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

    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.

        I am going to give it >%10 chance given how he made AI videos of Obama being arrested lol. Look at how Obama is a naturally charismatic speaker, everything Trump wants to be but can’t. So he tries to make up for his negative skills in this domain by throwing money at it and flaunting his horribly unjustified self confidence.

          Yeah, I disagree with Obama on a whole lot of things, but the man has natural charm. If I had to have a beer with any of the US presidents and I could choose which one, it’d be Obama. Now if you expanded that to include people who ran for president, but got fucked in the primaries, it’d be Bernie of course.

        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…

    I’m gonna be real here, if a president I liked did something like that to trump I’d find it funny. This is part of his massive campaign against his enemies and such but it’s just the kind of petty and insane that I would expect from a Larry David meets veep version of west wing

      I respectfully disagree. I want a president that acts like an adult, takes things seriously, and respects America.

    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
