It couldn't be any more on the nose with this unhinged freak.

That scraping noise is the goalposts being dragged further into the shit.

In his defence he doesn't understand what either one of those terms mean

In his defence

Stop it. Even backhanded insults are more than than that traitorous shitstain deserves.

Undo a century of global hegemony by being a self-absorbed idiot and things tend to go poorly.

He'd realize that if he wasn't a self-absorbed idiot.

I want him to realize everything, just before he dies.

I want him to realize everything as quickly as possible.

Also I'm not disagreeing with you.

It's amazing how people will defend him somehow more than he will even defend himself. They kept saying "art of the deal" and " he's playing FOUR DEE chess". He gets on TV "uuuuh people freaked out so I stopped, a recession would actually be winning"

Well, I am depressed, and it's because of that fat fuck and his cronies.

That's because he doesn't understand that they're the same thing.
