Unfortunately, Trump's TV career was a screaming success. He had a hit TV show that was unique, and it ran for several seasons.

In addition, and perhaps more importantly, it rehabbed his image from being the poster boy for bumbling, blowhard, failed business hacks, to a successful business professional.

His TV show was the most successful enterprise of his career, and directly led to him becoming president. That's not failure.

Imagining the present right now if any of Trumps businesses didnt go bankrupt

The fact that this is posted on a Fiero forum is hilarious to me! My first car.

SilverFox seems to have a lot of clout/power compared to the other travelers. No one seems to undo SF's edits, so I'm guessing there's more than just a hierarchy of trust there, but that SF has some kind of actual power to incapacify other travellers.

I'm guessing it's not a master reset switch (like the film Primer), since they have to physically go there and extricate the assailants physically. I'm guessing it's some kind of physical power, or at least meticulous planning in grabbing the assailants before they commit the crime.

SilveFox makes it sound easy though, like herding children at best, so I'm thinking more along the lines of some kind of extra power/tech to teleport too(?) which would facilitate the placement of certain items (goats, olive oil, etc.) and give them a huge upperhand in grabbing travellers who probably have to do some degree of walking.

Or maybe SF's device can travel multiple times, whereas other users have to use it more sparingly, limiting the damage they can do

I have had a story idea of a similar time travel concept (with a fake evil person) where each chapter is basically "Ok, thenworld is ending, but we will time travel and stop this despot.". Then they send say, a woman back. Next chapter, "Ghe world is ending, we shall send someone back to stop this despot and his wife, "him, his wife, and his manservant, "hum, his wife, and his respected general, and his manservant."

You get the idea. Basically, everytime travel goes back and gets seduced into helping the evil guy, and each new timeline is unaware of previous attempts, but the historical records mentions "new people".

Seriously tho, he'd likely be replaced with another extremist. It was period of Iron boot dictators in Europe. You could get someone even worse.

Wonderful read

I would go back to the '70s with a case of hair conditioner. It would revolutionize rock'n'roll.

This was such a good read, although I must say please keep all time travel related posts to the "time travel shenanigans" subsection, come on guys.

He wasn't a quality artist, mediocre at best. His architectural paintings have lots of detail, but things like parallel lines in walls are off, and so is perspective.

His renderings of humans was terrible. You may see some landscapes or buildings, but never a portrait.

There was a time when learning to draw was a part of a well-rounded education, so having basic artistic skills wasn't unusual. Hitler's may have been slightly better than average, but he clearly didn't have the natural skill to be a professional.

Think of your school orchestra. The first chair players are probably pretty good. In a Band & Orchestra Competition, they could probably play a pretty impressive solo, but they are still a long ways from getting a chair in any major orchestra in the world. Thats the level that Hitler's art was at.

He failed already at the basics... most of his paintings look nicely but odd... and than you realize he had no idea about perspective, while trying to do realistics paintings.

Ironically, his paintings are probably seen and analyzed more than any of his colleagues'.

If I recall correctly he just cadged off others’ work. It was popular at the time for artists needing some cash to go on location and paint postcards of popular landmarks and sell them to tourists. Hitler simply bought these postcards and copied them into his own art so he wouldn’t have to go paint them himself. He had no real personal style, his work was very conventional.

They lack a human touch. They seem less like paintings done by someone who feels feelings and more like snapshots that just encapsulate the scenery and nothing else. There is no emotional aura.
