    Geez, a narcissist compares himself to Mandela and Jesus Christ? Who would have thought.

    I know a guy like Trump in real life. Also goes on message rants at 3 in the morning, is incapable of saying a name -any name- without adding “the great” or “the terrible”, has called himself a god on many an occasion and continuously claims everyone loves him because he’s so great and so nicr. He makes everyone’s life miserable, including his children who literally states that they stay with him because they’re afraid that if they don’t, he will ruin their lives.

      He also said he was better than Washington and Lincoln. It was in the same video that he announced his NFT collection.

      Has he even really fought punishment over the gag order? They are just letting it go basically as far as I knew.

        Yes, he has appealed his gag order in multiple cases on multiple occasions, because as you know he has 91 criminal charges pending and also several civil cases.

        “They” wouldn’t be letting anything go unless he won a fight.

        But that also depends on how you define “fight”, and those who oppose Trump have really struggled with that in trying to defeat him.

        Look: fascism is soooo effective in undermining functional democracy because it, like, breaks democracy. Like, if democracy were a rules and bureaucracy machine that did good government (ideally), fascism works by identifying and exploiting its weak points in a systematic fashion. Mass media, systemic bureaucratics, advanced administration, logistics— all of this is ripe for disruption and takeover. And, unlike democracy, which functions on strict rules and ethics and is, thusly, slow to respond to attacks, fasism (esp neo- and ur-fascism) attacks from the outside at weak points rapidly with great agility, following few rules that encumber it.

        It’s really explained better in this video:

        No he hasn’t, he just whines like a toddler on his social media site. Not to mention the “punishment” has been something dumb like a $5k fine.

        Can Trump be a martyr too? Like any time soon?

        MLK’s words resonate because they meant something. Trump’s popularity will drop as soon as he isn’t around to stir the pot with his random word salad said in a way that gets people emotional.

          He eats nothing but mcdonalds and well done steak. His diet is likely to make him a martyr sooner than we all think.

          Eat your veggies, kids.

        A month ago, but apparently it was a gubernatorial endorsement, not himself:

        https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/trump-compares-north-carolina-lt-gov-mark-robinson-martin-luther-king-rcna141523

        GREENSBORO, N.C. — Former President Donald Trump likened North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson to Martin Luther King Jr. in an endorsement Saturday, despite the gubernatorial candidate’s long history of controversial comments about homosexuality, religion and victims of sexual abuse.

        “This is Martin Luther King on steroids,” Trump said of Robinson at a pre-Super Tuesday rally in North Carolina.

        “I told that to Mark. I said, I think you’re better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two,” he continued as he offered Robinson his endorsement in the Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday.

    "I will gladly become a Modern Day Nelson Mandela — It will be my GREAT HONOR,” the former president wrote in a lengthy Truth Social post attacking New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over Trump’s case.

    If his campaign’s aim is to actually get him into prison so that he can leverage a sense of victimhood, I gotta say that I am not at all convinced that that’s actually going to work very well.

    The trump effect. Instead of misremembering shit fron your childhood you completely delete from your mind the past crimes of a certain individual.

      It’s entirely probable that both Canada and USA will be ruled by right-wing morons come the next election. It’s a very scary time.

        I wonder how long Trump would retain power if he gets back in.

        …when his term is served, will a General or an operative attempt to end his third term in office by killing him… And then will that individual retain any sort of power, or will they die soon after.

      I wouldn’t call him human, and pigs are pretty smart.

      Word on the street is that you can smell him coming, so bear it is.
