Donald Trump has declared himself the “acting president of Venezuela” in an unhinged Truth Social post.

Mentally unsound.

All I want in the world is to see this man watch everything he think he had accomplished be utterly destroyed, his name burned from buildings, scorched from history.

I want him to watch his entire family go to prison, real prison. I want him to see his wealth shattered and put to public works dedicated to destroying the type of hate and ignorance he thrives on.

I want justice for his countless victims. The children we know he deflowered and destroyed. The adults whose lives he's broken. For the world he is helping destroy.

And I just want to see him suffer now because of pure spiteful vengeance

Fuck you Donald Trump

Sadly he won't. He's barely there mentally as he is. He will die and the cowards won't do anything to him before that.

[–] Willy@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

Won’t happen. He’s declining too quickly.

scorched from history.

Wiping away history is how you end up with a repeat of history.

His name should be in textbooks, right next to his misdeeds and the consequences of his rule. It should be taught to every student in high school as a lesson in history, civics, critical thinking, and cult indoctrination.

Nazi Germany is one of the most-studied periods in history, if not the most-studied, but here we are again anyway. Mere education isn't enough.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 10 points 2 days ago

Well, education in the USA is not exactly great.

[–] valek879@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

The rump admin is full of people who studied the Nazis. They took notes on how to use a radical minority to take over the country.

[–] RedGreenBlue@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think they teach this stuff in USA.

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Sure they do.

Hitler was a National Socialist, and socialism is bad, so Hitler was bad.

My Tennessee education taught me all I need to know!

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

Don't think that will happen...

I predict that the most along those lines we get will be Trump, on his deathbed, getting a glimpse of a world preparing to forget about him.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Be prepared to be disappointed, I'm afraid.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Ngl, I wanna give him the Pesci treatment from Casino.

Make him watch first.
