Just have to stop and laugh out loud in awe at the magnitude of his legacy

[Laura PourMeADrink]

As president;

1) You directly and indirectly caused HALF A MILLION Americans to die

2) You broke records for job loss and national debt

3) You were impeached twice, first time in history.

4) You tried to bribe a foreign government for personal gain.

5) You encouraged violent followers to invade the halls of Congress to stop the vote finalization. Five died

6). You lost the House for your party.

7). You lost the Senate for your party

8). You lost the WH for your party.

[lagomorph777]

1. And his party still worships him!

[Irish_Dem]

3. This is the really scary part. The evil monster is adored by many.

[Magoo48]

47. Yup, and we can't repair stupid; we can educate the ignorant who aren't willfully so,

but stupid is what it is and is easily manipulated and most often to the right.

[Irish_Dem]

59. That is why we need to put money into early childhood and junior college education.

[Magoo48]

62. Indeed

[Dorian Gray]

79. They do...

but I also think that it's lessening. Without daily twitter nonsense and constant news coverage, people are forgetting.....

[RainCaster]

2. 9). First POTUS to lose Twitter privileges for a lifetime.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

5. And think this is actually a huge thing... Cutting off his ability

to communicate out. He surely took advantage of the platform. Probably, as a narcissist, infuriates him the most.

[LakeArenal]

4. You caged innocent children.

You spearheaded an insurrection.

You deregulated the EPA.

You practice treasons, chaos, tribalism, philandering, sexual assault.

You pushed climate disasters by making oil leases, and targeted alternate energy sources.

You practice nepotism.

You are not a real Republican.

You desecrated the American flag.

And let’s face it, you are one ugly mothereffer. Inside and out.
Oh stupid too.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. Yes, yes, yes. Just picking one out, nepotism. It was blatant with

total disregard for any norms.

Lots points back to his total and utter shut down of answering to the press/the people. The day he stopped normal, accessible press conferences. The day he pulled press passes for the best questioners. In the past, presidents felt obligated to answer for their behaviors.

[PatSeg]

26. And practically destroyed the Postal Service

Unfortunately the list is endless.

[LakeArenal]

40. Yep. But it's interesting to see the list grow.

[PatSeg]

53. And I think there is still a whole lot

that we don't even know yet. I think we will be uncovering scandals for a long time to come. It is amazing how much damage one person can cause in just four years.

[LakeArenal]

55. I forgot: He shoplifted Lincoln's bust and other items from the WH.

[PatSeg]

57. He is such a perpetual destructive force

and he had 24 hours a day to wreak havoc. I think he might even see it as some kind of perverse challenge, like a cartoon villain. "What can I do today to cause chaos and pain to as many people as possible?" Such a hateful human being.

[LakeArenal]

58. Totally agree until the last two words.

Just have to put my foot down. Sorry PatSeg. Usually right there with you.

[PatSeg]

66. Good point

He does seem to be another species entirely.

[True Blue American]

92. Had pictures of Clinton and Bush removed. Refused to allow Obama picture put up.

Returned to their rightful place now.

Hmmm? Wonder if Biden refused Trump portrait?

[PatSeg]

93. He is likely the pettiest president

we've ever had. He not only holds grudges, he does it in childish and often destructive ways. If someone rubs him the wrong way, he doesn't just ridicule them, he tries to destroy them. I think he may even look for an excuse to do so, because he enjoys the destruction part so much. I can picture him waking up and looking for someone to attack and destroy. He thrives on the hate and drama, its like a drug for him.

[dmr]

78. WHAT?!? He stole Lincoln's bust?

Seriously? That wasn't his to take. It belongs to all of us.

He took other items, as well?

I don't mean to sound surprised, because I'm not, but really, when stealing, you're suppose to do it quietly. No one's suppose to know.

I wonder what else he, and his clan of thieves took. Geeezzz ....

[LakeArenal]

80. These are things we can see. Imagine what we didn't see.

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/01/15/politics/white-house-move-lincoln-bust-pheasant/index.html

[Laura PourMeADrink]

85. Wow... This is a HUGE story I missed. Thanks for posting. JHC

Sounds like downright theft to me. I would think that a bronze Lincoln bust would be worth many thousands of dollars. Arrest the MFs, both of them.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

86. Remember he called the WH a dump. Guess it grew in him

[bearssoapbox]

82. The rat bastard took it so he can brag.

"Yes, President Lincoln gave this to me in appreciation for my idea of shutting down and destroying the airports and bases in The Civil War.

[jaxexpat]

64. Has anyone mentioned the fact that we are the butt of international jokes?

In every language derisive laughter sounds about the same.

[PatSeg]

67. Yes and great concern as well

We are an important force in the world and if we fall, it destabilizes the entire planet.

[catbyte]

6. 9) Turned the U.S. into a planetary laughingstock

Good list. At least he was consistent. He's run every business he's ever had into the ground. How the heck do you bankrupt a casino?!? The tragedy is that so many people actually lost their lives instead of just money this time.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. And even if you try to be fair, and say, here are some things he

accomplished which you usually can even for politicians you dislike, there is nothing there! Only thing I heard a republican say was "he moved the Jewish capitol."

[rgbecker]

7. You ran twice for President, never released your Tax Returns.

You promised a great new health coverage plan every year but never once presented it.

You promised a huge infrastructure plan, yet never presented it.

Your rally slogan was "Promises Made, Promises kept."

You ran for President twice and lost the popular vote by 3 Million in 2016 and 7 Million in 2020.

MAGA!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. Man,. Probably a list of hundreds of horrors huh. One related thing

I remember clearly that the press seemed to ignore. He took credit for big tax cut. BUT HE never actually produced a plan. Like you said, no healthcare or infrastructure plan. He said he had a super duper tax plan. He never produced that either. Rep's kept asking. They ended up creating the plan. ( Or going to the file cabinet under "tax plans that help the rich" ).

[LakeArenal]

44. You will get it in two weeks.

[RainCaster]

8. 10). Lost the popular vote. Twice.

Such a whiny little loser.

[Skittles]

73. THIS

should definitely be in the list!

[Baitball Blogger]

10. And now he's trying to siphon off donations to the Republican Party.

Most extraordinary con-man in American history.

[LakeArenal]

11. Conman? Or treasonous collaborator.

[niyad]

31. Both.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. +1

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. Have you seen the Netflix 4 part documentary on trump? Goes

way back when he first started. Said he was the best self-promoter that they had ever known!

His first foray into Manhattan to renovate an old hotel. He talked the city council into giving him a 40 year tax abatement!!

[BSdetect]

13. Lost case with Trump University, numerous bankruptcies

[kairos12]

14. Legitimized the NK thug regime

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. Yes .. and in bed with Russia and Saudi Arabia

[Botany]

17. few more

Was installed into the White House by Russia

An active agent for Russia

In debt by at least 1 billion $s to Russia, China, & Russia

Had his son in law, Jared Kushner, help set up the murder of journalist Khashoggi by Saudi Arabia

Helped in covering up the murder of Khashoggi and in doing so became compromised to Turkey's
Erdogan so he let Erdogan slaughter our allies the Kurds

Fired the leadership for US cyber security 2xs after which Russia hacked our cyber networks

Tried to make money off of the C-19 Pandemic by investing in Huydroxycholoroquine and his own brand
of C-19 test kits

Tried to rig the 2020 Presidential election but still lost

Pardoned a bunch of crooks

Wears adult diapers, lifts in his shoes, and spray on tan

Cheats @ golf

I have to stop.

[AZ8theist]

23. Points #1 and #2...

Cost how many American spies THEIR LIVES??????

[Botany]

27. Trump sold out an Isreali agent who was inside of ISIs in Syria @ this Oval Office visit in 2017

:large

[AZ8theist]

87. Fucking asshole thought he was a big shot...

I know stuff!! I'm the presnit!! I'm REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT!!

Fucking imbecile didn't know the rest of the planet was laughing at him.....cost people their lives.

[FSogol]

28. Ignored Russia paying bounties on the killing of US soldiers. n/t

[patricia92243]

18. Lost the popular vote twice.

[mahannah]

19. Nothing to laugh at here.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

52. Agree! Couldn't think of a word instead of laugh. But it's that

Gutteral sound you make at something so immensely ludicrous and insane and unbelievable ( that he would even consider running again)

[twodogsbarking]

20. Media lies.

Fake news.
Melanie likes me.

[PatSeg]

29. Ha, ha! Not hardly

Maybe in his dreams. No one actually "likes" Donald Trump. What's to like?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. You reminded me.. "You have a wife who used Christmas and the F word in same sentence" nt

[monkeyman1]

21. been during ww-2 , would have been hung for treason !!

[BobTheSubgenius]

22. A couple of things could be added to that list, re foreign relations.

Made even some close allies suspicious and managed to sow some ill will among them. Of course, governments in that category couldn't afford to indulge their sentiments publicly...and all of them have more class than to do that, anyway. Unlike some pResidents I could name.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. So true!!! And on a lighter note, in the same realm, let's not forget this fashion crime

[LakeArenal]

54. The body language.

The Peacock and a Queen.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

60. Yes!

[bucolic_frolic]

24. MAGA awe

if anyone ever told you this could happen you wouldn't believe it. He's still not being tied to the inverse reality he created for his own gain, selling out America for personal gain while telling you it would improve the country.

It's a very business like concept, that. You know, they "IMPROVE" products all the time, but that almost always means making it better for them, meaning more profitable - cheaper ingredients. Consumers have no choice. Many are fooled. It's all a con game.

MAGA was Business School boilerplate.

[FSogol]

25. Kudos on making the Teapot Dome Scandal, Watergate, and Iran Contra look like amateurs. n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

41. Yes, and my #1 listed in OP would be a total hard stop for

any other human being! Jeez, did Howard not run again for saying HeeeeHawww!?

Just talking about his unmitigated gall to even consider running again. How it demonstrates how grossly mentally ill he is.

[aggiesal]

30. And he's the only pResident in U.S. history to ...

lose 2 elections by popular vote.

[Dreampuff]

34. And the only u.s. president

To amass and lead a cult.

[ariadne0614]

37. Thom Hartmann just cited this OP on his show. n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

39. No way! Cool

[ariadne0614]

42. Yup, he credited Laura PourMeADrink. n/t

[LakeArenal]

68. What did he say about it?

[ariadne0614]

69. If memory serves, he used it to amplify a larger point he was making. n/t

[Laura PourMeADrink]

90. Yes... Why are Republicans hitching their wagon to trump if he's been such a loser.

[czarjak]

38. Chosen One, though?

[LiberalLovinLug]

43. According to studies, about 40% of the deaths were preventable

IF Donald Trump had acted early and competently and listened to health experts.

So instead of saying Trump directly or indirectly, caused half a million deaths, which makes it vague, and invites Trumpsters to come back with...It was the virus that killed them not Trump!!!

I usually put it as .....Trump is personally responsible for over 200,000 of those American deaths in one year due to his incompetence and ambition.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

48. Good points. And I do think there's a differentiation. But

Still think all deaths point back to him

The first group who got it and died ( my dad) were completely in the blind. Trump, on Woodward tape, admitted he kept the fact that it was deadly and airborne.

Then, there's the ones who believed him that it was a hoax and sissy to wear a mask.

Then, later as it spread more, families in tight quarters who had to go out and work got it and many died because if trump's lack of preparedness and assistance.

Who's left?

[LiberalLovinLug]

50. I'm just going by a Lancet commission tasked with assessing Donald Trump's health policy record

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/feb/10/us-coronavirus-response-donald-trump-health-policy

The US could have averted 40% of the deaths from Covid-19, had the country’s death rates corresponded with the rates in other high-income G7 countries, according to a Lancet commission tasked with assessing Donald Trump’s health policy record.

Because I imagine that even if Hillary were in charge, and even if she was as diligent as other western nations, like in Canada, who have had roughly half as many deaths per capita, there would still have been a lot of deaths. (And the GOP would be making a stink about it no matter how much work she did on it)

[Laura PourMeADrink]

91. Thanks for sharing. Makes sense. We would never be

as conscientious as say Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Australia, New Zealand, no matter who was president.

[Calista241]

45. However, he did:

1. put 3 new Justices on the Supreme Court
2. put 234 judges on various courts in the Federal system
3. teach people that putting on your own makeup in TV roles is not smart
4. have the worst male hairdo on tv 1,461 days in a row.

In all seriousness, the judges and Supreme Court thing cannot be overlooked. They are going to dominate our politics for the next 50 years. All because Hillary Clinton had a private email server.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

49. Guess if you are of the same ideological ilk this might

be considered an accomplishment. But to him, likely more about how he can be allowed to expand wealth and power not caring a flip about religion or abortion laws.

[Calista241]

51. Changing tax laws is easy to do if you have the political will to do so.

They passed the tax cuts via reconciliation, and there's nothing to stop us from undoing them in the same manner. The judges and justices though, they will be there until they die or retire.

[DanieRains]

46. And Turned The Republican Party From Bad And Evil To Simply Pathetic Nut Jobs

And then some.

[LakeArenal]

56. A party of poopy pants to a party of treason and poopy pants.

[Hamlette]

61. about as good as his record before he took office: business failures and bankruptcies.

the only thing he succeeded in his whole life is playing a clown on reality TV.

Not a legacy worth leaving.

[malaise]

63. Great post

Effin' loser! - should change the name from Apprentice to Biggest Loser EVER

[Martin68]

65. I'm not laughing.

[DeSmet]

70. Single handedly destroyed....

the Republican Party. OK well there is that.

[Traildogbob]

71. Some of the magic

Lindsay Graham was speaking of.

[Joinfortmill]

72. And the GOP is following him to the gates of hell.

[Martin Eden]

74. One quibble

Trump didn't try to bribe a foreign government, it was EXTORTION.

Congress had already authorized the aid to Ukraine, which they desperately needed in their ongoing struggle against Russian agression.

Trump withheld that money to coerce Ukraine into launching an investigation into his political rival.

[hkp11]

75. great list

he's out of the former President's club

he's the only prez who loves white supremacists and they love him - all in public

only modern prez that never released his tax returns

only prez that did not have prior public service nor military experience

[Blue Owl]

76. I can't see too good -- is that a legacy or a steaming pile of dung?

[2Gingersnaps]

77. No President has ever done anything like it!

Many people tell me.

[BunnyMcGee]

81. Imagine if dumpy was a baseball player

taking the place of Casey, in "Casey at the Bat". At the end of the story, 'the Mighty Casey has struck out!'. For all his hype and posturing, that would add to his really shitty experience in the public eye!

Or Quint, in "Jaws", eaten by the shark when he thinks he's gonna defeat the beast. That would be nice.

Or he can s.l.o.w.l.y slip into raving dementia and soil his undies! Oh done that.

[dchill]

83. This list is WAY good!

The "legacy" is WAY bad!

[Sogo]

84. And those are the things we KNOW of....

But, gotta say, it all doesn't make me feel like laughing.

[Raster]

88. So. Much. Winning.

[DFW]

89. "The nearer the inauguration, the more you're slip sliding away........"

With apologies to Paul Simon (though he might agree with the sentiment)

[marble falls]

94. It's a laugh through clenched teeth.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

95. Ya, couldn't think of a word better than laugh. What's amazing

is that he had the gall to run in 2020! And we and press treated him like he was legitimate.

[marble falls]

96. Even he realizes he is an asterisk in history. When the the other ex's just did a public service ...

... spot for mask wearing, he just sent a little message. He didn't want to be in the same room. Too many real Presidents.

He gets the same laugh I give to a mosquito it took a couple of hours to smack late on a hot summer's night while trying to sleep.

[ecstatic]

97. And yet cruz and company wanted to install him as a dictator

It's infuriating and mind boggling. I guess they want all of us to die as the country succumbs to corruption and fascism?
