Generally, when Donald Trump is whining about corruption, election fraud, abuse of power, or cancel culture, it's a smoke screen to cover his own active misdeeds in these very areas. It's very McCarthy-like in its approach, but fairly effective apparently. Ironically, he has also cried "It's McCarthyism!" while utilizing the very McCarthy style approach of spewing out condemnations with no facts to back them up.

So when we all get to complaining about snowflake libtards pushing "cancel culture," look no further than Donald J Trump - the original - the master.

Cancel on, friends. Cancel on.

It is a shame that he did not get EVERYTHING on that list accomplished and more. Imagine if he had complete authoritarian rule and could do as he pleases.

First, there would be law and order
we would have space ships and flying cars sooner
there would sex robots, trust me
No taxes and no minimum wage, just slavery for those at the bottom (this will not affect me)
black people, gone. You never see them in movies about the future, like really they somewhere get phased out along the way. Trump can get this done.
regulations gone, all of them. especially the clean water act. If you can not afford bottled water, that is your fault.
Boat Parade Fridays
Maga hat requirement for all factory workers.
