  I laughed at this the appropriate amount.

Trump is always projecting, it's crazy there are still people who actually support him.

He's a pervert who wants to have sex with his daughter, he's a thug who uses illegal methods in business, and tried to overthrow a democratic election.

How is this guy not in jail yet? The claim that the law is equal to all Americans is a joke.

- Republicans protect him, that's why. They know he's corrupt but they have to protect him to protect their own political careers. The Republicans that have spoken out against him haven't faired too well.

  Fared* but yeah

Nobody hates their country like a patriot.

- They're self proclaimed patriots that do everything they can to ruin their country, self proclaimed Christians that do the exact opposite of everything their religion prescribes and they claim to be "pro-life" but all their political positions are designed to get people killed. They have nothing but lies.

Well, as a former political official, he is among them. It's also a bad look to say this because the president has to work with other politicians. If you are an independent or reasonable republican, please vote against him in the primary. Vote for maybe Tim Scott or Nikki Haley or the North Dakota guy or the mayor of Miami. Off the top of my head, they seem milder in bigotry and tyranny. They still are a little bigoted and tyrannical, but not at Trump, DeSantis, or Pence's level.

58
- I think Pence torpedoed his chances saying the plight of americans was not his concern
  
  15
  
  Also the fact that the majority of people from his party wanted to hang him. Literally murder him

I thought he made America great again, did that not work out?

47
- Now he’s on Take America Back. The messaging has gone from dog whistle to a normal whistle.

As that traitorous cow was the one who helped bring this about, I would love to see him branded.

(On the rump would be sufficient for me, but don't let me get in the way of your good time.)

Fixed it. Remember every accusation is a confession with these folks.

Projection you say?

July 16th, 2023, I agree with Trump for the first time.

- I know my perspective is different due to living in Colorado. I couldn't imagine the hellscape that Florida, Texas, or Oklahoma are and I feel sorry for all those stuck in those places.

  I'm a trans woman in living Florida. I'm very scared. I can't get out. I rarely leave my home these days.

‘perverts’ and ‘thugs’

Things republicans say when they think the slurs they use in other contexts will be poorly received.

17
- They just be dropping the words "generic slur" instead of actual slurs and would be no difference in their speeches

- handled Covid so badly
  
  This isn't wrong, but is just such an understatement. He did pretty much the opposite of what he should've in every way. He handled it poorly on purpose in an attempt to hurt Democrats, and politicized it at every point to try and rile up his base. He turned what should've been a unifying crisis in this country into a chasm wide political divide we won't be healing from any time soon. The only thing he arguably did right was to push getting vaccines out as soon as possible, which he obviously only did for his own ego.

  Exactly this. He saw that COVID was hitting New York hard and decided to not do anything because New York didn't vote for him. As it hit blue states (which were more urban) hard and didn't hit rural red states as badly, he refused to use federal funds to buy needed PPE. Blue states bought their own PPE with their own money and Trump had it confiscated to be redistributed to red states. It got so bad that some states had to sneak PPE in during the middle of the night as if they were smuggling in drugs.
  
  Trump tried to hurt blue states for not voting for him. He was willing to let people die because they didn't support him politically.
  
  Given everything else he did and how presidents are given so much leeway with their actions, I doubt he'll ever be found criminally liable, but he absolutely is responsible for many, many deaths.

  His administration funded development. As for distribution, they did jack all. Biden's people came in, asked what the logistics plan was and there was none. One had to be put together at the last minute.

- He certainly made it worse but let’s stop pretending this country wasn’t completely fucked before he showed up.
  
  This country has been ran by thugs for at least a century. We are just seeing the latest version of the shit storm, which only gets worse over time.

During his administration only or all of history?

17
One of the very few things he's said that I actually agree with. Although I suspect we're not thinking of the same people.

HEARTBREAKING: The worst person you know said something based

16
Well, from 2016 to 2020, it was. So he's not that wrong.

We're a third world? Great. Let's take our weakest metrects such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure and model policies based on first world countries.

so him and his friends?

12
he's not in charge anymore, though

He sure is quite a patriot.

He gives toothy head.

Does this mean it's a "shit hole country" yet? /s

Did he forget he was the last guy in charge of it?

Edit: added sentence

9
- It was a shithole long before he came along.

Well I'll be damned.

I never thought I'd ever agree with Trump but here we are. Maybe not with the Biden thing, but certainly the rest of it.

7
If he had said this 6 years ago I'd have agreed with him.

6
- Well, there are plenty of perverts and thugs among the Republicans in Congress and the Republicans in state governments. So Trump is kind of right there.

Sounds like someone is projecting as if he's in charge aga....God forbid

5
No, you see, we got rid of the perverts and thugs in January 2021. At least from the White House. Plenty remain in Congress - especially the House.

Apparently tRump has been spending way too much time in Florida. He needs to travel more and see that many areas of the country are not like Florida.

Wait, this whole operation was his idea

I guess we actually agree on something.

He is a WASP so he would know.

- Change the P to an N for narcissist. The only being he worships is himself.
  
  He doesn't even know how to hold a Bible the right way for his own photo shoot!

Wow, I actually agree with Trump on something for once.

He’s not wrong. I don’t like him but he’s not wrong.

  He can be a hypocrite and correct at the same time. The dude sucks but this country has been going down hill for a long time. Trumpism is just one of the later reasons why this country is folding like a lawn chair. With that said even if he didn’t exist things wouldn’t be any different.
  
  What you see today is the culmination of thugs running the show for the last century. It won’t get better.

When he's right he's right
