A fitting end for Trump?

[kpete]

David Frum: “Meandering, solipsistic, and crushingly boring—the interview was an awful premonition of the rest of Trump’s life should he lose again, in November: wandering the corridors of his clubs, going from table to table, buttonholing the dwindling number of guests, monologuing relentlessly until they squirm away.”

[Rubyshoo]

1. Couldnt Happen To A Nicer Guy...

[surfered]

52. Maybe a more deserving guy.

[Rubyshoo]

53. I Was Going For Irony And Sarcasm

[surfered]

57. 😁

[unblock]

2. Replace "his clubs" with "prison" and yeah, that works.

[RobertDevereaux]

9. Yes, 24/7 solitary confinement, no exercise, no megaphone.

[llmart]

16. I doubt he'd care if there was no exercise.

His idea of exercise is bending over to put the lifts in his shoes.

[SCantiGOP]

28. That's not true

He has to walk from the club dining room to his golf cart.

[relayerbob]

43. Came here to say this

[Walleye]

3. They are now paying $1 million to join Mar-a-Lago

[thomski64]

4. ?? Did you mean Mierde Lardo?

[AZ8theist]

12. Thank you for the correct spelling.

[Scrivener7]

15. I thought it was Log O' Merde. I stand corrected.

[House of Roberts]

56. I have been calling it More-A-Lie-Go for a while now.

[Maru Kitteh]

60. I was sure it was Mal-a-Guano.

Mal-aria Guano? Or is she that Italian singer?

[chouchou]

25. LOL!!

Good one!

[MontanaMama]

39. I thought it was

MAGA-Weirdo?

[brewens]

7. I was just going to mention that. If he thinks just jacking up membership fees will help him with his

financial woes, he's a dumbfuck. Wanna bet no one trustworthy analyzed if that would pay off or not? LOL

I'd be shocked if the membership hasn't slipped quite a bit in overall wealth and class in the past few years. I'm sure that was the place if you were a loyal republican with money in the Palm Beach area a few years ago, but are they all still there?

He might lose money jacking up prices and I bet he doesn't even understand how.

[Walleye]

8. He doesn't understand that they just want access to him if he wins. If he loses membership will drop.

[AZ8theist]

13. The dump is probably loaded with Russian and Chinese spies.....

The membership fees are chicken feed compared to the value of stolen intelligence they might be able to gather.

[GopherGal]

46. Probably a line item in the Russian and Chinese budgets...

for Mar-a-Cucaracha dues.

[AZ8theist]

47. Probably true..

UNBELIEVABLE what a traitorous scumbag Dotard is.......
....and ALL OF THE REPUKE PARTY. They are COMPLICIT in treason against the United States*.
Reagan, McCain, Patton and Eisenhower would VOMIT seeing what their so-called "comrades" have become....





* I don't give a FLYING FUCK what the actual "definition" of treason is.......Repukes who took money from Putin and parrot the Kremlin talking points/propaganda are fucking TRAITORS to the USA.


Yeah, I'm looking at YOU Moscow Marge you fucking IGNORANT POS Putin stooge:

[Ocelot II]

51. This is a guy who lost money running a casino.

He doesn't know how anything works.

[Squaredeal]

31. I'm not sure how this will attract enough hangers-on

…to pay the bills. These gilded age monstrosities are falling apart, unless massive amounts of money is expended to repair them, his residence in particular, which seems to be past its prime and almost ready to colapse, without constant repair. Those stucco towers in humid south Florida? Ill bet that Miss (Mrs) Dodge never spent anything on upkeep. The building was for her, mot any future generation of Dodges. Trump got it for almost nothing.

[Walleye]

32. He might be better off, giving it back to the United States government

[BattleRow]

37. Past it's prime ..ready to collapse?

Sheesh I thought you were talking about Trump

His guilt has certainly tarnished.

[wnylib]

34. Well, that's what Trump is charging. Anyone who is paying that

is likely more interested in Trump's contacts than in Trump himself. That will change when he no longer has relevance.

[Walleye]

36. Especially if he's in jail. Then the convicts will have the best access to him.

[NBachers]

45. I lived in South Florida for so long, and Mar-A-Lago had such a better name and associations when it belonged to

Marjorie Merriweather Post. Trump took it over and turned it into his usual garbage nightmare shit. It will ever be polluted and contaminated by him now.

[Clouds Passing]

50. Maga Loco

as Randi Rhodes calls it

[tetedur]

64. And that inflation is Joe Biden's fault.

[birdographer]

5. Anyone got a paywall bypass for the Atlantic article?

Thanks.

[Native]

11. try this...

https://web.archive.org/web/20240813135724/https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/08/trump-campaign-musk-interview/679451/

[birdographer]

19. Worked! Thanks, interesting article!

[Aristus]

6. Adolf Hitler was known to be a paralyzingly boring conversationalist.

He actually had no real conversation; he just launched into a long, dense, tedious monologue that was really just the same topic every time, his "period of struggle", his "sacrifices for Germany", and his unending grievances against Jewish people, the rich and privileged, and anyone else he considered to be antithetical to his interests.

Add to that his unending problems with flatulence, and you have the perfect analog to spending time in the company of Trump, with his fecal incontinence problem.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. Was Going To Post That!

I thought of the same thing, Aristus.
You saved me a lot of typing!

[Aristus]

18. Happy to help, Professor.

[tanyev]

54. I haven't ruled out reincarnation.

[central scrutinizer]

10. Nobody wants to hear a whiny crybaby

Playing the victim is boring

[lastlib]

17. No, a fitting end to The Felon would be spending his last years....

in a cement cell fronted by cold steel bars, sharing it with a very large and strong black man named Tyrone, with a very bad disposition---bankrupt and friendless, following a crushing election defeat by a black woman, sent there by a black woman judge who took none of his bulls**t.

A guy can dream..........

[sakabatou]

20. A fitting end would be for him to become irrelevant

No more interviews. No more public "speeches". Just an old, cranky man child, who seems to be going through cognitive malfunctions.

[SCantiGOP]

30. The best thing would be, a few years from now

Him seeing the Republican Party trying to become relevant again by denouncing his reign as a malignant exception to the Grand Old Party’s history and beliefs.

[AllyCat]

63. Needs to be sooner.

He won’t live a couple of years if Big Mac has his way with him in prison.

[MiHale]

21. In Venezuela?? 😂😂😂😂😂

[AmBlue]

22. I'd say...

...that's way too good for him. While relatively humiliating, in that scenario he'd still be eating off fine china and shitting in a gold-plated toilet. I say he needs to spend the rest of his life in prison. Nothing else will do.

[H2O Man]

23. Size XX-L in orange

is the best fit.

[Torchlight]

24. I'm firmly convinced he'll be reduced to selling his autographs

to curious onlookers attending the West Course East Regional North Campus Civic Center sub-station political convention by the end of 2026.

[pat_k]

26. Fruitless and endless search for universal adoration.

Gotta wonder what form it will take in prison.

[Klarkashton]

27. It's already happening.

[rzemanfl]

29. He will be out of the country or in prison. n/t

[wnylib]

38. Maybe in a prison out of the country, depending on where he tries to seek refuge.

[rzemanfl]

40. That's a possibility I failed to consider.

[Wednesdays]

59. And in a lot of foreign prisons

they really don't mess around.

[BattleRow]

33. Wandering the corridors with

his golf clubs would be quite an image..

[GopherGal]

48. I'm having trouble conjuring that image...

since I can't fathom him carrying his own clubs.

Driving a golf cart indoors, maybe. If he drives his cart right up on the green, what's to stop him from driving it through corridors, I guess.

[BattleRow]

49. How the mighty have fallen

Nobody to carry his clubs anymore.
He teed everyone off.

[spanone]

35. K&R

[hawkeye21]

41. Yes, but is that how they do prison these days? LOL

[carpetbagger]

42. The Fletcher Memorial Home

". Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
And build them a home, a little place of their own.
The Fletcher Memorial
Home for Incurable Tyrants and Kings.
And they can appear to themselves every day
On closed circuit T.V.
To make sure they're still real.
It's the only connection they feel..."

[greatauntoftriplets]

44. He belongs in the Ronald Reagan Home for the Criminally Insane.

[THE BARRISTER]

55. JUST WEIRD

As Gov. Waltz said, and said it all:

THESE PEOPLE ARE SIMPLY "WEIRD."

What else can one say, or think. Just WEIRD.

[et tu]

58. solitary confinement

would really be a just punishment-
no adoring? crowds to heal his ego.

[Dem4life1970]

61. If you told me 20 years ago...

...that I would feel positive about David Frum, Liz Cheney, Darth Cheney (the sith Lord himself), Anthony Scaramucci, Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt, and many other pro Democracy Republicans, I would be shocked.

[maspaha]

62. David Frum helped facilitate the likes of Trump. Frum needs to own it and make amends.

[robleb]

65. odd alien

[republianmushroom]

66. No, the fitting end of the convicted felon is sitting in a prison cell.

[czarjak]

67. From Frum...

I'll take his take as soon as he atones for W. Former Republicans can F-OFF2

[Kid Berwyn]

68. Like they do to fakes in Kafiristan.

[Owens]

69. Venezuela Membership?

Him hinting at fleeing to Venezuela like a little coward he is, should piss off his club members who pay $1 million a year to be a club member.
