It's not really that surprising that Trump would request a cameo considering they used one of his hotels for filming.

The thing that I have never been able to get over is how the guy who live in a luxurious penthouse suite and shits on a gilded toilet, that has built his entire brand identity about being a rich douchebag somehow convinced people that he was a champion of the common man, as if he has literally anything in common with the average American whatsoever. I still burn even today when I think about how stupid people are to have fallen for it in the first place.

Now any criticism of him is automatically political, because he got elected to the most important job in the nation. Even criticism of him before he became a politician is being reframed as just disgruntled Democrats trying to tear down Trump.

I hate him. So much.

you know that old joke about how every american is a temporarily embarrassed millionaire?

or carlin's old joke about how US politicians don't just come out of the ether, they're born and raised in shitty little greedy communities just like themselves

america is finally getting what it deserves, there's some fantastic little irony in it being almost entirely self-delivered. insofar as if the US-elite werent so short-sighted and greedy, they would have easily been able to stop Murdoch and other propagandists (some russian, some chinese) from tearing the country apart. but they didn't because the american elite largely don't care about the US either, they're just pissed that somebody else has outdone then in squeezing their own.
