Theoden is a good guy though.

He finally helped in the end, but even after he got released from Grima’s control he was like “nah, don’t really want to help” until he gave in.

I sincerely doubt trump has any redemption arc outside of leaving office by any means ASAP.

There won't be a relevant arc unless the distance is really long.

Maybe Trump is a good guy who's been under a spell to make him stupid and vain for decades?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, he's just a shitty, spoiled, brat that grew up to be a terrible person.

The affluenza curse! It's HORRIBLE

Who is Saruman? Where is our Gandalf the White? Wait, this won't work...releasing him from the spell just gets a younger more confident Trump, not any Theoden.

Putin is Saruman.

Our Gandalf the White.. well, “late is the hour in which this conjure chooses to appear…”

That hour hasn’t come yet.

For what it's worth, a younger Trump supported the Democrats and most of their causes. But then he got all pissed off when Obama made fun of him at the White House Correspondent's Dinner and his brain turned to even more mush than it was already and boiled with rage, so he decided to abandon every policy the Democrats had, not that he believed in any of it anyway, and join the far right.

No principles whatsoever.

That's just it, he didn't believe in any causes, he just supported ones that helped him. The only thing that changed his his ability to comprehend things, but he's the same terrible person.

Pretty good reply to the birther conspiracy he was pushing at the time.

Slightly off-topic, but my favorite WH correspondent's dinner video was the one Bill Clinton did as a farewell at the end of his second term. With the older Pete from Pete and Pete!

Edit: Oof, I did forget Kevin Spacey was in this, but no one knew at the time.

That actually was hilarious!

Actually the thing common with trump and muskow, is that they don't believe in any cause, just whatever benefits them personally.

Stalin, if Putin is Sauron.

Other way around. Life imitates art.
