Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

truly, we must treat Donald Trump with the dignity he deserves

finding the nicknames stupid has nothing to do with dignity

flappy bird otm. The cute albeit belittling nicknames make me cringe. It acknowledges this level of familiarity that I deeply wish I didn’t have.

This is a good use of our time

i usually call him "our president"

guys this is a stupid argument I didn't mean for it to be taken with deathly seriousness. glad to see everyone in usual formation, though

We need more discourse

when they invent the profanity strong enough to describe how i feel about president trump i'll use it. until then i'll stick with "president trump" or "the president of the united states".

yeah

I googled "Donald Butt" and was directed to a deviantart page that's mostly screencaps of Donald Duck's ass

<3

^said ass

we could spit on the ground like the romanians in that doubtlessly historically accurate snl sketch

scoops²

donnie two scoops isn’t a playground nickname. it’s a two bit gangster nickname, which is why it’s so appropriate.

and i usually don’t refer to him by anything except the president (i try to not use his name because of the unpleasant way it thuds into a conversation). but of all the nicknames out there (many of which are bad) the one that sounds like it would be hissed over an illegal card game is most fitting.

I am sad that there already are a bunch of Donald Dumptrucks out there.

dud

i call him "2 scoops". game of cards indeed. fuck the trumps -- granddad ran a brothel, dad was arrested at a KKK rally (and not for protesting!), 2 scoops and 2 scoops senior were fined for racist housing policy, and the guy inherited $200,000,000 but talks like a drunk bigot even though he's sober and "president". and that's his appeal!

It's funny to remember that people on this board used to make fun of dr morbius for saying like "shillary clintDUMB" and now everybody does that shit

You forgot his kids, qualms. Anybody follow the blow-up over Ivanka having Jose Andres kicked out of a restaurant this weekend?

fuck the trumps

Tiffany's okay

Oh well here’s the latest. Fucking Georgetown

(cafe milano is apparently a well known safe space for Republicans in DC)

Tiffany's okay

second-least-worst behind barron maybe but i dunno if i'd stretch to 'okay'

2 scoops junior and i'm eric will take lil' barron elephant trunk hunting soon enough, america. rest assured :)

Jose Andres is a mf'ing treasure.

xp yeah the odds are not great on Barron shaking out to be a decent human being. That's a pretty rough lineage, he'd have to be radicalized out of it.

where's the symbionese liberation army when you need 'em

I believe in Barron. He doesn’t seem that “into” being a Trump and is much closer to his mom than his dad by all reports.

^barron knight

one of my closest friends for many years was the daughter of a well-connected senior republican politician and she disagreed with just about every single thing he did so

used to make fun of dr morbius for saying like

we always knew he was deranged, now we're just seeing when everyone loses their collective good sense under the pressure of political frustration

i for one am keenly anticipating the reign of the boy-king barron from 2019-apocalypse (exact date tbc)

I have probably said this before, but my childhood was replete with political spawn. Strom Thurmond's daughter was a classmate of mine, the Cheney girls were schoolmates, we were distantly aware of Tucker Quayle and the Scalia kids, yadda yadda.

Personally I would rather not speculate on them until they actually enter the arena of their own volition (as the Cheneys did and as Ivanka has done).

I remain confused about this characterization of Melania Trump—that she's some beacon of goodness, must surely be decent because her husband is such an ogre. Is there something about her that leads people to believe this? She seems terrible.

i suspect it's because melania cuts a pretty depressed figure as first lady, so she looks like we feel

mind you she married trump in the first place so i dunno how much sympathy she deserves

Maybe she's depressed because her values are fucked up and she made some terrible choices in life. Fuck her for being complicit.

I've never understood the logic either. She could divorce him and upend his whole shit if she wanted to and she'd have a ton of support from all kinds of corners, but there's no real indication she actually wants to mess with anything. xp

Like, you don't have to marry the American because he has a helicopter. It's not like he rescued her from some miserable life.

it mainly strikes me as another hopeful but baseless fantasy of #resistance that people cling to tbh, unless there's some actual substantive statements of hers I've missed

honoring trump with any kind of nickname is ridiculous, you're just entering into his own game. it's silly but it's also exactly what he loves doing with anyone he doesn't like

You guys should read this important piece from the progressive newspaper called the New York Times: The Quiet Radicalism of Melania Trump

the resistance is coming from inside the white house: the first term of melania trump

She is terrible. I don’t know how anyone could spend time with trump and then marry him. Fucking gross.

The reason a lot of people try to spin her as a good person trapped in a hellhole is because the reality of trump is so far apart from our own lives that they resemble tv show characters more than real people. A tv show needs at least one sympathetic character for the audience to identify with, somewhere, and she’s the least worst option.

lord almighty that ny times piece

the quiet radicalism of doing absolutely nothing

makes u think

xpost lol yeah I read yet the other day. Classic clickbait title! She is a radical because she hates her husband so much and refuses to use her position to help people or take up some sort of cause that she believes in.

none of the trumps are worth a shit. people are making the mistake of thinking that because maybe the trump marriage isn't great, that means she actually gives a fuck about the people his policies are affecting. i would say the chances of that are pretty low.

She sees the opportunity as First Lady to try to make sure that at least ONE good thing happen during her family’s time in power, and she radically says “no”
