That thing's "re-election" committee is just as embarrassing & inept as that thing is.😂



So you're arguing that Trump is Thanos ("The Mad Titan&quot who wants to kill half of all living things, but in the end winds up defeated and dying, taking all of his sycophantic followers down with him?

Great work, everyone.

when you haven't done your homework. Was it George HW Bush who briefly used "Born in the USA" as his campaign theme song until people pointed out how deeply cynical that song was?

They've always been utterly clueless. Like a dad trying to be "hip" and "with it" but just winds up embarrassing his kids.

I think these idiots only pay attention to the title, melody and--maybe--the beat. The actual message is incidental.

Maybe someone can get the Trump campaign to play Stevie Wonder's "He's Misstra Know-It-All" at their rallies? I wonder how long it will take 'em to realize that the joke's on L'Grande Orange...?

He's so grossly incompetent and unqualified (and corrupt) for the office of the Presidency) in all of the ways that seem obvious for a large number of people, yet, because of things like the Electoral College, voter suppression, and insane sycophancy within the Republican Party, it is entirely possible that he could actually win re-election in 2020 if he can smear the Democratic nominee just enough for his greasy orange paws to swipe it.
