If Trump was president during the Revolution, we'd still be a colony of Great Britain.
If he'd been president in 1861, the US would be two countries & one of them would still have slaves.
If he'd been president in 1941, the English would be speaking German.

And now he is the president of a country that soon will have slaves again. Not hidden like now thru the 13th amendment but fully in bright daylight. And the president will be the one to rent them out to anyone willing to pay his bidding...

@petergleick Ukraine is paying for the weapons. Those weapons are manufactured in red districts.
This is how a dumb fuck can bankrupt a casino.

Even if the US was paying, it’s boosting US jobs and production! This reminds me of ‘Liberation Day’, what a dumbfuck POTUS and his Administration.

@petergleick In other words, Putin saw the recent strike, got mad, and called Trump.

A Trump did exist during the revolutionary days of America though. He had a different name back then. It was Benedict Arnold.

@petergleick @nazokiyoubinbou BenedictArnold was maligned. and this declaring his equivalence to Rump only rubs salt in that chronic wound.

@kmmfoo @petergleick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedict_Arnold#Secret_communications - His war profiteering at America's expense actually resembles a lot of what Trump does. Later gutting of defenses even more so.

Also don't "censor" on Mastodon. There are no algorithms here to rate your posts down, but there are people who need to use filters because they are being hurt or know others who are being hurt by this administration's policies. If you mean Trump, say Trump at least once so their filters will apply.
