I still see a parallel to general MacArthur with the slobfather

Huge ego, actually seemed to be a prime candidate for the presidency. After Truman finally fired his dumb ass he came back to a hero’s welcome. Then he held up at some fancy hotel and would come out every day to spew his crazy shit, even implying he was the savior. Truman just let him talk and after awhile the people got tired of him and his BS. I think that’s happening to TFG right now. Let him keep whining and lying, more and more people will get sick of it. By the time he goes to trial there will only be a couple dozen truly deluded nut jobs left demonstrating for him.

who went to the infantry officer's basic course back in 1988 told me that they gave an award at the end of the course to the "best looking mediocre officer" in the class. They called it the MacArthur award.
