    Everything this moron does is a direct reflection of just how dumb this entire country is.

    I don’t think of stupid Donny any more … every time I see these headlines, all I can imagine is just how stupid America is.

      “Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out.” --George Carlin

      Many of us aren’t that stupid, or maybe I just live in a bubble (San Francisco) and the majority of the rest of the country is, in fact, that stupid. Idk, I haven’t done much traveling in the US lately.

        There has been a lot of historical revision on Nero in recent years. He was probably a much better ruler than contemporary Roman history claims.

        Caligula on the other hand…

    It’s small-minded, it’s petty, and it’s not classically presidential by any possible stretch of the imagination. It’s also funny as heck.

    Our world has descended so far that parody is no longer effective.

      Comedy will not keep me from going bankrupt from medical debt, create a robust middle class or for that matter, produce the Epstein files.

      Also, comedy is subjective. As an example, I don’t think it’s funny, I think it’s fucking dumb. Third rate 4-chan trolling shit is only mildly amusing when coming from a fourth grader, it’s absolutely retarded coming from the octogenarian president of the United States.

        Why do you want a middle class? That implies the existence of a lower and upper class.

        Instead we need to abolish classes

    As long as they don’t get upset if they replace trumps image later with a orange Cheeto or something.
