    He should have just kept doing The Apprentice, literally everyone would be happier and generally better off.

      Thats the thing everyone forgets. He never planned on winning. He didnt want to win. Go watch him right after they announced victory. The man was lost. The plan was always do the show circuit and play victim and rake in the money without any responsibility for his shitty actions.

      I wonder how many people would still be alive of he’d done that, between pandemic mismanagement, vaccine hesitancy that he championed, and various other things that don’t come to mind off the top of my head, he’s got a significant amount of blood on his hands, directly and indirectly.

      Him being elected will only make it worse.
