America never celebrated him. He was only ever a punchline, always.

The only people actually in awe of him were likely the human garbage that lives on Staten Island - because as has always been said, "donald trump is a stupid/poor person's idea of a rich/smart person" Including the majority of his life lived in rotting, moldy fake boardrooms where he serially bankrupted terrible businesses while committing crimes and taking money from the mafia/russia.

He is the personification of every narcissist's most evil, broken outbursts.
