Well, ok. Maybe one note...
Where's the humor?
These are just a series of statements of facts.
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.
Thanks.

Don't forget he's also a pedo
Oliver Kornetzke is American.
And the criticism is stronger for it. But perhaps you'd consider throwing him a UK passport? (Diminished as it is after the farce of Brexit.) He might well need it soon
"This country" gives it away.
Transcript:
Behold, the festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoulβall spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always beenβarrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soulβit shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.
A symptom of a much deeper problem. Rot or rust usually takes a while before it's visible, and just covering it up doesn't stop anything.
It hurts because it's true.
Also a Criminal who is so good at it because he learned how to be from a hogh-society, self-hating gay, self-hating jew, self-loving Mafia lawyer who was attracted to him (Roy Cohn).
Roy went on to die of AIDs just after the Reagan administration.
"Hog-society" indeed βπ»
Hey! That's insulting carcasses!
Even rotting carcasses have their place, providing food for scavengers and microorganisms.
Fuck Facebook
I agree, but the significant format change makes it difficult to accurately attribute, which is a significant issue for memes in general.
