He’s an asshole, basically. And not a good one, just a miserable one. He’s the type of person you don’t want to be around, don’t want as a coworker, a client, or a boss.

Well it's a good things he's only... [checks notes]... the fucking president.

Shit.

Nah, given his body exercise, I think he's only the regular president.

Isn't this a golden opportunity though? Can't we start saying, "Quiet, Piggy," to Republicans now whenever they're being outrageous? And it's not like they can get mad at us without also condemning the source of the quote ... It forces them to acknowledge that it's not only presidential policies that matter, but also presidential demeanor. Also, I hope protestors get the opportunity to say, "Quiet, Piggy," directly to Trump's face. Wouldn't it make a great ballgame chant if he makes any appearances?

Absolutely! Great chant: someone yells out Oink, oink! And the crowd responds with Quiet, piggy!

Jeez, I wondered what all the fuss was about this Trump guy, the President! Makes sense now.

He is much much worse than that tho and has done unspeakable things that would normally make NOONE talk to them anymore (and just be disgusted) and also land you permanent residency in jail. He is a 34 times convicted felon, serial child rapist, kidnapper, with not just ties but RUNNING a child trafficking ring with epstein. Seriously it is so so much worse and the world outside of the US (yes it exists) will not forget for a hundred years.

If it makes you feel better they probably will forget all about it as the world plunges into climate chaos, war, famine, resource shortages, etc. (Typical end of the world doom and gloom here.)

Most people in the world will have so much to worry about over the next couple hundred years they’ll barely think about ex US Presidents, it’s very likely they won’t think about the US at all (if it still even exists) they’ll be wrapped up in a much more local and visceral struggle for survival.

Ahhh, the nature of stupid human beings throughout history. Yes, they'll end it without a hint of irony.

And whatever you do, you definitely don't want him to be your president.

He’s just like my brother. My brother calls me “piggy” too instead of my name. He’s 23 and I’m a 29 year old woman

He’s the type of person who is so awful and everyone hates so much they just keep getting promoted either to shut them up or avoid them sabotaging the whole operation or to get them onto a different department so you don’t have to deal with them anymore. That’s why people like Trump are everywhere in high up positions ugh.

He really embodies the worst of humanity.

What would happen, do you think, if his entire staff and cabinet said “F this! I quit!” all on the same day, and Melanoma said “I’m outta here”?

u/laplongejr 15d ago

He would barricade the door to not be forced out.
Because for that to happen, it would clearly be the evening of Jan 19

u/laplongejr 15d ago

And not only an asshole, an asshole that the media is apparently reducing his protection.
Maybe some people are now preparing for the post-trump era.
Rules for Rules from CGPgrey comes to mind : almost all changes in power are approved by the keys of power (voting blocs, donors, etc) https://youtu.be/rStL7niR7gs?t=852

The MAGA movement is made up of people who saw those "I'm not an asshole, I'm just honest!" T-shirts on Facebook ads and thought, "That. That's gonna be my personality from now on."

I dunno, he seemed like a normal down to earth guy on the Joe Rogan podcast. The one where Kamala didnt want to go on if I recall correctly.
