                That you believed it when you were told he's THE WORST PRESIDENT EVAR!!!!1!!!111!ONE don't make it so. He's fucked the nation up a lot less than most so far. Of course you're not going to look at what's actually been done during his administration because you can't get past ORANGE MAN BAD. Classic Trump Derangement Syndrome. I still don't like the guy, aside from his trolling, but you folks are losing your entire fucking minds over shit that doesn't even matter.

                          If you want to assert that the guy's shit you have to lay out a case as to why

                          I've done it, otherwise wouldn't have reach the idea "worst president that I can remember".
                          Exposing it it's a matter of cost/benefit for me and my assessment against "laying out the case" is too long, with many factors based on my personal experience.
                          Start from the "Politics - the art of the possible" and the foolishness in thinking that he can make a deal in any circumstances only because he's Trump.

                          otherwise you're just talking out your ass like everyone else who knows fuck all about what any presidents have actually done but has amazingly strong feelings on the matter.

                          I beg to disagree, but that's another inconsequential matter.
                          Still doesn't make me (or anyone doing so) an idiot.

                          Now, homework for you: go back to my remark (the one with 'a stupid reason to elect Trump or anyone') and tell me what in there lead you to believe I'm sharing blindly a partisan belief (even more, in a game I have no stake).

        Racism jokes are only funny if they avoid mentioning any actual race by using variables such as ${race} or ${ethnicity} in the body of the joke.

        Otherwise, no racism jokes.
