He could have taken the presidential loss and lived a life of luxury, knowing that he was only one of 45 out of many billion of people to be able to claim that he was the world's most powerful person.

But nope. Had to be a sore loser. What a fucking moron.

[–]haidere36 522 points523 points  (38 children)

He was a sore winner, one of the most pathetic things a person can be. After winning in 2016 he couldn't handle the fact that the other candidate won the popular vote, so he immediately started lying that there were millions of illegal votes, and that without voter fraud he would've totally been more popular. He even created a voter fraud commission for the sole purpose of proving his petty lie right, and even his own commission showed that he was wrong.

Of course he's a sore loser, even when he wins he's fucking miserable. It astonishes me that millions of people want to be like this sad sack of shit.

He also wanted to put light inside the body and disinfect your bloodstream with bleach.

I wonder why my immunocompromised, (newly) anti-vaccine, Qanon mother treats every allergy/cold/flu/covid symptom with peroxide nebulizers and colloidal silver...

My grandmother caught covid for the first time a month ago. My mom apparently gave her a handful of "vitamins" that I know were probably the ivermectin/hydroxychloroquine scripts I've seen laying around my parents house.

My grandma ended up in the hospital with an AFIB attack after she recovered from covid. The off-label prescription meds (felony) may or may not have been related, but I threatened legal action if it ever happens again. Feels like shit to do that as a son, but I needed to put my foot down.

My parents are surprisingly not white trash. They're finishing up a home renovation that cost close to a million dollars. They aren't "dumb". They just don't understand how conservative media warped their reality over the last 20 years.

My mom was a progressive, empathetic person before Trump. My grandfather died right before covid and my mom went down the rabbit hole instead of grieving like a normal person.

Trump's bullshit ruined my family. I don't think this ever would have happened if the McCain/Romney Republicans were still in control of their party.

[–]hemorrhagicfever [score hidden]  (1 child)

I think it's important to recognize, trump isn't smart enough to ruin anything. The sickness was in our society and it had been building for decades.

Intelligent movers and shakers have been breaking down parts of our society to make the average person more susceptible to their designs and control. It's part of why education isn't funded and the right classes aren't taught. Intelligent populations are harder to control. And a population versed in rhetoric and independent thought is hard to manipulate.

People had been moving our society to get and keep control over it for decades, trump was just there to exploit the sickness.

[–]Luke90210 12 points13 points  (1 child)

His lawyer argued that a president should be able to have his political rivals murdered and, unless that president was subsequently impeached, they should be immune from prosecution for the act.

An impeachment, mind you, that would have to somehow be carried out by de facto political rivals.

There is no "just charge him with the additional crimes" option.

Even taking all the classified docs. Had he just given them back, when asked, we would have likely never known about it.

[–]Haydaddict 48 points49 points  (8 children)

THIS. NARA, the body that oversees like the "serial numbers" on classified docs, knew what was missing from their side, and started setting up meetings with Trump team on Jan 21, 2021 right after he left office.

FBI Raided him of August 2022. 1.5 YEARS OF THEM ASKING! He also tried to get his attorneys at one point to lie to them and say that Trump had "returned everything".

NARA knew EXACTLY what was missing and how sensitive, that's why they barely waited a fortnight. FBI found EMPTY folder sleeves some of which were TOP SECRET and what is believed to be nuclear in nature some kind of way.

Little note: remember that Russian Spy Maria Butina infiltrated the NRA and Trump PARDONED HER BOYFRIEND characterizing his conviction as “based off the Russian collusion hoax” .

[–]signalfire 51 points52 points  (6 children)

I guarantee you that sooner or later we'll find out he sold national security information to the highest bidder, or someone he owed money to. He's going to go down in history as the biggest spy/traitor this country has ever seen. The true vastness of his crimes is so much more than we know now.

Dude the Russian mafia is not talked about nearly enough. I think journalists are afraid. Chicago was full of them. Every strip club in America full of Russian girls (one of the big weapons against repugs). Missing stripper in your town? High chance a rooskie is involved. Recent Middle East infiltration is also tied to them. And they don’t all have Russian accents…they prop up American cons with nowhere else to turn. It’s a dangerous dangerous world at all levels and essentially has control of this country now.

[–]Luke90210 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trump gave a recorded interview with respected reporter Carl Bernstein in February 2020, just before the COVID shutdown. He openly acknowledged how bad COVID was going to be, but didn't want to hurt his reputation. He later tried to block that interview, too stupid to realize freedom of the press allows a reporter to report what the POTUS told him to the public. Carl Bernstein didn't need Trump's permission and released audio online to confirm what was in his bestselling book.

To the editor: Trump's attempt to reassure wary voters that he won't "have time for retribution" echoes his 2016 declaration that he wouldn't have time for golf if he were president.

Not only did he have tons of time to wander his own golf courses, his companies also billed the American taxpayers for these outings.

not everything. When he promised the christian fundies he would appoint judges who would overturn Roe v Wade, he did.

If he promises to do something objectively bad, he's not lying. When he promises to be a dictator, he's not lying. When he promises to use the justice department to throw his political opponents in jail, he's not lying. When he promises to ban muslims, he's not lying. When he promises to deport everyone not white, he's not lying.

It's pretty straightforward. If he promises to act with integrity and honesty in the good of the nation, he's lying. When he promises he'll use the office of the presidency to execute revenge and promote racism, he's telling the truth.

If he fails to pay she can get the court to start putting liens on his properties. She seems determined so I'm sure she'll get it done. It can vary a bit between states but she could also go for wage garnishment (probably useless for Trump), imposing a bank levy, and even liens against vehicles and other assets.

[–]xkegsx 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Are the properties owned by him personally or by a separate, protected business entity? Also, a lot of stuff with Trump's name on it isn't owned by Trump or any Trump organization.

[–]raziel686 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I couldn't say. It's difficult because all his businesses are private so financial reporting isn't as detailed. Considering the Trump Organization has already been found guilty of Fraud, I can't imagine the damages trial is going to go any better than the defamation trial. Not only will he have an even larger penalty to pay (over $370 million), but there is a very real chance NYS will ban him from doing business in the state. Trump will no doubt attend the trial and make everything worse for himself like he did in the defamation case because he literally cannot control himself.

This doesn't even get into the criminal Georgia election case, or the hush money case, or the documents case, or the 2020 election case, or whatever the hell else case he is due in court for.

[–]Chelseafc5505 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Well at least the compensatory damages are taxable - to E Jean and therefore deductible to him, if a legitimate business expense is involved, hard to believe shoving his fingers in women’s vaginas was his “business” but a point could be made….. The 70 mil punitive damages are neither taxable to him nor deductible in any way shape or form! Oh, so fun!!

Do you realize that if he didn't totally bungle the coronavirus response, he would have destroyed anybody during his reelection campaign.

His stupidity and weird miscalculation saved us from a second term.

That was essentially the assessment that former Australian PM John Howard made as well.

“He was headed towards a victory until the pandemic hit. It was his mishandling of that because, in the end, the public, when threatened, want their leaders to defend them against the threat.”

I know it's to many "HA"s but I still read this in Nelson's voice.

looks like something the Joker would leave in an alternate timeline where Bruce Wayne became an entitled delusional rapey douche instead of Batman

Trump is the real life equivalent of Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes.

He looks tired and worn out from all the winning.

[–]Kat62649 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem is his father treated him poorly, gave him money made him think he was something which he was trying to prove to his dad that he could do this, but he can’t do it without the Koch brothers or Putin them applauding him the Republican party, and his Maga group egging him on he’s eating it up Feed Me Seymour. None of it will ever be enough.

He was a narcissist before becoming POTUS (I just threw up in my mouth), he just became more arrogant with millions of morons giving him unrestricted support

Too big for his britches with too much power

Get fucked, Trump

Does Donald Trump even have $83 million?

I know he talks shit about how rich he is all the time but that's what broke people do.

[–]fizicks 17 points18 points  (0 children)

All I can think of is that arrested development scene:

"Go on, call me something. I'm redoing my kitchen"

[–]davechri 17 points18 points  (15 children)

republicans think he has a chance of winning the election? It’s going to be worse than 2020.

[–]JustEstablishment594 35 points36 points  (8 children)

Don't underestimate the lack of voter turnout compared to amount of turnout of people that will vote Trump no matter what.

[–]davechri 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Since Roe was overturned Democrats have been turning out. And reproductive rights are on a lot of state ballots.

[–]LooseWetCheeks 9 points10 points  (2 children)

His base is fervent but most importantly smaller.

[–]JustEstablishment594 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Still enough to win if not enough people opposing Trump turn up.

Also, Electoral College can always say no lol

[–]jodyhighrola 8 points9 points  (3 children)

Look at r/conservative. His base, and some of the independent-right folks, would die for him. They are living in their own reality. Biden should handle him easily, but all it takes is some dem fuck up close to the election and were in the twilight zone. I have no clue how that sub is allowed to exist at this point. It’s r/thedonald 2.0

[–]davechri 3 points4 points  (1 child)

In 2020 I was concerned.

In 2024, not at all concerned. Absolutely there are people who are going to vote for trump. There are states where Democrats have literally not chance - Oklahoma, Wyoming, West Virginia, ... But that "trump base" only goes so far.

The electoral vote in 2024 is going to be just like 2020 but with an even wider popular vote margin.

[–]Ph0enixRuss3ll 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The sandpaper dildo of justice. Let's hope it's precedence for guilty in every other trial. People are sick of this justice for sale worship the rich culture.

[–]hopbyte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

$83.3 million so far!

His lips move, but his actual voice comes out of his ass.

In the words of Stacy Hogan, if he ever shuts his mouth, better check him for a pulse.

[–]awkwardlondon 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Can someone enlighten this random euro person here WHY he’s allowed to run for a president again even after impeachment and stuff?!

[–]fargmania [score hidden]  (0 children)

In America, laws end up existing because some dumbass fucked everything up for everyone else. We've literally never had a bigger dumbass get elected President than Trump, so he did all the things that all through our history common sense prevented our previous Presidents from doing. We literally can't write laws fast enough to fill in the hole left by 200+ years of sense and decency. And that's why he can still run for president now.

[–]FlemPlays 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At this rate, all of Trump’s money that would’ve gone to Melania and the kids upon his passing is going to end up in E. Jean Carroll’s pocket. Haha

[–]Poullafouca 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Me too, my client paid for it. She owned an apartment in the residential part of the building. There was water in the fridge with a photo of tRump on it - nauseating.

[–]Jazzlike-Ad113 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Surprised that the sign hasn’t been destroyed or at least defaced.

[–]lovetheoceanfl 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Cannot count how many times I’ve given the finger to that sign when I lived in NYC.

[–]Born-Relief8229 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Grab her by the pussy! 83m … was it worth it ?
