God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

in terms of foreign policy yes

in terms of domestic policy he enabled some real shitters but so has pretty much everyone else so I will give ya that and ultimately end up agreeing

in terms of actual human being I think he's still bottom half, because he's a total piece of garbage in ways that career politicians are not because they have to get elected

when John Bolton wanted to start a war with Iran, Trump said no, John Bolton called it the worst decision he had ever seen a president make in the history of humanity, and then they went their separate ways.

I really disagree with you here, Tubgoat, because the thing that made Trump so much "less evil" is his incredibly child-like lack of intellectual development. He's very much not garbage in the ways that career politicians are simply because he completely lacks the ability consciously string together immoral acts for long term gain. Hell, it's the same reason he's a lovely businessman.

He's a salesman and showman, and he can certainly grift given an obvious opportunity, but he demonstrated time and time and time again he cannot see situations for the strategic value for extracting profit and will always pursue the short term gain. An example is Erdogan asking why we're in Syria and him, right there and then turning to a senior defense official and asking "Yeah, why are we in Syria?" (Something I just remembered lol).

The very same stuff that makes him ask a 7 year-old if he still believes in Santa or tell a press conference that the Special Olympics are hard to watch is the same stuff that makes him question endless wars where we lose on the ground. He can't see that the purpose of the wars are to enrich defense contractors and shore up the MIC. Hell, he'll give a more money to the MIC, but only because he thinks it will help us "win" and he's only concerned with the facade. He cannot be as evil as other career politicians because it is that lack of understanding the true nature of things which prevents it. Evil relies on knowing you're doing an immoral thing whereas Trump simply doesn't know and it's why Obama is so much worse, because he's fully aware of his evil actions.

DACK FAYDEN's point is that that can all be true but that is also how he comes to be a rapist, which I think we can all agree Barack Obama probably wasn't.

There was like 2 weeks after the new congress was sworn in where McConnell just refused to allow a vote on committees changing chairs so the GOP just stayed in control of the senate because woops you need 60 votes for that.

yeah there's no way he would have been able to build the concentration camps if not already there. Thankfully Nobel Peace Prize Winner Obama took care of that for him, so all he had to do was crank the dial to 11

When Romney flew to Vegas in 2012 to publicly kiss Trump's ring, only to get a lukewarm endorsement and lose. Then spend all of 2016 getting mocked by Trump, having Trump win, flying to DC again to publicly kiss Trump's ring, and then getting jack poo poo.
