@DougWahl1 Donald Trump has forfeited the presumption of respect that ordinarily comes with the Office. He’s a pathological sociopath and doesn’t deserve an invitation to anything more honorable than the naming of a garbage dump in his “honor.”
@Hot_Pepper76 Barack Obama. My former boss introduced me to him in 2003 when they were colleagues in the Illinois Senate. He was every bit as affable and pleasant as you would expect. It’s a memory I will forever cherish.
@td_nash Well, I was a shared Cardinals season ticket holder for the majority of his career. And I was in the park for 1985 NLCS Game 5. So it’s gotta’ be the Wizard of Oz.
Trump is a seriously mentally ill malignant narcissist who is also a pedophile
and a misogynist at the same time
he hates women which is why he has attacked or attempted to attack so many and which is also why he is much more comfortable raping children because they don't have the capacity to fight back
or judge his performance the way an adult does
and the last place he belongs is in any position of power because he is going to take out his feelings of an adequacy on the rest of the world which he has been doing now for years in both terms of his squatting in the White House between ordering armed killers to shoot people in the street to invading other countries for no reason other than to make himself feel and appear powerful
Trump really is a modern day Caligula
@AlTheBoss03 That’s a tough one. I saw Lou Brock get his 3000th hit. I saw Willie McGee hit for the cycle. I saw Ozzie Smith’s walkoff HR in Game 5 of the 1985 NLCS. I saw David Freese’s heroics in World Series Game 6 in 2011.
Today is Donald Trump’s 80th birthday, representing eight decades of a man who has done more than anyone to hurt the West, elevate its enemies, and trap us in a post-truth nightmare.
While he is certainly a symptom of a deeper political illness, he has actively made things much worse.
Let us be clear that there is nothing to celebrate today, because Trump is the most traitorous, deeply corrupt, and overall worst president in the history of the US. He is a compromised, horrible human being who has lost the respect of anyone with half a brain. His deep ties as a best friend to Jeffrey Epstein prove he knew exactly what was going on behind closed doors. He is the lowest of the low.
He has spent years threatening American allies, appeasing foreign enemies, and losing the reckless trade wars he started.
His leadership has left Americans poorer, more stupid, more polarized, and trapped inside a decadent, ever more authoritarian joke of an administration that hurts the whole world.
He is a traitor. His alignment with autocracy is clear in how he sides with Russia over Ukraine and China over Taiwan. He even systematically undermined domestic safety by installing a Russian asset as the Director of National Intelligence and an anti-science, anti-vaxx Russian asset as Health Secretary. No one is better than Trump at sabotaging the US.
The only bright side to his birthday is that he is old, ensuring he will not be able to stay in power forever. He will never be missed by anyone with a brain and/or a heart, and if I believed in hell, I would seriously doubt it is bad enough for him
