Is it possible to have a mute president?

My biggest problem with this is that we'll keep hearing him talk.

 

[Baroque]

this is unreal, pretty much everyone thought he was the death of the republican party not a month ago

legal weed tho

 

[Funerary_Doom]

This is fucking garbage.

Nah not really, anyone could see that Trump was energizing voters and opening new support blocs.

 

[The Ozzman]

All hail the fucking God Emperor

All right. Time to build that wall

This is fucking garbage.

Hey, if anything, this man's election essentially proves why American politics and media were so flawed and corrupted in the first place.

This is going to be me explaining this election to my grandchildren:

"Grandpa, can you tell me what happened during 2016?"
"Well kids, I can explain it to you in one word. Memes."

It's like Jon Stewart goes on the quest for the Fountain of Youth just to go back on the Daily Show and cover the next 20 years of politics because of this election.

PRAISE KEK

As a former WoW player, the fact that this became a thing amuses me to no end.

Democrats and leftists have nobody to blame but themselves. No sympathy.

"He can't possibly win, right? Right? Uuuuugh...guys?" I've been saying it since the election started. Don't underestimate the candidate running under the banner of populism in this kind of political environment. It will come back to bite you in the ass. And it did.

And don't use "he's a celebrity" as a criticism when you created the first true celebrity and pop culture president in America, Obama.

 

[SentinelSlain]

What about Reagan?

Btw, I find this election to be fucking hilarious. I wont watch them, but a lot of BBC and Guardian Kommisars are going to be in tears, shaking, wailing and crying about how their beautiful dreams have been crushed by "fascism".

Reagan had name recognition sure, but this stuff has been on a whole new level. Obama did the cereal bath thing, all the comedy stuff, the Samantha B thing. The guy acted more like a celebrity than a president most of the time.

Man that was nerve wracking for awhile but the smile on my face grew bigger and bigger as he won one big swing state after another

 

[Krow]

Death to political correctness.

Right. Reagan wasn't doing this shit in his term. He was a celebrity before.
