    I was pretty sure it was gonna be a shit show as soon as the election results came in, but the fact the dumbass lied so obviously and pathetically only hours into his term really ironed in how fucked the next four years were gonna be.

      I was one of those idiots going back and watching old Trump interviews and thinking, “Well, see, this dude can’t be the total idiot he’s putting on display today. Maybe he’s playing some crazy game and he won’t be as bad as he looks like he’s going to be.”

      That lie made it clear to me that my stupid theory was no good. He won, there was no point in playing a character.

      He got fame and attention for being exactly what he is. He doesn’t need to be anything else.
