As a general rule for this community: If you're a baby leftist or left leaning lib and if you can't tell if something is ironic then it's probably ironic. If you're a right winger your brain is way too broken to get anything out of this community and also furthermore go fuck yourself.
No, but the guy is funny sometimes, so we have various emotes and stuff that reference famous lines or bits from him. The perception that some lemmy users have of this place being genuinely "pro-Trump" is really confusing to me -- it's no more "pro-Trump" than an SNL bit mocking him, although hopefully more funny (as in, funny at all -- thank god for the writer's strike sparing us from more SNL).
We're communists and anarchists. So no. But he don't hand wring over it, he's a shitty president in a long long long line of shitty presidents, he just talked like a reality TV star instead of a politician and said the quiet parts loud. As far as any action goes, he's par for the course and far from the worst president of my life time. I was around for both Bushes and as someone that ranks the amount of blood on your hands much heavier than I do civility, Trump doesn't really come off any worse than any previous president.
No.
But also I'm not even remotely in a position to vote, even in the kneecapped American "democracy", so what does it matter?
Trump is useful in the sense that he highlights a lot of things leftist thought about the Presidency but libs are too propagandized to see. There has never been a good, smart, well-mannered President who genuinely wants to lead to help everyone. They were all Trump. They were all corrupt, egotistical, murderous, self-interested, and dangerous. To the most marginalized of society, they were all Trump. Now the people who never had to look at it that way has to and they're upset. It's good that they're upset.
All US presidents are bad. Even Lincoln, even FDR, even Kennedy.
Trump is shit for all the reasons talked about here, but one good thing is he’ll end the war in Ukraine, whereas Biden would likely keep it dragging through his entire second term.
Of course I’m not going to vote for him, but when he does win, it will be unequivocally good for the people in Ukraine.
No of course not.
He's rich.
No and that's really obvious if you had read any comments instead of just listening to liberals cope by insisting since we don't vocally support Biden it means we support Trump.
no, but i've learned how to enjoy the spectacle
@mycorrhiza@lemmy.ml what gives you or other Lemmy users this impression?

Yes we do unironically support Trump and we also think Barbie is reverse sexism. 
Of course not. I just dont fall into the illusion that he is any different or better than Biden (or vice versa), because they both serve the same ruling class interests and American Imperialism. I'm also not afraid to laugh at Trump and I find him unintentionally hilarious, which a lot of libs confuse that with me actually liking him.
