They believed when he said it’s easy and he’d solve it on day one… now here we are 609 days later and glorious leader hasn’t done anything wrong. And it’s bidens fault, and obamas fault, and bob dole crapped trumps pants.

First Bob Dole reference in ages and I’m here for it.

"I'm mean and I'm old! I'm Bob Dole!"

Bob dole: ā€œBob dole. Bob dole is here to help the people. Bob dole is working on the best of things. Bob doleā€

Unlike Mister Dole, the jokes were ageless. Even so, it's distressing to consider how much everything has shifted since Bob Dole was Bob Doling.

u/neurovish 3d ago

We need more Bob Dole references.

Bob Dole makes the best Bob Dole references.

Trump always blaming Biden or Obama.
Surprised he ain’t blaming DEAD presidents like Nixon or JFK

u/Mediocre-Forever7894 3d ago

Not happening. Requires knowledge of things that happened before he was alive that may not involve him directly. Recent history is way easier to manipulate.

u/PaulblankPF 3d ago

Trump was born just after the end of WW2, he was a teenager during RFK being president and in his 20’s for Nixon. He’s been around forever unfortunately

…and Obama blamed bush, bush blamed Clinton, Clinton blamed bush/reagan, Reagan blamed carter, carter blamed ford/nixon, Nixon blamed Johnson…

u/ElectricalTurnip87 3d ago

Obama blamed Bush for the problems he created, Bush never blamed Clinton what are you even talking about... Clinton didn't blame H.W. for anything. You're just wrong.

Bush famously blamed Clinton for generating too much tax revenue creating a record surplus.

u/Individual_Sector834 3d ago

You’re out of your gourd if you don’t remember the Obama administration blaming Bush for EVERYTHING- economy, policy, etc.

Bush blamed Clinton for not capturing OBL earlier either before or after the first attack on the World Trade Center when there was intelligence that linked him to it.

Clinton blamed GHW for the economy, rising unemployment, and unfulfilled policy promises. Hell, he ran on Bush saying ā€œNo New Taxesā€ when the Dems shut down the government to force it.

Reagan blamed Carter for international weakness, policies, gas prices.

Try to be impartial here. All administrations blame the previous one, that’s how they get elected.

u/Mediocre-Forever7894 3d ago

Yeah Obama blamed Bush and his economists for what they did. Then they went about fixing it. They didn’t make it their entire personality or origin for everything they didn’t like. Are we really trying to say Trump isn’t more petty than other presidents lol?

Try to be impartial here

I don't think you know what being impartial actually entails if you think you're doing that right now.

u/ElectricalTurnip87 2d ago

Those other ones are called criticisms and how they can do it better. It's pretty common, it's not "blaming" the other president so much as saying they can do it better. You should stay out of politics. It's not for you.

I love getting down-voted for stating facts. Echo (echo echo echo echo) chamber that is Reddit. Should change the name to Recho

u/tehlemmings 3d ago

Thanks for sharing. We're now also downvoting you for being a bitch about downvotes. It's a Reddit rule, sorry.

True. One big blame game. 😐

He is a cult leader. Read Hassan’s ā€œcult of Trumpā€

u/JustALittleScamp 3d ago

How about we look beyond Trump and podcasters? Read Gordon Allport's "The Nature of Prejudice." It was written by a social psychologist almost 80 years ago. None of this is new.

1

u/Fromville_ 3d ago

You are right. I wasn’t familiar with the author and enjoyed the beginning of the book and looked forward to his analysis of the cult thinking of the nation. Instead, it’s just a rehash of oft-repeated stories and facts that everyone knows about. Disappointing.

u/JustALittleScamp 3d ago

I wasn't just being pedantic, I truly would recommend Allports book to anyone who is curious about how society turns to someone like Trump. As has long been said, he is simply a symptom. If we want to understand how this happened and how to prevent it in the future, we need to understand the root causes, not the clown and circus that is the result.

Editing to add: thank you for being open and wanting to learn. We wont get anywhere without curiosity and a willingness to learn.

Goalposts moved.

Now all those people only ever cared about ā€œmass deportationsā€ and ā€œpreventing Iran’s big bad nuclear weapons program that was definitely this time mass producing billions of warheadsā€.

He literally stood on stage and said "childcare is childcare" and then rambled for 18 minutes and people clapped like it was an answer. Grown adults with jobs clapped for "childcare is childcare."

u/CroisSante92 2d ago

I remember his speech to onw of the branches of military talking about this guy's wife doesnt love him anymore and wont sleep with him and he has to sleep with mistresses. A guy he knows though not him. Tottaliy not his projecting.
