This twat has genuinely asked the governor of South Dakota to consider carving his likeness into Mount Rushmore.

 

[BillyDee]

He's now claiming that that is "fAkE nEwS", but then goes on to suggest that, actually, it's not such a bad idea...

 

[Tony Towner]

This is what he does well, his team deliberately leaks something to the NYT or CNN who fall for it every time and it leads the news agenada for a day or so

Watch out for the CEO of USPS. Massive trump supporter and has banned overtime and is shutting down post boxes to ensure the postal vote is suppressed. Trump is such a vote rigging wanker.

Got admire Trump's ability to get his message message across on how everything is China's fault and he is ace, no matter what the situation

Your brother has died. Horrible news Mr President, are you ok? "Well my brother was angry at China for allowing this plague, very angry. He was also my biggest fan, no jealousy at all and he loved my work. I would meet people who knew him and they would tell me how excited he is to see his brother doing such a fantastic job"

A perfectly legitimate argument:

[Pablowolf]

You know, that article makes a lot of sense.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hmm. Not really. It says it took a Really MASSIVE cunt in the White House for America to spot all the other cuntery. It’s epic whataboutery blaming Trumps shitness on Clinton and by extension Obama and co.

It’s bollocks.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Obviously Fox etc spun things to be much worse under Obama than they really were, but at the same time there have to be reasons why Republican voters chose trump over the original favourite - Jeb Bush. A lot of voters did feel marginalised by the system. They tried to say so at the time, but their voices were ignored by us 'elites'.
Then supposing HRC had won the Presidency, what would we have had? Four years of a Republican House and Senate carrying out investigations into Benghazi and her emails, and a complete impasse when it came to actual government. More frustration would have led to a greater probability of an outsider (from either party) winning this time round. And the republican candidate would not be trump but an actual leader, someone even more determined to destroy democracy, and much more capable with it. trump has undoubtedly been the worst President ever, but at least he has been incompetent. The country has had the chance to see what he is trying to do, to vote him out before he succeeds. and to return to the values of a liberal democracy.
It is perfectly valid to argue that he has been a necessary evil.

The US hasn't lived out the values of "liberal democracy" since before Reagan.

We live in an oligarchy and have done for nearly 40 years. That isn't going to change without something radical, and it certainly won't change because of a president. Reaganomics pushed this country past the point of no return.

Trump is awful, but he's not worse than the man who sat in office from 1981 to 1989.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Reagan may have been many things (including a real life Weekend at Bernie's man for a while) but he never bragged about committing sexual assault and I don't think he was literally a racist either. So I'm going to say no.

Although I'd probably agree that Trump's legacy won't touch Reagan's. As in there'll hardly be one.

 

[Alan]

Trump is probably a worse human than Reagan, I'll give you that. But worse president? Not a chance, IMO.

Reagan may or may not have been personally racist, but he spearheaded and championed a number of ludicrously racist policies.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Reagan and Thatcher were 2 of the most evil people of the 20th century. The world is a much poorer place because of them.

But at least Reagan was a leader. trump is a manager - and a totally selfish one at that.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Trump isn’t even a manager. He manages nothing but his twitter feed while raging at Fox News when he can be arsed at getting out of bed.

Reagan was poor, and clearly thick and gaffe prone. But he didn’t tear gas his own people for a photo. Or indeed refer to the democratic VP selection as nasty while wishing Ghislaine “have a fifteen year old to fuck” Maxwell well.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

By 'manager' I meant he's a boss. You do as he says or get fired. He has no understanding of pros and cons, or that anyone else can be knowledgeable. Really he's just a bully.
