    How much longer do we have to wait for the Golden Age for America?

    He has oniy about two and one half years left.

    How many here are so tired of winning so much as he has described?

    The golden age in America ended in 1492.

    Interesting to see DT still owns you 24/7. Quit letting everything you see and read make you a miserable human being.
    I'll mention it again. Step away from the brainwashing and BS politics. Get outside and learn to enjoy life.

    If you hate it so much, do something different. Give all your belongings and property and any $$ you may have to a native american. Walk your talk.
    Lord only knows they were busy killing each other and taking land from one another for hundreds or thousands of years before 1492..............

    It is the Europeans who developed the concept of adverse possession.

    Europeans took possession of native lands on account that the natives did not use their lands to its greatest potential.

    Keep it long enough results in ownership.

    Basically, legalized theft according to European common law.

    Adverse possession BS predates Columbus and dates back to the Roman Empire in order to steal land in Europe and beyond...

    Specifically, adverse possession is a legal doctrine that emerged alongside — and arguably enabled — Europe's shift away from common-land stewardship toward extractive colonial economics. When Columbus reached the Americas in 1492, Europe's precious metal supply was modest. A century later, Spanish treasure fleets had delivered over 3,900 metric tonnes of silver and 180+ tonnes of gold to Seville alone (Hamilton, American Treasure and the Price Revolution in Spain, 1934) — extracted through Indigenous forced labor and enslaved Africans. European price levels tripled or quadrupled across the 1500s as a direct result.

    For scale on what a metals flood does to an economy: NASA's Psyche mission is currently en route to the asteroid 16 Psyche, a metallic body estimated to contain enough iron, nickel, and precious metals to be worth roughly $10,000 quadrillion — more than the entire current global economy by orders of magnitude. If even a fraction were returned to Earth, it would collapse precious metal markets entirely, much as Spanish silver collapsed European purchasing power four centuries ago. The colonial looting of the Americas was, in economic terms, the original 16 Psyche on a functioning monetary system.

    Glad those 3 cavemen from the north never killed that caveman from the south so they could use his land as a vacation cave.

    He should plate all the later-removed slatherings of his name all over the creation, with it -- Pyrite's gold :p

    That makes it sound like he always says "two weeks", but honestly, I think his best is "in the next period of time", which is about as multipurpose as it gets.

    It's same color as the emperor's beautiful clothes that he's actually not wearing.

    Yeah, it's the golden age for those who have the gold.

    That includes the grifters and the cheats.

    His own person Golden Age has certainly arrived, to the tune of over $4 Billion so far this term.

    Looks like pardons are going for a few $million a pop.

    Plus deeply entrenched racism. Europeans, my ancestors, thought they were better beings, different beings. I am favored going out my door today with no one looking at my race as inferior or not human.
    Of course my ancestors in Europe were peasants who probably died in their twenties, just in time to have babies. They were unaware of most things about the world. Now we know better.
    We were heading in the right direction until this blip in the radar came along and set us back.
