Trump makes Bond villains look good by comparison.

    When I described him in 2016 as a “wannabe Lex Luthor comic-book villain”, someone said I was exaggerating. The truth is that at the time I was somewhat exaggerating. That person made a fair assessment of what was an emotionally-charged reaction to the election results.

    I dislike how accurate the description ended up being.

    Like, who even says this shit for real? And who laughs at it? What even? I can’t understand it at all; and it sort of scares me to know that I might one day randomly encounter someone in power who laughed when he said it.

      IMO no Lex Luthor comic book villain would ridicule a handicap man, say “Why do you bring people like that here? No one wants to see that, the wounded” about a badly disable vet, rape a woman, or brag that he can “Grab them by the pussy”, among a hundred other examples. I’ve never seen or met anyone in my entire life who is as disgusting, obscenely cruel a human being as Trump.
