I call "taking a dump" as "taking a huge donald" and it's sort of stuck now.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Finally the Arnold family can rest easy and pass on the torch to the Trumps.

[–] pno2nr@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You can't actually Trump me, I am way older than 13.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

dark. accurate. excellent.

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

For me, as a European, Trump genuinely isn't a whole lot worse than the previous American presidents. Pretty much all of them were war criminals who actively worked to make Europe weak and divided.

If anything, with Trump we're getting closer to a federal Europe than ever before. I'm not necessarily saying I want a federal Europe. Regardless of that, USA worked tirelessly for decades to make sure it's not formed. That's one good argument in favor.

Just in case, this isn't meant to portray the current US president in any positive light. I highly doubt that's even possible.

Well y'all can have him. Right now that pedophile is putting hard working people out of work and letting the poorest among us miss meals all while he rounds up people with darker skin than him to make them disappear. I'm really much more concerned with the evil he is doing here at home than the federalization of Europe. Plank in your own eye and all that.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Indeed, I fully support the EU, I hope the UK will return and more countries that qualify enter the union. The USA views the EU as competition and they know we are a threat to their empire.

Not in american history class, obviously. But the resto the world, sure.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Trump will go down in history as the last American president.

Not even just treachery, just a cheap sellout

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

You can't betray someone if you only ever serve yourself.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

You have to have stood for something good in order to sell out. That was never the case.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I simply hope the second wake-up call finally works. Mamdani's victory is a start.

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 92 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (23 children)

Meanwhile he's still there.

And let me be clear. I'm sick tired of all this "he's the one bad guy" idea. He's the shitty tip of the massive shit-iceberg of what is happening in the US. The Rep are stealing the whole fucking country and turning the population in legions of ignorant bigots.

If this keep going. History will be what they decide.

Imagine thinking this is a partisan issue and not the history and ongoing reality of the USA.

The good news is that we can vote away the problem and it will all be solved by electing a dem. \s \s \s

There are so many assumptions in here.

  1. America will be relevant in the future.
  2. Common people will talk about America or its history several generations down the line.
  3. No one worse will have come along and trumped what Trump does.
[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Of course people will talk about American and its history several generations down the line, the same way we still talk about the Ottoman Empire.

[–] bremen15@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

When did you last talk about the ottoman empire with your colleague or family?

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You don't know my history-buff dad.

[–] bremen15@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

Oh, he sounds fun!

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

I talked about the ottoman empire with my personal trainer yesterday, if that counts as a colleague.

He really trumped that up, didn't he?

Or... Once he's gone and things settle down for a bit, he'll only be remembered through a couple of weird memes.

I don't trust the intelligence or rationality of people anymore to believe they'll learn from this.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Oh sure and all the countries he threatened to annex will totally forget and that totally won’t stick for generations to come. Yup no one will care that US we’re not even questioning him then when he started pulling that shit.

Think again. We will all make sure you wont forget. Not ever.

Things won’t just settle. That kinda shit getting fixed up won’t just ‘happen on its own’.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Here in Denmark he's treated like a bad joke. Nobody here actually believes he'll try to take Greenland after the last time someone from the US visited there.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

He'll be remembered as basically the same as the democrats before and after him.

[–] Limonene@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

"Trump card" will mean cards that you hide under the table or up your sleeve.

Never gonna trump you up
Never gonna trump you down
Never gonna trump around and trump you
Never gonna make you trump
Never gonna say trump
Never gonna tell a trump and trump you

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

He will be like the boogeyman. Young girls will run away when they hear his name guarding themselves so he can't grab them by the pussy from the shadows.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

The way things are going in the future history will just be propaganda decided by the racist sexist pedofile billionaire tech bros and the AI they’ve programmed with their ignorance narcissism and bigotry.

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

So the future will be exactly like the past but with "AI".

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

But they fully intend to destroy any documentation or archives that contradict their self policing punch down hierarchy

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 30 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Trump will become the symbolic image of this period of American history

But the most prominent part of this period of political history is the fact that America allowed this idiot into office in the first place.

The dumb part is not that Trump is who he is ... the dumb part is that a whole mass of people, professionals, academics, politicians and leaders either helped, supported or stood by to let this dumb leader into the highest office and keep him there ... and to say the least, the American people who all debated among themselves endlessly to the point of allowing this dumb leader to their highest office.

Trump is dumb sure .... but the dumbest part of this whole thing is that an entire country paved the way for this one dumb leader to represent them all.

Is it bad that I'm not sure which specific event we're talking about here because so many could fit?

[–] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It already means I betrayed you in French...

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Pretty sure they chose that fake name because they're huge fans of The Pixies.

Bold of you to assume there a) will be history books or b) they'll not maintain his personality cult after he dies to maintain the new "status quo".

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Pretty sure they never read a history book of USA, since it's 10000% just whitewashing fascists like Trump.

No idea why that would change in the future.

[–] LordOfLocksley@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Trump means fart in the UK
