Mannn I know you're joking, but that is exactly how you guys got Trump
Except we got him by voting for him, but most of us on this platform didn't do that.
Most people in the country didn't vote for him either
I'm talking more about the buzz when he was still just a cooky candidate that obviously wouldn't be put on the republican ticket, but god damn did he make for good television like every time he appeared! And he just kept saying wild things that we all loved reacting to.
I hated the fuck out of trump since I first saw him on the apprentice. I was too young to know anything about him before that except he cameoed on home alone 2. But on the apprentice his entire persona was that of an ignorant rich asshole. His whole schtick was that he knew more than anybody when clearly he knew nothing. I told my parents I don't get why they watch a show to see an ignorant moron be a jerk.
Then literally everything I heard after that made me hate him more. At no point was I glad to hear about Donald Trump. At no point did I find any of it funny. Fuck him.
And I disagree talking about him got him elected.
In another timeline, the apprentice didn't run and when trump tried to run after being insulted by Obama, had people laughing at him like RFK.
Fucking idiotbox...
Yep. And shitty westerns gave us Reagan
