First off, anyone who unironically wants Biden to fail and run America into the ground just out of Trump spite and an "I warned you," is an absolute retard. Some of us still live here, you know? Just keep an eye on anything crazy Biden does that the news doesn't talk about, or rushes to turn into another Right-wing conspiracy theory.
He was the guy I recognized from that one TV thing, and I was shocked to see him running. Every time I tuned into CNN, they had him on loop saying some shit I found hilarious (I was still a dumb high schooler). While I could not vote for him, I just loved to see him to go and be the biggest asshole on stage to the establishment. Honest to God, I thought it would be a carried Jeb vs. destined Hillary, with Trump as the short meme that immediately gets booted out during the primaries.
During his presidency, I was still a high schooler, so I didn't care about the news because there was no more election coverage. However, I started to pick up on the TDS from the mainstream media and questioned it a bit because "Well, uh, America isn't Atlantis. Trump hasn't sunk us... yet..." But to get to the point, I started riding the Trump Train because I felt the guy was doing a decent job, and I noticed the TDS had gotten absurdly worse. Even with COVID, the president still did a decent job, with the only main issues being that he let shitty governors possess ultimate power and this all had to coincidently happen during an election year, where the media wanted anything to pin him to the wall with.
Trump's the response to a shifting Overton Window; a temporary solution to radical left madness. An era of Trumps will come, keep coming, and stop. Just like an era of Obamas if she got her turn.

To go back to a previous post, overall, Trump's a C-tier US president, from my amateur historian perspective. He's far better than George W. Bush, and the answer that fixed the mistakes of Barack Obama. (With the possible) One-term presidency makes him a right-wing parallel to Jimmy Carter, but the semi-dark horse air from him during 2016 parallels him as a right-wing Bill Clinton. He managed to acquire and build a Republican base as strong, if not better than Ronald Reagan's. He's a fighter like Andrew Jackson however. So this won't, or will never be the last we hear of his infamous name. He's has a little bit of some of the other 43 guys in work, but he's himself inside and out. The Orange Man, Donald Trump, while far from greatest, he is most certainly far from the worse.
@MrJokerRager, I use you as a example for this here: While you may feel as if Trump may be shit out of luck in a 2024 run, let the small Jackson comparison be enough to persuade you on the man fighting capabilities. Especially when he, like Jackson in 1824, was cheated out of a win. During his rallies, Trump always called Joe out on "making a corrupt bargain for his party's nomination."
If we had to make things personally though, Trump's a low A, but a solid high B for me, any day of the week. Orange Man Funny.
While I agree, this was his first run, and he did enter to face the shotguns from both sides of the aisle. If he were to be the hardass who had Bannon, Stone, Flynn, and whole cabinet chock full of loyalist and try to not drain, but evaporate the swamp, I'd think we'd see him face impeachment in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. That is, unless the establishment said "Screw it!" and made 45 meet 35 and 25. Would have been a hoot though if he went full gung-ho, continually told corporate politicians to eat shit, and did everything so quickly and needed in one term that it would make James K. Polk blush from the grave. But the political machine of Washington D.C. is plagued beyond comprehension, and run by people who should be either dead or retired and napping.
But what are plebs to do?
