    Seriously, he’s a piece of shit, and even ironically saying he’s “cool” is fucking stupid. How many lives has he ruined? How many times has he endangered others lives on camera?

      It doesn’t really seem like he’s actually ruined all that many lives. None of the pedophilia or sexual abuse accusations seem to be true afaict (Republicans made up a lot of stuff about what was on that laptop). The prostitution scandal seems to just him paying prostitutes with stolen money, not about harming people. His previous partners also seem to mostly describe parting “amicably”. In terms of corruption, that money probably would be gone anyway. It’s kind of hard to quantify the harm he did in Ukraine. His own life really seems to be the only one “ruined”.

      He had sex with some of his employees, which is bad, but I’m not sure it’s “life ruining”. The power dynamic means they can’t really consent, but also nobody has brought any charges against him related to that. The prostitutes across state lines thing is illegal (and technically trafficking), but also they were already prostitutes and they went across state lines voluntarily (and no charges were filed).

      Endangering other people, that might hold more weight. There’s that other comment about him speeding while smoking crack, and there might well be more stuff, but still.
