You will be a sleaze forever, Donnie

You've pardoned Mike Flynn, who admitted lying to the FBI (twice).

You've pardoned George Papadopoulos, one of your minions.

Now you've pardoned not just Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, two more of your convicted minions, but Jared Kushner's father, a man convicted of, among other things, threatening a witness.

And you pardoned war criminals who murdered Iraqi civilians.

You will issue other pardons that nauseate decent people. You very likely will pardon yourself, attempting to keep yourself out of federal prison. I almost hope an effort is made to challenge the self-pardon because you are transparently witness-tampering and obstructing justice. It'd be nice if "your" Supreme Court would express its nausea by vomiting your self-pardon back in your face.

Either way, your pardons secure your legacy as the most corrupt president in U.S. history.

However, you are also, and forever will be, the defeated incumbent in the 2020 election. That's how you will be known to history, as a loser. If you consider purely the popular vote, you are a two-time loser.

A corrupt loser. That's who you will forever be to history.

The presidency didn't elevate you: you debased the office. Even after you're evicted from the White House you can insist your sycophants call you "Mr. President" — I personally won't, though the odds we will ever meet are virtually nil — but you will never, ever, ever carry the respect that usually goes with the office.

Because you are, I repeat, a corrupt loser who debased the office.

You think of yourself as "the president" but the rest of us will forever know you as a sleazeball.
