The amount of harm caused by the shitbag in the whitehouse will go on for generations. We’re so fucked.
I am still baffled some days that people saw that fat sack of orange shit and thought, yeah, that rich racist dude whos bankrupt half his company's... lets make that guy our cult leader.
I still think The Apprentice had a hand in giving him the presidency. That show made people think he was actually a savvy businessman, when he's the furthest thing from it.
Mhm. I'd argue that had he actually been a savvy businessman he never would've had a show like that.

Oh, 100%. There is a good chance that even after all the self-promotion that Tacostein did all during the 80s and 90s that many Americans had no clue who he was. That show he was given changed that, and gave many Americans the entirely wrong impression of this failson.
Of course, the "liberal media" did almost nothing to disabuse Americans of that impression of Tacostein as a Bigly Important Bidness Man.
