The "accomplishments" of 45

Trump's idiotic 'trading cards' are the last straw for Republicans

45 has a terrific track record with his latest accomplishment, selling collectable digital NFTs showing his head photoshopped onto cartoon bodies he only wishes he had, Republicans have begun to abandon him. It is puzzling, to put it mildly, that this latest grift in a lifetime of grifting could be Trump's bridge too far for many Republicans.

It's not puzzling IMHO but read on. This is a VERY SHORT take on a very long list, courtesy Raw Story

Taking more than $400 million (in today's dollars) from his father and, during the decade between 1985 and 1994, losing more than a billion — more than anyone else in America — and declaring bankruptcy several times while claiming to be a great businessman?

Losing vast amounts of money while running a casino, a business where the house always wins?

Reacting to the collapse of the Twin Towers on 9/11 by claiming that the building he owned on Wall Street had been "the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan — and now it's the tallest"?

Declaring "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters." To some of his devoted voters, this statement actually applies.

His sex escapades are truly epic. Click Raw Story yet again for the choice tidbits ...

45's comments on the world at large

Calling Mexicans drug dealers and rapists?

Admitting that his "university" was a scam?

Refusing to release his income tax returns?

Asking Russia to help him dig dirt on a political opponent?

Mocking a person with a disability?

Intentionally separating migrant children from their families and putting children in cages?

And last but not least, the bravery of the man stands apart in American history. 

Faking "bone spurs" to avoid being drafted and later saying he felt "like a great and very brave soldier" in his "personal Vietnam" of avoiding STDs from all the girls he had sex with while other men were overseas, because vaginas are "potential landmines"?

Excellent to a fault.
