A foreign diplomat comes racing up the front drive of the White House with an urgent diplomatic cable and hammers on the door of the Oval Office. Trump shrugs and points to the sign on the door, which he has turned around to show CLOSED - it's quitting time!

Not that Trump seems to care, but still, this is all about the base level of decorum/protocol that nobody ever thought would need to be ironclad suddenly being stomped on and the only people with the power to enforce them need him for their voting base.

Well that's unlikely, if his health was likely to be too poor to do the job then he wouldn't have been hired! We're talking about the President of the United States here, you gotta be qualified for a position like that, they don't just let any monstrously unqualified and almost hilariously unprepared idiot into the job!

I don't know why the hell I feel compelled to chime in with a correction but he also spent a year doing the Japan thing. I only bring this up because he loving hated it and if you hate JJ you might get a kick out of reading how miserable the whole thing made him.

I'm sure Trump is relishing in the idea of the city having to come to a halt at his every whim. I expect inspiration from Bridgegate on his part with city visits coinciding with events featuring celebrities opposed to him.

I was across the street from the Harrahs that Dubya was at when he choked on a pretzel in New Orleans. The entire place was physically blockaded by police cars. It was nuts.

Ok I knew I said earlier I'd be ok with calling Obama a lame duck now that it's technically true but this is still super dumb because he clearly still doesn't know what it means

Lord Hydronium posted:Jesus Christ, does he think being President is just a day job or something? To Trump, being President is being the Most Important Person in the World. The Most Important Person in the World doesn't need to do any more work than he feels necessary. Working tons of extra hours is for people who haven't made it, and by definition if he is the Most Important Person in the World, he's made it. It's important for him to delegate to his lessers, people who aren't important or successful enough to be the President. No, his job is to be Important and sign things and put his name on them and receive the adulation of the crowds, the people who want to Make America Great Again, with him. But they couldn't do it without him. More seriously, Trump is and always has only been interested in the prestige of the job and the networking aspects, which he's already trying to use to make himself money. He wants to be the head of state, not the head of government. Prism fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Nov 22, 2016 |

Jedit posted:I disagree. He's very likely to want out when he sees how much work the President actually has to do. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he doesn't complete his first term. When pictures of Trump meeting with Obama post-election came out, Trump looked absolutely miserable. Like, one would think he'd be smirking in a smug fashion or something, but Trump had the face that said "what the hell did I get myself into?". I'll admit that I got a little schadenfreude out of that.

I doubt Trump will resign, as he loves the clout too much. I imagine he'll just delegate almost everything except those yuge decisions that he wants credit for making. Considering his administration is a rat's nest of old has-beens (Newt, Rudy) and formerly fringe racists (Bannon et al), I imagine it will be a vicious storm of infighting and backstabbing as everyone tries to curry favor with The Don and elevate their own careers. It would be amazing to see him resign in the fashion of Palin though. A bizarre, meandering speech that desperately tries to justify resigning when no real reason exists besides "The real money is in punditry."

It's really really obvious the comic is making a point that no odds are impossible fight against with regards to sexism and misogyny. It's meant to be inspiring, not sure how you guys are getting a different take on it.

It was kinda surreal on Election night (well the entire night was surreal, to be fair) seeing photos of Trump and his team staring up at the growing Electoral Vote lead he had and looking confused and slightly upset about it.

I read about a few 4chan idiots who felt sorry for "memeing" a president in, as if they were really responsible, but I doubt it's a large number of them. Also no one really thought Brexit was going to happen and we really, really hate all our politicians over here and want to see them suffer, and that was enough. You guys saw would could happen and did it anyway. The alternative isn't really worth crying over but holy poo poo, you got Trump.
