    America was good enough for him to stay and make millions. As soon as things aren’t perfect, he wants to run to where the grass is greener. That’s a good reason to be angry.

      Would you prefer he stay in the US and continue funding this regime?

      Trump cares about money and power. Taking away some money is about the strongest message a non-politician can send. It also doesn’t stop him speaking out, or funding opposition. He can still do everything else

      The only real result is that the US is losing his tax dollars and businesses. That’s what you’re complaining about.

            He could get out there and energize protests. In the country he got so much out of. While its citizens rot with no healthcare he lived like a king off our labor. Fuck every one of these people.

              Exactly, he’s made so much money off the American public and when stuff gets bad he leaves. Normally lemmy doesn’t defend the rich but here we are.

        America will outlast Trump. The Dems need another candidate with the campaign skills of Bill Clinton or Barack Obama to make him and his followers totally forgettable. Republicans will triumph as long as the Dems keep pushing presidential candidates with weak campaign skills on us.

          I don’t really see the difference in general doctrine between Trump and the others.

          Trump is just more in your face, but for the rest he is just another US president.

          Gimme one that would rediscuss the role of Israel (or even its existence) and who will actually support Ukraine and then maybe we can talk.

          This isn’t just Trump. People want to act like this is one man. The United States does not function. It will not get better after Trump leaves.

          We need someone stronger than them since they still compromised with conservatives. We need someone who will control the party with an iron fist and yank everything left instead of just wanting to return to the status quo. Someone willing to tell every Republican and their supporters to go fuck themselves.

            I hope that someone is AOC. It would be an extra spicy repudiation to these bastards if it was GASP, a woman, who reformed America and is a central figure in the history books.
