Man. If only there was some way to know before he became president. The second time.

Donald Trump: Spends every waking minute of his life being a huge piece of shit to basically everyone he crosses paths with
MAGA: Surprised Pikachu Face "I'm starting to think there's a small chance that Donald Trump might actually not care about me. No that can't be it. He's totally going to follow through on his promise to deliver unicorns and fairy dust any minute now."
He never promised that, though. He promised to rid the land of gnomes, an under appreciated linchpin species. He also promised to reveal who has been pissing in the town well. By doing that, the unicorns and fairy dust would return naturally.
What he didn't mention was that aggressive deforestation had killed all the unicorns and fairies. And even if they did come back, they'd be shot on sight because an endangered species would halt the deforestation and that's currently profitable. Once the wildfires take out the rest of the enchanted forest, the townspeople will likely die in agony with their dignity stripped away, but that'll be profitable, too, if they can convince enough people that their support will put them on the survivor's side!
"But he told me I'm special. 🥺"
It wasn't even a campaign of caring about others. Like the first stupid 4 years, it was about hurting the "right" people. And they don't see themselves as the ones who could be hurt, until it's too late.
if you understand the world to be necessarily a zero sum game, you think the only way to win is eliminate everyone else at the table. these deluded fools are so certain it's a zero sum game they can't fathom that this isn't our goal, too. meanwhile, the left's proposed solution is to step away from the table. to stop playing. to distribute all the chips in the pot to everyone
"The radical liberals are making him act like that" is the new maga mental gymnastics back flip right into denial river. This orange moron is their infallible god.
I wish these people were smart enough to understand how stupid the phrase 'radical liberal' is
Unfortunately, we've got a national media landscape that is absolutely choked with reactionary messaging and fascist propaganda.
I can't really blame a woman way out in West Texas - absolutely swimming in the slurry of AM Radio and right-wing press and arch-conservative religious institutions and social circles - who comes of age thinking that the "Pro-Life Party" actually gives a shit about the lives of young children while the "Far Left Socialist Party" wants to feed your innocent white babies into a Chinese Muslim wood chipper.
Probably doesn't help when the liberal party that ostensibly represents the state's enfranchised opposition spends half their time insisting "Actually yes! Immigration and tax cuts and oil drilling and Israel are the things that matter most! Those conservatives are just doing it incorrectly. They should govern more like Andrew Cuomo and Gavin Newsom!"
I'm dreading going into 2026, when the national big topic of conversation is going to be whether George Soros paid ISIS illegal immigrants to install the windmills that caused West Texas 9/11.
If only there were some document that clearly outlined his plans in intense detail while he was running for president.
I voted for everything you are doing.
To hit the nail so perfectly on the head and still not get it…
I know it flies in the face of this subs reason to exist but these people will still vote for him.
Despite their whinging when an election comes around they will be reminded about what ever wedge issue got them out last time and go vote Republican.
These people are entirely capable of being shocked Pikachu and voting for that at the same time.
i voted for everything you are doing!
That's right, you did. Including this. Put on the big girl pants and own your fuckup, but know you won't be forgiven. Ever.
There is a path to redemption, but she's not on it.
The path to redemption starts in Nuremberg
There was that one lady who was present at the Capitol on J6 (I think she was arrested and convicted?) who has since publicly recognized her error, and (as I recall) refused the blanket pardon, because she admits that what went on there was criminal.
That lady is fine by me. She is the singular example of someone actually on the path to redemption that I am aware of.
Sir, I voted for you (twice) thinking you were a good person even though I heard about you sexually harassing women, exploiting laborers, running failing businesses, killed people during the pandemic, took away medicare and medicaid for millions of people, delaying FEMA relief funds to both blue and red states, trying to take away social security, deporting working class immigrants, building literal concentration camps and calling it Alligator Alcatraz, deporting people to a notorious prison in another country, suspected allies with Putin, literally got impeached twice for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress and incitement of insurrection...
But I believe you're still a good person
I'm fucking sick of these people. The list goes on and on. Every day of my life during Trump's two terms in office I hear one fuck up after the next and literal no positives. A broken Clock is right twice a day, this oompa loompa had 8 fucking years and can't do anything right. How these leaded gasoline drinking lunatics vote for this man time and time again I don't even know. Fucking guy is the definition of a fascist and lawyers jump in every week watching him fuck stuff up.
Grab them by the pussy was basically day one. We've known that's who he is, from his own words, for ten years now and still people are surprised when stuff like this happens. It's hard to fathom.
Golly all that bullshit propaganda I ate and forced on my children is so different from what’s actually happening. It’s just so confusing I’m sure the liberals did it.
"Please reconsider, sir."
God these people are such cucks.
They're so rabidly "American" but they are the biggest pushover losers on the planet letting a felon rapist shit all over them repeatedly. That's pretty decidedly NOT American.
I'm trying to imagine what it would be like to be such a loser and I simply can't wrap my mind around it.
Never regarded Trump as the voice for ANY victim. He doesn’t care about other people, unless it’s family.
I’m not convinced he even cares about his family.
Just enough to want to screw the female members
I imagine family is only to a point too, as long as they provide something for him, imagine how many "illegitimate" kids he has out there that either don't know, or get nothing regardless.
Golly, I can’t believe the self-admitted sex offender doesn’t care about sex crimes!
You mean the guy that publicly bragged that owning the Miss Teen USA pageant allowed him to go backstage and ogle naked underage girls is hiding the Epstein list? You don't say.
"I voted for everything you are doing."
So then you are in agreement with him.
If she's talking about epstein, I wonder what she'll think when she finds out he was one of the perpetrators. Ya know, with all of those pictures of them together, she might have gotten a clue. His name was even on the notepad at the residence where it all happened in miami.
Does anyone else literally gag at the term "sir" in this context?
Accountability? You want accountability from God? Why do you think you know better than God who absolutely needed to wash those people away?
We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing. Move along, citizen.
Spoiler alert, the pervert is coming from inside the White House
Right, who better than a rapist to uncover the truth about a rapist?
"Sick perversion" in the dark tongue of MAGA refers to "jovial non-hetero and non-cis people at a cool beach party surf off for cool people."
For anyone still not clued in on this, trump wasn't on the Epstein list as a client, he was on it as an partner/accomplice!
He's not just a member, he's also the president
If only she suspected that he IS part of the problem there. I would pay to see the shock on her face if it ever gets out.
Still a stupid asshole that sold her country before her 4 kids got a chance at life. Great job!
Does she does look like a Hapsburg to anyone else? Just a little bit?
That can easily be read as "Why aren't you framing Hillary for your raping children? Hold her accountable!"
I don't expect people so detached from reality to ever come back.
Well, let's see, Rosie. He's guilty of 34 felonies. He was often seen around and photographed with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who called Trump his "closest friend of the last ten years". He's a rapist, literally defined as such for the record while in court for defaming his victim. He has a history of barging in on multiple Miss Teen USA minors in various stages of undress. Repeatedly. He made disgusting comments about his own daughter and her body ("voluptuous", "a piece of ass", etc) saying he might be dating her if he weren't her father, says he got away with grabbing women "by the pussy" because he was famous, was found guilty of illegal campaign payments to a pornstar he had sex with while his wife was home with his infant child... Shall I go on?
Do you think this man would let the legal age of consent in our country stop him? Why do you actually think his administration is suppressing the Epstein Files?? Even if he hung around sex traffickers Epstein and Maxwell yet somehow abstained from abusing their underage victims, he's certainly protecting anyone who did! He's certainly benefiting from keeping that client list secret! I'm glad that at least something is over the line for you, but you're correct: you voted for everything he's doing.
This is literally the opposite of LAMF.
LAMF means supporting someone saying they'll do a thing, incorrectly assuming they'll do the thing only to others and not you(r [collective]), without the someone having explicitly stated such.
Then when the thing IS done to you (r collective]) as well, the LAMF is confirmed by them complaining that it was, or acting surprised that it was.
If you support someone when they promise to do something, then they DON'T do it, that's literally as far from LAMF as you can be.
