This guy will be studied for centuries, his ability to captivate minds of every person who has internet. He will make headlines for every day for the rest of his life and nobody can do anything about it.

more like how the media pushes every single breath he takes. he knows its bullshit, the media knows its bullshit and i have a hard fucking time blocking his bullshit out of my goddamn feed.

10 years later and there's STILL potential for surprises and new lows. Absolutely amazing.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Well, somebody could make the headlines say certain things.

I did not think about the fact that I will probably live a few decades after his death. It will be interesting to see how he will be know to people who did not endure him

[–] vonbaronhans@midwest.social 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

"endure" does seem like the most appropriate verb to use there.

[–] LegoBrickOnFire@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I am not a native speaker. I meant it like "to survive something difficult". https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/endure

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

No, it was a great choice.

[–] vonbaronhans@midwest.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, that's exactly what I thought you meant. I FELT it, deep in my bones.

Would never have guessed you weren't a native speaker, lol.

[–] LegoBrickOnFire@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh dang... I misread your comment, I thought you said "It does not seem..." Things make more sense now^^ I was questionning my understanding of the word to endure

[–] vonbaronhans@midwest.social 1 points 11 months ago

Hehe, happens to the best of us!

The craziest thing, unless he becomes a king or starts WW3 against Iran or China, i believe we will forget him like we forgot all other assholes that made people's lives miserable. Only OG gangstas like ucle Adi, ucle Josif, uncle Mao stay in permanent memory.

I knew he was dragging us backwards but I didn't think we'd go back to before the fuckin tea party

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He thinks that he'll be crowned king if the US joins the Commonwealth that's why.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 13 points 11 months ago

I genuinely think this may have crossed his mind.

This guy wants to undo all of America.

[–] adaveinthelife@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sure, by being annexed by Canada.
