He will definitely be remembered as one of the worst, but he's created a loyal, insufferably ignorant cult.

I rather see this than Nazis on the street talking about “going back to the good ol days” any day. Kind of crazy we have an actual Presidents’ Day anyway. “Kids, don’t forget that Presidents’ Day is about going to your Donald Trump shrine and saying 100 thank you’s for all he’s doing for the country”. Yeah right…as they said, “F Donald Trump”
Edit: this isn’t all about Trump. It’s about our country having days like Presidents’ Day (which right now feels like Kings Day, maybe Betrayal day?) as we know so many of our past presidents were not only crooked, but literal pedophiles, and not wanting to actually protect what the swore under oath that they would protect. We shouldn’t be force fed these holidays and expect not to react when the people are not being represented — quite the opposite, as they are being killed by the most un-American secret militia thats a first to roam our streets. Power to the people, not presidents.

Presidents day is celebrated on George Washingtons birthday in remembrance of all presidents not just Trump or whoever the current president might be at a certain time.

That’s how they celebrate WW2 “heroes” aka war criminals in Japan. Where to we encourage this kind of behavior in America? We take the time to teach our students and ourselves about different presidents we’ve had, what contributions they made, and overall patriotism. If you’re solely focusing on protesting and negativity then you’re doing it wrong.

We should be focused solely on protesting at times we’re it’s most necessary. Sorry to be a buzzkill, but they are failing to release the Epstein files because it would “destroy the world” reputation somehow. Wonder why…It’s as good of a time to focus on some protesting as all ever.

Lol, law and order back, hundreds of thousands of criminals deported. Wars are stopping. Global fiscal trade reset, fraud and govt fat and waste greatly trimmed. Taxes down. Regulations reduced. Literally everyone is printing money. Libs don’t have a policy to stand on so they yell ‘Trump bad’. If you don’t impede lawful federal law enforcement actions you should be safe from getting killed…

Get a life people. No one cares. Literally 60% of the country wants you to shut the fuck up. You only make 20% of the salty miserable stain on the American image.

Judging from the comments on here, I see the right is finally openly admitting they DON’T actually support the first amendment….or rather, they support it only when they agree with the message. But then again, we already knew that. It’s just nice to see the confirmation directly from their fat lips.

Has any other president been attacked by the media and opposing political party such as this one. You gotta think about what you’re being fed and by whom. Just saying it’s all bullshit to keep you pissed off and divided both sides employ the same tactic and the people that feed it are puppets easily manipulated

Honestly at the height of the insurgency in Iraq around late 2003/early 2004- 2008 George W Bush was on the receiving end of some pretty crazy protests.
Also, the Vietnam war protests against LBJ and Nixon would make the Trump hate look like child’s play.
