That's basically every president. Not saying that makes it ok.

According to those, Trump, a one term president, was on course to spend as much as Obama, a 2 term president, if he won a second term.

Good job to Joey B for only increasing the debt by about 17%.

I'll tell ya what. In four years, if he deconstructs our form of government, uses the military to silence his opponents, and proclaims himself god king of Merica, I'll eat my words.

But we both know nothing even approaching that will happen. He'll talk shit, use Twitter as he poops, then talk some more shit. Fin.

I wouldn't even call my comments pro Trump. Just not anti Trump. I don't really care about the orange man too much to be honest.

It is my hope that, if I'm patient enough, Lemmy will become a diverse platform where people can share different thoughts and ideas without it quickly devolving into hyperbole and name calling. That probably sounds foolish, but we'll see.

Yes. Let me break it down for you. My comment was meant to imply the majority of Lemmy will have a meltdown. Not every single person who uses the platform. But you already knew that.
