    I could understand 2016. I can forgive 2020. 2024 is pushing it.

    but now? NOW is when you change your mind? if you’ve been a die hard trumper this long it seems weird to change now

      In 2016 it was already perfectly clear that this fucker is the most spectacularly unqualified person for the job. And he never made any secret of his odious views. If you ever voted for Trump, you’re an asshole. No excuses.

      I could understand 2016. I can forgive 2020.

      I can’t do either of those things. Anyone who paid the least attention should have known he was crazy 60 years ago if not longer.

      He used to tell a tall tale about how he lived in a cardboard box in the street in NYC until someone gave him a $5 bill which he invested to build his “empire” (his preferred word for it at the time). I can’t possibly be the only person to remember that ludicrous bullshit.

        Lmao, not really. Did he actually have such a tale? Who the fuck would possibly believe that?

          It was a video interview, I remember watching it the same way you watch cars keep crashing in to each other in a freeway accident during an ice storm. They’ve done a good job of retconning it away.

            That’s absolutely insane. Trump is a silver spoon in every orifice clown 🤡

            I just cannot understand people who have like a compulsion to lie, and about very obvious things.

      I could understand 2016.

      Donald Trump placed advertisements in several prominent newspapers, including Newsday, in 1989 calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty so that the Central Park Five could be executed for their alleged crimes.

      I feel the same way… except about your confusion.

      The guy… '16, '20, '24… etc…

      And you expected, what…? Decisions based on proportioned weighting of relevant information?
