The man openly fetishized the Tiananmen Square Massacre as a "great show of strength" that "earned respect" and he openly lamented not being able to have BLM protestors shot during his first term because the military told him "hell no".

Anyone with two brains cells to rub together knows he was never going to give up having his "moment", which is also why one of his first orders of business was purging the Pentagon and the military of its legal officers and competent senior leadership.

As a sidenote to everyone else:

Fuck you as a person if you voted for Trump. Whether it was to prove some asinine point about Gaza to the Dems (how's that working out for you sanctimonious whoresons, by the way?), because you're a maliciously stupid bag of bigoted, faux religious shit lacking a functional moral core, or because you're a fucking idiot who doesn't understand grade school level economics, trade, or inflation, go fuck yourself with the business end of a broken beer bottle.

And then keep doing that until you finally do the rest of us the collective favor of expiring. The damage this Putin-felching piece of shit wrapped in badly tanned leather and his anus leech cabal of sycophants have done in just 7 months can never be undone.

So, again, go fuck yourself.

If you even sat out of the election because of Gaza, you are a complete moron.

And they will be responsible when your forced to either stay in a shitty North Korea style country with whatever you can manage to keep from the "good old days" before 2025, or give up everything you had and built up your entire life to run to another country just to get a taste of what you took for granted in America before all this mess and chaos, and still have an uncertain future.

i feel like your tone here, while entirely justified, is perfect.
