ve been demonized by the right does not somehow make them a good person.

                  Case in point: Gavin Newsom.
