It should be 100%, since this is so ridiculously obvious.
The guy made billions…so far. There is no fucking way he’s prioritizing shit other than self-enrichment and self-aggrandizement.
He’s so unfit for office it hurts to really consider.
Yes it’s an incredible injustice that he’s harvesting wealth in the course of self enrichment.
However, he’s not actually doing the job of being POTUS. He’s only interested in big grandiose definitive measures, and isn’t capable of getting involved in the nuance of mitigating systemic problems.
The harm being done is incalculable and effects everyone across the globe, not only Americans.
Somebody cue the video of Jason Lee saying “isn’t that the truth?” from Chasing Amy (after the Star Wars rant).
I can’t imagine how people think anything else. He has no positive publicity, in the 80s and 90s he was constantly getting shit on in interviews.
I blame that fucking game show he was given. I guess before that some rappers thought he had street cred or some shit.
I mean people that were at least marginally aware would know he was a jackass long before. Did anyone reading/watching American Psycho think the protagonist worships donnie for justifiable reasons?
It’s not just his game show, imo. Not to push back on what you said. Really just to say I believe it’s much wider and longer than that. I can’t say I know the full impact if any, but whenever he was mentioned and displayed personally or mockingly it was always the same, rich guy everyone fawns over.
I might be telling on myself a little here, but I just rewatched an episode (about 30 seconds in) of Saved by the Bell, with a dating game show partly made up of the show’s normal cast as the contestants. Screech plays “Donald Chump”. He’s introduced and he fans a big wad of cash. I suppose it’s making fun of Trump, with the name used and maybe how it all played out, but I think the imagery might not convey only mockery. This is just one of many mentions, in many media, about the man over the years. How many people are just name dropped like that over and over?
