With the wind-up, let me say: geez Louise this is going shittily.

He didn't do a good job in his last term.
He didn't do a good job with his casinos, airline, steaks, university or foundation and it turns out the Trump Org is nothing but an aggregation of shell companies that launder money.

What made you think this would go even remotely as well as the first time?

I'm not OP, but will answer. It's because he is great at one thing. He's a fantastic con man.

OP here. Sort of. A lot of this is stuff that I knew he'd find appealing, but the guy says a lot of stuff that isn't true-- mexico paying for it and all that. Plus, for all his faults, I did think that he was sort of correct in his complaint that he was constantly stymied in his first term by entrenched power structures that hated him and thought he was a joke. Tbh, I still think that. The fact that a huge share of the country called themselves the Resistance-- as though they were standing up to tanks in the streets of 1968 Prague-- was sort of absurd, and I thought it was revealing that so many members of our social elite were like "yeah, that's a reasonable thing to do."

This time though it seems different. It seems like he's able to do a lot more of the stuff he said he'd do. But he's also not doing some of the better stuff he said he would. So from my vantage point, a big vibe I got from his campaign was that he would be pragmatic and approach even some Dems to high-level positions (which he did, I guess) and avoid weapon using the justice system. The hardcore small-government shtick and the EOs though all seem like he's just out for blood.

Why? This is what he said he was going to do. He is executing exactly as he campaigned on.

You’re so stupid.

I’ve never seen so many people so excited to get broke.

I agree with this: "MAGA has made loving Trump their identity. It’s hard for people to admit their entire identity was a scam."

But OP is not maga and I appreciate her speaking out that she sees it now.

MAGA has made loving Trump their identity. It’s hard for people to admit their entire identity was a scam. So they will just keep following him toward the edge of the cliff so sure that he is a genius with some amazing plan and they just have to keep following him. Until they fall off the edge of the cliff and realize there is no safety net left and he only bought parachutes for himself and his rich buddies.

Hey MAGGATs wake up! Trump hates you. It’s been repeatedly reported that he talks crap about his supporters. If you are receiving any sort of government benefit then you are a “parasite” to these people. If you think the richest man in the world is haphazardly culling government to help people like you, then you are an absolute idiot.

The rest of the world is watching you all get played and we would be laughing at you except you are dragging everyone else down with you.

You are pathetic and voted for a man who despises you. You are traitors to this country. You are dead to so many of us who see who you really are now.

These Trumpers complaining make me ill. You knew who he was.

OP, I’m genuinely curious. When he said this was what he would do, did you not believe him?

And, as expected, Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller had blamed it all on Biden

Thanks for putting out your rump and providing us with a paddle.

Don't mind if we don't take the bait.

The guy is insane and needs to be impeached.

Tell your liberal friends to stop burning Teslas and making the stock go down. Then your IRA will be fine.

Why did he impose a 10% tariff on an island inhabited solely by penguins? What's the master plan?

4D chess, man.
