Molested some kids, whipped a rape baby into a lake, killed political decorum, incited race riots, fed global bigotry, killed millions or billions across the next decade with program cuts, created another forever war, permanently set back US education by 10+ years, fractured US hegemony to issue in the neoUSSR.

I’m just pissed off that his kids will inevitably be elected by idiots in the next few years. Really makes you want to set everything on fire.

Or anything not already on fire.

They don't tell you. THIS is the real reason for global warming. Everything is on fire. Fire is hot.

I'm over here hoping he doesnt take that as an insult and start a land invasion of China. Jfc. If we can't keep idiots like this from calling the shots, maybe we've just discovered the great filter that explains the drake equation.

Or it could go like in David Wingrove's Chung Kuo novels, and China takes over the world. A few hundred years from now, after having destroyed all culture, landmarks and languages, all on the planet are called Han Chinese.

They are taught that long ago during the Roman times China took over the planet. Mass lied to basically, so that there is no rebellion or knowledge of different times. It's really cool, and 8 books or so, very scifi.

None of his kids have what it takes to be a cult leader. They won't be running the GOP.

Trump sprays his face with bronzer daily, has hair that looks like a wig, insulted the military, and bankrupted multiple foolproof businesses. He didn’t have what it takes to be a cult leader. I discount nothing, and I advise you to do the same.

Mark my words. 20 years from now, nostalgic voters in the confederated states of AI, between mortar attacks against the republic of cascadia, will vote for someone with the trump last name. It will be stupid, and your disappointment will be tempered only by the radiation damage eating away at your mind.

They were turned around the first time they tried but sounds like something got worked out.

There's a lot to fault the Chinese government for, but at least they know how diplomacy works.
