1/3 of us do. It's sad.
Have you not seen the Idiocracy documentary
I’m genuinely stunned. - Calls Israel “us” and completely disregards genocide they are clearly undertaking - Acts like his government didn’t partake in printing money and causing inflation during his term - Claims the reason Bitcoin pumped was basically down to him when he was president (you know why Bitcoin pumps?!) - Tries to scare Bitcoiners with “you’ll get crushed” if you don’t vote for him - Finishes with a nothing burger of “we won’t sell the Bitcoin we have”
Trumps a bit different. Most politicians over here are “polished”. Think along the line of Boris Johnson
Trump is a very special combination of tedious, self-aggrandizing rambling and transparent pandering. This is not to say that other politicians are more enjoyable...they just tens to waste less of your time.
He’s entertainment in highlights Others are not even that
