If he was a decent person I'd be wishing him well. He's not. I'm not.

@Pixxie7

captainpantbeard@ I am inclined to agree I wouldn’t put anything past him, but surely he wouldn’t go that far.
I assume you were being sarcastic? Sadly, there is no “too far” with Trump.

There is absolutely no limit to what this man will do to women (sexually assault and belittle them), children (put them in cages and throw over 8000 underage, unaccompanied asylum seekers out of the country during COVID), minorities (constantly mock, belittle, and accuse them of crimes large and small while welcoming white supremacists), and regular people who have tried to oppose him or shine a light on his bullshite.

No, falsely claiming to have COVID wouldn’t even register to him. Here’s a list of 889 atrocious things he’s done that register to the rest of us, complete with an “atrocity“ key so they can be categorized:

They are both as shady as each other. That's what I think is ridiculous.

Comparing Hilary Clinton's life and career to Trump's, how can you possibly think she's done as many shady and dubious things as he has? Even if you blame her for her husband's failings, as some people do. Women are always held to a far higher standard than men. If Trump had been a woman, even a fraction of the things it's alleged he'd done would have mean never even getting close to being a candidate.

Any way it doesn’t matter now as HC is absolutely ruined because of the bizarre claims of weird fuckery. Her twitter page is full of trolls posting hideous pics and links to her supposed hidden emails.

Windywendys · 02/10/2020 11:25

Your POV is exactly what we see here in the UK, an opposition politician, never so much as been anywhere near the wheels of power is blamed for the nations ills

She was actually running for presidency when she was investigated by the FBI. Your blind hatred of DT means you are over looking that HC is god awful too. Most people can see that both of them don’t deserve to be anywhere near politics

Because I can look at them both separately which it seems you can’t. This isn’t about lesser evils - they are both shit
Roussette · 02/10/2020 11:27

Look I’m not a DT supporter by any means but HC is no angel

Whether she is or she isn't, she isn't the POTUS is she?

This is just Corbyn talk and ridiculous.

Same with Johnson, can anyone imagine a female politician with upteen children from several different men in No 10 ?

Or for that matter a female candidate, boasting of molesting men becoming Potus?

Windywendys · 02/10/2020 11:29

I never said she was!! I was replying to a PPGrin

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 02/10/2020 11:32

They may both be shit, but one is much worse than the other. I am perfectly capable of looking at them both separately, just as I could Corbyn and Johnson at our last election. Comparing Clinton to Trump, Trump is worse. Biden to Trump, Trump is worse. Corbyn to Johnson, both dreadful in different ways, so I voted for another party because the candidate in our constituency seemed like the best option. In a two horse race, you vote for the one you think is best, or if you don't rate either of them, the least bad one.

Or you don’t vote for either. Is voting for the lesser evil the best route forward when your still going to get shafted anyway? The end result is still the same.

Of course Hilary Clinton is nowhere near as bad as Trump. That email situation was child’s play compared to the corruption Trump has been involved in!

That's certainly one of the more edgey puns I've seen on MN...

BruceAndNosh · 02/10/2020 12:20

@FredaFrogspawn

He has the most Coronavirus, of anyone ever taking a Coronavirus test. The doctor said they had to call it COVID-20, because he had too much Coronavirus to be only COVID-19. They've never seen anything like these classified test scores. Man Woman TV.
Nailed it

Maybe if you read ‘ Guilty as sin’ by Edward Klein you might have a better understanding why she is really not liked in the US as it was a best seller and what she’s been involved in. HC is really good a fronting out scandals.

I don’t think she can come back from the place she is in now. She’s fucked

BruceAndNosh · 02/10/2020 12:21

Can you imagine Trump's reaction if (God forbid) it had been Biden who tested positive?
He would have been all over Twitter yelling FAKE NEWS and accusing Biden of running scared

Notonthestairs · 02/10/2020 12:30

Why are we talking about Clinton at all?

The thread is about Trump.

I think he would show faux sympathy whilst peacocking his virility and dancing about the stage.
Derbee · 02/10/2020 12:49

All this “fellow human” bollocks is more disgusting to me than anyone wishing him dead. He told a white supremicist group to “standby”. The man is a pig.

As for his “it is what it is” about over 200,000 deaths in the US, now it also is what it is. I’m not concerned about his health one little bit. The biggest concern is that he manipulates this to his benefit, whether he actually has it or not. Disgusting man

Dontcarewhatmyusernameis · 02/10/2020 12:51

Thanks @Windywendys, looks interesting.

Roussette · 02/10/2020 12:57

For those who keep insisting on bringing Clinton up, just remember how absolutely vile he was about her when she got pneumonia on the campaign trail.
He even mimicked her fainting getting into a car to thousands at a Rally

He deserves no sympathy

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 02/10/2020 13:32

That's not how a democracy works. The electorate's job is to pick the best candidate, or the least worst one, if there's nobody great. If we all refused to vote until the ideal candidate came forward, everything would fall apart. Hilary Clinton was far from an ideal candidate, Joe Biden is in my view (as a non-American) even less ideal, but neither of them is in the same league of awfulness as Donald Trump. So if I had a vote, I'd have to use it to vote for the non-Trump candidate. Not voting makes it more likely that he wins.

Channel 4 News exposed this week how Trump's campaign team worked with Cambridge Analytica in 2016 to identify individual voters in key areas whose social media profiles indicated they might vote for Clinton but had strong views about various areas where the Trump campaign had anti-Clinton propaganda videos and fake news stories ready to post on Facebook, targeting each to precisely the voters who would most be deterred by it. The vote from African Americans in particular in many of those key areas plummeted, letting Trump through. Several of those voters were shown their individual entry in the Cambridge Analytica database and were visibly shocked. Those who didn't vote for Clinton were now bitterly regretting that decision.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Pretty fucked up that you STILL can't criticize the evil that is Trump without someone throwing in a "..but Hilary" Shows how conditioned people become

Roussette · 02/10/2020 15:02

Exactly.

4 years on and all that he has done and is planning to do. Every new low I think is it, then he goes lower.
Yet whataboutery with Hillary, it's pathetic.

Thats what i said! the FBI found nothing of note but it may have affected the result, she did after all, win the popular vote, so not that hated.
Most of what has been put out about the Clintons has Republican smear written all over it, much like our press did with Corbyn and "terrorist sympathiser" a term not used until Cameron coined it in the mid 2000's
I don't have blind hatred for DT, i just think he is totally unsuited to be POTUS, DT is mentally unstable, climate change denier, possibly in the pocket of Putin (pissing in Moscow?) & in charge of the world's largest nuclear arsenal.
He calls world leaders names, thought injecting bleach was a good idea and, like Bojo, didn't take CV seriously, killing 1000s more than otherwise would have occured ALL the world leaders who didn't take CV seriously, went on to catch it.

How is any of that a match for Clinton????

Dontcarewhatmyusernameis · 02/10/2020 15:22

I agree @Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g I’d SO vote for the non Trump candidate both then and now.
