Man I can't wait for the day when this dude is far out of our collective memory that we're not posting pictures of him any more. Four years was enough let it die
He is going to run again, or so he says. People pretending like just because he got voted out he is done and will never be a problem again. Ignorance and complacency is how his qult will infect our government once more. While I agree these joke meme posts do nothing, the moment we stop talking about Trump, he wins. He is a criminal and deserves punishment, being rich and famous doesn’t put you above the law and pretending he doesn’t exist doesn’t make his crimes go away either.
people said he would be behind bars the moment he lost the election. what has happened so far? absolutely nothing.
Nothing will happen. If there's one thing Trump was right about, its that America needed the swamp to be drained. Society is fucked. Healthcare is fucked. Economic disparity is still everywhere.
Sadly, I agree. The motherfucker was impeached TWICE and the Senate failed to convict…how many times? That’s right. Twice. Even though he probably has nowhere near the wealth he claims, he’s still rich and we know the rich don’t pay for crimes in the United States.
He's owning the media elite. He's trolling them. It's all 4d chess. He knows better. Really. Everything else he said is correct and this was just him saying something to blow their minds and make the haters stand out.
Remember he's literally following the Roger Stone playbook who said:
The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about
The only thing worse than bad news is no news. It's better to be in the media at all, even for saying things that are obviously wrong, than to be ignored. To not be part of the conversation anymore.
Trump also pardoned Stone from prison for what amounts to treason.
No, people not taking him seriously is how he got elected. No one thought he could win, we all thought people were smart enough to see him for what he was. By the time it was becoming clear he was a legit threat it was too late.
The “people” you’re referring to collected those opinions because of the constant coverage. We’re splitting hairs at this point. These are both reasons why he got elected in addition to a million other things.
That’s the point though. Highlighting his idiocy constantly put him in the spotlight. Then if a mistake happens, supporters jump on it. “Fake news” making their comments even less impactful.
No one thought he could win, we all thought people were smart enough to see him for what he was.
Not sure who is less smart, the one who votes for someone like Trump or the one who doesn't exercise one of his few rights as a citizen. I'm inclined towards the latter.
he wont. He clearly started all this as a joke, if you look at his face the day he won, he couldn't believe and didn't wanted to. Also must be a huge stress on the body, even if he wasn't working like 99% of the time. Hopefully, his health will be in decline in 3-4 years
At this point he needs to be President to stop the investigations. Plus he knows he can scam his supporters out of all their money if he attempts to run again.
I'd love for him to run again. Voters don't like a loser (Sorry, Bernie) cuz they care more about their party winning than they care about 'perfect' representation. Both parties these days hate the other MORE than they love a particular candidate so they pick someone safe versus someone 'good'. (See: lame ol' Joe Biden winning the Dem nomination.) Trump running again would send so much disarray into the Republican presidential-nominee election. Please, Trump, run again, you dumb loser.
He’s different though. He had crazy support in the Republican Party. The democrats never had anyone that could excite people like that. Bernie excited people but not with the intensity or reach of Trump.
Bernie (among other candidates) is supporting certain developments that are detrimental to the upper class. It doesn't matter how much the media impacts this, the elite will never allow for such drastic changes, not under their watch.
Maybe with the older generation dying out, those taking their place will have a change of heart, but I really doubt it. The only way someone like Bernie can make it is in a system that truly cares about society - but relevant systemic changes seem unlikely (for now).
However, I still think people should keep voting for candidates who are pushing for positive changes (such as Bernie), even if chances for election are slim.
Never give up on good ideas, despite low probability for change. Change will come eventually, just not any time soon. Keeping up that pressure and continuing to be involved in politics is much more important than one specific person getting the chance to rule for 4 years.
Politics is a personality cult right now, but the concepts are the real reasons to fight for. Ultimately, it doesn't matter who implements them, as long as it gets done properly.
The Democratic Party also rigged the primary against him. The head of the DNC actually resigned Bc of it iirc. They’re corrupt and they don’t care. The Democrats are fine with winning or losing because losing excites and motivates their base for the next election.
Sure. Bernie lost the first primary which paved the way to his loss of the second... but Trump lost the presidency, and that to the guy he'll likely run up against again. The republican party is, despite popular belief, still not that homogeneous to the point every person is a rabid fan. There are plenty of more moderate people in the party who will rather try someone else than risk putting in someone with a demonstrated history of loss to Biden. The same way there were people in the Democratic party who had FAR bigger favorites in candidates other than Biden but still pivoted to him becuase they were so terrified of another 4 years of Trump.
I don't know. I certainly hope he doesn't for that reason, actually. I don't think age is actually enough for people to not vote for someone if they're otherwise healthy in appearance though, tbh. I think age is far more a number for most people, and in terms of their decisions on president it's far further down the list on what they decide on, especially for an incumbent.
And if he DOES bow out, I still don't think most moderate but committed Republicans would be comfortable voting for a guy who lost the presidential election. Why would they? Even if the poll numbers are true that a third believe he won, he'd still have at least one third believing he is a loser as an incumbent president (something that is NOT common at all, btw). Add in some more reasonable candidates who present themselves as being able to beat the Democrats, and the primary gets real messy. I'd be far more worried about the guy who comes after Trump than Trump himself against any Dem candidate in 2024, Biden or otherwise.
Presidential elections aren't won by getting your diehards to vote for you, they're won by getting votes on the margins. Again, see Biden - he won the nomination and the election because he was moderate in enough areas to make gains in the Democratic margins. He'll lose the GOP nomination for that alone - enough Republicans aren't so crazy they can't recognize that Trump lost on the margins (but I welcome him to try - the chaos will be glorious).
Good chance that if he does run again, he'll win. New voting laws have passed in Georgia and Nevada that basically help enforce voter suppression. There's absolutely no way this country can afford 4 more years of him.
Except this time it'll only attract the die hards. He'll be more far gone down the hole of self-delusion, his rambling speech will be less coherent, he'll more openly court white supremacists and people like the mypillow guy.
It'll be a much more depressing, more tragic, pathetic thing and the worst part is that tens of millions will vote for him.
I don't reckon he'll get past the primaries though. The GOP might court him publicly but they know his toxicity isn't worth it anymore.

It's absolutely worth it to them. His brand of "convservatism" drives the party's base, which willing to let him shit in their mouths as long as liberals have to smell it.
If the party could survive without him, the reaction to 1/6 would have been much different. Not to mention that sitting GOP members now have a very real example of what his followers are willing to do in his name. It's shitty but I can definitely understand those fears.
The difference is that Trump packed numerous lifetimes of criminal behavior into his presidency. Every day new information comes out about how dangerous and corrupt it was. The only chance we'll have to "look the other way" is when he's convicted and ends up in prison. Until then, the wound he dealt this country continues to fester.
"Those who don't learn from history", dude. We NEED to keep talking about it so that we recognize the forces that put him in power. Especially since they're still out there, and they're still trying to undermine democracy.
That’s a conspiracy theory just like bigfoot. Apparently there is a pee tape that all libs dream about but no one has seen. As oppose to Hunters tapes that are all over the place. lol. You guys are really good at this conspiracy theory business.
Hunter's tapes, just like his laptop, don't exist, and even if they did, so what? They're not the actual president's. It's just more "buttery mails" and "Bengazhi" bullshit with you people, trying to drag names through the mud by nothing more than association. We can do that, too. WhErE aRe IvAnKa'S eMaIlS?!?! Speaking of Bengazhi, how many Americans died there as compared to Trump's botched Covid response? Where's our select committee for that debacle spanning years?
Alright, then! Let's have them! ...or did Tucker Carlson lose them again? Oh, darn! I guess I'll just have to go back to " reading the transcripts" again...
BTW, literally no one cares about Hunter. He's not the one running the country... But nice continued attempt at deflection.
pretty creepy that trumps october surprise was dick pics of biden's son. also hysterical he thought that would move the needle, in general i mean...it obviously moves your needle.
Seriously, are you a fan of fascism? Because if everyone acted like you do, the USA would be a fascist state.
By the looks of things you may get worse presidents unless you stop the election rigging that allowed Biden to be president. But the great thing about trump having become president is that it inspires future generations towards greatness.
Zero proof of election rigging. You're actually a moron. No other words for it. You're a moron.
