How bad was Donald Trump as president?

He's the only president in modern history to be denounced by his own cabinet, staff, and the joint chiefs.

That takes a special kind of skill and talent.

Remember that when you vote.

Really is a tough call.

On one hand - every Nobel prize winning economist is adamantly stating that Harris has a significantly better economic plan

But on the other hand - the dumbest people I’ve ever interacted with say Trump is a good businessman

Quite the dilemma

Dictators have an old trick to assess the strength of their opposition: they say something patently untrue, and then look to see who mindlessly repeats it. Those who do, they recognise as their true supporters - Barry Gardiner

Then vs Now :

Ġgantija (3600–2500 BC)

Ġgantija, meaning “Giantess,” is an impressive megalithic temple complex from the Neolithic period (c. 3600–2500 BC), located on the Mediterranean island of Gozo, Malta. These temples, among the earliest Megalithic Temples of Malta, predate the Egyptian pyramids.

Constructed by Neolithic inhabitants, the Ġgantija temples are over 5500 years old, making them the second oldest surviving manmade religious structures in the world, after Göbekli Tepe in modern-day Turkey. Along with other similar sites, Ġgantija is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the Megalithic Temples of Malta.

Aliabad Tower, located in the city of Aliabad in Iran, is a historical landmark dating back to the Safavid era. This brick structure is known for its cylindrical shape and stands as one of the significant architectural relics in the region. The tower is often associated with defense and lookout purposes, offering insights into the military and architectural ingenuity of the time.

The tower's design is characteristic of Persian architecture, with intricate brickwork and minimal decorative elements. Its strategic location would have made it an important site for monitoring movements in the surrounding area, possibly along trade routes or during times of conflict.

Did you know?

Sudan has more pyramids than any country in the world, even more than Egypt.

More than 200 pyramids were built in Sudan, as opposed to the 118 pyramids in all of Egypt, during the ancient reign.
