Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[Bishop Thumpety-Thump]

I haven't been openly homophobic, my sad little lamb. Nor do you own the forum.

I find this desire to try to control the forum and to remove anyone you perceive as a political rival really weird. For someone that really likes diversity, you sure can't tolerate a diversity of opinion ...

Leaving that weird little gap at the end of your misused ellipses is also what Captain Badtake does.

Funny how the mask slips once you get triggered.

Trump with one of the great political social media posts of all time. The guy is magnificent as a politician and commentator, simply magnificent. He garners a lot of attention in this post by saying something slightly controversial, gets brownie points from Kim Jong Un, and at the same time implies to the world that the WHO is a scam. All with five simple words. You can't teach this stuff to us mortals. He is so good at social media even twitter had to ban him.

God I didn't realise Evertonians were so gullible.

Quoting the BBC and CNN in 2023?

Do your own research like he does.... on Facebook

That may or may not be intentional. The spelling mistake gets the post even more attention. Most politicians would delete or edit the post.

4D chess. The guy’s a genius.

Agreed, or at least a genius campaigner/politician. A mediocre President first time around. Though admittedly he did have almost the entire political, media and intelligence service establishments against him at every turn.

He's a poor quality politician who happens to be extremely good at marketing. The best historical comparisons are P.T. Barnum, Pulitzer and Hearst, who all managed to get elected to relatively minor offices for short tenures (up to and including the House). As politics became more marketing and less bargaining, as a result of both the increased importance of campaign contributions and the emergence of social media, a space for someone like Trump emerged.

As famous as all three of those historical figures are, I would argue that all of them left behind a rather superficial legacy.

That’s right. Fox News, OAN, The Washington Post, Breitbart, and a swathe of alternative media were ruthless in their forensic examination of his presidential decision making.

‘Make America great again’ was a very clever campaign slogan.

Really learn a lot on these pages.

He knew what his audience wanted, and how to dog whistle.

Maybe, but it's utterly impossible to compare Trump's legacy to those three. We're only half way through the show. Even after he's gone it'll take a decade or three to comprehend his achievements(or lack thereof). It took that long to appreciate Barry Goldwater's influence. Trump's already altered the media landscape(probably for the worse imo), he's seriously undermined two major news networks, and partly as a result of Trump trust in many American institutions is near an all time low.
