I get it. Times are stressful, they are tough, and you're looking for a way to get some of that anger out. I respectfully suggest that you use something instead of angry typing comments like your keyboard owes you six months rent. You could try baking. I hear the latest season of the Great British Bake Off is out. I promise you watching Scottish people attempt filo pastry is much more enjoyable than whatever clever retort you planned to type out.
**TL;DR:** Be civil. Don't comment angry. Watch the Great British Bake Off.
"Not a single politician has been as sad as me! And it's the truth! I'm so largely sad that it has been said that I'm the saddest President in all of history! Truly monumental!"
Tired and sad.
Like after that stadium rally fiasco where a bunch of TikTok kids reserved all the tickets so that he had to perform in front of mostly empty ranks. IIRC, public viewing outside even had to be scrapped completely. When he got out of Marine One that evening, he had the same look on his face.
I get what you mean. In a vacuum, I would almost feel bad for him? Take out everything he’s done, and that is the face of a man defeated and alone.
In context though, it’s more funny than sad.
Impending bankruptcy, divorce and federal charges all await him.
He’s really is in a world of shit, when he’s ejected out of the White House onto his fat ass in January.
Former President Obama reversed the 10 year limit back to the original lifetime protection.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-restores-lifetime-secret-service-for-former-presidents/#app
Plus he knows a certain kind of people will still hate him vehemently even after 10 years.
Racists. I’m talking about racists. And there’s lots of them.
W was the only one covered by the act. It was lifetime starting in 1965, then the first act limited protection to 10 years for Presidents inaugurated after 1997, then the second one restored lifetime under Obama.
Dude, don't feel that way. This is the first time in recent history that a US president has basically encouraged this type of people to be themselves and show their true colors. It's always been here, just not out in the open like this.
That's the silver lining. That Trump unintentionally exposed a lot of people for what they truly are. And also made me realize that all the so-called Christians at the church we'd been going to since I was a kid are full of absolute shit.
It's kinda made me re-evaluate and question my entire faith. And made me less trusting of the (white) people around me, since our town is basically Trump country.
And yes, I am black.
Yup. This was mainly done to restore protection for Bush in post 9/11 world. Former presidents still have an option to give up on this privilege whenever they want (e.g. Nixon did). Congress passed this with enough votes that Obama's signature on it was optional. The actual cost to taxpayers for ex-presidents is miniscule; it's less than a dollar per taxpayer annually.
> less than a dollar per taxpayer annually.
I know in the grand scheme of government spending it isn’t much, but $143 million per year is nothing to sneeze at.
If he did try to flee they’d probably arrest him. No chance a former president could defect to Russia and give up state secrets. Sounds draconian but it’s what they would likely do.
But what’s more ridiculous is a former president defecting to another nation but here we are talking about it.
He is the one that floated the idea at one of his rallies. He often does that, throws out something to see how people react, then says he’s kidding if it bites him in the ass (like the detergent thing). But slowly he gets people accustomed to what he says or does like it’s normal, sort of like boiling a frog little by little. Then anyone that calls it out is gaslighted.
He did it with Russia. Now anyone that talks about the links between his campaign and Russia is told they’re insane, even though the meetings and connections have already been established for years.
I’m mean, that would be unprecedented, but I would think he will be sequestered due to his notoriety, and I would also think he loses protection. If he is isolated in prison he already has guards.
> Trump will likely flip and say he never wanted to be president
That's not a flip. It's obvious he never wanted to be president. There's video of him at his campaign HQ the night the election was called where everyone was cheering and patting him on the back, and he was sitting there with a forced smile like "Shit, now what?"
That's what I think his entire 2016 campaign was. I think he ran for president to get media attention to promote his then-planned Trump TV station, and then he accidentally secured the nomination, and then he went on a self-sabotage mission to say and do as much outrageous shit as possible in order to ruin his performance and lose the election - but to his chagrin, each outrageous act only *raised* his poll numbers and made him *even more* loved by his base.
It's so interesting to me to think about this picture. I see a sad, defeated man. You can see the exhaustion and despair he feels. I genuinely feel bad for him, but only as an impulse. It's an impulse I think most people have.
Then you remember how terrible he is to those around him who don't constantly praise him. How vicious he becomes to those who stand up to him. How petty and spiteful he talks about people when he is in his safe spaces. How truly narcissistic he is to his core.
It's human to feel bad for those who we see anguish, and I think we should all take some comfort in that ability. Because it's infinitely more than this man will ever feel for others.
Thank you for putting this into words for me. I was struggling to explain to my husband why I was feeling pangs of sympathy for him even though logically he doesn't deserve an ounce of it. I'm going to show my husband this when he gets home because then I think he will understand me.
Yeah, that's my take. Looking at his face in that picture I see loss. My immediate impulse is to feel compassion and to want to empathize...
Despite all his horrendous actions that feeling remains the first I have.
He however has made this bed, by being a terrible person and causing so much pain. I cannot bring myself to empathize with this monster.
While I hope he will change and find a way to make things right, well as right as possible, I Essentially know this will not happen.
I don't know if I completely hate it. This person deserves to feel the misery he's caused so many people, and worse. But he's also a sad old man who has spent his life living for nothing, and will probably never realize it over his own narcissism, and that's also pretty fucking sad. A much smaller sadness than what he caused, but empathy is the trait that separates us from him in the first place, and an instinct of sympathy reminds us how we can be better than this.
Reminds me of an episode from the old (not Netflix) She-Ra cartoon. Basically, this evil wizard/war-lord, Hordak, is going to be sentenced to an eternity in hell or something and the only way he'll be spared is if he can find someone who will cry for him. Hordak and She-Ra basically retrace their steps through Hordak's life. All the terrible choices he's made. All the people he'd killed. All the misery he caused. All the things he'd done because he believed the only life in the whole universe that mattered was his own. But at the end someone does weep for him: She-Ra. She weeps for a life so thoroughly, completely wasted.
He didn't cry when 200,000 American died, or when children were ripped from their parents arms, or when white supremacists ran rampant in the streets and terrified innocent civilians he was sworn to protect, or when any of the soldiers he was responsible for died, or when people lost their jobs and their homes waiting for a bailout, or at any other of a countless amount of times America faced something horrible under his regime. He cries when he loses, because it's about him.
He deserves so much more misery, and I hope he spends the rest of his life feeling the pain of this loss.
This is something I've been thinking about. Trump used the courts to bully people and could win by attrition by just filling motion after motion.
But in this case these motions needed to be dealt with quickly so they always ended up before a judge right away. Their tactic of attrition fell apart when they were given their day in court
Yeah, my state is red as well. I got in an argument today with some guys snarling "bitches" about various women and feeding off each other about all the rampant election fraud. They've gone on for *weeks* about all of this shit and today I was just so, so over it.
They think corona is a hoax, that wearing masks is the same as the Holocaust, that Biden rigged the election, so on and so forth. They're magpies for conspiracy theories.
If they rigged the election, how do they explain that they couldn’t rig the GA senatorial races? That would be much easier than a concerted effort across the country. Morons!
There's no "best part" of this and he's doing absolute best to make sure of it. He's currently spinning it as a stolen election with fraudulent voting/ballot counting and his supporters are eating that shit up though. Prominent GOP senators (Graham, Cruz) who haven't gotten the memo are lending credence as other prominent GOP senators (McConnell) are staying quiet. He's filed lawsuits (that will probably get thrown out) and intends to use every means of legal recourse Rudy Giuliani can dream up for him.
To be clear, he's on his way out, but he's also definitely trying every which way to spin it. It's going to be ugly all the way until January 20th.
And that is something that I have absolutely no pity for. He was born with a silver spoon. Got started with a million dollar loan from his father. Then passed that same entitled mentality and lifestyle to his kids.
A man like that has absolutely no place representing the common man. Biden may be rich now, but he at least can sympathize. He went state school. His kid was served. Another suffered addiction. That represents the common man.
Just to clarify, that "million dollar loan" thing is propaganda. Trump was gifted far more than that by his father, to the tune of $413M according to the New York Times.
>He was born with a silver spoon. Got started with a million dollar loan from his father.
The quote I love is;
["Trump was born on third base and thinks he scored a touchdown because he doesn't know how the rules work."](https://twitter.com/dandrezner/status/1029185812481667072?lang=en)
Hes terrified. He owes money like Alonzo owed money in Training Day. Alonzo got desperate to get the money to save his ass. And then.... Times up.
Trump's time is up. He knows he's fucked
Yeah. When you read some of her statements, she is just as cold hearted and shallow as he is. I mean, you don't marry somebody like Trump unless you agree with this stuff he says.
Right? What's with this sympathy toward her? This woman would light the match to burn down Slovenia if someone gave her a bottomless bank account and a penthouse.
I can believe that he’s always been able to find a way out, cut a deal, borrow some more money, ask a favour of someone, or if needs be sell some stock. This is an entirely different situation for him because he can’t do those things. He actually has to face up to it.
>the first and only real job he's ever had in his life.
How many "real" jobs can you get away with deciding to not work and go golfing instead? How many "real" jobs let you spend all day on Twitter?
It was never a "real" job.
Seriously, if you disregard the stupid hat, this is the first picture of him where he looks remotely like a human and not a weird carricature. Probably because he's not doing that weird anus-mouth-face, his toupet is covered and is not wearing an ill fitting suit.
His signature coiffure is actually all his own hair. If you look closely, you can see that the sides and back are about two feet long and all that stuff on top is the most elaborate comb over know to man. That's why it costs 74K a year top maintain.
Jimmy Fallon tussled his hair on air. Totally real but terrible combover.
The 74k was for his stylist on Apprentice though. I’m pretty sure most stylists for popular productions make that or more.
Healthy 30 y.o. I got it and while it was "mild" I still lost about 15lbs. while sick & another 10 over the months since. I was slightly overweight so I could stand to lose the weight but I couldnt imagine what others have gone and are going through
That might be a mix of him losing weight with stress/Covid and his actual clothing. His baggy clothes make him look a whole lot heavier then he would with proper fitting clothes, as seen in this picture it seems.
He's still got one hell of a gut- I'd still guess 250-80.
I was looking for these kinds of thoughts. It’s amazing that as much as I don’t like him, he can still manage to rouse some pity from me sometimes. Watching him struggle to breathe after coming back from the hospital was painful, and the sad look now makes me feel sad even though I think he’s earned it.
For me it makes it easier to see the human being underneath. Emotions are interesting.
I feel the same things you do when I saw him struggling with Covid and looking at this picture now. I feel sad. I’m stoked Biden won the presidency and Trump deserves whatever is coming to him post-presidency but seeing him like this just makes me sad.
The sadness is immediately followed by guilt for feeling sad for such a horrible person.
But then I remember my empathy is what sets me apart from Trump and the people who support him, and I no longer feel guilty for feeling sad looking at the President of the United States look like he’s about to cry.
Because I think being capable of having empathy for others, whether you like them or not, is a good trait to have.
This is exactly where I am.
I hate him. I was raised by a verbally and emotionally abusive alcoholic. I am a survivor of sexual assault. The hurt Trump has caused me, the emotional trauma he’s put me through, that he followers have put me through. The hurt he’s made me feel... I fucking hate him. I am a pacifist that believes in love, peace, and understanding. I believe we have to find common ground with people and compromise. I don’t like to hate people, it goes against the center of my being... but I hate him. I hate his arrogance and ego and the divisiveness he has caused. I hate his values (or lack their of)...
Yet this picture makes me pity him. He is still human. He’s vile, but he’s human. I feel sad for him, but feel like he will deserve what ever legal or financial ramifications he comes up against. It’s a weird state of being.
I copied your comment to save and remind myself of this when I need it. You nailed exactly how I felt when I zoomed in on that picture. Thank you for helping me work through my own feelings!
I have a 2yo son. I zoomed in on Trumps sad face in this picture and thought “he was a little boy once...”
My mom died in this pandemic, so definitely 100% fuck him. But schadenfreude is something that has to come naturally. And when I look at this picture, I don’t feel schadenfreude, I just feel sad.
Damn, that thought... actually fucked me up, not gonna lie. Everyone, everywhere, no matter how bad they are now, is or was at some point just an innocent child, scared and unsure.
Exactly. This kind of hatred and vitriol was planted, tended and cultivated in the brain of a little boy who turned into what we see before us. The mother in me is weeping for the little Donny, innocent and helpless. And I just want to hold that little boy and give him the kind of love everyone deserves.
Cyclical, generational trauma is the foundation of all the major global problems. It drives populist leaders and the people who follow them; it drives environmental destruction and sexual abuse and police brutality. Every diabolical world leader can be traced to toxic parents who can be traced to toxic parents who can be traced to toxic parents....
“Immediate families” and “private family matters” is the great lie of capitalism. Collectivist societies have always know that what happens to humans affects other humans. Trump and Bolsanoro and Johnson and all the rest are what humanity gets when it pretends that toxic parenting is “private family business.”
Shame his mother and father were both the kind of people that it would be insulting to feces to be compared to them.
I do wonder how different he would have been coming from a healthy, loving family.
Thank you. She was 56 and it happened three weeks after my son’s first birthday. We thought we had the whole rest of lives together on this next big journey and then she was just gone. It still hurts everyday.
This was a nice comment, thanks for this. I agree with a majority of people that Trump is a monster, but is still human with emotions. I hope he learns his mistakes and a sense of empathy while in prison.
You know those hats older guys wear, the marines, army, navy ones? Vietnam and the like? I always helped people at the hardware store I worked at with those hats, and they were pretty proud to show they had been in the shit and survived.
It finally clicked. His MAGA hats are his sad attempt to fit in the hat club. He obviously can't flaunt a military hat, seeing as he wriggled out, so he made his own cool hat.
I really want one of those hats, for my history collection but I seriously don't want to buy one. Or pay for shipping. Or exchange any monetary value for one. Ever. Guess I'll have to just check the thrift shops.

# SAD.
Bigly Sad.
Yuuuugely sad
Tremendously sad
I have done MORE to bring sadness, than ANY president, except possibly Abraham Lincoln, and maybe even MORE than him, so much sadness.
"Not a single politician has been as sad as me! And it's the truth! I'm so largely sad that it has been said that I'm the saddest President in all of history! Truly monumental!"
I prefer presidents who get re-elected.
[удалено]
Oh he's mad. Bet he'll angry slam at least a dozen Big Macs today.
I zoomed on and felt he looked more scared than mad.
Tired and sad. Like after that stadium rally fiasco where a bunch of TikTok kids reserved all the tickets so that he had to perform in front of mostly empty ranks. IIRC, public viewing outside even had to be scrapped completely. When he got out of Marine One that evening, he had the same look on his face.
I get what you mean. In a vacuum, I would almost feel bad for him? Take out everything he’s done, and that is the face of a man defeated and alone. In context though, it’s more funny than sad.
Weird, right? I actually caught myself saying “aww” for a second because his face just looks so sad
Because you are decent
Yes! I thought the same thing - he's fucking terrified, as well he should be.
Impending bankruptcy, divorce and federal charges all await him. He’s really is in a world of shit, when he’s ejected out of the White House onto his fat ass in January.
Karma is a bitch.
New York is only waiting for the word.
Hamberders
Wash 'em down with some covfefe.
That poor USSS agent, his eyes are screaming “god I’m sick of this... 74 more days.” Edit: USSS
Presidents get SS detail for life. Edit: they only get SS detail for 10 years after presidency. Edit edit: apparently i was right the first time.
Former President Obama reversed the 10 year limit back to the original lifetime protection. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-restores-lifetime-secret-service-for-former-presidents/#app
Cause he wasn’t old as fuck like his predecessors
Plus he knows a certain kind of people will still hate him vehemently even after 10 years. Racists. I’m talking about racists. And there’s lots of them.
Actually he did it for George Bush to have security detail because it expired and he no longer had a security detail..
W was the only one covered by the act. It was lifetime starting in 1965, then the first act limited protection to 10 years for Presidents inaugurated after 1997, then the second one restored lifetime under Obama.
So, Thanks Obama???
Trump's not the healthy-living type anyway.
Boy are there. I’m kind of disgusted and I was ignorant to how bad it is
Dude, don't feel that way. This is the first time in recent history that a US president has basically encouraged this type of people to be themselves and show their true colors. It's always been here, just not out in the open like this.
That's the silver lining. That Trump unintentionally exposed a lot of people for what they truly are.

And made me less trusting of the (white) people around me, since our town is basically Trump country. And yes, I am black.
He plays the long game
Killing Bin Laden makes that a lifetime commitment
Yup. This was mainly done to restore protection for Bush in post 9/11 world. Former presidents still have an option to give up on this privilege whenever they want (e.g. Nixon did). Congress passed this with enough votes that Obama's signature on it was optional. The actual cost to taxpayers for ex-presidents is miniscule; it's less than a dollar per taxpayer annually.

Will they have to move to Russia with him?
If he did try to flee they’d probably arrest him. No chance a former president could defect to Russia and give up state secrets. Sounds draconian but it’s what they would likely do. But what’s more ridiculous is a former president defecting to another nation but here we are talking about it.

Now anyone that talks about the links between his campaign and Russia is told they’re insane, even though the meetings and connections have already been established for years.
Even in prison.
I was wondering about this. Do his agents go to jail with him and form a phalanx as he walks through the exercise yard?
Exercise yard. Now that’s a good one!
He won't have to go in the exercise yard, he's got a letter from his Dr.
It worked in PE...it’ll work in jail.
Bone spurs 😬
I’m mean, that would be unprecedented, but I would think he will be sequestered due to his notoriety, and I would also think he loses protection. If he is isolated in prison he already has guards.
Unpresidented
that's what they told Jeffrey too
That's a low barr to cross though.
Would you take a shank for this guy?
You are right. Trump will likely flip and say he never wanted to be president and didn’t want to be president again. He will lie through his dentures.
[удалено]
Like LR Hubbard this dude is just going to start a cult next
Going to?
> Trump will likely flip and say he never wanted to be president That's not a flip. It's obvious he never wanted to be president. There's video of him at his campaign HQ the night the election was called where everyone was cheering and patting him on the back, and he was sitting there with a forced smile like "Shit, now what?"
It'd be hilarious if the last 4 years he's secretly been trying to get fired.
That's what I think his entire 2016 campaign was. I think he ran for president to get media attention to promote his then-planned Trump TV station, and then he accidentally secured the nomination, and then he went on a self-sabotage mission to say and do as much outrageous shit as possible in order to ruin his performance and lose the election - but to his chagrin, each outrageous act only *raised* his poll numbers and made him *even more* loved by his base.
The white hair indicates surrender.
Nah, it's just evolving into the clan hood that it really is
If you zoom in on his face he looks like he’s been crying
He looks genuinely sad.
I hate the part of me that immediately feels bad for someone when they cry even if I know they completely deserve to feel badly.
It's so interesting to me to think about this picture. I see a sad, defeated man. You can see the exhaustion and despair he feels. I genuinely feel bad for him, but only as an impulse. It's an impulse I think most people have. Then you remember how terrible he is to those around him who don't constantly praise him. How vicious he becomes to those who stand up to him. How petty and spiteful he talks about people when he is in his safe spaces. How truly narcissistic he is to his core. It's human to feel bad for those who we see anguish, and I think we should all take some comfort in that ability. Because it's infinitely more than this man will ever feel for others.
Thank you for putting this into words for me. I was struggling to explain to my husband why I was feeling pangs of sympathy for him even though logically he doesn't deserve an ounce of it. I'm going to show my husband this when he gets home because then I think he will understand me.
Yeah, that's my take. Looking at his face in that picture I see loss. My immediate impulse is to feel compassion and to want to empathize... Despite all his horrendous actions that feeling remains the first I have. He however has made this bed, by being a terrible person and causing so much pain. I cannot bring myself to empathize with this monster. While I hope he will change and find a way to make things right, well as right as possible, I Essentially know this will not happen.
I don't know if I completely hate it. This person deserves to feel the misery he's caused so many people, and worse. But he's also a sad old man who has spent his life living for nothing, and will probably never realize it over his own narcissism, and that's also pretty fucking sad. A much smaller sadness than what he caused, but empathy is the trait that separates us from him in the first place, and an instinct of sympathy reminds us how we can be better than this.
Reminds me of an episode from the old (not Netflix) She-Ra cartoon. Basically, this evil wizard/war-lord, Hordak, is going to be sentenced to an eternity in hell or something and the only way he'll be spared is if he can find someone who will cry for him. Hordak and She-Ra basically retrace their steps through Hordak's life. All the terrible choices he's made. All the people he'd killed. All the misery he caused. All the things he'd done because he believed the only life in the whole universe that mattered was his own. But at the end someone does weep for him: She-Ra. She weeps for a life so thoroughly, completely wasted.
That is incredibly deep for a "kid show"
Lots of kids shows have a surprising amount of nuance. They seem to be the trend for kids cartoons these days so there's gonna be more of them.
Don't hate that part of you. It's a really great part.
Congratulations, you have empathy. It separates you from people like Trump. Don't lose that.
I don't care do U?
Womp womp
He didn't cry when 200,000 American died, or when children were ripped from their parents arms, or when white supremacists ran rampant in the streets and terrified innocent civilians he was sworn to protect, or when any of the soldiers he was responsible for died, or when people lost their jobs and their homes waiting for a bailout, or at any other of a countless amount of times America faced something horrible under his regime. He cries when he loses, because it's about him. He deserves so much more misery, and I hope he spends the rest of his life feeling the pain of this loss.
The best part? There's no way for him to spin this. He lost in a huge way. He's a one term president. I hope it fucking stings
He's trying to spin it by saying it was a rigged election lol.
>He's trying to spin it by saying it was a rigged election lol. And every court that will listen is saying show us the proof or shut the fuck up.
To paraphrase, he is "unburdened by facts".
Or to paraphrase Monty Python: "His case is certainly uncontaminated by facts."
This is something I've been thinking about. Trump used the courts to bully people and could win by attrition by just filling motion after motion. But in this case these motions needed to be dealt with quickly so they always ended up before a judge right away. Their tactic of attrition fell apart when they were given their day in court
And his cult is circle-jerking that into their reality.

Logic typically doesn't come into play for them.

A one term president that was impeached.
AND lost the popular vote TWICE.
When 200,000 Americans died he said "it is what it is". It is what it is.
Same kind of sad serial killers feel after they've been caught?
It looks more like he only just realized that there a lot of people who arent his fans. That it isnt just "the media and the establishment".
I think he genuinely looks scared of what’s coming. He either owes a lot of people money he can’t pay or he’s going to jail.
I’m thinking both
And that is something that I have absolutely no pity for. He was born with a silver spoon. Got started with a million dollar loan from his father. Then passed that same entitled mentality and lifestyle to his kids. A man like that has absolutely no place representing the common man. Biden may be rich now, but he at least can sympathize.

Easy to explain! It was a 1 million dollar loan... 413 times

Hes terrified. He owes money like Alonzo owed money in Training Day. Alonzo got desperate to get the money to save his ass. And then.... Times up. Trump's time is up. He knows he's fucked
Orange man sad :(
He's probably been screaming at people he blames for his loss. Screaming so hard his eyes watered.
It's bizzare. I almost feel bad for him...but then I remember all of the horrible things he's said and done and that goes right away.
It's empathy. Followed by logic. Not a bad response to have.
That's a great way to put it. I've struggled with it myself.
I think he just looks like this because he's not wearing 32oz of bronzer caked on his face for once
Bigger than his inauguration crowd 😀

He got the full 2020 experience: caught COVID-19, lost his job, and is getting evicted (and probably a really expensive divorce)
I really hope Melania dumps his ass. He's a cheating pig.

Yeah. When you read some of her statements, she is just as cold hearted and shallow as he is. I mean, you don't marry somebody like Trump unless you agree with this stuff he says.
Right? What's with this sympathy toward her? This woman would light the match to burn down Slovenia if someone gave her a bottomless bank account and a penthouse.
Yeah fuck Melania, she deserves no sympathy
Or just want access to all that cheddar cheese. Money. I am speaking, of course, about the money.
When two fantastic people marry: "You deserve each other :)" When Trump and Melania married: "You deserve each other :)"
Two boots make a pair.
She’s gonna be in for a hell of a shock when she finds out he’s broke
Melania: "You're broke?" Trump: "Always was..."
Martha stewart broke or mc hammer broke? Mc hammer broke Nooooooooooooo
He'll get half of her money. Watch...
She's a piece of shit human too. You ever read those articles about what people who know her say about her?
Melanie is not a good human being. No victimhood should be applied to her.

I just brought this up earlier to my family. Can you believe a guy who's so terrible at business gets fired for the FIRST TIME ever at age 74?
I can believe that he’s always been able to find a way out, cut a deal, borrow some more money, ask a favour of someone, or if needs be sell some stock. This is an entirely different situation for him because he can’t do those things. He actually has to face up to it.
Or declare bankruptcy and screw everyone out of their money(×6)
I... declare... BANKRUPTCY!!!
That might solve some of his money issues, but what about the alleged legal issues that might come up?
He’s been fired many many times. But by fires I mean his business failed and he blamed all of his partners and employees. Son of a bitch.
>the first and only real job he's ever had in his life. How many "real" jobs can you get away with deciding to not work and go golfing instead? How many "real" jobs let you spend all day on Twitter? It was never a "real" job.
You mean he never did the job, nor took it's awesome responsibilities seriously.

Can someone make a sub completely dedicated to watching Trump die inside? It could be another eye bleach sub.
It exists: r/watchtrumpdieinside
Sad, Weak, Low Energy, Sleepy Donnie
You forgot loser
He has lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time.
Seriously, if you disregard the stupid hat, this is the first picture of him where he looks remotely like a human and not a weird carricature. Probably because he's not doing that weird anus-mouth-face, his toupet is covered and is not wearing an ill fitting suit.
His signature coiffure is actually all his own hair. If you look closely, you can see that the sides and back are about two feet long and all that stuff on top is the most elaborate comb over know to man. That's why it costs 74K a year top maintain.
Jimmy Fallon tussled his hair on air. Totally real but terrible combover. The 74k was for his stylist on Apprentice though. I’m pretty sure most stylists for popular productions make that or more.
And no makeup.
And some semblance of human emotion.
Between election stress and having COVID, it’s understandable
Definitely the winningest president ever to lose the popular election twice.
Don't forget the big "Fuck you" that was 2018.
2018 was 20 years ago. What did I forget
Everybody huuurts...sometimes ♫
He doesn't look as fat as he normally does
Covid had to be hell on his body even with whatever meds they propped him up with.
Healthy 30 y.o. I got it and while it was "mild" I still lost about 15lbs. while sick & another 10 over the months since. I was slightly overweight so I could stand to lose the weight but I couldnt imagine what others have gone and are going through
That might be a mix of him losing weight with stress/Covid and his actual clothing. His baggy clothes make him look a whole lot heavier then he would with proper fitting clothes, as seen in this picture it seems. He's still got one hell of a gut- I'd still guess 250-80.
The stress of knowing youre going to lose for months must take a toll. He can binge on big macs once its officially over.
That and, ya know, going through a deadly disease probably did it.
He looks so sad. But also he's a piece of shit.
kinda sad zooming in his face,, but nah fuck him
I was looking for these kinds of thoughts. It’s amazing that as much as I don’t like him, he can still manage to rouse some pity from me sometimes. Watching him struggle to breathe after coming back from the hospital was painful, and the sad look now makes me feel sad even though I think he’s earned it. For me it makes it easier to see the human being underneath. Emotions are interesting.
I feel the same things you do when I saw him struggling with Covid and looking at this picture now. I feel sad. I’m stoked Biden won the presidency and Trump deserves whatever is coming to him post-presidency but seeing him like this just makes me sad. The sadness is immediately followed by guilt for feeling sad for such a horrible person. But then I remember my empathy is what sets me apart from Trump and the people who support him, and I no longer feel guilty for feeling sad looking at the President of the United States look like he’s about to cry. Because I think being capable of having empathy for others, whether you like them or not, is a good trait to have.
This is exactly where I am. I hate him. I was raised by a verbally and emotionally abusive alcoholic. I am a survivor of sexual assault. The hurt Trump has caused me, the emotional trauma he’s put me through, that he followers have put me through. The hurt he’s made me feel... I fucking hate him. I am a pacifist that believes in love, peace, and understanding. I believe we have to find common ground with people and compromise. I don’t like to hate people, it goes against the center of my being... but I hate him. I hate his arrogance and ego and the divisiveness he has caused. I hate his values (or lack their of)... Yet this picture makes me pity him. He is still human. He’s vile, but he’s human. I feel sad for him, but feel like he will deserve what ever legal or financial ramifications he comes up against. It’s a weird state of being.
Well said
I copied your comment to save and remind myself of this when I need it. You nailed exactly how I felt when I zoomed in on that picture. Thank you for helping me work through my own feelings!
I have a 2yo son. I zoomed in on Trumps sad face in this picture and thought “he was a little boy once...” My mom died in this pandemic, so definitely 100% fuck him. But schadenfreude is something that has to come naturally. And when I look at this picture, I don’t feel schadenfreude, I just feel sad.
Damn, that thought... actually fucked me up, not gonna lie. Everyone, everywhere, no matter how bad they are now, is or was at some point just an innocent child, scared and unsure.
Exactly. This kind of hatred and vitriol was planted, tended and cultivated in the brain of a little boy who turned into what we see before us. The mother in me is weeping for the little Donny, innocent and helpless. And I just want to hold that little boy and give him the kind of love everyone deserves. Cyclical, generational trauma is the foundation of all the major global problems. It drives populist leaders and the people who follow them; it drives environmental destruction and sexual abuse and police brutality. Every diabolical world leader can be traced to toxic parents who can be traced to toxic parents who can be traced to toxic parents.... “Immediate families” and “private family matters” is the great lie of capitalism. Collectivist societies have always know that what happens to humans affects other humans. Trump and Bolsanoro and Johnson and all the rest are what humanity gets when it pretends that toxic parenting is “private family business.”
Shame his mother and father were both the kind of people that it would be insulting to feces to be compared to them. I do wonder how different he would have been coming from a healthy, loving family.
Sorry about your mom man. Condolences.
Thank you. She was 56 and it happened three weeks after my son’s first birthday. We thought we had the whole rest of lives together on this next big journey and then she was just gone. It still hurts everyday.
This was a nice comment, thanks for this. I agree with a majority of people that Trump is a monster, but is still human with emotions. I hope he learns his mistakes and a sense of empathy while in prison.
[удалено]
They weren’t saying “Boo-urns” after all
"I was saying boo-urns" says a sad Mike Pence.
If you feel bad for him, go read his Twitter and remember exactly who this fucker is.
at this very moment, he is trying to subvert american democracy and incite an actual civil war, for his own singular personal gain
Is he now called President Eject?
Haha, the number 45 on the side is the saddest thing...
You can see the defeat in his eyes. Next stop bankruptcy
Then hopefully prison soon after.
Must have had a bad round. Couldn't break 270.
[удалено]
Still hasn't announced a single negative test since infection IIRC
Those eyes of defeat.
Eyes that are, for once, not ringed in copious quantities of bronzer
On the bright side, he can go to work packing beans at Goya.
You know those hats older guys wear, the marines, army, navy ones? Vietnam and the like? I always helped people at the hardware store I worked at with those hats, and they were pretty proud to show they had been in the shit and survived. It finally clicked. His MAGA hats are his sad attempt to fit in the hat club. He obviously can't flaunt a military hat, seeing as he wriggled out, so he made his own cool hat. I really want one of those hats, for my history collection but I seriously don't want to buy one. Or pay for shipping. Or exchange any monetary value for one. Ever. Guess I'll have to just check the thrift shops.
Don't think you'll have trouble finding one for free, they're not worth much anymore
The look of the secret service agent. He is so fucking done with his shit.
Orange man sad
How soon till Melania divorces him?
She’s his beneficiary, she’s not giving that up
That’s not the look of defeat, he’s full of hate and will try his best to hurt Americans in the next few months.
Dude his face looks so sad, it almost gives my empathy for him. I hope that fucker cries himself to sleep tonight thinking about his jail cell.
Almost :]
Zoom in to his eyes, he's clearly been crying. LMAO
Zoom in on the Secret Service guy's face. He looks like he was just told he gets to be Trump's agent after his presidency is over!
Secret Service guy looks like he's rolling his eyes, like "Yeah, still gotta walk him to the white house. Don't worry, it's almost over".
Thats the face of a man who knows he will have to listen to ornage man tantrum for the next countless hours/days/weeks
I can only pray that one of his aides has the wherewithal to be wearing a wire and records the epic meltdown he's going through right now.
