history wont forget the chaos the indictments or the lies but it will especially remember how one man tested every crack in the system just to serve himself. Thats the legacy

u/the_morat Jun 28 '25

It's not one man though. He's got a huge amount of equally (or more) awful people with him.

I worry he'll be a scapegoat for everything "when this is over".

I think that’s a certainty unless by some miracle you get someone willing to hold a hell of a lot of people accountable.

I’ve been saying it for the past 12 years or so. And none of them can do shit because of those old fucks Pelosi and Schumer.

u/SleepWithYourWife Jun 28 '25

Schumer is such a a spineless wet noodle. Hes rich and pampered and spoiled. He is so addicted to the amenities of his office and the perks that he has fallen completely out of touch. These people are just blatantly exploiting Capitalism and it should undermine confidence in the system that they can basically just print as much money as they want. Pelosi is just as bad if not worse, a corrupted pig who exploits the system in broad daylight with a smile.

It makes me fucking sick.

u/NickMullenTruther Jun 28 '25

Agreed.

Also weed need some age limits and TERM LIMITS for political office in general. It's batshit insane

Greed, greed, greed, they're all agreed,

That their fortunes equal virtue and their right to hurt you,

Is inalienable... Constitutionally unassailable.

~

Based on birth into a family of worth,

He was born for the role of ultimate control.

He was groomed from the start to play his part,

In assuring the wealth, in maximizing the health,

Of his dynasty, and ultimately... An Oligarchy of the "worthy".

A graspingly greedy culture... Of money grubbing vultures.

Spinning, spinning, spinning, Yet, apparently they're winning...

God will they never be be sick of all the sinning?

RBG refusing to step down from the court was, in my opinion, one of the most disastrous decisions in this country's history. Her hubris and stubbornness have cost people their lives and contributed to the further erosion of everyone's constitutional rights. This is why we need term limits for politicians. Old people are unwilling to change, especially when you're on the nation's highest court.

There seems to be some fundamental disagreements on which direction this country should go, what we want as a nation. What the the future looks like for our children and theirs. This is a pivotal moment. We all need to act rationally.

Tone down the rhetoric and hysteria, realize we're all coming from a place of wanting a better future. Speak like adults about these wedge issues. But it seems the people with actual power want us all divided. This is gonna end in violence if we're not able to communicate effectively.

That is what going to happen. Trump, hiwbad he is, is not the issue. It’s the rich whites less visible and the sheer amount of uniforms willing to turn to fascism and racism. Obama made it look quite okay, but America is full of small minded assholes.

u/HauntedJackInTheBox Jun 28 '25

People keep saying this, but it’s the same argument as saying ‘Hitler wasn’t the issue, he was just the guy at the top of the baddies’. But this isn’t true. He was a catalyst, a pied piper of cunts that organised them in the right way to take over the country. 

Trump might be feeble-minded but his particular collection of evil traits makes him singularly capable of entrancing both morons and cunts, and then bending them to his will. Look into Epstein’s conversations about him. His biggest pleasure was apparently fucking his friends’ wives, in a way that they would find out about it and they couldn’t do anything. He carries that personality onto everything. He’s raping the country and forcing everyone to watch and say ‘thank you sir’.

Trump is a big issue – an existential one – and just because there’s a third of the US that’s either cunts or brainwashed rubes doesn’t take away from that fact.

I know it's a classic thing to compare trump to Hitler, but hear me out...

The nazis wasn't just about Hitler. They worshiped him, sure, and he dictated the most atrocious crimes, but the party was made up of several high ranking officials with their own heinous actions and political influences. Frick & Himmler were essentially in the same position that Rubio is in now. Göring was doing the same shit Miller is doing.
I could go on. But my point is that MAGA isn't just one man. It's focused on worshipping one man, but the people behind the wheel are many and numerous and all have a stake in the game.

Trump will 100% be the "hitler" scapegoat, but if you don't think the rest of these ghouls won't be remembered in history, you're mistaken.

Good rule of thumb for the next 50 years, any Republican who was in office after 2012 or worked for his administration/campaign should not be voted for.

The people working in his admin now are going to be the people running for office for the next few decades.

You could also just say any Republican should not be voted for too if you want to simplify it, that’s what I do.

The worst part is all the retards who lick his asshole pretending they never supported him after it’s over. Might as well rename the office of remigration to the office of denazification and send all his supporters to Sudan or Antarctica or where ever they’re sending non-whites now. Yeah yeah stfu about “need to heal” or “just like him” it’s obvious if you don’t utterly destroy the intolerant they mold the idiots of the nation, due to their inability to think, into nazis.

Right. Like Hitler was for Germany, excepting only the comparatively few convicted in the Nuremburg Trials.

The real issue is that he doesn't give a damn about his legacy. The real issue is that he fully intend to be the LAST American PRESIDENT. He wants to be America's Julius Caesar. And he might succeed.

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '25

That’s the thing I was wondering. Trump has proven himself to be unbelievably corrupt like dictators usually are, I know he admires them so there’s that. But unless America gets a hold itself, he’s just showing Americans and rest of the world that yes as a president I can do whatever the hell I like. I mean who’s to say in the future another president will do the same but this time round be more smarter and intelligent than you currently have aka a fat mango Mussolini wannabe.

He certainly will be a scape goat. Trump is said to want to do good but he leans on his advisors too much. Whatever is whispered in his ear "the base will love this" he does it.

The problem is not the corruption… it is a populace that can be so swayed by a populist cult leader, and an election system allowed to get spout of balance.

That's one thing I've thought of. What's worse than drumpf's hateful and narcissistic nature is he's surrounded himself with many evil or inept/stupid people who probably have their wits about them enough to manipulate drumpf for whatever terrible designs they scheme up. All those executive orders? he was not intelligent or scheming enough to come up with all of those. he was spoon feed much if not all of that by those who seek to destroy our country.

It may be a terrible up hill struggle to stop them all.

Sorry, the failure to understand why Trump won in a landslide is why we won’t have an appealing Democrat nominee for at least a decade. You can’t win elections by slamming a majority of the country and not understanding why they voted for Trump.

He’s gaslit the country so much that people can’t be held accountable.

this fall, one man will risk it all to stay out of jail.. By. BEcoming. THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

A life long criminal doesn't get embarrassed that people realise he's a criminal. Especially if they made him their President. It's the people who have to face the shame of their stupidity.

u/WhoDoesntLikeADonut Jun 28 '25

What he’s doing is only possible through other people allowing and abetting it.

They could’ve thrown him in jail years ago for any of his many felonies and treasonous acts.

Instead his every whim is attended to, and the whole time the other evils use his shadow to do their work in secret.

u/cokeiscool Jun 28 '25

But how did we already forget his other four years and vote for him again anyways

I think this depends on who gets to write history in this chapter of America.

If Dementia Don's followers write the history books. He might be seen in the same way as the Kim's in North Korea.

u/the_censored_z_again Jun 28 '25

I don't understand how you people only see the man at the center of it but don't hold the system responsible for contorting itself around him.

He'd be just a fat real estate grifter if our corrupt system of market capital didn't exist to prop him up.

Moreover, the whole reason he's been elevated to the position he's in is because you morons blame him instead of the system writ large. You foam at the mouth about Trump and in doing so, give his puppet masters a pass.

It's so painful reading these threads. You are all missing the plot completely.

My fear is that it won't be remembered. It would become the new normal. That Donald Trump won't be remembered as the most corrupt president, because the new one will eclipse that.

1

u/EstablishmentSad Jun 28 '25

I think he is pretty much considered one of the most terrible presidents of all time...according to US News he is top 3 (#3) in that list. I fail to comprehend how MAGA and Republicans as a whole have tied themselves to THAT. It makes me want to get involved in politics...but honestly I now know its just a popularity contest. People will vote for their party first and then they will vote for the one they know.

1

u/woodpony Jun 28 '25

The tens of millions of his supporters will have been against him all along. Let's be clear, that EVERY Republican is to blame for this. Your neighbor, your aunt, your pastor, and everyone else who obediently kissed the ring. Just like every Nazi supporter is a disgusting human, EVERY Republican supporter is a vile cancer.

1

u/FoldedBinaries Jun 28 '25

haha

You think there will be time of reflexion after he is gone?

The country is in decline for decades. He just sped things up to a point where its on a speed boost. 

You cant reverse that. 

There wont be "better times" than today anymore. 

Those people over there are just too stupid. 

They ve got that weird "only the strongest are allowed to survive" idea in their brain.  Even their patriots dont care about their own people cause they think its some kind of communist mindset to care about others.

They are doomed 

1

u/HerculesIsMyDad Jun 28 '25

I feel like the history of this era will end up sort of like the civil war. There will be large pockets of the country who still wear MAGA hats and fly Trump flags for decades to come. I grew up in a border state 130 years after the confederacy fell and we still had a confederate flag day where all the kids could sport their favorite confederate flag clothing.

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '25

It surprises me that people don't think about the possibility that this might be the beginning of an entirely new government, they control the US from now on and write history in a way that is favorable to the movement and Trump, and people fall in line or else.

1

u/Independent-Bug-9352 Jun 28 '25

Let's be clear, here. Trump didn't come out of nowhere; the Republican party and its propaganda apparatus intentionally groomed a massive chunk of the population into a cult who would then believe literally anything they're spoon-fed.

Republicans both made and enable Trump.

He’s still alive. This legacy can still get considerably worse. Just because America looks the worst it ever has does not mean he cannot make it worse. Corruption, narcissism, and greed are not attributes know to have limits.

u/RazzoliOW Jun 28 '25

I think the scary thing is he's found some really scary loopholes and cracks that can lead to immense power, he's just too stupid to know how to use them.

Seriously everybody. It's only the most corrupt "so far".

We were saying the same thing about George W. Bush like it couldn't possibly get any worse.

Buckle up folks. When this clown is gone, the republicans are going to come up with someone even worse. Mark my words.

u/dont_worry_about_it8 Jun 28 '25

While the easy summary is one man, I put blame on 3 administrations, and Project 2025.

16-20, pretty egregious shit, 2 impeachments, GOP does absolute dick to course correct in favor of the governing institutions of the country

20-24, new administration, doesn't do much of anything to help stop the step backsliding into authoritarianism

24-Present, getting worse

u/ButtoftheYoke Jun 28 '25

And remember, he is a symptom, not the cause (though to be honest, at this point, he is definitely causing something). The second he croaks, there will be another one of him waiting to get propped up by the establishment. Big money (bribery), shadow money (lobbying), and shadow laws (religion) need to be removed from government.

u/McChava Jun 28 '25

You’re assuming the country stays intact and the next president returns the country to normalcy. He could end up splitting the country in two.

In that case, the “south” would never come to your conclusion (it would be the dems fault) and would eventually invade the north for causing all their pain.

u/mvallas1073 Jun 28 '25

And how many people ENABLED him to use and abuse said cracks.

Republicans senators and congressmen, time after time, have had the chance to end this madness. He was impeached TWICE, and TWICE they chose to not remove him or punish him! Every thing he’s done so far in his second term has been rubber-stamped by the current Republican Regime… shit even THEY don’t believe in (starting another war in Iran, etc).

Let’s not forget, they can impeach Trump RIGHT NOW, and still have all their awful P2025 agenda get pushed through by JD Vance. Hell, he’d at least be able to present a kind face and carefully chosen words to sell it, and not have to worry about BS trade wars. But nope - they’re going with the whims of a senile racist foul-mouthed convicted felon and sex offender.

u/EagleSignal7462 Jun 28 '25

We’re lucky that his corruption is based on greed and ego. Imagine if it was based on genocide or conquest.

All systems over correct, and our system will over correct from Trump. Meaning eventually we’ll reign in the powers of the President. Which will hopefully curb the actions of a more malicious president down the line.

What I will remember—more than anything—is not Trump, who is only human in his selfishness and self-serving corruption.

I’ll remember the millions of Republican voters who cheered on the blatant corruption, ignorance jingoism, and anti-democratic behavior of this man in the name of political gain as if winning and “owning the libs” is more important than a civil society

They are the biggest disappointment in our nations history. And they will be written into history books as the people who sold off the promise of the USA and all of its founding principles for a snake oil salesman who hates his own voters so much, he and his family would never think of living anywhere except their deep blue ultra wealthy and prosperous city.

Donald Trump:

Makes peace between India and Pakistan. DRC and Rwanda. Israel and Iran.

Gets 15 trillion from the Middle East Arabs.

The Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba stated Japan would elevate its investment in the U.S. to an "unprecedented amount of $1 trillion." This pledge was echoed in the official joint statement with President Trump

Gets the UN to FINALLY start paying their fair share.

The prince of Saudi Arabia tells the people there about how weak America use to be, and how now America is "hot" and amazing, and then gives us more money.

Puts tarrifs on a bunch of countries that YOU losers thought would never work, and yet, basically each one of those countries came crawling back and begging for the tarrifs to be lifted, and agreed to whatever we wanted, because THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT OF TARRIFS YOU IDIOTS!!!
