He would sue gravity for making him fall down if he could figure out a way. It's always someone else to blame, never a single ounce of responsibility. So tough, not being g able to admit you are wrong or don't know. So manly. So... Pathetic. Blathering blazerskite!

Grumpy Trumpy took a 'lil dumpy; right in his pants, and then did a little dance.
Grumpy Trumpy. How is that not a meme/his nickname? With shit like sleepy Joe I'm sure it would sting his fragile ego.
Sometimes my occasional dyslexia has its advantages.
That nickname is too cute, he deserves something like "pissy pants orange sack of shit"
I continue to believe this timeline could not be any more stupid, and time after time I am proven wrong.
What a pathetic toddler.
Weak, pathetic, traitor
From now on all polling questions must be asked in a way that benefits the administration.
polling research, which currently shows him tanking on everything from the economy and immigration to his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
It is so infinitely moronic that some people thought he would be good for the economy. Trump is an idiot that just happened to be born rich, and he is absolutely evil and ruthless, and is lucky he is not in jail.
If Trump wasn't rich, he would have been in jail by the age of 20. His malignant narcissist personality makes him a habitual criminal. He has no regard for others, social grace, tradition or the law.
He always meant that he was good for the economy of the rich, and not the rest of us. That messaging was directly sent to the billionaire class, with a beneficial side effect of his moron supporters thinking he was sending that message to them, too.
Yes, and he absolutely shamelessly cut taxes for the rich. And anyone can do that if they don't care about balancing the budgets. Which of course the tariffs were really for.
But it's stupid tricks that will prove doubly harmful to the US economy in the long run.
some people thought
Some people don't think.
If Trump wasn’t rich, he would have been in jail by the age of 20.
Where I grew up, his body would have turned up in a shallow grave in the desert, long before he'd make it to jail. And if he did make it to jail, it'd end there.
waste of good shovel durability :P
The first time around, in 2016, there were a lot of "Trump will be great for the economy" takes. There were many unknowns at the time, so I can forgive people who believed that then. By the time 2024 came around, anyone with a pulse - or anyone who hadn't attached their entire ego to him - knew better.
Guy in front of me in line to vote told his kid PEDOnald was going to make groceries more affordable. Morons.
Plus when he was campaigning he laid out exactly how he was going to wreck the economy and raise most people's taxes.
I can forgive people who believed that then
You do you. But no, their ignorance and racism doesn't warrant forgiveness.
A lot of people were 12 in 2016 and didn’t vote until 2024 and a lot of them voted for trump. Iirc a lot of or maybe even most youth (18–25) voted trump
They just thought it would be really funny to have that idiot in charge of the country. Too bad education is an afterthought?!
Well their parents have probably been treating it like a team sport.
Covid fucked the economy, not Trump.
It's hard to argue against because the first part is undeniably true. It's just that the second bit is bullshit, and you can absolutely double-fuck an economy.
2018 was when he first started doing things that affected the economy. The trump slump was real. He was bugging about the Fed not flooding the economy with money even more (which would have made inflation even worse later on).
Then he completely botched the covid response, allowing it to spread faster and farther and longer, which continued to batter the economy.
Trump was fucking the economy well before COVID. His first-term trade war with China was doing serious damage to several different sectors of US manufacturing, pig and soy farmers, and the price of many durable goods.
The problem is that everybody has the memory of a goldfish.
Oh, so you don’t remember when BIDEN CHEATED and immediately shut down the country and tried to inject us all with tracking devices, and we all lost our jobs and everyone died?
It’s ALWAYS the DEMONRATS
/s
My in-laws voted for Trump because they were certain Biden was going to outlaw Catholicism.
Lol. Did you tell them Biden is catholic.
How can anyone be that stupid? Seriously. It just boggles my mind, I'm too stupid to understand the depths of their stupidity.
Yeah, you really can't get much dumber than that. Anyone that bought what that man was selling is a little shy in their bag of marbles.

Trump bankrupted a Casino, a business that by its very nature should be virtually impossible to sink.
Casinos have an initial cost to open, they have some costs to run, but their chief interest is People who have a problem where they give away too much of their money to try to win big, give you all their money, occasionally you have to give a fraction back so it feels less as if the house always wins.
He did it by building another one just down the road from the first one. He didn't pay the people who built it driving many of them into bankruptcy. You only have to look at what he has done to know he is the worst possible person to make a legal buck.
Crazy that he gets away with the number of people he's just, straight up declined to pay.
You'd think after some point either
- People stop working with him
- The people he ripped off track him down to murder his ass
But that never happened, somehow.
Refusing to pay is actually a pretty common trait amongst the extreme narcissistic billionaires.
I just watch that 4 part documentary on Pdiddy and he also refused to pay anyone. He didn't even pay when he had 2Pac killed!

And yet Fox, who has done much much worse, is not.
