It's going to take decades to undo all the damage he's done in just five years. This second term is a hundred times worse than his first. His cabinet is worse than the first one was; every single one of them, without exception, is an incompetent ass-kissing idiot who knows absolutely nothing about the cabinet they're the head of. Just like he's an incompetent idiot who knows nothing about leading a country. Hell, the only way he ran his businesses was into the ground, every single one of them.
There's nothing he won't destroy or demolish or ruin for everybody. Wake the eff up, MAGAts and supporters, this is your country too and he's ruining it for you too! You can't blame it on the Democrats anymore; it's all on him. He broke it; he owns it.
I worry about the generations to come. I want to apologize to them for how ignorant so many people were to believe that monster's lies or hated "the other" so much that they voted against their own best interests or wanted to "own the libs" or whatever other stupid fucking reason they had for voting for that abomination not once, not twice, but three times, knowing perfectly well who and what he really is. I'm also sorry that I have no explanation for it because I don't understand it myself.

CrispyQ
(40,980 posts)Granted he's gotten worse, less filtered, but anyone paying attention knew who he was back in 2015. It's on the republicans in congress, who could shut this thing down any day, but don't cuz they're afraid of the bigger problem, the stupid fuck magas. Trump is a symptom, & when he's gone, maga will just vote for the meanest prick the repubs can put on the ballot.

(11,739 posts)no matter what he thinks of himself, he's just a very useful tool for several enemies of the US. Foreign and Domestic. They are the problem.

(13,438 posts)When he is gone, the US will have lost the reserve currency and be in a recession, if not an outright depression. No longer to police the world, they will be lucky to be included in the rest of the world. Other countries are trying to move on, except for his stupid fucking decisions to attack other countries that affect everyone. JFC NK seems like a more stable country right now.

(28,303 posts)MAGAts have the attention span of a housefly; most have the alpha waves of a rutabaga. So when their masters told them to "hate government," they obeyed, and we got tRump.

(550 posts)Our light and laughter... it's the reason he's taking us down with him. He can not laugh. He doesn't have actual friends. He doesn't understand the beauty of kindness and humor. We all do. And he can't touch it.it eats at him. His envy of joy. Biden Harris Obama's you me them. We all enjoy life.fuck him. Our souls belong to us.

(11,739 posts)and a guy and his wife were walking through the grocery store. Both wearing tRump shirts that said in big letters "this is EXACTLY what I voted for".
A couple coworkers had to make sure I stayed away from them, it nearly killed me to keep my mouth shut, but I was at work.
MIButterfly
(2,736 posts)but after seeing people putting diapers over their pants and wearing shirts that said "Real men wear diapers" and women actually wearing T-shirts saying "He can grab me by" with an arrow pointing downward, it's pretty hard to shock me anymore. Disgust me, yes; shock me, no.
And those shirts and the fools wearing them are disgusting.
MIButterfly
(2,736 posts)Of course, if they listen to nothing but Fox Alleged "News" and right-wing radio and podcasts, they're not going to know the truth of what's really going on.
They may be thrilled now but just wait until something he does affects them personally and if they still support him after that, they're beyond any kind of redemption.

(40,630 posts)My investments are all doing great! He can have a third term as far as Im concerned!
If theyre here illegally, they should leave. Get rid of them any way possible, I dont care how.
The thing is, right now there ARE things that affect everyone
.. such as high gas prices, high grocery prices, health insurance covering less and less, global warming affecting our food supply
. I think some folks minds are just gone from watching Fox News.

(2,736 posts)Remember when presidents were not allowed to profit from the presidency? They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm. And yet DJT can profit off his presidency with reckless abandonment. Why is he above all protocal, rules and laws? Why are all the Republicans and his sycophants so afraid to tell him "no"?
ShazzieB
(22,624 posts)I've heard a lot of pundits say that he chose his cabinet members like he was casting a TV show, picking people for how they look and sound on camera and ignoring factors like experience and judgment. I think that theory checks out.
I also think he has an unconscious aversion to smart, accompiished people, because they trigger his insecurities and make him feel inferior. Competent people also tend to have opinions of their own about things, which he finds highly inconvenient. This time he has surrounded himself with people who are as stupid as him in or worse and who pass his "loyalty" test of being willing to obey his orders without question.
Rember how Jeff Sessions got fired as AG back in 2018 because he recused himself from the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election? Whatever else you can say about Sessions, he did the right thing in that instance, but he went against Trump's wishes in doing so. The Orange One finds that kind of "insubordination" to be intolerable, and this time he made sure to pick people who will ask "How high?" When he tells them to jump.
Unfortunately, that "strategy" (if you can call it that) has backfired on him, because it has culminated in a clown car full of clowns who are utterly incapable of doing their jobs. I hope and pray that this will lead to his downfall, or at least play a big role in it.
MIButterfly
(2,736 posts)I agree with everything you said, especially the part about TV. It seems like it's all a TV show to him and he, and he alone, is the star of it.
Damn the producers of "The Apprentice" for foisting this miserable, broken-down loathsome creature upon us and for making him appear smarter and far more competent than he actually is. Damn them to Hell.
ShazzieB
(22,624 posts)The producers of that show unwittingly created a monster who was able to march into the 2016 primaries with a built in fan base who were primed to believe he was a brilliant businessman and all around great guy. *sigh*
I hope somebody writes a book someday, analyzing how that stupid reality show set him up for political success. I don't think it's gotten nearly the attention it deserves as a factor in his rise to power.

(40,630 posts)I knew some people who loved it. Myself, I could not stand his personality for more than 5 seconds.

(2,736 posts)I never watched one minute of that show. Even then, there was something so off-putting about DJT.

I tried to watch it once, just out of curiosity. I lasted about 5 minutes.

I know Florida is no big loss, having turned red already but All the states, even blue ones are putting bills out there (even Illinois!)

he wasn't purposely trying to destroy everything about this country,
