The video:
My favourite thing about this is that .... he'll be remembered forever for shit like this (no pun intended).
Think about it ... JFK had famous speeches and lines like 'We choose to go to the moon' ... Eisenhower is thought of to his line 'the Military Industrial complex' ... Roosevelt for his 'Day of infamy' speech ... even Reagan is remembered for his 'Tear down this wall' speech
Trump? ... he'll be remembered as a senile old buffoon who shared childish videos to make fun of the citizens he was supposed to govern.
.... and it isn't just representative of Trump ... no matter how the country feels about it ... his stupidity reflects on the entire nation.
it's fucking baffling, even the people we all remember as being the definition of evil are also remembered as being quite serious (in public at least), but modern fascists seem utterly hell-bent on being remembered as parodies that were somehow 100% real
His legacy will be that of a cautionary tale on how not to be the most embarrassing footnote in American history.
His grave should be the only location where public defecation is legalized.
Oh, Lord, this guy really drank the Kool-Aid. (jk)
I think he meant defecation.
If I had a nickel...
If only.
Should America one day go back to something resembling a functioning democracy, his legacy will be "who could have seen it coming" "no-one I know voted for him" "voter fraud" "we were too afraid" "at least the trains ran on time" "it was China/Russia's fault". I've heard most of those already.
Variations on all these lies and more were peddled by the Germans after the war and believed by the world. Even by American judges right after WWII who acquitted the overwhelming majority of Nazi War Criminals tried at Nuremberg despite mountains of evidence.
Anything but a society, culture, and individuals holding themselves accountable for easily predictable and predicted failures to govern.
You mean "defecation" right
Yep, and that was my 2nd autocorrection. The first one had it as dedication. I really need to stop trusting it has my back.
That's what he wants. To have more money than other people, and to be remembered.
In a way, that's one nice thing about how he's destroying America. America will be weakened so much that maybe soon some other country or some new country will rule this land, and the United States will be relegated to history books. And then, Trump will only be remembered by very specialized historians.
In China they have these statues of a corrupt official and his wife that killed a loyal general like 1000 years ago. People spit on those statues to show they haven't forgotten the betrayal. Maybe Americans can take a cue from that and always "remember" Trump in that way when he's gone.
Hear me out; we take all the statues of Confederate losers and whatever gaudy atrocious bullshit cheeto comes up with, set them all up in a swamp with catwalks placed close enough that people can spit, piss, and if so motivated and properly prepared, projectile vomit/shit on their memories.
I think I'm good.
He doesn't care about being remembered per se, just getting his ego stroked now. And all his shitty juvenile impulses fulfilled.
Yeah, because anyone who's attempting to control this country is doing such a great job in their own that it's something we should look forward to.
How do you think all this shit got started? Trump didn't really have the friends or influence domestically.
The “speech” I’ll always remember is still when he was mocking the disabled.
Classic one I'll always think of when it comes to this orange turd .... they should make that into a statue for everyone to remember
This. I don't think about what Trump will be remembered for as much as what mark will he leave on America. His orange face will forever be included in the lists of US presidents reminding everyone how stupid this country has become. The monuments he's building and reforming will stay in Washington for centuries. The broken alliances, dismantled institutions, discarded laws... The US will never be the same after Trump and it will be his real legacy.
"Ich bin ein Berliner"
Not trying to disprove your point though, being remembered for that is still dimensions better than that video.
He really won the hearts and minds of the jelly donut crowd
Man, his diaper was really full!
King Dump.
fun fact : in the U.K. the word “trump” is slang for “fart”
i really believe that we need to start using that colloquialism a lot more frequently
That's neat. Here it's slang for shithead who's destroying the community
Yeah my personal favourite part is the stench clouds appearing around his face. I imagine they are there in real life.
There are numerous accounts claiming he indeed has a foul stench that lingers about him...
Can I unsee that?
Nope
This will soon be required viewing as part of an American education.

Im impressed how far AI has come, it even knew he wouldnt wear an oxygen mask properly just like a covid chin diaper.
To the people like me who are confused, this is the actual video the US president posted. I figured this was too far even for that guy.
