Never EVER discount the fact that Drumpf has been all about deflecting from the Epstein files. I really hope he, his regime, his family, and his cult face eternal shame for the corruption and crime he has been responsible for.
No, history will see that a majority of Americans enabled and condoned this behavior, because it resonated with them. It was important to not allow Hitler to be mystified as a force of nature that happened to hapless Germans, you Americans will have to bear the same kind of responsibility. Trump is just the avatar of the national culture you either allowed to fester or even actively helped grow.
Well yes but no. He's been a very successful con-man. He committed every atrocity in the book while conning his way all the way into the oval office and has continued to grift on a global scale. Dumb, petulant, pathetic, sick, evil sure but a failure? he certainly hasnt failed at doing whatever he wants or feels like doing.
Given the state of the American education system I wouldnt be surprised if future generations dont learn about presidents in general outside of like Washington and Lincoln. Outside the US Id imagine he would just be forgotten or glossed over in a world history class.
Not quite on the mark though, Trump never had plans to build anything, and never claimed to. His entire plan is in full swing and working almost exactly as anticipated. He, his family, and the leeches he calls friends are all getting astronomically wealthy by stealing money from every single one of your pockets, and telling you to be grateful.
Exactly. He will be remembered as a conman, but a wildly successful one who conned himself into a position of ultimate power, where very few people in positions of authority within the US are even _attempting_ to slow him down.
I'm still amazed that people think that Trump's actions have been his own. The vast majority of his policies have been given to him from the power makers in the conservative movement. Yeah, there has been plenty of friction between the groups, which is how Trump is allowed to grift so much; but in the end? It's all there to lay the foundation for the next development of the GOP. Y'all do understand that the GOP have a vision for America, and Trump isn't the final form. He's a stepping stone.
I keep trying to point this out, but I encounter virtually nobody who will hear any of it. Trump is the ugly face of a terrible problem. That problem doesn't need his face on it anymore. When he is gone, the problem prevails.
He always has been, which is why anyone who gave him credibility and voted for him isn’t that much better.
He didn’t even had to work that hard to get those people, just a little bit of rehearsal of that classic right wing rhetoric, amplified with fake news then you have a cult, so dedicated they don’t even see how bad they got screwed over and over and still supporting him.
So he’s all of that and more but there has to be an aftermath as cult movement rarely flourish after the leader’s gone.
Oh get bent. You want democracy? This is the risk. Social media was and still is how this grift is coerced. We, like everyone else, still can't figure that out. As for history, "why didn't they teach that in school?!?!", is an excuse for not going to the library or the Internet. Here is what I learned in school decades ago: humanity is fraught with ugliness, so be careful. That is all you need to know. The rest is up to you.
If the rest of the world sees it that way, then they are also being deceived. We did NOT vote for this and the vast majority of Americans oppose everything that is and has happened. He had the election rigged and Im tired of pretending he didn't. He admitted/hinted at such on several occasions. "He did a great thing in Pennsylvania with their election. He knows their computers"... never forget. Musk won it for him.
TWICE?! Wake up dude, your people voted for this. With some help sure, but make no mistake, those votes were real and you can't make believe your way out of it.
Denial is the most predictable reaction. If you didn't agree with this you'd do something about it. Waiting for an election years away is doing nothing.
Oh I know quite a few people that did that too, but I sincerely doubt it was the "landslide" he likes to brag about. I don't think he got the popular vote at all. He's going on and on about election interference, and it's projection. He himself was the cause of the interference.

I can see for myself how he is. No surprises there.
The real problem is how he got elected. TWICE.

We can start now by renaming the term "trump" from "trump card" meaning wins over all others to something more akin to https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPWE1NzM3M2U1Z3JrMXNmY21wb3oxaXh3bzAzNDhlZDNzYWl3bmx2eXdzeDI5MzdsbSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/C0GYKFPeOYCaV3kpSc/200w.webp

I always thought everyone could spot a conman but I didn’t account for half of the nation being unable to see it.

I believe that more than half saw it; but half the country was either OK with it or didn't care as long as it was happening to other people.

"Generations will be taught that he was nothing more than a con man."
Bold of you to think that people will actually learn a lesson from this.

Totally agree. Though I'm less scared by Trump than the amount of stupid f*cks who elected him.

The rest of the world recognize that Americans voted for this and accepted it. Americans always lie about their own history.
jaggcomputing5
TBH, pretty much every country lies about themselves at some point. America is just doing it on a colossal scale.

Be fair: a lot of Americans never knew their history to begin with. We're really bad at teaching it in schools.

I really don't think Americans voted for this. I think this was a win manufactured by that new trillionaire guy.

"a billionaire paid for the campaign that convinced me to vote for a rapist" is a really poor excuse.

Unfortunately, I know several people that actually did vote for this

Starlatan
Highly doubt it as he can barely run his own diaper. His cronies around him though are the real rot, while dUmp is just the symptom.
Onebigcanuck
It most definitely wasn't a landslide. It was 1.5% more of the popular vote. No where but in his mind is that a landslide.
psugab
He only looks at the electoral college, which is stupid on several levels
