This reminds me of so many comments from Americans saying how embarrassing Biden is as a president and that no one takes 🇺🇸'Murica🦅 seriously anymore under the Democrats. It was weird to read as a foreigner because I loosely remember what Trump was like. And now here we are again. Hope Americans are proud.

Nahhh... we're pretty fucking disappointed... Least everyone I know with half a brain.

[-] WaxiestSteam69@lemmy.world 34 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I wish I knew someone who was disappointed. The only two people in my life that aren't Trumpers are my daughter and her fiance. Everyone else thinks that gas will get back to $1/gallon and food prices will return to pre Covid levels on Jan 21.

Sheeeesh, sorry to hear you're living deep in the red. Proud of my state for being a spot of blue in a sea of red, but hot damn that election map was bleak.

It's so wild how absolutely bonkers the political climate has become just in my lifetime. There was some real optimism when I got to vote for Obama as an 18 year old. Would've never seen all this coming...

It's always projection with conservatives.

What is actually embarrassing is that the US elected Reagan, twice, then G.W Bush, twice, and now Donald Trump, twice.

As the great scholar Bush once said:

There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again

The first time I flew out of the US after Trump became president I was so embarrassed of being American because of all the questions about his crazy ass. When I landed back in the US and saw his portrait on the wall in the airport, I stared at it perplexingly trying to understand what the fuck his stupid face was doing there….then it hit me that it’s there cause he was the president. Trump is a laughing stock and him at the helm of the US makes all Americans laughing stock for allowing this country to elect an orange makeup-caked, lying, shyster.

So glad we get to do it again!!

Honestly, in my social circle we're all kinda treating it like this... strange, self-inflicted, natural disaster. Like we can't even really joke about it, still. It's like we all know it's gonna be bad, the only question is how bad it's going to be. There's a lot I'm hoping is over-reaction, but honestly that's a pretty shitty thing to hope for and a hard hope to maintain all things considered.

The White House has one of the best chefs and kitchens in the world, and this dumbass will be ordering McD's and KFC for 4 years.

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 64 points 4 months ago

I hope so. Less cost to the taxpayer, and the high calorie and sodium count will send Trump to an early grave.

[-] EvacuateSoul@lemmy.world 42 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

The taxpayer doesn't pay for his meals, actually. Came as a surprise to the Obamas they said once.

2014 link: https://www.theguardian.com/money/us-money-blog/2014/nov/28/obama-bill-white-house-thanksgiving

Didn't look to hard for the Obama quote, but Nancy Reagan's reaction is in that one.

Oh the McD orders will be on top of everything. The kitchen will just throw away a lot more food.

Musk being best buds with the President of the USA is legit friggin' scary, speaking as a foreigner.

Then you remember that Trump, and it becomes terrifying.

[-] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 50 points 4 months ago

Hate to say it, but the US isn’t the only country that is fucked. The impact is going to be felt worldwide and in a harsh way.

We’ll see how long places like Ukraine and Taiwan will last.

Ugh, the more I think about it the more I realize how bad it’s going to be.

In fairness to him, he looks genuinely uncomfortable just holding it for this paid publicity shot. Not enough raw bear meat in it for him.

Boycott McDonalds, sponsors of Fascism 2025.

Wow, I can say with confidence that this is the first time I've ever wished for a plane to crash. Just one patriotic pilot is all it would take.

I really don't like that these shitstains make me feel such vitriol...

I wanted to buy a Cybertruck (don't judge me, my kid loves it). We also love McDonald's.

I no longer want anything Tesla or even want to eat at McDonald's anymore.

Not a single sauce opened, no bites taken, nothing removed from an annoying tray lip and placed on the table like a real person. No sign whatsoever that they are actually eating this junk. The half eaten fries are staged as eating without the ketchup that is right there on the tray is quite unlikely.

This is a staged ad. It is meant to be a message to others in corporate America, and for marketing to convenient idiots to quote the Russian term.

It's been so odd seeing Trump cabinet picks come in because it feels like he is just picking conservative celebrities, rather then actual politicians. Like it's still kinda crazy that fucking Elon Musk is gonna be in government.

Wow can you imagine the inane conversations that happen sitting at a table with these assholes? That literallly sounds like torture.

It’s like Fiona Apple said about sitting in a private theater doing coke with Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson was a catalyst to never do coke again, this would be a catalyst to never breathing or living on this earth again.
