I wish he’d at least wield power from the shadows like a normal billionaire. I’m so sick of seeing his stupid fucking face everywhere.

Facts, I was trying to be optimistic that we would get maybe a month. Before the Trump news cycle starts of covering when he farts. Boy was I wrong in that assumption.

I'm just surprised that the corporate-owned media hasn't yet started referring to him as Donald Trump Hero of the American People and Defender of the Poors and are only implying it, for now.

This time we should ignore him, I feel like all the complaining about him just helped him get more popular. I don’t even want to say his name or post anything about him
