    Rudy Giuliani was known for taking down the mob before being dubbed “America’s Mayor.” Now he works for the mob.

      Did Putin ever have a “good legacy” in the first place?

        I think it was more for awhile people did not know where he was going with things. I mean he had a career in the kgb so in some ways he seemed like bush senior to me.

        Google will confirm he’s a comedian by trade, and pretty funny. But he showed up at the UFC thing on that guy’s lawn in DC, and didn’t really address the wave of hate he got by ruining his neutral image; not in the slightest.

        It was a bad look, to say the least.

    I’d nominate Elon Musk. All that motherfucker had to do was nothing but make mediocre electric cars and he’d have had a celebrated place in history. Sure, he was always a ridiculous asshole, but relatively few people looked that closely. Now he’s throwing out Nazi salutes and making a public shame of himself. The political right despises electric cars and hence Musk, but Nazis gonna Nazi.

        Lots of people outside the region had sympathy, and wanted to help. Now, much less so.

          I think if Trump had never run for president, he’d have been remembered as a rich guy that hosted a tv show. Most people wouldn’t have bothered to learn about all the shitty things he’s done. I don’t think he had many super fans before politics, but certainly less people hated him.

            He’d have had no cover when the Epstein story broke if he wasn’t president.
