What moments have caused the most :f5: in Trump thread history?

If we aren't counting the election itself, probably the night of the first travel ban, when no one knew what was going on and it felt for a while like the bad guys would actually succeed in knocking down the whole system.

Norquist was never a sane person. His whole schtick is that when he was a teenager he wrote a pledge that he still to this day gets all GOP politicians to sign saying that they promise to never ever raise taxes for any reason. He acts like this makes him a serious person.

Also he's apparently a vaping weirdo and has been for the last several years.

He also replied seemingly in total seriousness to a weird twitter person asking him something about diapers.

Is this him being so exhausted now that he is just quitting? Or is this solely the dementia? It boggles my mind that no one in his inner circle is able to wrangle him in or tell him what needs to be done. Now even more work will need to be done to catch up on what was said when he shoots his opinion on Africa later.

He's not going to quit, he's just going to stop presidenting. It's not like anyone can force him to do either of those things.

it's theoretically possible to capture something like 20 percent of the popular vote and still with the ec lmao. what a great system. thanks slaveowners.

According to Wikipedia's source, there is a path to an EC victory with 22% of the popular vote. You'd have to completely unend the current red state/blue state situation to do it, though.

Incidentally, where does "the" Ukraine come from? Is it deliberately reductive language meant to portray Ukraine as a province of Russia or is it just archaic?

Wikipedia says that since the change from "the Ukraine" to "Ukraine" coincided with its independence in 1991, the "the" form is now associated with the Soviet era and using it implies a preference for that time.
