Related: About this forumIs it time for a "Donald Trump" forum?
DU is getting two kinds of threads about him: LBN, and everything else. If all the threads about him that were not LBN were moved to their own special forum, we might have an easier time finding our way around the GD forum.
Thank you.

(8,326 posts)BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW HE IS CORRUPT AND HAVE A HARD TIME ACCEPTING THE FACT THAT HE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
People, including myself, have a hard time accepting the fact that America's justice system is rotten to the core. We all like to believe in accountability, that no one is above the law, that good wins over evil. It's just not true. You can argue till hell freezes over that it is, but the facts do not support it.
We are the most incarcerated nation on the planet. The U.S. national incarceration rate of approximately 630 prisoners per 100,000 population, plainly stands out as the worlds highest? The United States leads the world in total number of people incarcerated, with more than 2 million prisoners nationwide (per data released in October 2021 by World Prison Brief).
Meanwhile, high-level executives and politicians are rarely prosecuted or held accountable.
THANK GOD i DRINK!! 😎

(18,625 posts)If LBN is overrun with stories now, it's only going to get worse. Especially if there are ever any indictments of any kind. (I know some DUers are already assuming there never will be, but I don't think it's safe to assume anything at this point.)
Having a dedicated forum would make it easier for those who don't want to hear about him to avoid doing so. And maybe it would lessen the urge to post in every thread about him to complain that people are talking about him, which would be nice, imo.

(18,574 posts)Aside from the my preference to hear/see much less about the great orange plague, in some circles greatness is sometimes figured on the importance or power of ones enemies. I hate the idea of elevating his already widespread internet presence.
My thoughts on trump are well expressed by a quote from the movie Denial by one of the attorneys: "Well, the man's...a racist. It's like having $h!t on your shoe. You wipe it off. You don't study it."
