Even the fact that many people had a picture of Franklin Roosevelt on their wall during his presidency----sort of bothers me. But at least he DID things for people.

Trump hasn't DONE anything of substance. All he does, it seems, is post tweets and make up stupid names for his enemies in those tweets. And he constantly tries to justify himself. And he constantly calls people who investigate him stupid schoolyard names.

Exactly. That's why it's oddly amusing that so many are so throughly obsessed over him both pro and con. In all likelihood DeSantis will be running against Biden. If Biden is still able to function well enough by then.

What does that have to do with proving your point that there is something "odd", and something "amusing" about discussing Trump?

I agree with you that Trump will likely loose his cachet to someone else like De Santis. But thats all of the MORE reason to discuss and analyze the trends of Trump and his cult. Not less reason to discuss him.

I will answer no more personal questions, nor respond to anything you have to say about me or yourself. The topic of this thread is how strange people still get over an ex-president.

Dude ...I am only asking one question, and one question alone.
The question is: Why cant you let us in on the joke? Why exactly why do you find concern about Trump amusing?

Just answer that and we can be done.

Only because he and his cult refuse to let the world forget about him, while the rest of us could only forget him at our own peril.

Sounds like rampant paranoia.
