lol he literally could have put his money in an SP500 index and made way more than he actually did, not even adjusting for risk

it's not hard to buy a ton of property and accumulate rent when you already have a bunch of money and dad's real estate empire + brand. dude's basically been treading water for decades and talking a big game and people buy it hook line and sinker it is amazing

he's a reality TV show star except instead of prada bags and hollywood hills it is business and jet planes

He's the ultimate American - part huckster salesman, circus showman, overall failure, and snake oil entrepreneur, you don't get more Americana than that

He changed the republican platform on Russia/Ukraine in exchange for Russia releasing emails to wikileaks and he was very sloppy about it. Sad.

It's about the fact that everything about Trump is a huge facade masking the most fragile ego and the greatest need for validation. And that makes him particularly unfit at leading and managing because one day he's going to collapse and cry like a lil bitch because his approval ratings are bad

Has anything about his presidency actually effected anything in your life beyond your feefees and attempted internet burns?

What's he destroying and for who? Cause the only thing I've seen him destroy is people's faith in democracy and the only thing he is doing is in favor of billionaires. So forgive me for lacking the paranoid delusions required to find him a necessary destructive force

I didn't live in constant dread of dying in a nuclear war or starving to death or being homeless from 2008-2016, like I have for the past two months.

Not that any of that will actually happen, but I shouldn't have to fear that it might because of a hair-trigger bitchbaby president and his cabinet of psychopaths.

List of things trump has done that has affected SA posters:
- Rounded you up if you were a criminal in the country illegally
- Said that one should poo in the bathroom designated by your birth gender

Oh yeah it also made all the Americans in our company go all uncomfortable and ashamed and excusing themselves profusely. Like I would even hold them responsible for any of this instead of feeling sorry for them. Still not tiring from it though.
