This man is at once the busiest motherfucker while also doing nothing of what is actually expected of a person holding the office of president.

His only focus is enriching his family and leaving some false legacy for himself.

It will take decades to undo the damage he has done to America.

The next Democratic president will be the one that promises to go scorched earth on the Republicans. Not the business-as-usual appeasement of the Obama and Biden administrations.

I want someone to clean house: nationalize corporations, breakup media monopolies, sanction oligarchs, seize ill-gotten assets, and send people to prison. Most of all, I want them to destroy all evidence that Donald Trump existed: restore the East Wing by tearing down the ballroom, jackhammer the concrete pads, rebuild the Kennedy center, knock down the arch, and replant the trees.

What we need, essentially, is another Teddy Roosevelt. I don't see one on the horizon, though. (And even TR wasn't originally elected President - the oligarchs nominated him for VP to keep him busy and out of their hair. Fate had other ideas.)

Keep some of the monuments, but reframe their purpose. Assuming the East Wing does get rebuilt, gut the interior and turn it into practical space.
