Well, this is the thing. He hates anyone that is not himself. That’s pretty much the  
entire deal.

Easy enough to just call out his clinical psychosis. I don’t tink he hate’s America. He is a blundering fool that just want’s adoration. But as he is a stupid asshole, it’s sort of difficult.

This man is starting to create a peace club that costs a billion dollars to join. All while threatening Greeenland and Canada. NO one should put their back to this.. thing.

All true. He’s still an America-hating fuckstick.

Well ok. He doesn’t know enough about America to hate it. That would take at least a bit of knowledge. He has none. Zero.

He has never had a history leson in his life. Nor Social Studies.

True! An _inadvertently_ America-hating fuckstick.

The Melania movie was originally slated for 2,000+ plus theaters, then 1,400, and now I see it’s likely to be limited release, which is fewer than 600 theaters. Maybe the orange turnip will go on Fandango and buy all the tickets.

He knows that Americans voted for Biden instead of him, which is more than enough for him to hate America and want to punish it. That’s one reason this has been called his “revenge tour”; America failed to appreciate his greatness, and _must_ be ruined for it.

We saw the trailer for this movie when we last went to a movie and if that trailer is the best they could come up with, the movie is bound to be a huge steaming pile of shit. The trailer was horrible! She did rip on Trump so I guess that part was OK.

Not him, himself. But I expect some sycophant will buy out a theater somewhere. It’s another route to bribe through.

A tiny, insignificant number of rabid far-left radicals who orchestrated widespread voter fraud, you mean.

Draw them out like flies and pick them off.

There’s probably a DHS memo stating just that waiting to be leaked.

Trump calls and asks her if she watched something (can’t remember what it was) and she says “no, I can watch it on the news”. At least I took it as her indicating he isn’t that important.

Teddy Roosevelt was certainly a proponent of conservation, and deserves a lot of credit for many of our preserved lands.

In a move to preserve prehistoric Indian ruins and artifacts on public lands, he signed the Antiquities Act of 1906, using it to create eighteen national monuments by presidential proclamation, including Devils Tower in Wyoming; El Morro in New Mexico; and, in Arizona, Montezuma Castle, the Petrified Forest, and the Grand Canyon. During his tenure as president Roosevelt established 150 national forests, 51 bird preserves, and 4 game preserves. 2

As for the movie, one wonders how an entire film can be made about someone so completely vapid.
