Trump is the epitome of the US - capitalist, sociopath, selfish, superiority complex, immigrant, mentally and physically sick, corrupt, obsession with fame and being talked about.
This is why the rest of the world hates the US. Trump is a symptom of all your systems. As far as the presidency, it’s been a downward slope since Ford pardoned Nixon.
Yep. Trump is America. He’s the president this country deserves, and that is apparent from his ability to win twice.
Anyone who thinks he could only win through some type of cheating we haven’t caught is clearly not hanging out in the living rooms in red states and counties
He certainly isn’t Native American - they got genocided and ethnically cleansed (let’s add those to the previous list too).
The majority of USians aren’t Native American but USians they’ll bitch about immigration when they’re primarily a country of immigrants. The hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance is astonishing. It might be a symptomatic of the poor historical accuracy and relevancy taught in schools - they don’t even realise who they are or where they come from.
Someone who can trace their history back to another country can be classed as a product of immigration. That is what immigrants are.
You can say “but he was born here” but that means nothing if you’re rascist like the GOP and hasn’t stopped ICE deporting people who were born in the US and are citizens - they just happened to be non-white. Trump grandfather came over in the 1880s. He is of immigrant stock - he probably has less of a claim to being American than many other people on the continent . You might not want to believe it, or claim 14th amendment (which is fair, from a US legal perspective) but technically, every single white person is a product of immigration. Black, Latino or Asian too - it’s not just white folks.
Trump is just closer to being an immigrant than many others - you could call him a 3rd gen immigrant. That is how he would be classed if he wasn’t white.
I hope I’m getting across the point that most people in the world are of immigrant stock at some point or another and so it’s really a non-argument that has deep-rooted rascist undertones whilst not taking into consideration history.

A “product of immigration?” Sure. An immigrant? No. That’s simply incorrect. An immigrant is someone who migrates to another country. Someone who was born and lived in the same country their entire lives is in no way, shape, or form, an immigrant.
Spoken like someone who doesn’t experience bigotry on a daily basis. Your lack of understanding shows you’re not a target. Doesn’t matter what it actually means. The lived experience is different to the lawful one.
Remember the subject of this post - most of the US population is of immigrant stock.

They said after unironically refusing to use our preferred demonym. We’re Americans, not USians. Do you call Spaniards Kingdomians? It’s the “Kingdom of Spain” after all.
i’m like, none of those things; although i might not be in the best physical shape and could use some health care… i could still whoop little miss tiny hands in any athletic feat.

Trump thinks he is America.
Given this, yes, he should expect America to burn.
Then maybe we can get back the America that’s comprised of the people.

I bet half of them will claim they’re Irish too.
That’s not what an immigrant is…

Whether I experienced bigotry or not has zero bearing on the material facts of the matter…

Honestly he’s not that inaccurate of a representation.
Yeah America is highly diverse. He represents the worst of us and that was ascendant over the last ten years.
Those of us that aren’t that need to get louder and take power to get this ship back on track.
This bullshit is a result of the 'Murican people
