    Do people not recall this from his first term (okay this is dated 2022 but I swear I saw it in his first term)? Sorry you have to click ‘more’ to see the rest. But it’s all why he’s horrible not just as a president but as human being. No one with his traits should ever have any ounce of real power on a global scale yet for some reason the US voted him in twice (or was rigged, I try to think better of the US but it obviously wasn’t close enough to say no).

      “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”

      A better questions is, “Why do any people anywhere like Donald Trump?”

        It does bring to mind a quote from Full Metal Jacket, ‘what is your major malfunction numbnuts?’ Mean he’s an obvious con man and embodies the worst we have to offer as a species and he’s not shy about it. Not even clever, smart and he manages to get away with everything from trying to bribe/strong arm Ukraine to stealing classified documents, to freaking breaking campaign violations to keep someone quiet.

          I know the basic answer is “because he’s a cult leader,” but it’s still hard for me to comprehend that kind of mindset.
