What does American support for Trump say about this country?

[shortylickens]

Americans are stupid, lazy, and ignorant.

They are ignorant cuz they dont know or remember all the bullshit Trump did in the 80's and 90's.

They are lazy because they wont spend 2 minutes on Google to look up his past.

They are stupid because even if they do know about him they still take him seriously as someone who could fill the Oval Office.

I feel more sad for this primary than any other primary I've seen.

What does American support for Hillary say about this country? Between Trump and her and all the dipshits in between we are all fucked.

As much as I dislike Hillary at least she has political experience, not to mention some successes in her life.

Trumps biggest success was manipulating the system to get himself cleared of every business disaster he's created. He's an evil, incompetent, mean, nasty, lazy, hateful, fat, evil piece of shit. And for some sick reason theres more than a handful of people in America who honestly think he's fit to be president.

TBH I'd already assumed that he was pretty corrupt, I just hadn't realised what a thin skinned whiner he was.

His temper tantrums so far don't really bode well for him ever getting anything done as President (not that that's going to be a realistic problem but...)

I thought his response to the question about his 4 bankruptcies was really bad. He basically said, yeah I fucked people using our govt laws, but everybody does. Well sir you are a real maverick that will change the corrupt system we live within.

Which is why we deserve him. I've... seen things... you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion; I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate... All those... moments... will be lost, in time, like tears... in... rain. Time... to die.

You, my zen friend, are awarded 1 Internet Win.

And yet the corrupt and greedy banksters use those same financial laws and gigantic loop holes every single day, and the taxpayers are forced to bail them out when they inevitably fail, and all with nary a whimper of complaint from their bought and paid for political lackeys.

And the sweet irony of the banksters helping to build the Trump juggernaut that may help knock them back down to manageable size, certainly isn't lost on me.

It is a pretty amazing statement when you think about it:

"Yes, I used the system to fuck over people who were stupid enough to trust me with their support."

"Now please support me, I swear it's going to be awesome."

Do you think Trump personally attempts to micro manage every single facet of his sprawling business empire? Obviously not. Because you hire people to manage your organization that you think you can trust, who then hire the various managers and employees for the various hotels and what not, and if they all happen to fail you, then the one at the top of the pile is always blamed and left holding the bag. Does he bear some responsibility for his failures then? Certainly he does. But just like with all the bank failures, you can't make the CEO 100% responsible for what the financial advisers and the rest of the bean counters might promote as a good financial idea that eventually wasn't. And I also doubt those various financial slackers that were screwing up Trump's finances and giving him bad financial advice are still working for him.

Maybe he will do the same thing with our debt to the Chinese......

What does it say?

There's a reason Howard Stern was #1 in the radio biz. We like shock and awe.

"What does American support for Trump say about this country?"

Should say: What does Republican support for Trump say about this country?

Answer: There's a lot of angry Republicans...not any surprise here.

the 70s has a lot in common with the 10's

Howard Stern for President!!!

Howard Stern for President!!!

At least he's honest. He'd be a small improvement over the last 41 presidents.

Billary never met a lover, advisary or business partner that they didn't kill, except for one another.

ark·an·cide
noun

Arkancide is the unfortunate habit of potential witnesses to the Clintons' dirty dealings in Arkansas suddenly deciding to shoot themselves twice in the back of the head. Police and Coroners in Arkansas, notably Fahmy Malak who answered to Governor Bill Clinton, automatically described these shootings as "suicides."

After Bill Clinton became President the phenomenon spilled over to Washington D.C. when Hillary Clinton's ex-lover Vincent Foster was "Arkancided."


The more Trump trolls the more his chances of winning increase. As evidenced by the Internet, people love/hate trolls and relate to them most. At least it will be more entertaining than watching Rome burn.

I love that line. I wish someone would ask him what leverage he thinks he has to get them to pay for it.

Well if they don't hurry up and do something, they're going to lose all their rapists and drug mules. And maybe some, I assume, good people. But primarily rapists and drug mules. Those are the people a country really wants to hang on to.

 

[marincounty]

What do you expect when democrats run a god damn criminal and it doesnt even seem to matter to the frickin sheeple what the hell she does? This country was gone long before Trump threw his hat in the ring.

You should be fine with Hillary then. GWB was our first convicted criminal president and our first admitted alcoholic president.
Hillary hasn't even been arrested yet.

It's no surprise statist types who believe in government bailouts of failed investments would criticize trump for letting failing businesses go into bankruptcy, you know instead of using money from his successful ventures to keep bailing out failing enterprises. Because more stimulus of zombie ventures is also the answer.

Initially when he came out I supported him thinking he would use much of his business sense to fix a lot of the financial issues and shrink gov. But when he was making generalized comments about Hispanics and his pretty nasty comments about women....

I can no longer support him. However it seems he has a strong following enough for him to participate in the GOP debate. Especially, the audience was cheering him on when he was pretty much calling Rosie O'Donnell a fat pig.

What does this say about this country? The American support for him seems to reinforce the stereotype that Republicans are just a bunch of racist, sexists, bigots.

Plenty of racists, sexists and bigots on the left. That ain't no stereotype.

So what does it say about this country? It says that there are a lot of disenfranchised people, who aren't being served by mainstream politicians. Mainstream politicians aren't going to fix that.

I don't think you ever supported him or any Republican candidate. Of course that's not the response you're looking for.

Have a nice day.

I agree, every damn politician is a damn joke. At least this Trump character doesn't give a shit. Those other politicians on the outside say they give a shit, but down inside they only care about getting re-elected, they could give two shits less that they are fucking up this county. I think that is what the population is trying to tell us.

 

[michal1980]

He is the preferred candidate of 25% of Republicans, not 25% of Americans.

Damn those high-falootin ivory tower liberals that actually read the polls!



What groups that the left defends are you comparing Trump supporters to, specifically?

Lol.

So 12.5% of the country supports him. Still a sizable group. Bigger then the number of illegals liberals love, bigger then the number of islamists the left always defends, etc etc. Tons of groups.
