    once you stop taking politics seriously it’s fucking hilarious that the americans elected a president who felt the need to be in a fucking Home Alone movie because he is that egotistical.

    you probably have to do a ton of weed or randomly dissociate after coming home from the grocery store where you spent your life savings, but man once you get there

      I think that part is pretty normal, lots of people make deals like that

      The crazy part is how he used to call newspapers under false names to talk himself up

      Hell, there’s a reasonable amount of evidence suggesting that he was never a billionaire (until this year at least), he apparently got on the Forbes list by bugging them until they put him in

        the crazy part is that Murdoch and Co.'s grip on america is so strong that he has half the country dancing to his tune, through a combination of stupidity and greed (fox/WSJ/majority of “independent” radio stations etc.)

        Reminds me of the ridiculous advice I’ve heard from my parents of just showing up to pester the boss at the job you want until they hire you. It may have worked before the days of LinkedIn and Indeed, but these days the people picking out application candidates almost always have nothing to do with the position they’re hiring for.

      He had to be in it because they filmed in his hotel. Imagine Paris Hilton wanting to be in a film because part of the movie is shot in a Hilton. It wasn’t enough that everything in that hotel is labeled “Trump”, he had to show up and have a speaking role because otherwise you might forget who the hotel belongs to.

        Nah it was the Plaza Hotel, so it’s very understabable he wanted to make it clear in whose hotel Kevin is
