We had an imposter/thief/cheater in there, with his fucking wrecking crew, for four miserable years.
Hillary Rodham Clinton was the legitimately-elected President by the vote and the decision of the people.

I won’t ever recognize trump as a legitimate president. Just can’t get there. And WON’T get there.

Not EVER.

There was of course Hillary, who was elected but cheated out of serving. She should've been the president after Obama.

Instead, of course, our country was hijacked and held hostage by a childish lunatic with delusions of godhood. A jackass who spent 4 years golfing and tweeting, stealing and hating, seeing how much attention he could get and how many people he could hurt. A petulant man-baby asshole who tried to be a dictator, not a president.

The next thing that asshole does that's presidential will be the first. I'm not holding my breath.

You're not the only one that'll never recognize Herr Hamberders as a president - not only for the election shenanigans, but, his own behavior during his four year reign of terror/temper tantrum.

Something which is about catch up to Trump is everything he's done to harm US all. I know he doesn't care about it but the history we'll have is the awful truth of what he did, who he did it with, and who he really did it for.

He is the worst of capitalist, racist, elitist culture in all its violent and gross excess. He is the evil which Dickens and Dostoyevsky both observed in the selfish rich and entitled master class.

I have no doubt he will be the president known for going to prison after his reign of terror.

President Trump, who previously claimed he was “immune” to Covid-19 after contracting the virus last fall, was quietly vaccinated in January, a Trump representative confirmed.

When Trump was hospitalized with the coronavirus in October, his blood oxygen levels had plunged and officials feared he was on the verge of being placed on a ventilator.

Everything with Drumpf is transactional. The thought of doing something for the good of others without receiving something in return, would never cross his mind.

His initial instincts were to say no, but take credit for everything all the same. Drumpf's "accomplishments" would be akin to Colonel Sanders handing you a bucket of live chickens (feathers, innards and all) then saying, "hey, I ordered them, aren't they delicious"?

He's a useless, pompous ass, and will go down in history as the worst president; past, present, and future.

And he had to get in another racist dig, and what's with the 'beautiful shot' and FIVE years? No, pharmas had access and incentive to all the capital they needed, and no our current political life and policy is not a response to everything you didn't do or did do --- you just obstructed progress and prudent health policy long enough to enable exponential growth that killed another 500,000 Americans.

What a dolt! That man's head is denser than concrete.

if p.o.s. impeached traitor hadn't been installed, pretty sure 542,191 Americans wouldn't be dead from a virus. 6 wouldn't be dead because of rioters. Dozens wouldn't be dead from racist or homophobic attacks by white nationalists.

He is an insufferable egotistical bully that should be the scorn of anyone with a shred of decency.

I once thought that perhaps I'm overreacting with blind partisanship, but I present this release he made as exhibit ZZA, because we've gone through so many of these examples of his perverse sense of being.

As a politician, Trump was a blank slate any impressionable person could write his own desires on. Be it wishes for making your life better, or making White Supremacy a recognized feature of society.

Once again, a peculiar use of the word "beautiful" on top of taking credit that belongs to a great many people. I'd even say that these remarkable vaccines came about in spite of him, not because of him.

It will deprive him of any legitimacy to his claim that he's been excluded because of some grand conspiracy or hatred against him.
