That's funny. I questioned something here and was literally called a brain dead leftist devil worshipping Satanist and told they were sorry I had no soul. For just disagreeing and asking a question.

You say proof of being lied to yet offer zero evidence.
Great job man.
This election as I can tell is being monitored more than I have ever witnessed in my life.
Though I was only birthed to yesterday. I assume you too

I'm onboard, but only if we also rename that person in the Bible "Trump" too.
Have you not read the art of the deal?

Just curious, how exactly did Trumpers treat leftists and independents for the past 4 years? Because from where I'm sitting, on the outside of the cathedral looking in, looked to me like the right treated the left a hell of a lot more respectfully than the other way around. But what do I know? I'm just one of those whack-a-doodle third-party types that enjoys watching both sides make fools of themselves.

Trump never expected to win in 2016. He expected to lose and use the publicity to promote a Trump TV network he was floating as an idea. That was why he had not prepared for transition and had walked around shocked the day after the election.
Trump also doesn't like making deals, because he is so poor at it, as shown by his tax records and the string of failed business ideas like:
Trump Steaks,
Trump University,
Trump Airlines,
Trump Vodka,
Trump Mortgages,
Trump Casino's, like the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City,
the GoTrump search engine,
Trump the Game,
Trump Magazine,
Trump Ice bottled water,
the New Jersey Generals football team,
the Tour de Trump bike race,
the Trump on the Ocean restaurant,
the Trump Network vitamin 'network marketing' scheme,
Trumped! talk radio show,
Trump New Media, video on demand & internet,
Trump Towers in various places around the world that never happened, or went bust.
And so on...
According to some, Fred Trump's empire, that Donald Trump was nearly the sole heir to, was worth around $52 billion dollars. By the time Trump assumed office, Donald was claiming to be worth, perhaps, $10 billion, but according to his tax records, he had been nearly broke for more than 20 years, even despite the pay he was getting from hosting his game-show!
Not to mention the legal hot water Trump is now in and that has been deferred while he is President. Trump is likely to go to jail and loose the businesses that he does hold a stake in. At this point in time, enough has been revealed about his true business situation, that no one would risk investment in him or his schemes. Especially as so many investors and contractors have been stiffed by Trump already and that is now public knowledge.

Personally, I don't think trump actually cares and never did. He got what he wanted. He got to be president. He got to be the most important and famous person in the world. It's pretty much all that dude's wanted, he got it, I would wager money that of Trump were to die tomorrow, he'd have a big fat grin on his face. He got to live out his life's dream, become rich, powerful and important. That's pretty much the only thing Trump ever has or ever will care about.

This is a good run down on this clown Mr. Onaut. What I really wonder about is how do his supporters deal with that long list. Are they not aware of it or might it be that they are and don't think it means anything.
A truly sad thing about Trump is how he has bastardized American conservatism. His hugging of the flag to display patriotism. His posing with the Bible to display his spirituality. I"ts all a sham yet his people lap it up. Any real conservative revolution has been usurped by this wannabe Messiah (I am the only one who can save America) Without him, conservatism flounders and that is sad.

Will Trump be more powerful in death than in life?
I think the Democrats need to be very careful of what they wish for. Even if Trump ends up being defeated, this is far from the end of Trump's (or Trump Jr.'s) involvement in politics and media. In fact, he may end up being even MORE powerful and influential outside the presidency than inside - remember, this is a guy who likes money and 'making deals' even more than he likes being president, and he has the money and support base to be a HUGE influencer in our country's political future. Here's what I think is going to happen (or is actually already in the works)...
Trump loses, and shortly thereafter, announces he's starting his own media company with a new cable channel, internet streaming service, and social media site dubbed "Trumpvision", "Trumptube", and "Trumpbook". This will be the new home for conservative voices, will provide open and honest debate about government and politics, will be the centerpiece for the destruction of existing deep state power structures and leftist ideology, and will give birth to a whole slew of new stars in the political pundit scene. Basically it will be a second Fox News channel, but far more entertaining and without the corporate & neoconservative influence. Maybe more of a Fox News meets the Comedy Channel vibe. He'll offer fat contracts for prime time shows to a whole slew of internet stars like Dave Rubin, Ben Shapiro, Tim Pool, and Steven Crowder, who will be able to continue their online programming while also reaching a huge new market via cable television.
This influence will make him and his supporters MUCH more powerful in the long run, far beyond the white house. He'll be able to set up a system of political influence that will last for decades to come, long past his time on Earth, and will end up 'Trumping' anything the left can throw at it.
That's my prediction, mark it down!

Well, for one Trump clearly insulted everyone, nearly 24x7 (many of his Tweet posts were often at 3AM).
The 'right-wing' pro-Trumpers accused moderates, who were really centrist, of being 'leftists', 'socialists' and 'liberals', which they weren't, and still aren't.
They accused anyone involved with any other political view than their own or of civil rights, of being extremists and leftists.
Trump denigrated people from allied countries and damaged trade with them. He promoted ties with enemy states, praising and insulting them in succession. He denigrated the armed forces, FBI, CIA and the police and cut funding. He also cut funding to several important political and societal support organizations. He granted exemption from tax to large business that called themselves televangelist religious organizations, while doing nothing for the real religious organizations. He insulted the Pope. He insulted servicemen who had given their lives for their country. He jailed people, separated families, and caged children who were seeking asylum in the USA. He said that they were all, without exception, criminals and were being sent by foreign governments to destroy the USA, like poor people from poor countries were some big plot against the USA?
He threatened to remove birthright citizenship, despite it being in the Constitution. He also assaulted the Constitution repeatedly with executive orders and pronouncements later ruled illegal.
He mishandled the COVID-19 situation, repeatedly, and for long periods of time. For him, it was all about blame and he could not coordinate a response.
