      My favourite thing about this is that … he’ll be remembered forever for shit like this (no pun intended).

      Think about it … JFK had famous speeches and lines like ‘We choose to go to the moon’ … Eisenhower is thought of to his line ‘the Military Industrial complex’ … Roosevelt for his ‘Day of infamy’ speech … even Reagan is remembered for his ‘Tear down this wall’ speech

      Trump? … he’ll be remembered as a senile old buffoon who shared childish videos to make fun of the citizens he was supposed to govern.

      … and it isn’t just representative of Trump … no matter how the country feels about it … his stupidity reflects on the entire nation.

        This. I don’t think about what Trump will be remembered for as much as what mark will he leave on America. His orange face will forever be included in the lists of US presidents reminding everyone how stupid this country has become. The monuments he’s building and reforming will stay in Washington for centuries. The broken alliances, dismantled institutions, discarded laws… The US will never be the same after Trump and it will be his real legacy.

        JFK had famous speeches

        “Ich bin ein Berliner”

        Not trying to disprove your point though, being remembered for that is still dimensions better than that video.

        His legacy will be that of a cautionary tale on how not to be the most embarrassing footnote in American history.

        His grave should be the only location where public dedication is legalized.

          Oh, Lord, this guy really drank the Kool-Aid. (jk)

        he’ll be remembered

        That’s what he wants. To have more money than other people, and to be remembered.

        In a way, that’s one nice thing about how he’s destroying America. America will be weakened so much that maybe soon some other country or some new country will rule this land, and the United States will be relegated to history books. And then, Trump will only be remembered by very specialized historians.

          In China they have these statues of a corrupt official and his wife that killed a loyal general like 1000 years ago. People spit on those statues to show they haven’t forgotten the betrayal. Maybe Americans can take a cue from that and always “remember” Trump in that way when he’s gone.

            Hear me out; we take all the statues of Confederate losers and whatever gaudy atrocious bullshit cheeto comes up with, set them all up in a swamp with catwalks placed close enough that people can spit, piss, and if so motivated and properly prepared, projectile vomit/shit on their memories.

          He doesn’t care about being remembered per se, just getting his ego stroked now. And all his shitty juvenile impulses fulfilled.

          some other country

          Yeah, because anyone who’s attempting to control this country is doing such a great job in their own that it’s something we should look forward to.

          How do you think all this shit got started? Trump didn’t really have the friends or influence domestically.
