    I can remember US presidents going back as far as Reagan, both Republican and Democratic. No matter whether they were Republican or Democrat, I've never thought much of either side over the other until now. But Trump has succeeded in having the rest of the world look at US Republicans as a bunch of racist and stupid neanderthals. But then maybe this is the new normal, where they can be excused for being no different than Russians who support Putin, or Chinese who support the CCP; Maduro, Duterte followers etc.

    But where Trump, trumps them all is in his mastery of using social media to get around accountability. Fox News has fallen out of favour because they have the temerity to be able to question him, but he can say anything on Twitter and the most that will happen is a line saying this might be disputed.

    One thing for sure is that he has not succeeded with, nor could he "Make America Great Again".

    I think what Trump is doing with his refusal to accept the democratic process is treason. He is undermining America and and encouraging sedition.

    That's not even considering the way he actively encourages people to flout Covid restrictions.

    Trump has now lost or withdrawn 24 cases since the election. The 1 win was a minor issue in Pennsylvania that affected a tiny number of votes. #winning

    Speak for yourself. I’ve thought little of him for years.

    He was a running joke on the Simpsons.

    A joke which cut remarkably close to the bone.

    Anyone claiming to care about warmongering and the deaths of civilians, but who is unwilling to expend the tiniest effort to do some basic fact checking of what actually goes on, needs to cop themselves on.

    It's pretty unpleasant to use incorrect data about the deaths of civilians as something that can be used for cheap point-scoring.

    If you want to harp on about drone strikes, and not be a ar$ehole, then at least try to get your facts right.

    Given that some here have said that people trying to escape from places being bombed should be left to drown at sea, it's a bit of a laugh that they are suddenly worried about them.

    I think you have all been fooled, I was too until I saw unedited footage, debunked lies and full quotes by him that were misrepresented by those who oppose him. It all became propaganda and not actual truth. Any time I hear the ill informed say he is a warmonger or a dictator I just pity them as it could not be future from the truth, Trump is one of the few presidents that is anti-war. A generation of people who just read headlines or get their news from twitter can not be a good thing.

    In the words of the big man himself "it is what it is." If you tell a lie enough it then becomes truth.

    You are confusing "Notoriety" with "Liked/Loved"

    He was popular/notorious in the way that that one bar in every town is - You know the one , the one that always has a squad car outside with the lights on usually accompanied by an Ambulance.

    Everyone hates the place , but somehow you can't not at least walk past ,just to see what absolute mayhem is going on.

    (Some) People enjoyed watching him on TV to marvel at his utterly blatant sh!te-hawkery and stage managed vacuous banality.

    Very very few people "liked" him let alone "loved" him.

    A big part of his personality was formed by how utterly despised he was in New York in the 1980's - He couldn't understand why "high society" viewed him as something they had just stepped in.

    He was never accepted and never liked. He so desperately wanted to be like by the Hamptons crowd and simply never could - To them he was just a uncouth barrow-boy from Jersey - And they weren't wrong.

    Well he showed them didn't he!

    He went on to become the 45th president of the United states of America. Arguably the highest most powerful position on the planet.

    Aside from all the hateful attacks. To cheer my other conservative friends up, we've now reached the point that we have almost certainty that neither Bernie sanders or Hillary Clinton will ever have a chance of becoming US president. Just a bit of warmth on this November eve.

    Graceful and eloquent statement from Michelle Obama:

    "This week, I’ve been reflecting a lot on where I was four years ago. Hilary Clinton had just been dealt a tough loss by a far closer margin than the one we’ve seen this year. I was hurt and disappointed—but the votes had been counted and Donald Trump had won. The American people had spoken. And one of the great responsibilities of the presidency is to listen when they do. So my husband and I instructed our staffs to do what George and Laura Bush had done for us: run a respectful, seamless transition of power—one of the hallmarks of American democracy. We invited the folks from the president-elect’s team into our offices and prepared detailed memos for them, offering what we’d learned over the past eight years.

    I have to be honest and say that none of this was easy for me. Donald Trump had spread racist lies about my husband that had put my family in danger. That wasn’t something I was ready to forgive. But I knew that, for the sake of our country, I had to find the strength and maturity to put my anger aside. So I welcomed Melania Trump into the White House and talked with her about my experience, answering every question she had—from the heightened scrutiny that comes with being First Lady to what it’s like to raise kids in the White House.

    I knew in my heart it was the right thing to do—because our democracy is so much bigger than anybody’s ego. Our love of country requires us to respect the results of an election even when we don’t like them or wish it had gone differently—the presidency doesn’t belong to any one individual or any one party. To pretend that it does, to play along with these groundless conspiracy theories—whether for personal or political gain—is to put our country’s health and security in danger. This isn’t a game. So I want to urge all Americans, especially our nation’s leaders, regardless of party, to honor the electoral process and do your part to encourage a smooth transition of power, just as sitting presidents have done throughout our history.

    In the 80s he wanted to own an NFL team. The other owners didn't like him and didn't want him so no one would any shares to him. He sued them saying they were running a monopoly. He was looking for billions in damages or for them to offer him a stake in one of the teams in return for dropping the suit.

    He won the suit and was awarded damages of $3.76. Yes you read that right. 3 dollars and 76 cents 🀣🀣 what a great businessman!

    Whoop de freaking doo :rolleyes:

    Republicans are to busy being shìt scared about the young upcoming Dems like AOC, Meanwhile your hero lasted one term, got impeached, lost the popular vote twice ( once to Clinton which has to hurt really bad) and is being laughed out of every court across the Nation as he feebly attempts to grasp onto power.

    Wheres the Trump zealots who were calling him an Alpha male not so long ago? They seem to have disappeared now he has turned into a whiney little bìtch.

    Nobody is afraid of AOC, now democrats are back in power she'll have to get really moderate or face a wipeout next time round. She was an extreme reaction to a perceived extreme.

    You missed the part where he drove an entire sports league out of business at the cost of $163mn, in order to get that $3.76.

    It's up there with his finest achievements, such as bankrupting casinos and not being touched by any American bank for a long, long time.

    Being afraid of AOC is liking being afraid of Paul Murphy or PBP getting into government.

    They are both the same and not fit for higher office.

    74% of the vote in the democratic primary and 68% in the house election. You may have to find solace elsewhere
