LOL. No matter what happens in American politics, one thing is assured: when Trump is gone, and there's no longer any benefit to covering up his many crimes, he will be remembered as one of the worst people in history.

Well, I'll be damned. He actually got something right.
He's also right about the fact that smart people don't like him and about the fact that he shouldn't be president if he's not as talented as Jimmy Kimmel
I highly doubt it's finished at the end of his term.
It might not be a pile of rubble, but if there's anything there it's going to be flimsy cardboard not up to code and needs to be torn down anyways.
I hope he's alive to see it torn down.
I'm torn between that and just wanting him dead asap.
Vote for me. My only campaign promises are to undo as much of what trump did, and my second campaign promise is "bacon". No I will not elaborate in any way on the second campaign promise. No more questions please! Goodnight everybody!
Instead of being President he is busy building monuments to himself. Garbage administration.
I hope everything gets reversed when he’s gone. The illegal renaming of the Kennedy center, the ballroom, the gold refinishing of everything, the departments, “supreme court”, etc, etc. I just wish they had enough balls to stop them from doing illegal sh before they did it.
Reagan's bullshit wasn't reversed under Clinton. Bush's bullshit wasn't reversed under Obama. Trump's first-term bullshit wasn't reversed under Biden. America just keeps going further and further down the toilet. The only option for the rest of humanity is to keep America's collapse contained.
Nice generalizations. But if you can’t list anything specific that’s as petty as the Trump-Epstein center or the Trump-Epstein ballroom or the gulf of Epstein, or come up with as huge a list as we can for the current administration, your attempt at “both sides same” falls flat.
Like it or not the current administration is historical. The flood of bs is unprecedented. The self-aggrandizement and profiting off the government has never been done by any party at any level approaching what we see today.
That isn’t what they were saying at all. The first person said they hoped that the bad shit would be undone by the next adminstration and the person you responded to mentioned past examples where new administrations did not do a lot, if anything, to undo awful policy. They didn’t say that the Democrats were just as bad but they rightly pointed out that said party doesn’t really put a lot of effort into fixing what was broken.
Who needs tax dollars when you can just waste it on vanity projects
He's not being self aware at all, he's just whining. It's a justification for a decision he's already made.
"We have to do it because nobody else will". That's probably the same logic he used to put his name on the Kennedy Center, or his picture on all of his buildings. Doesn't he want to put his face on a quarter? And Mt Rushmore? Seems to me we're being forced to memorialize him everywhere.
Can't wait for the inevitable trump face on Mt Rushmore, which will be immediately stopped the moment he croaked or step down (whichever comes first) so that all that's memorialized is a horribly disfigured face.
He's not stepping down. He's going to throw a fit in 2029 if he hasn't found a way to be officially a dictator without term limits.
That’s always been his biggest skill - no shame about putting his name and face everywhere.
What a peek behind the curtain. He feels alone and unloved. He has the most rabid fans and people flattering him constantly and he feels none of it. I'd pity him if I didn't loathe him so much.
Probably because none of his family likes him and he doesn’t really like them. And now he’s dying.
Is he going to have maga at his bedside? He’s going to die alone and the moment he’s dead everyone is going to turn on him.
I’ve been a salesmen in some fashion my entire life.
Trump is a salesman, not the best, not the smartest… but that has always been his game. He’s selling the idea of himself and he sold it to nearly half the population of the country.
The idea… of who he is… trump…
No one can walk in and take a shred of that power. Not even his kids with the trump name.
He sold the idea of himself and that’s what people bought. They aren’t going to say “and now jd Vance!”
I have no doubt maga will rally behind another but I don’t think anyone can predict who. And it will just be what’s left of the die hard cultist not the Republican Party itself.
The power dissolves when trump goes away.
They support him. That’s the product they bought.
Anyone can be sucked into a cult.
Racism is a sign low intelligence.
Intelligent people can be tricked and walked down a road into crazy.
I’ve tried to save so of my friends from q- anon. “You want adrenichrome? I can buy it for you online right now, ship it to your door! No one is harvesting children for it, it’s widely available and doesn’t make you immortal!!!”
I’ve seen smart people devolve. That’s the real shame. Stupid people do stupid things. Trump made a lot of smart people stupid as well. Which isn’t good for anyone.
There’s a good documentary called “the brainwashing of my father” or something like that. It’s very good.
You tapped into things I’ve thought about a lot. Being a salesman, being interested in cults and history (shout out to behind the bastards)
We a rationalizing machines not thinking machines. We have a hunch instantaneously and tend to fight to protect that hunch even when proven wrong. It’s a real problem.
My father went from making videos about the homeless needing help to “a million immigrants a day cross the boarder!!!!”
It was tragic to see him fall. He died a a couple years ago. I rember him as the good man he used to be.
but I don’t think anyone can predict who
It'll be whoever they put in front of them. They have controlling his base down to a science. Whoever Fox and OANN tells them to vote for. They's say that whoever the competition is wants to take their houses, eat their food and educate their kids and they will never question any of it.
It’s not that easy.
First trump isn’t going to support anyone who comes after, he’s too selfish.
So the party will be picking alone without his support.
The thing is big money might run things if they could “just pick someone” they would’ve done this decades ago.
Again I refuse to compliment trump. He was a mediocre salesman and he “scratched an itch” enough people had. You can’t just throw a dart and replace him with who it hits.
People won’t buy that product.
Tag this one, i'd be more than happy to eat crow after the next election. Things aren't going to go down they way the did in 'precedented' times.
I think a big part of it is he's all their worst selves including being an absolute dupe. You get other politicians who are as vicious or shameless, but they feel like politicians. They were cutthroat climbers or people selling out to him. And they all kiss the ring. He would never kiss the ring but he's just as brainwashed by the propaganda machine as they are. He's just as obsessed with himself as they are.
Honestly the only one I've seen as virtueless as him is Erika Kirk
Oh people like him live the saddest lives imaginable. I personally know a narcissist nwith psychopathic tendencies and he actually acts a lot like trump, the midnight rants on how the world has wronged him, the weird "I cannot name a single person without immediately adding some judgement to it" like "Tom who is the greatest architect ever" and "Susan, that bitch"
He loves spending time and money on making others miserable, family included. Everything is a transaction, the guy knows no love, and gets none.
He controls his kids with money, sort of, but since the kids loathe him and can't wait to be independent and away from him, he'll lose them soon anyways. He always claims he is loved by hundreds even though nobody can stand being around him. His friends are bought as in these are people that are around whom because he pays them.
He has a clothes guy that sells him overpriced clothes, and he calls the guy a friend. The guy's literally around him only because he continuesly buys new clothes, multiple times per week
Nobody really knows how much money he has, he always claims everything is too expensive, and he constantly reminds everyone including his children on how much money he's spending on everyone and it's literally also the only one thing he has to give, the only thing he's good for: money. That is also what he'll be reminded for: money.
The life is legit sad and I'd feel bad for him if he wasnt such a giant asshole all the time to everyone. Fuck this asshole
Damn. I'd rather be broke and have friends than live like that for an hour.

oh gosh, now i'm wondering how my friends think of me. like, i'm unabashedly weird and enjoy it, but i have a little 3-second happy memory attached to people i care about in my brain kind of like a hype man, so if i'm telling a story and introduce a new character i can really quickly tell them who they are in three seconds. unfortunately my wife is "injustive to abbreviate" so she has to deal with that. fortunately she's there, so my friends don't have to deal with that in my storytelling. i'm probably "good in small doses" to them.
If you’re worried about what your friends think of you, then you are probably just fine.
Trump is sad and alone but he’s pretty sure it’s everyone else’s fault. Same with the above commenters friend .
If you took a second to consider you might be doing something wrong you are probably an alright person to hang around.
Does he though? Tons of maga online presence has been rooted out as being foreign based and a lot of the people at his rallies literally travel about following him like he's a shitty band.
I'm pretty sure there are plenty of us who will build a monument to him. A monumental shit on his grave.
If I knew where reagans grave was, I'd load up on fiber and spaghetti. I want it forcefully expelled from my bowels as an almost liquid consistancy. I want to spray it, so you can't really remove it. I want to power wash his grave with my butt juice.
Normally I would say it's better to piss on his grave but apparently he's into those types of things. Don't want to resurrect him when he finally kicks the bucket now do we?
I like the idea of a Trump statue as the Saddam Hussein statue news was very compelling when seeing it being toppled by it's citizens.
How about a monumental guillotine?
How about a functional one
I did a massive monument to him in my toilet this morning. And I'll do another one tomoz.
Frankly, I’m incredulous. I simply don’t believe that Donald Trump is capable of being that self-aware.
Destroyed with next admin.
I can’t believe any company would take the contract, given his reputation for not paying bills.
Companies can take out loans against projects on their books in order to finance delivery. And because banks are often run by people more greedy than careful, this opens an easy second hand swindle by which you claim yourself as a government contractor with a $300M project, borrow the balance at some percentage you don't care about, and then never pay it back.
Yeah, sure. Your name is burned. But for a healthy cut of a nine figure job, who cares? This ballroom is twice what the Ocean's Eleven team heisted, and it's all legal.
Agreed. Although there's currently no plan in place because he can't get his shit together. So no contract yet, either.
But they can sue the us government for violation of contract. As long as they do it after he leaves office they likely win.
Maybe Trump heard Lewis Black's bit about building "a big fucking thing". He's gonna build a ballroom restaurant, a ballroom hotel and casino, a ballroom SPA!
although, in Black's bit, he suggested using the construction of the big fucking thing to create jobs. Trump is trying to build a big fucking thing without paying people for it.
I'll build him a monument... well, it'd be more of an effigy, but close enough.
Might be the first true thing he's said. Ain't no one else gonna build monuments for him. Might be removing a few when he's out of office.
I really hope it gets torn down within the next 3 administrations. That area of the lawn would be a pretty nice location for a sort of Garden. Perhaps a memorial garden dedicated to Obama or something.
Believe me, there will be monuments to Trump. Like being listed with Benedict Arnold and the Rosenbergs as one of the biggest traitors in American history.
