If I did a single thing this douchebag has done, I’d be in jail. Yet he’s the front runner for president for a political party. Blows my mind.

I cannot wait to not hear his name or voice again.

Almost like we live in a world with two very distinct classes of citizen, based entirely on money.

I feel it is necessary to point out that if Obama had done a small fraction of what Trump is accused of, he would have been executed.

Twice for good measure

I'd take Obama any day over the alternative, but the fact that he's heralded as one of the greatest after authorizing the murder of an American citizen without due process is pretty remarkable. His presidency was marked with failure, but he's a charismatic media darling, and the liberals eat it up just like the right.

I think it's impossible to be the president of a world power without compromising at least some of your morality.

Whoa, whoa, whoa there. That is a conversation for c/TheDocksLaterTonight keep it low profile. (⁠●⁠_⁠_⁠●⁠)

I suspect his obituary will only be the start of a decades long industry of books, articles and documentaries about him.

Unfortunately, he's a stain on this planet that won't go away for a very long time, even after he has a hamberder induced coronary.

The documentaries are already starting! Fox News has a show called Who is Donald J. Trump.

Man, totally with you. My fear is it'll be the opposite. Either;

"MSNBC'S TOP 10 LESSONS WERE STILL LEARNING TODAY ABOUT THE MAGA MOVEMENT AND WHITE LIVES MATTER" clickbait from one marketing firm

or

"ONN'S TOP 10 !MORE! REASONS A 3RD TERM IS A LOCK FOR MAGA" Exclusive interview with Trump Rises Again from the other marketing team.

Not sure I have a preference for either. It's inevitable though, we're gonna be hearing about this seasonally appropriate burning shit bag on democracies porch for far too long after it either wins or lays low for another 30 years.

white loves matter

Why does that sound like some kind Log Cabin porn?

What a beautiful typo!
