    My favourite thing about this is that … he’ll be remembered forever for shit like this (no pun intended).

    Think about it … JFK had famous speeches and lines like ‘We choose to go to the moon’ … Eisenhower is thought of to his line ‘the Military Industrial complex’ … Roosevelt for his ‘Day of infamy’ speech … even Reagan is remembered for his ‘Tear down this wall’ speech

    Trump? … he’ll be remembered as a senile old buffoon who shared childish videos to make fun of the citizens he was supposed to govern.

    … and it isn’t just representative of Trump … no matter how the country feels about it … his stupidity reflects on the entire nation.

      he’ll be remembered

      That’s what he wants. To have more money than other people, and to be remembered.

      In a way, that’s one nice thing about how he’s destroying America. America will be weakened so much that maybe soon some other country or some new country will rule this land, and the United States will be relegated to history books. And then, Trump will only be remembered by very specialized historians.

        In China they have these statues of a corrupt official and his wife that killed a loyal general like 1000 years ago. People spit on those statues to show they haven’t forgotten the betrayal. Maybe Americans can take a cue from that and always “remember” Trump in that way when he’s gone.

          Hear me out; we take all the statues of Confederate losers and whatever gaudy atrocious bullshit cheeto comes up with, set them all up in a swamp with catwalks placed close enough that people can spit, piss, and if so motivated and properly prepared, projectile vomit/shit on their memories.

        He doesn’t care about being remembered per se, just getting his ego stroked now. And all his shitty juvenile impulses fulfilled.

        some other country

        Yeah, because anyone who’s attempting to control this country is doing such a great job in their own that it’s something we should look forward to.

        How do you think all this shit got started? Trump didn’t really have the friends or influence domestically.

        Classic one I’ll always think of when it comes to this orange turd … they should make that into a statue for everyone to remember

      it’s fucking baffling, even the people we all remember as being the definition of evil are also remembered as being quite serious (in public at least), but modern fascists seem utterly hell-bent on being remembered as parodies that were somehow 100% real
