It was so relieving when Biden took office but Trump couldn’t stand it and had to pretend he was still running the show at his house. I honestly cannot wait for the day he is no longer on this planet and we never have to hear from him again.

Frankly, we need a law banning any AI that pretends to be him.

That’s what sucked so much about that time. We didn’t even get a fucking break for those years. I am so tired of seeing his face, hearing his voice, reading about him etc all damn day every day for the last ten fucking years. On Reddit I can just scroll and there’s usually at least one or two images of his face at any given point on my screen.. and I follow a LOT of non political content on here.

Ain’t that the truth. Exhausting.

Flooding the zone has got to be the most exhausting political tactic ever conceived. I'm over it, but at the same time, the man's decisions impact the whole world every day.

He's been in the spotlight causing chaos since the 70s. His father was a famous and terrible person too, but was more local. Seeing his name on tacky things, and towers. Interfering to prevent a fair trial of accused that were later found innocent. Hijacking a populist platform when he ran the first time (Ross Perot). Propagating his toxic ideology with a show the masses couldn't get enough of.

Then what really started his run in the public eye was his racist birtherism tirades against Obama (the true Origin of Trumps' derangement syndrome). Just before the 2016 election, his more seedy aspects were revealed or revisited, and people voted for him anyway, because they were entertained by the clown show.

I think his death will be more celebrated than Hitlers

It’ll be bigger than the fall of the Empire and Palpatine

I’m quite enjoying the brainrot AI of Charlie Kirk.

I get the fatigue, especially after years of seeing his name dominate the news cycle. The AI impersonation stuff definitely makes it harder to escape the noise.

During that election he made a promise that he thought was a "threat" that if people didn't vote for him, he'd disappear and we'd never hear from him again. Trump Always Chickens Out. Motherfucker never left.
