        He’s not. He’s doing it because he thinks nobody will literally build monuments to him. Not because they think he’s an asshole, but because he thinks no one BUT HIM will be able to do it.

        He’s a narcissist through and through. Taking things into his own hands because it’s the only way he’ll maintain power and control.

      I don’t know, but my 2 yaers old does this too: “you NEVER let me have chocolate!”

      So in my head I see Trump also saying “NOBODY will ever build me a monument” while pouting, crossing his arms and wiggling his shoulders back and forth for emphasis.

      My partner is a clinical psychologist. She says this is one of those lines that gives away a patient’s narcissistic personality disorder diagnosis. Because a narcissist never feels about themselves how they need others to feel about them.

        i guess what surprised me was not that he understands it but the fact that he admitted it publicly - people will hate me after i’m gone

    Not only nobody will build monuments for him, I genuinely hope the Dems have the balls to tear down every stupid little shit he did. And seizing Trump tower and turning it into rent controlled housing would be the cherry on top. Also, turn Mar-a-Lago into a public park and name it Biden Park

        That’s genuinely way better.

        Frankly, Biden should not be memorialized either. He and the idiot fucking brain trust that is the DNC/DCCC were the ones who gave away the Republic to these kleptocratic fascists. My fury at him and Harris and the rest of the party establishment that enabled the second orange regime to win a second stint is, shall we say, not small. They did like, what, 20-30% of things reasonably well, and then just didn’t fucking pay attention to anyone but their fucking consultants for everything else, and that entire class of MBA fuckwits is famously sycophantic and Duning-Kruger-esque.

      I’d like to see him live just long enough to watch everything he did get undone.

      Sadly, I don’t I’ll even live that long.,

      Any of his properties should be seized, any of those named after him should be get rid of and renamed.

      Including this building.

    I say we built mommets of him every year after his death and burn them as a reminder to never let a shitty fuck like him ever rise again.

      I’m 100% with you, problem is that in 4-8 years after Trump is gone, and with a Democrat as President, half the American population will have forgotten. Just like they did after Bush, and just like they did after 4 years of Trump’s first term.

      It’s like half the American population is insane and never learn!?

        When you artificially restrict your options in the voting booth (big shout out to First-past-the-post voting), solutions are few and far between.

        Elections become who can be the 2nd worst, not the best. That’s why the democrats wanted Trump to be free to run again. I am sure democrats couldnt stop thinking about how bad they could be and still force people to vote for them if they could run against Trump again.

          It is true that FPTP is contrary to a well functioning democracy, but in USA it has become down to an insane option of intolerance and recklessness that since Trump was elected the first time has decidedly turned to fascism, against the less insane option.
          But it is not only FPTP, it is also the whole concept of a President with extreme powers for a democracy.
          A president like in USA will always boil down to 1 man, ultimately making it a binary option, and that man has way more power than any single person should have in a democracy.

          There is absolutely no 2nd worst about Republicans. There is no way you can reasonably argue the Democrats are worse than the Republicans.
          Republicans are the result of a feedback loop on insane rhetoric where psychopathy is interpreted as a symbol of freedom. And a government and media normalizing that psychopathic mindset.

          In many cases that side of politics and media have completely lost contact with reality. That is textbook insane!

    Instead, we’ll ensure that we tear down the ones you tried to build and we’ll prosecute your friends and family for the countless crimes they’ve committed.

    Fucking die, and then we will see what happens next.

    The world needs to take that disgusting name off of buildings, burn that horrible name from history.
    Not build more pieces of shit monuments to put an even bigger piece of shit name on it. FUCK.
