I think failing to do anything about COVID and just generally being an incompetent, racist prick will be Trump's lasting legacy. But I feel it is important to remember all of the other dumb shit he did but that we all kind of forgot about. I would say his distractions worked since it's difficult to remember all of the batshit moments from his bizarre 4 years in the white house but he lost reelection so I guess long-term it didn't work.
So what are some dumb Trump moments that we all forgot about? Here are a few off the top of my head
-The berated a war widow over the phone on her way to her Husband's funeral.
-The held a "Fake News Awards" ceremony in the White House, instead of...working
-He said one of his major accomplishments was helping to design the Space Force flag
-The threw paper towel rolls at hurricane victims like he was handing out prizes at a basketball halftime show
-That time he saluted a North Korean general
