    You forgot to list other Trump records:

    Most felonies for a candidate of a major party. Most impeached candidate Only candidate to have advised the public to inject or drink bleach

    I’m sure I’m forgetting some others.

      Only candidate ever to have been charged with raping 13 and 12 year old girls as sex slaves and forcing them into sexual acts with each other? Might also be a first, but never discount Reagans ability to be the start of evil deeds in politics.

      Only president to deny the election outcome and sent his riled up goons over to the capital to delay certification for hours.

      Only candidate to have advised the public to inject or drink bleach

      I know this is a popular meme, but he never actually did say this.

      Trump is scum, but I wish we’d continue highlighting the things he actually did regarding COVID rather than rolling out “inject bleach” which the record easily refutes instead of something he can’t deny.

        He definitely did suggest that bleach may be helpful with a Covid infection. It was not an outright statement, but he entertained the idea during a press conference.

            This is a valid point, and therein lies the brilliance of Trumpism—he rattles off enough inane babble, no one can remember exactly what he said at any given moment, nor can anyone be certain about what it is he meant even with on-the-record statements.

            There is no object truth with convicted felon Donald J. Trump—just relative truths where the narrowest window is blown completely out of proportion and we’re left with interpreting the exact size of said window.

            The worst part about this is that we’re left in the lurch squabbling over what is essentially word diarrhea. At this point, to most of us here, I don’t think it actually matters any more what he said—he’s a shit person spewing shit from his mouth and he has no business leading a country, let alone a business, and we agree on that.

            But the objective truth is important, partly to hold ourselves to a higher standard than convicted felon Donald J Trump, but also to clarify misinfo as much as we can for the sake of posterity.
