    NBC had to stop carrying the show “The Biggest Loser” because it was clear in 2015 both who accurately held the title and would continue to for the next decade.

      Joke falls flat.

      Dude became president of the wealthiest most greedy nation on earth. As a greedy fuck he won the best prize possible. And now there is a god damned cult following him, and stacked the supreme Court in his favour to gain him complete immunity.

      He is a piece of shit, but that does not sound like losing.

      Losing sounds like the Democrats.

      But sure sure he’s the biggest loser. 34 felony charges and dude ends up in the White House a second time.

      I wish I could lose so hard

        See, this is where you misunderstand what a loser is.

        A loser isn’t someone that lost something or failed at something. Most people fail at things in life, it’s crucial to growth, and everyone loses things eventually…that’s just life.

        Trump isn’t a loser in this case because he didn’t win the prize. He’s a loser because of how desperately and embarrassingly he campaigned to get it in the first place. That’s biggest loser behavior.

        Another great example of how Trump is the biggest loser is how he has all of the world leaders over for an event to the white house, and he shows off his closet full of red baseball caps.

        The dude reaches new depths of loserdom daily.

          That doesn’t make sense? I Wich I was half the loser Trump was. I don’t know what I’d do with all the billions.

            Look man, by wanting to be like Trump, you’re already halfway there.

            Elon Musk is a huge loser too. I mean, can you imagine being the richest guy in the world and paying to pretend you’re a top gamer? Big, sweaty loser vibes.

            This comment made me think how differently we can think of a winner. I guess in America, it means money. But it can also mean being a human being others aspire to be.

            I guess it depends on what we think is the goal of life. Is it to gather money?

            Obviously its a goal for everyone to have some money so its not a problem in daily life to buy what we need.

        By pitting US against US while in office, he already lost. This cannot end well for him.

          Seriously, why?

          I mean, he’s never been in the vicinity of any consequences for his many horrible actions and crimes, so why is this so bad for him?

        It is not just him, but all his followers are losing too.

        They just are such big losers that they don’t understand it.

        So that just makes it seem like Trump is winning.

        And him as a leader is making the US a loser too.

        We’ll see in a couple of decades how History paints him. Like one big loser that kept trying to grab power.

          I agree that history will not me kind, but the thing is he won’t be alive to see that AND he’s deluded/demented so it won’t matter what happens in the future or about his legacy.
          Basically unless he sees consequences before he dies then he’s won.

            Fascist regimes don’t usually end that well for the fascist at the center of them. Time will tell with this one. He has the advantage of advanced age on his side.

          What praise? He getting away with his crimes. America is a fucking joke

            Calling someone a winner would be praise. He fails at anything he attempts unless it’s spreading hatred and violence and he even fails at that often.

              So then why is he president? Why has he not been in jail for his crimes.

              “He fails at anything he attempts”

              Dude is twice president of the United States.

              He very much succeeded at that.

              I don’t accept your interpretation of praise. We very much are not saying the same thing. I have no praise, or any other type of respect for him. Let me be clear about this. Winning the lottery by rigging the results and getting away with it is not praise.

              Saying he succeeded at something is not praise, it is facts. Simple facts.

              Why are you ignoring the absolute insanity of rewarding him for his disgusting personality and beliefs by ignoring his much he is winning from the chaos and inhumanity he creates and represents.

              “He’s actively making the world a hellscape for most people, while doing everything he wants without consequence, but he’s the biggest loser of all time so it’s cool because we can feel like we are a superior to him. So that’s all okay” is how the joke hits for me and is why I commented. It’s just not funny man take this more seriously or you, his natural enemy I’m assuming, are going to continue to be bent over and fucked dry and bloody with a smoker on your face because you are going high and he is going low.
