Trump: "Guys like me built the country. I watch all these ingrates, they're always complaining, complaining. They didn't build anything, they couldn't build anything. Look at what's happened in Minnesota. Somalia."

The White House

(4,080 posts)He's turned the oval into a carnival side show act. Mainly, every day he's conscious and semi coherent, they parade some assholes in there for some dumb shit for him to sign that pertains to the asshats behind him that he holds up, they invite the press pool in for 10 minutes, then he spews all this BS to them. Then the press pool is herded out like cattle. He never gets up out of his chair. The fools who paid for the visit get a picture, maybe signed, then off they go. He has no idea who they are or what he even just signed, which is usually a meaningless "proclamation" or "Executive Order" This is happening every single day so they can try and keep control of the narrative. Even if that narrative is that he's off the rails they don't care. It's like those stupid leaf less gutter commercials with that irritating salesman. They just run this everyday they can with him so he's in peoples head. Doesn't matter. It keeps Epstein at bay. These things are a game to distract, to keep him alive to his hard core cultists and let him throw his tantrums to the press which he just enjoys.
ITS A GAME AND THE M$M MEDIA ARE THE BOARD!

To the best of my knowledge, Trump built exactly three structures in his lifetime: Trump Tower, The Taj Mahal (AC) and Trump Plaza and Casino (AC). Everything else that has his name stuck on it is branding, IOW, someone else built and owns it but paid money for the Trump moniker.
BTW, both the Plaza and the Taj Mahal were demolished and no longer exist.

His legacy is doing stupid hurtful shit like cutting USAID. Destroying that did more harm than remodeling a fountain did good. That he's a fucking moron means he will never understand the harm greedy fat stupid entitled rich people do to the world. Fuck him.

(61,209 posts)His earliest ancestor to this country in 1885 was his grandfather, who ran a brothel. I don't know if he built it. His father was a slumlord, who engaged in racist discrimination. Interesting fact, most of the apparent developments he built were government subsidized. His mother came from Scotland. Trump himself used his father's fortune to build apartments, hotels and casinos.
Trump had nothing to do with the founding fathers creation of a democratic republic. Trump had nothing to do with the cultural, educational, community achievements that made this country what it is.
In reality, he has been destroying much of what many of us loved about America. Our democracy and a government where powers are split between three branches designed to check each other. He is destroying much of what has made DC,not just the capital, but the symbol of our country. Knocking down a wing of the WH without communicating the plan to the country or even Congress was a slap in the face, as was putting his name on the Kennedy Center
Having an ugly venue for bloody caged matches built on the lawn would likely not have been imagined in a dystopian novel.
His legacy will be he made the world less safe and jeopardized the US having any allies and that he transformed DC from a dignified, meaningful place to a grotesque version of itself. I would say Trump is tasteless, but it may be more accurate that his taste authentically comes to him from his brothel owning grandfather and his racist father.
