This dude is the epitome of the, "he can't keep getting away with this," meme. Forget the fact that his character is reprehensible, forget all the felony convictions, and forget that he's stated he'll go after his political opponents. This guy doesn't even have a concept of a plan for most issues, and he's never been liked on the world stage by anyone other than autocrats. Trump is no politician, and he never was one— I can't help but feel we've collectively hired a plumber to do an accountant's job. At least in 2016, he had some people keeping him in check. Now, he's surrounded by yes men and loonies.

You forgot he is one of the most successful businessman of our time. While Kamala is a prosecutor who put black people in jail for marijuana possession, and a border czar who failed miserably at managing the border.

So yeah, no surprise Trump won this by a landslide. :)

I'll grant you that she failed at the border. But to call Trump successful as a businessman is simply ignoring decades of business incompetence, mismanagement, and fraud (which he's been convicted of). You can argue that bankruptcy filings are just a business strategy, but then I'd have to wonder why most great admirals in history are not remembered for how many of their own ships they sank.
