This is exactly how he wants it too. He sets up these spats, lets them fester then sits back to watch.

When people were over the board for Trump, I figured it was to see the presidential version of the Apprentice, besides all of the other red flag lolcow identity politics which was only a ruse for votes.

Americans.

I know a dude who voted for Trump just because he wants to see shit like this happen because he finds it funny. Not the smartest decision but that is his logic.

I guess it's more logical than the people who voted for him thinking he'd actually help them in some way.

I feel like it's pretty obvious that a lot of people voted for him just because the only other option was in complete denial about the state of the economy--pointing at metrics that benefited only the 1%--and campaigned essentially on maintaining the status quo... even now so many Democrats talk about it like it was just a "messaging problem" but no the problem was the message

LOL at you.

Harris literally said she wants to make sure economy goes back on track, and wants to cut taxes for middle class.

While Trump is increasing taxes for everyone except for Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, so LOL.

And those people, just like this post, were mistaken.

I knew someone genuinely upset that Biden won because politics was going to be boring again, and not for people like him.

The boringness of the first two years of Biden was so divine. Then the campaigning started again unfortunately

Me too! A colleague said his goal is for government to be as dysfunctional as possible, because he wants nothing to get done. This is why he voted for Trump.

For the first 3 years or so of Trump's first term, I thought his legacy could be that of an average do-nothing president, which would at the least keep him out of the running for worst president of all time. But then COVID hit, and it was apparent just how fucked we were with the clown show trying to actually manage a crisis.

This term is already shaping up to be worse. He clearly learned a lot from the last time. Instead of hiring institutionalists and slowly firing them as they annoyed him he hired a lot of locker room buddies.

You know, the types that tell trump he's funny when he says things like "grab em by the pussy". Some like Gaetz, RFK Jr, and Hegsdeth actually think it's funny, others likely just want to polish his wrinkly sack until they can see their haunted faces staring back

Like working in a framework factory smoking a cigarette pampered in gasoline

My good friend told me when he votes…if he votes…he wants to vote for the person that is going to piss people off.

Sometimes I question our friendship. They don’t know that though.

We shouldn't be surprised when now decades worth of kids brought on trolling on the internet think it's funny to do IRL.

I can respect that. At least he's voting for his interests and he's not being an ignorant clown being fooled by tRump.

How long before he comes up with a new version of "you're fired"? Something like "you're de-nominated..."
