Believe me, there will be monuments to Trump. Like being listed with Benedict Arnold and the Rosenbergs as one of the biggest traitors in American history.

Should have went with a pyramid; at least it has a function too(m). /s
What a peek behind the curtain. He feels alone and unloved. He has the most rabid fans and people flattering him constantly and he feels none of it. I'd pity him if I didn't loathe him so much.
Probably because none of his family likes him and he doesn’t really like them. And now he’s dying.
Is he going to have maga at his bedside? He’s going to die alone and the moment he’s dead everyone is going to turn on him.
The only reason anyone will be around his bedside is for photo ops and to be the first to release the news to the press, and with the desperate hope that they will be able to seize some measure of the power he leaves behind.
(Hot tip: they won't, it will be massively destructive to the entire GOP and the conservative movement broadly, as without Trump his political capital, the warband of crazy maga orcs, will disperse and splinter into a thousand little shards of anger and aimless hate.)
I’ve been a salesmen in some fashion my entire life.
Trump is a salesman, not the best, not the smartest… but that has always been his game. He’s selling the idea of himself and he sold it to nearly half the population of the country.
The idea… of who he is… trump…
No one can walk in and take a shred of that power. Not even his kids with the trump name.
He sold the idea of himself and that’s what people bought. They aren’t going to say “and now jd Vance!”
I have no doubt maga will rally behind another but I don’t think anyone can predict who. And it will just be what’s left of the die hard cultist not the Republican Party itself.
The power dissolves when trump goes away.
They support him. That’s the product they bought.
100%, they are trying soooo very hard to find bottled lightning again for a repackaging, but Trump's actual political capital, the base of armed nationalists, they hate politicians. They hate "fake" people.
And you can say what you want about Trump's honesty, but he's not "fake." He's genuinely a despicable, deplorable old sack of hate, and people, particularly dumb ones, are so desperate for something "real" that he makes them feel good. They are not going to get people to feel good about some career schlub like Vance or anyone else.
Honestly, the only person who had a remote chance of rallying the right back under one war-banner was Charlie Kirk, the right was grooming the fuuuuck out of him to be the next huge media darling, and he actually could have led a sizeable contingent of the midwest christian whites who are scared of anything with seasoning.
Anyone can be sucked into a cult.
Racism is a sign low intelligence.
Intelligent people can be tricked and walked down a road into crazy.
I’ve tried to save so of my friends from q- anon. “You want adrenichrome? I can buy it for you online right now, ship it to your door! No one is harvesting children for it, it’s widely available and doesn’t make you immortal!!!”
I’ve seen smart people devolve. That’s the real shame. Stupid people do stupid things. Trump made a lot of smart people stupid as well. Which isn’t good for anyone.

Oh people like him live the saddest lives imaginable. I personally know a narcissist nwith psychopathic tendencies and he actually acts a lot like trump, the midnight rants on how the world has wronged him, the weird "I cannot name a single person without immediately adding some judgement to it" like "Tom who is the greatest architect ever" and "Susan, that bitch"
He loves spending time and money on making others miserable, family included. Everything is a transaction, the guy knows no love, and gets none.
He controls his kids with money, sort of, but since the kids loathe him and can't wait to be independent and away from him, he'll lose them soon anyways. He always claims he is loved by hundreds even though nobody can stand being around him. His friends are bought as in these are people that are around whom because he pays them.
He has a clothes guy that sells him overpriced clothes, and he calls the guy a friend. The guy's literally around him only because he continuesly buys new clothes, multiple times per week
Nobody really knows how much money he has, he always claims everything is too expensive, and he constantly reminds everyone including his children on how much money he's spending on everyone and it's literally also the only one thing he has to give, the only thing he's good for: money. That is also what he'll be reminded for: money.
The life is legit sad and I'd feel bad for him if he wasnt such a giant asshole all the time to everyone. Fuck this asshole

LOL. No matter what happens in American politics, one thing is assured: when Trump is gone, and there's no longer any benefit to covering up his many crimes, he will be remembered as one of the worst people in history.
Didn't work for Ronnie Raygun. I'm still seeing stuff named after that asshole. Up until at least W, he was easily the worst president in living memory anyway.
I don't believe in the "great man" theory of history, but an awful lot of bullshit does seem to line up with that one guy
The conservative wrecking ball that led to where we are now really starting swinging under Ronnie Raygun. Of course, it wasn't just due to him, but those around him.
He also had the most criminal administration, going by the number of criminal indictments in his admin. We'll see where Taco lands, I guess.

I like the idea of a Trump statue as the Saddam Hussein statue news was very compelling when seeing it being toppled by it's citizens.
And just like Saddam's statue I hope a load of people descend on it to hit it with shoes.
I hope everything gets reversed when he’s gone. The illegal renaming of the Kennedy center, the ballroom, the gold refinishing of everything, the departments, “supreme court”, etc, etc. I just wish they had enough balls to stop them from doing illegal sh before they did it.
Reagan's bullshit wasn't reversed under Clinton. Bush's bullshit wasn't reversed under Obama. Trump's first-term bullshit wasn't reversed under Biden. America just keeps going further and further down the toilet. The only option for the rest of humanity is to keep America's collapse contained.

They don't even have the balls to fix it after he's gone!! You had four fucking years to address the massive failures of rule of law baked right into your country and "y'all" did fucking NOTHING.
Nah they’ll rename it. They won’t fix anything substantial. But a rename, that’s easily within their wheelhouse.

Instead of being President he is busy building monuments to himself. Garbage administration.
What has he ever done that shows he has any desire (or ability) to lead?

Well, I'll be damned. He actually got something right.
He's also right about the fact that smart people don't like him and about the fact that he shouldn't be president if he's not as talented as Jimmy Kimmel

I highly doubt it's finished at the end of his term.
It might not be a pile of rubble, but if there's anything there it's going to be flimsy cardboard not up to code and needs to be torn down anyways.

He's not being self aware at all, he's just whining. It's a justification for a decision he's already made.
"We have to do it because nobody else will". That's probably the same logic he used to put his name on the Kennedy Center, or his picture on all of his buildings. Doesn't he want to put his face on a quarter? And Mt Rushmore? Seems to me we're being forced to memorialize him everywhere.

I really hope it gets torn down within the next 3 administrations. That area of the lawn would be a pretty nice location for a sort of Garden. Perhaps a memorial garden dedicated to Obama or something.
I never seen a President so obsessed with himself than Trump.
I'm pretty sure there are plenty of us who will build a monument to him. A monumental shit on his grave.
If I knew where reagans grave was, I'd load up on fiber and spaghetti. I want it forcefully expelled from my bowels as an almost liquid consistancy. I want to spray it, so you can't really remove it. I want to power wash his grave with my butt juice.

Frankly, I’m incredulous. I simply don’t believe that Donald Trump is capable of being that self-aware.
Destroyed with next admin.
If only the DNC would nominate someone with the cajones to say that as a campaign promise.
If Trump gets to spend a year on a revenge tour, why can't we have someone go on a justice tour to clean up all the wrongs Trump has wrought?
