Daddy dropped a few million and all of his business contacts on you, and by taking that money and underperforming the average savings account, you still managed to parlay it into a small fortune.
But your name was out there, and when the time came, fueled by your humiliation at a never-to-be forgotten White House Press Dinner, you decided to launch a quixotic bid for the Presidency.
What the Hell, at the least that would give you a few more chances to call him a n****r, right?
But WTF? Who knew there were enough curiosity seekers, racists, and morons to actually ooze you into the Oval Office? You didn't really want it, but now you were stuck.
Damn, dude, then you actually had to do something other than declare bankruptcy when things went south.
In a perfect world you might have been able to ride the Obama economy to a second term. You wouldn't have had to do a damned thing. Just keep nominating whatever judges you were instructed to put forth, and try not to get caught grabbing a pussy on camera.
But suddenly, shit got real.
FDR had the Great Depression and WWII. He handled both of them.
JFK had the Cuban Missile Crisis, and he handled it like a champ.
But you got hit with a global pandemic. And your failures were exposed. And almost 100,00 deaths later, everyone recognizes your inadequacy.
You see, Donnie, screeching "You're fired" at Meat Loaf ain't quite the same as dumping a boat load of IGs who were engaged in their Constitutional duty to investigate the wrongdoing of you and your coterie of petty criminals and shameless grifters.
Advocating drinking bleach is equally unhelpful.
People also tend to pay attention when their President insists on repeatedly showing his ass.
So please, just get out. Hell, you were (sigh) actually a President of the United States of America. I know that appealing to a better nature that you clearly don't possess would be fruitless. But if you get the fuck out of town, you might be able to score the first Presidential plea bargain in American political history. Maybe you can parlay that into a few bucks down the road.
And everyone knows that's all you care about.
Now, just go the fuck away. A grateful nation will approve.

(15,160 posts)Excellent rant. And as things get even worse during the next few months, I wouldn't be surprised if he would take that Presidential plea bargain and get outta town. Only problem is, he can't legally live at Mar-a-barfo 12 months a year. Then it becomes a private residence and not a club.
Sucks to be you, Donnie!

(5,075 posts)beginning, treated this pandemic halfway seriously and done a minimal amount of helping people, he would have been declared a hero and would be a shoe-in in November despite the damage to the economy.

(16,939 posts)GAWD, what an UGLY thought - that 1 correct move after 3 1/2 years of f**k-ups would save that pathetic fat a$$ for another four years.
I think that what irritates me most is that thought that you are probably so right - and ain't that sad!

(9,264 posts)another 4 years... but this fuckin' lazy ass couldn't see that... it would've been *hard* and he would've had to make an *effort* at things that he didn't care to do, or wasn't interested in.
He wants to cut corners. He just wants to make big announcements and declare victory. He wants the parades, applause, approval and admiration... but he's not willing to do the work that is required to achieve, ahem, *earn* a result worthy of such acclaim.
Who knows? He might've been nominated for an award or a prize? Something for contributions to medicine, science, public health, and saving the world from a pandemic? Did no one mention this to him?
But that would have required *work*, and it wouldn't have been *fun*, and there's not many doctors/scientists who want their pussy grabbed while they're trying to save the planet.
All in all, a no fun proposition for dear donald.

Oh, and the "firing Meat Loaf" - well done, my friend!
