Former President Donald Trump Knows Nothing, About Anything

Last edited Sun Aug 25, 2024, 11:17 AM - Edit history (1)

He doesn't know that rape is bad.
He doesn't know that theft is bad.
He doesn't know that lying is bad.

He doesn't know how numbers work.
He doesn't know what words are.

Can't ride a bike.
Can't drive a car.

He has failed at EVERYTHING he has ever attempted.

The only reason to support this ignoramus is because he allows a bigot to be a bigot.
That is all they have. They have carefully tended to their hate.
That hate has grown into a tree that the GOP rests under.
The tree of hate has supplied the planks for their platform.

That tree must be cut down and destroyed before it once again bears strange fruit.

Trump is unbelievably stupid. It’s hard to comprehend how he has gotten where he is or why anyone would support such an idiot.

You nailed it, Grolph_:

The only reason to support this ignoramus is because he allows a bigot to be a bigot.
That is all they have.

We on here know exactly who he is. A not bright lazy cowardly bully who balances it out by being manipulative and evil. A real treasure.

5. Trump is an abject failure

As Rick Wilson wrote: Everything Trump Touches Dies

Trump has never taken responsibility for any of his failures (bankruptcies, court losses, COVID, losing popular vote in elections, healthcare, USFL, etc.).

Trump tries to blame other parties for his failures.

Trump likes to take responsibility for other people's success (COVID vaccines).
He had nothing to do with the genome project.
He did none of the hard work in the laboratory.

Trump likes to take responsibility for other people's success

A good example is when he talks about the US economy pre-COVID. He’s been allowed to take credit for the Obama/Biden recovery for far too long, with the media dutifully echoing the sentiment. If anything, Trump’s policies slowed the recovery/growth rate.

And for the purposes of the upcoming election, I’m completely OK with him taking all the credit, but the skewing of the Supreme Court, and even Trump’s 2016 election, are really owed to Mitch McConnell.

Bush inherited a thriving economy from Bill Clinton and he spent money like a drunken sailor. He took full advantage of being viewed as a "war time president" and left the economy in shatters.

The DNC has begun the process of righting the horrible wrong embodied in his existence. His stain on the body politic will need total removal if the 21sr century is to be recalled in any good light. To accomplish otherwise condemns us all.

We must take a real majority in both houses of Congress. We must clear the rot from the USSC. We must legislate to prevent the possibility of a return to the current state.

When he tightened Rachel Scott's water bottle during the sit down at the National Association of Black Journalists is 100% proof. Petty. Sociopath.

Yes, he can.

I’ve addressed this several times. I’ll have to wait until I’m not on a phone to add links.

I do not know the current status of his driver’s license.

And good morning.

It isn't pheromones because he stinks like crap.
Or, maybe it is.
Could his stank be why people are stuck on him?
