One of his keen attributes, which you alluded to but never really surfaced, is how utterly mean he is. I would imagine that most bullies are mean but Trump takes it to a new level.
Also, how would one describe the people who follow and applaud his personality and behavior? I would love to know how to describe those people, besides “Trumpers”. There has to be a more accurate name for them.
Erwin Rommell6 days ago
Yes, there are more accurate names for people who support Herr Trump: Trumpnazi, MAGAnazi, Republinazi, QAnonnazi, Evangelinazi, Christinazi, Christian Nazional, Shithead, Fuckup, Asshole, Traitor, Quisling, Criminal, Felon, Baptinazi, Pentecostalnazi...the list goes on.
The farmers in the Midwest in states such as Iowa, Kansas, Texas, Nebraska, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Arkansas supported El Loco Trumpo to a significant degree, and they are going to feel the brunt of Dear Leader's tariffs since so much of their farm output such as wheat, corn, soybeans, beef, pork, chicken and other commodities are exported, especially to China. The Chinese can easily turn to other suppliers and leave Trump-supporting farmers in the lurch. And that is a good thing. Goody, goody gumdrops! Many of them believe with their heart and soul that the Lord God Almighty in Heaven on High anointed Trump to save America when it was in fact the Prince of Darkness, Mr. Satan, who anointed Trump, his evil spawn, to destroy America. They swallowed Herr Trump's bullshit lock, stock and barrel, and they deserve whatever bad things come their way. These bad things may be weather-related as a result of climate change, in which they will suffer a double whammy financially with crops and markets destroyed. I hope they all go bankrupt. I hope they lose their farms. I hope they can't send their kids to college. I hope they end up living in a cardboard Maytag washing machine box under a freeway overpass on I-40, I-70, I-80, I-90 in the dead of winter. They have sold their country down the river and have helped this creature/monster from Queens, NY establish his Nazi regime. Fuck them all.

This writer is wrong on so many levels. Trump cares about the American people which is why he is deporting murderers and rapists. It's why he is trying to protect girls in sports and also prevent boys and men from being in girls and women's locker rooms. It's why he is saving American taxpayers billions of dollars in wasteful spending and it's why he is ending years of racist policies. He also has a great sense of humor and is absolutely hysterical.

Poor Trump. He was at his epitome as a reality television star when all of his viewers admired him. But like all self-loathing, needy cripples, Trump wants adulation from everybody, which he will never realize. And so he fell prey to the Peter Principle, getting in over his head, and learning the hard way that the millions which are contemptuous of his shallowness are firm in their hatred. This gives the creep sleepless nights and escalates his psychosis.

I am an American. I believe in the values and promise of my country, even though we haven't always lived up to them. But now I feel shame and despair. I don't understand how a majority, albeit slim, of our voters fell for the lies and failed to understand the danger this man represents. Our country and the world must now suffer through 4 years of depravity on every level. And the damage that this sorry, despicable man and his minions inflict on all of us may be hard to repair. Will our allies ever trust America again? Will the people impacted by the end of USAID ever trust us again? But we can't surrender. We must show to one another and the world that we still stand for honesty, integrity, freedom and human rights. Martin Luther King said that hate cannot conquer hate. Only love can. Darkness cannot overcome darkness. Only light can. I promise to do everything I can in the next four years to overcome this darkness. I believe in the basic decency of the American people and I believe we will prevail. Meanwhile, pray for us!

The draconian way Trump and his psychophants are laying off Federal workers is all part of Trump's plan to put a stranglehold on the people of the United States in order to cement his Nazi regime in place. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see him and his sycophants and psychophants come forth with a loyalty oath that all citizens must sign to show loyalty to him personally and not to the US Constitution in order to continue to get Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Obamacare and other benefits given by the Federal Gov't. The corruption, graft, grift and evil perpetrated by these Trumpnazis is unprecedented in the history of this country, and it's all calculated to enrich the billionaires who will support Dear Leader no matter what because it's all about $$$$$$$$. This is what happened in Germany in the 1930s when the German businessmen who ran BMW, Daimler-Benz, Bayer, I.G. Farben, Siemens, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, Hugo Boss and others all sucked up to dear Adolf, he of the funny mustache and bad haircut, and set their country on a path to Armageddon and Götterdämmerung. And we're seeing the same happen with business people here in the U.S. Just you watch. The worst is yet to come. We ordinary folk will be the poorer for it and the billionaires will be the richer.

Reichstag Rheinhard35 days ago
The Enabling Act of 1933 (German: Ermächtigungsgesetz), officially titled Gesetz zur Behebung der Not von Volk und Reich (lit. 'Law to Remedy the Distress of People and Reich'), was a law that gave the German Cabinet – most importantly, the Chancellor [Adolf Hitler] – the power to make and enforce laws without the involvement of the Reichstag or the Weimar President Paul von Hindenburg, leading to the rise of Nazi Germany. Critically, the Enabling Act allowed the Chancellor to bypass the system of checks and balances in the constitution.
The United States Supreme Court, in its infinite wisdom, in effect passed an American version of the Enabling Act in its infamous presidential immunity decision published on July 1, 2024. The decision, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, established a broad new immunity from prosecution, not just for Herr Präsident Trump, but for past and future presidents, too. Presidents may not be prosecuted for exercising their “core” constitutional powers, and even in situations where former presidents might be prosecuted after leaving office, they are entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for official actions they took as president.
So anything that Herr Präsident Trump does, be it official or not, will be declared official by der Führer so that he can literally shoot someone on 5th Avenue or Pennsylvania Ave and get away with it. The German Enabling Act of 1933 gave Adolf Hitler absolute life-and-death control over the lives of every German citizen, and the Supreme Court's decision this past July gives Führer Trump absolute life-and-death control over the lives of every American citizen.
So, all you people out there in the red states (and in some blue states too) who decided that God had anointed Herr Trump to save America, I hope you get your comeuppance. The problem is, we Never Trumpers will get whacked as well.

To which I reply, look no further. In the United States, in 2024, seventy million voters decided that, despite having given the world luminaries such as Roosevelt, King, Ms. Hamer, Gov Stevenson, Lewis Mumford, Benjamin E Mays, etc. etc. - that despite this history of excellence, - the US should be seen in the world as being represented by so grotesque a creature as this Hitler-like clown intent on dismantling every monument to civilized humane progress he could get within his grasp.

The Roman Catholic Church has a long history of opposition to abortion and it lent its power and magisterium to the effort to overturn Roe v. Wade. Accomplishing this meant supporting an immoral and amoral individual who pandered to the anti-abortion crowd by promising to appoint justices to the U.S. Supreme Court who would overturn Roe v, Wade. And the Catholic Church was happy as a pig in shit when six Supreme Court justices, five of them Catholic and one who was raised Catholic but switched to the Episcopal Church, overturned Roe v. Wade that led to the sorry and tragic spectacle of women with problematic pregnancies being made to bleed out in hospital parking lots before they're given life-saving medical treatment. But now Holy Mother Church is pissed at Pope Donald the First because of his draconian immigration policies. Here's what I say to Holy Mother Church: You helped create the Trumpenstein monstercreature, so now suffer the consequences of his un-Christian policies as you tut-tut his outrages.

When historians write the history of the United States beginning from 12:01 PM on January 20, 2025, they will write of "The Reign of Terror" that began on that date. Another country experienced what has become known as "The Reign of Terror," and that was France during the French Revolution from 1789 to 1799 when things went totally crazy and an estimated 35,000 to 40,000 people lost their lives, many from the guillotine (aka The Iron Maiden):
The Reign of Terror (French: la Terreur) was a period of the French Revolution when, following the creation of the First Republic, a series of massacres and numerous public executions took place in response to revolutionary fervour, anticlerical sentiment, and accusations of treason by the Committee of Public Safety.

Herr Trump likes to portray himself as a gung-ho American patriot as he waves the flag and slanders and defames those who oppose him as communists, fascists, traitors and worse. Herr Trump is the most un-American president in the history of our great country. His "America First" mantra is a throwback to the fascist movement pushed by Charles A. Lindbergh back in the 1930s that was also called "America First." Whether knowingly on purpose or blissfully ignorant, his shibboleths "Save America" and "Make America Great Again" echo those originally made by Adolf Hitler in his Nazi screed "Mein Kampf" first published in 1925, except Hitler's were in German and Deutschland was what needed to be saved and made great again. And that all ended well, now, didn't it? Sieg Heil! Heil Trump! Rettet Amerika! Macht Amerika wieder gross! What absolute fucking bullshit.

Don't be surprised when Elon Muck pays El Estupido Trumpo's $86 million judgment won by E. Jean Carroll and the $450 million judgment won by New York State Attorney General Letitia James. And then there's the $277 million Herr Muck pumped into our Fuehrer's presidential campaign, and, well, now we know why President Muck has so much power over President Drumpfkopf.

And now, even more insanity from Der Drümpfkopf: He says he wants the U.S. to take ownership of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it (he wants to turn it into a resort!!! Really!!!) after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere. (Hey, Drümpfkopf: Where are you going to resettle two million plus Palestinians, you fucking shithead? Not Jordan, not Egypt, nor any other Arab country will accept them, and no other country will either). He wants to turn Gaza into "The Riviera of the Middle East," filled with ultra-luxury hotels, condos and spas that his company will no doubt build and own so that he can make oodles of more moolah. You don't have to be a trained and licensed psychiatrist, psychotherapist, psychologist or any other kind of mental health care professional to know that Herr Trump is seriously and significantly mentally ill. And still the Republinazi sycophants and psychophants in the Congress do his bidding even though they know this Katzenjammer Kid is the most dangerous man in the world, as his niece Mary L. Trump so adroitly described in her book of a few years back. Shame, shame, shame, shame.

I don't know much at all about this writer but I do know that this writer knows nothing about Donald Trump. Donald Trump is one of the wittiest, smartest, and most charming POTUS ever. Donald Trump is a winner. A man that cares about America. While Britain as a country can be defined as being losers. A nation in full decline, soon to be overwhelmed by immigrants that don't give a toss about Britain...only the welfare money that they collect. While Barack Obama was a fraud and charlatan, adapting his personality, his accents and verbiage to suit whatever crowd he spoke to, not to mention being a pathological liar, as the saying goes, "Bulls**t baffles brains". So many black Americans couldn't stand Obama. He did precious nothing to improve their lives while at the same time enriching himself beyond imagination. And so, while I admire all things British, this writer should do some homework instead of relying solely on what some minions of those with Trump Derangement Syndrome espouse. According to the hack that wrote this piece, 70 some-odd million Americans as well as many more hundreds of millions of people worldwide, including this Canadian, are out of their...our...minds. Has this writer looked at the last parade of dullard clowns that have been elected as PM in Britain lately? And so, hate and disparage Trump all you want, if it makes your own puny lives appear to be larger. But we cheerless Trump supporters are having the most boisterous last laugh...at you!

Trump's attack on the corrupt USAID and hoped-for evisceration of the woke capture of US institutions is bound to upset the virtue-signaling left in both the UK and the USA, and his promised audit to determine and hopefully pursue those who stole billions from the American taxpayer to promote Project Ukraine should worry more than a few of them now that Vance and Rubio have admitted that the US deceived both the Ukrainians, American citizens and anyone else stupid enough to believe that Zelenskey could win America's war to weaken Russia
The remaining Ukrainians plus most of the 85% of the non-Anglosphere world seem to have woken up to "Biden's" plan to finance Zelensky with enough money and clapped out weaponry to weaken Russia with no real hope of him actually winning but enough to destroy Ukraine for Corporate America's takeover, but it all went wrong and Vlad looks as if he is going to have to carry on to the Polish border and dictate peace terms thereafter
Obviously, senile Biden cannot be held to account, (although Trump did mention that when Sleepy Joe pardoned the Biden crime family for all and any future criminal charges he forgot to pardon himself), but as Biden's brain Nuland, Sullivan, Blinken and friends could be
America's backfiring sanctions that managed to deindustrialise the EU instead of Russia and destroy the American petrodollar instead of the RF economy have added to the escalating US $37 trillion debt, deficit, and interest which neither Trump's sanctions nor Musk's promised swamp-draining can reverse now that the debt is too big, the swamp is too deep and it is years too late, added to which Trump is by nature a spendthrift and splurger who will increase the debt
America's friends and foes alike are trying to distance themselves from US hegemony and the US dollar while the average American clings to the belief that some 350 million US consumers are more important to world trade than some 8 billion consumers who make up the rest of the planet, all of whom need Russian resources and Chinese manufactured goods and none of whom "need" America
At the risk of giving our pearl-clutching witty and articulate writer from England an attack of the vapours, his time and wisdom would be better directed at our own useless and utterly devoid of charm, humour, empathy and seemingly psychotic lefty half-wit of a Prime Minister's attempts to further impoverish UK taxpayers

I think he means well even if he is clueless. But seriously, now you are over the initial shock, you need to unite and take your country back from this orange clown and his Hitler wannabe sidekick! A bit of advice - you aren't going to be able to do it just with words and wringing of the hands.

The cities are a forlorn version of what they were 3 decades ago. In Trump they see someone outside the "swamp". Unfortunately, he is likely to be much the same as all the others.

Trump is a Nazi, and Trumpism is Nazism. Yale University historian Timothy Snyder penned a prescient message on Twitter some months ago that says it all about this low-life spawn of Satan: "If Trump wins, America ends." Herr Trump's totally unfit Mr. Pretty Boy Pete Hegseth and former FUX News host has now become the Secretary of Defense. If Trump keys in the nuclear codes and says to him, "Launch the nukes against Iran," Petey will do it without hesitation. Kash Patel is El Loco Trumpo's Heinrich Himmler, and he will most likely be chosen by the Republinazi traitors and stooges in the U.S. Senate to be FBI Director, an agency that will become America's Gestapo. There are no words to describe the pockmark-faced Tulsi Gabbard's unfitness to become Director of National Intelligence in light of her sponsoring legislation as a Congresswoman to pardon traitor Edward Snowden (Hawaii, how could you ever have been so stupid to elect this Grindl to represent you in the U.S. House of Representatives?), her backdoor consultation with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad and her admiration of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. These three are just a few of the abominable appointees Herr Führer Präsident Drümpfkopf has come up with. Our national government has become a Confederacy of Dunces. Nate White got it right.

Stiff upper lip humor is drier than the driest part of Sahara sands. All the British are tittering!!! Yah, they think, what else can you expect from a Punjabi who is American except farmed lack of sophistication. Coming to the point, these British, nay the English, well a few Irish, some other Scots but mostly English English (this is deliberate as English do speak English but with all varieties of accents for words that are spelled in a hundred different ways, mostly wrong and that too declared by Oxford dictionary). The point is they still consider residents of the Palace their rightful masters, moral examples, the imbecilic Royalty. Kings having Queens who are not legally Queens. Racists based on color but would not admit it because that would not be British and or English. Who the f..k is Henry??? O! the one who wed a half breed??? No wonder he is in the land of Trump.

If I may steal a Britain stereotypical phrase, I daresay you hit it on the nose. Being an American in California, I'm honestly amazed how he even ran again. I know people like to compare him to Hitler or Stalin, but that would be giving him undeserved credit. Instead i find Trump is more akin to Mao Zadong. After all, Mao nearly destroyed his own country in the same way Trump is trying to destroy America. Both were extraordinary lazy and crass. They both treated/treat science like it was/is black magic. They speak at rallies and make proclamation after proclamation like they're gods. Then they give out lousy advice, if you can call it that. They're both womanizers and unfaithful to their wives and both are without question pedophiles on top of that. Both are criminals who would do anything to stay in power and create cults to do just that. Frankly, I expect Trump to call upon his Militia followers to attack the US Military because it is body that is threat to him just as Mao called upon his Red Guard to attack the PLA. Both are also afraid and loathe to good hygienic and dietary habits and carry that same loathing against people smarter than them and teachers, professors, instructors, a list of whose who really. It is reallt pathetic we have that fat slug as President.

I will point out that Donald J Trump is also a businessman that has amassed quite a fortune, and he did it merely by starting with, let's see... a much larger one. Yes.
As an American, I have to say I have to stand in amazement at the ability to do that, given he's done it without using any of the normal ways of performing such a feat, such as owning auto racing team, or losing sports team, but instead was able to do it by incredulous levels of acumen, such as running a major casino into the ground. That takes a certain skill that you must admit is... something. It's something I'd like to try myself, if only I can get someone to leave me a fortune.

Being a New Englander, whose family came over on the Mayflower, I wonder if this is why I can completely agree with every word here.
For those who want to know why anyone voted for him, there are a few points to consider. One is that only 66% of voters voted and 51% of these voters voted for him. So, that’s what? He got 34%? - of course, like me, many feel those 33% who did not vote, gave him the election. Sad.
Now, I currently live in the south and the most bizarrely crazy reason I heard was evangelical ministers in the very rural areas were actually preaching that T was the antichrist and he will bring on the rapture… Anti-Vacciners were going to ride this pony straight over a cliff, nothing else matters. And a lot of people lost jobs and businesses from the Pandemic, and they blame Biden. But mostly it’s all about money. People think these oligarch billionaires will make more money, their pension funds will grow and investments yield high.
Our country has vast areas of low population, rural poor and uneducated who vote for the guy waving a Bible who has snake oil for sale. And these are the people who will suffer.
Sadly many like me are sick, we wake grieving and we feel like we are at our country’s funeral.

The article is correct. Putin and his ilk benefit the most form the civil chaos that tRump is creating in America. I pray that the Good Lord removes him from public view every day. tRump's mother said he would make a mess of politics. That has been his most notable success. He cannot cite a favorite passage from the Bible--presumably because he hasn't read any of it let alone live by it. The undereducated whites are his most devoted followers. Why anyone's praising stopping federal payments for food for the poor or stopping cancer research is beyond me.

Just so you know Carla, Australians think he a lying wanker too. Should be in jail. Bat-shit crazy, & going to f*ck the world for the next 4 years. He's only been in one week & we all wish the 4 yrs was up already. Problem is he's going to make sure one of his nutter kids takes his place later on, if he can't make sure he himself can stay in like Putin has made sure no one can ever contest him. When you punch down on the vulnerable like he does, it just makes you a pathetic example of a "man".

Andy57 days ago
Oh Irene, Nate is just telling it like it is. Trump is not blunt & straightforward, he's mean & a felon! Most people outisde of the USA think that he's a straight up nutter, & there is NO limit to criticism if you are a mean=spirited person like he is, no matter if he is the President of the United States. NO ONE should be above the law!
Jack55 days ago
What’s unfair about the criticism? Trump is neither ‘blunt or straightforward’ he’s simply a bully who needs to be put in his place and since he’s now too old and flaccid for a solid ass-kicking, this editorial and hopefully more like it will have to do.

Wait till their food doesn't go down in price, till they have no one to pick their fruit & veg (yes Americans we be offered these jobs since Trump has BS'ed that they will take them), that he is upset that a female Priest called him out on his shit... It so sad to see this mindless support, from the other side of the world (Australia). How can they say No one listens to our views when Trump/Elon etc are just billionaires who have no idea what the real world is like. He just gave them lip-service to get their vote, for his ego & more money/control. Look at all the tech billionaires sucking up to him now that he is President. It was a sad day to see him "win".

If lefties, liberals and democrats take a good, hard, critical look into all the slanderous things that have been thrown at the man for the past 8 years, they'd understand the injustice he's suffered through. It would (and has) killed lesser men. This is what America voted for and it's what America needs! Thank God for Donald J. Trump, the most consequential president since George Washington.

Toby….this is for you. Lighten up. Clearly you don’t know humor when you see it. I would suggest that also learn more about this country….preferably not from partisan cable news. This country has many flaws, but so do most. However, for those of us who’ve lived here multiple decades, we see the degradation of discourse and the abandonment of honesty and the new penchant for saying whatever you want and declaring it to be the truth…when it is not….as some of our greatest threats. The rest we can deal with. But the erosion of facts is hard to come back from. Think on that for a while.

I have no doubt that Trump did not win the election. He has never participated in any one single venture that wasn’t tainted by his lies and corruption. Not one! The maga crowd/facilitators and tech billionaires had 4 years to fix the election. It is very sad indeed (incompetent and impotent) that not one democrat pushed for a manual recount of maybe just one swing state. Just one. Ugh.
Toby58 days ago
I'm hoping there might be room on this page for civil discourse although as we are discussing a hit piece on Mr. Trump I am not optimistic. Up front I will say that I'm a walk-away Democrat who voted for The Donald. He is a flawed man, like all of us. But one put under the microscope, kicked by the press, shot at, unfairly tried, and more, who has showed his resilience after all that has been done to him but still come through - how many of us would have given up? Is this the characteristic of a weak man? I suggest that instead he is what America needs right now. He is not a nice man, but I didn't vote for him based on how telegenic he is or whether I would invite him to dinner. Instead I did so out of concern for the country that adopted me - billions wasted on illegal immigrants, high inflation, and slow-walking of drilling permits such that we have to buy oil from dictatorships like Venezuela or countries that mistreat women like Saudi Arabia, stewardship of families being eroded from parents, all the trans issues, sex-change operations for incarcerated illegals, inflow of highly-lethal fentanyl and more. Think of the hospitals and schools that could have been built, the veterans tended to, the social security that could have been paid to those Americans in need instead of what has been spent on non-US citizens, and now all Americans have the bill to clean this mess up. And, with respect, might I mention that name-calling is not a sensible form of complaint - criticize Trump, or me, or anyone else, by the results they achieve, rather by whether or not one thinks them humorless. You appear to have zero confidence in the large majority of Americans who voted him in - but they've spoken in giving him the Electoral vote, the Popular vote, the Senate and the House, not done since 2007, and voted him in again after a previous trial period of four years. Let’s give the majority the opportunity to speak. I truly believe this is the best result for all of us, and that America had a close call with socialist disaster, and coming from a socialist-ruled country I can tell you it’s a dangerous, oppressive flop - there's your dictatorship. Want humor? Watch TTK give a speech, or listen to Tommy Cooper . . .

Sorry, I do not go around grabbing women's "pussies", stealing official paperwork hiding it in my bathroom, had sex with Stormy while my wife had a baby, didn't accept THAT HE LOST & incited a riot, & so much more. He is a weak man, & gets other to do his bidding. Take away Elon & his money & social platform & he wouldn't have been able to spread all the BS & Lies that he did. "They're eating the dogs, they're eating the pets!" The man just lies & lies & lies! "Large majority" that voted for him, a third of America couldn't even get their arses of your lounges to be bothered to vote!

Well written and funny. The sad fact is, that many of the traits that President Bush, oh sorry Trump presents are in the British psychi and British public. We as a nation are not immune from bullying, in fact we built an empire on it. We alongside the USA have commited war crimes. We take sides, and support other bullies. We point the finger at other countries misdemeanors yet perpetrate similar ourselves. This country greatly suffers from the sad shadow of hypocrisy. Remember we voted in Boris Johnson, a man very similar to Trump, with similar ideas. The sense of humour, yes, but many counties lack a 'broad' sense of humour, and this country is not immune to silencing satire. President Obama, yes a pretty decent bloke, but remember, he ordered the murder of a terrorist and his family, I believe, not bringing that person to trial. He never brought those locked up indefinitely in Guantanamo bay to trial either. Hey, ho. Voting systems that can be manipulated to win elections. When was the last democratic vote that a majority of voters put their X on the victorious party or president?...I suspect never.

The sad part is that it isn't pure stupidity. The movement is based on the scapegoating of racism and zelophobia, which falls on fertile ground, because both American parties adopted the recipe for Oligarchy that was Reagan's trickle down economy. So an angered and frighted and robbed nation has adopted modern nazism, not out of stupidity, but out of ignorance and fear and want. At this time of year we might remember the Ghost of Christmas present's children... "They are Man’s….And they cling to me, appealing from their fathers. The boy is Ignorance. The girl is Want. Beware of them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased."

In the age of Classical Greece, Plato penned the allegory of the cave, in which he imagined a period when humanity would be deprived of sunshine and thus enlightenment, and would see only the shadows cast by the sun. The people of the cave would then begin to view the shadows as genuine reality and proceed to make their life decisions based on this skewed vision. In 1965, Entertainment Television was judged to be a vast wasteland, a modern-times representation of Plato’s cave. Since that time, Entertainment Television has gotten steadily worse, peddling legalized narcotics and dumb diversions like The Apprentice. But the damage had already been done. The public gulped down the pills and grew enamored of The Apprentice,, a shadowy, phony reality. The people began to perceive that the fake was real - that what glistened must be gold. But it’s all fake. Now we have a fake star trying to be a real star, and people by the millions have been duped. And that is because Entertainment Television is itself a narcotic, an agent intended to numb the mind and suspend the capacity to judge. Every serious person who has spent any time at all around the President-elect has testified to his shallowness, his incuriosity, his arrested development. But they forget his genius as a star of reality television, and these are the qualities that have many of his countrymen in thrall. Fake, of course, but enticing. The big question after the Second World War was: How can a nation that produced Beethoven and Kant and Thomas Mann and Schiller come up with a murderous clown like der Fuhrer? The question now is: How can a nation that produced such luminaries as James Baldwin, Abraham Lincoln and Bob Moses also spew out the riffraff of this Fuhrer lite? That responsibility, in large part, lies with Entertainment Television which traffics in falsity and fakery and serves as an engine driving the debasement of the human spirit

Paul, I see you are using your Trump’s Catalog of Lies and Misinformation, Volume 14, for your response.
Trump’s response to the pandemic threat was investigated by a House Select committee, in which Dr. Deborah Birx testified to Trump’s stubborn refusal to take the pandemic seriously. I’m sure you remember Dr. Birx…. She was the doctor who looked horrified when Trump suggested injecting bleach as a cure for Covid. The committee found that the Trump administration repeatedly ignored the pandemic/testing advice from TOP INFECTIOUS DISEASE EXPERTS. Dr. Birx testified that she could conveniently “go out of town” during Trump’s advisor meetings to give them cover. Furthermore, Dr. Birx stated that Trump’s committee was a “fringe group without grounding in epidemics, public health, or on the ground common sense experience.” Just who you would want to head a national health crisis response, right?
The Trump administration repeatedly blocked the CDC’s requests for public briefings for three months. They also refused a CDC request in April 2020 to hold a briefing to advise face coverings. And let’s not forget that Trump was shipping off Covid testing kits to his Russian idol while Americans couldn’t obtain the kits.
Facts are important.

The dipshit in this column who stated Trump botched the response to Covid is so blatantly wrong. Trump forced the drug companies to come up with a virus and held them harmless from law suits if there were side effects from it. This saved lives and millions from infection or worse. Trumps worse feature from a European standpoint is he wants Europe to pay their own way to defend itself. It’s not a USA problem even though we spend billions to help, with absolutely no gratitude.

First, he is utterly unprincipled. He has no convictions about abortion, gay marriage, trade unions or climate change. He is, however, reflexively racist. Altogether, he simply wants to gain his father’s approbation by winning, by being amongst the ranks of the winners. And whilst his amorality grants him copious wiggle room in terms of political stances, in his heart of hearts he desperately wanted to impress the cultural, financial, and political establishments of the East Coast. He needed the adulation of these elites. But the elites belittled him; poked fun at him; called him a clown and a fool. They said his material bounty which he hoped would impress them, was suspicious and fake. They - the elites - said he was a man without substance or depth, a fake man. Well this rejection by the winners was deeply wounding, sending him spiraling out of control and into the arms of the already anti-elitists, whose hero he was to become. He certainly did not wish to be associated with back-country losers like Marjorie Taylor and Nebraska Soy Bean farmers. He wanted to be beloved of the Manhattan Museum Crowd. But fate, as the saying goes, can be cruel.

JB, you are seeing the world through the gaseous cloud of the Orange Man’s lies. That’s what HE tells you, so it must be true, right? You must be rich, because the rest of us didn’t have extra money in our pockets. We didn’t get any special privileges when we couldn’t buy basic needs at the grocery store because Trump botched Covid so badly and millions died.
Or maybe you love the idea of women being “put in their place,” with no rights, no respect, and the vulnerability of being grabbed whenever/wherever by some entitled P.O.S. like Trump or Vance because they have reduced the status of women to Stepford Wives/brood cows.
Higher health insurance? You are kidding, right? We have Obamacare now, which is a Godsend to millions of people who need affordable care. Trump has the “concept of a plan,” for the last seven years, but his petty goal for now is to destroy the Affordable Care Act because Obama’s name is on it. Trump and his mini-trumps will create a health care plan that puts more money in THEIR pockets, not yours or mine.
As far as “peace in the world” under Trump, do you consider Russian aggression under Putin to be peaceful? Do you think that with Trump’s lips so firmly planted on Putin’s backside that Russia will stop with Poland?
Trump won because there was so much false information being spread by Trump and his band of liars and cheats, from FOX News to the lowest Republican elected official. And that false information will continue as Trump becomes the dictator that he has always dreamed of being.

It was Mr Mick Mulvaney, the White House Chief of Staff, who announced the new ground rules, established the inflection point. Without a doubt, he said, Der American Fuhrer is a terrible human being. But that’s OK. Vote for him anyway. And that page turner swept away centuries of customs and conventions by which National Leaders were expected to exhibit integrity, decency and gravity. From now on, you don’t have to feel bad about voting for a common thug who is also a racist, a misogynist and a cheat. If he can get you what you, go for it. That is why hordes of Jesus lovers unapologetically endorse Der Fuhrer: he will give them tax write-offs and allow them to demonize gay people. It is a new day.

As an American I will work hard to overcome his anarchist ways and fight for the David's of the world and for Democracy. The under-educated masses that voted for him are unable to see the forest for the trees. Trump and his dark supporters have lied to the people about his true motives. I will fight to make sure he is unable to derail our institutions or back away from our allies. Trump can't grasp any initiative that doesn’t immediately benefit himself. If Trump wants a revolution…he may well get it. But I guarantee it won’t go the way he hopes.

Reverend King often quoted from Thomas Carlyle: “No lie can live forever.”
Felix Justice139 days ago
The Reverend Martin Luther King, the greatest prophet of the modern age, taught that character is supreme. Adhering to this teaching, I could never - ever - support a would-be leader whose moral character is fatally flawed. Though his political positions aligned completely with my own, I could not give him my vote. There is not a scintilla of evidence to support the claim of Barack Obama’s foreign birth, or that America is being overrun by violent illegals. None. These assertions were deliberately contrived to foster a climate of fear and resentment against the “other” in order to advance the fortunes of a silly, depraved, ignorant creature from the world of Reality Television host. But Reality Television bears no resemblance to reality. It is all make believe. But the ploy worked! Americans by the tens of millions bought into the notions of America Under Siege, of an economy tottering on collapse, of hordes of non-Norwegians from shithole lands attacking the borders, anxious to displace Real Americans. None of these things is remotely true, but majorities succumbed to these inventions, and on November 5th voted to save themselves from these phantom furies. Without a doubt, a bill will come due for this Faustian contract, and it will be unpleasant. Vice President Harris, that noble woman who dared to speak the truth will be vindicated, and the ship of state will be righted from this ugly wreck.

The worst you make him look the less trustworthy everybody thinks. He does have a little humility left. Give him a chance. I think he’s going to change things around this time. I was upset with your post. Although I called the United States my home I have plenty of family over there and our conversations about this subject sometimes gets ugly.

All comments ... as well as the excellent opinion piece (save one) are justifiable and the truth.
But I believe this man's Most Dangerous flaw, the one that affects all ...
is that He Is A Traitor!
- Inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021 that killed people and involved hunting down a Vice President as if he was an animal and after being alerted that Mr. Pence was in danger, and his President's response was "SO WHAT!". Despicable.
What should a person think when in plain sight, the world witnessed Mr. Trump stealing boxes and boxes of America's Highly Classified Documents, hiding them in his bathroom.
This wasn't light reading it included game plans for military actions with Iran, and even names and identities of US personally that would be like candy should he bargain, or barter this confidential information to our enemies.
Mr. Putin comes to mind .
in fact, whose to say he hasn't already shared this vital information.
The fact that he has now been exposed connecting with Mr. Putin Seven Times since losing the election in 2020 (which is illegal) is not only despicable but Dangerous not only to America's security but the world.
Witty jokes aside, though welcomed ...
The Serious and Most Alarming Fact is This Man Is A TRAITOR.
Those that prefer to deny this, ignore it, claim it's not true ... are part of the problem here.
Apologies, but truth here ...

Walistair… This isn’t meant to be a serious “article.” It’s a humorous opinion piece written four years ago, based on the writer’s view of Trump as a president, but I can’t see anything he said that isn’t true about Trump. He has no honor, no compassion for others, no respect for the Constitution, no control over the lying garbage that he spews every time he opens his mouth. He lies constantly! His “sense of humor” consists of insulting others, babbling insanely about Hannible Lector, deliberately garbling names like an 8-year-old boy. “Kamabla”? “George Sloppadopolis”? “Gavin Newscum?” This man wants to be a world leader? This is someone you respect? And you ask where this “hatred for Trump” come from?

"No compassion" "No coolness" "No wit" "Never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once" "almost inhuman" "Picasso of pettiness" "Makes Nixon look trustworthy" "Makes George W look smart" "Trump is a Troll"
This entire article is the epitome of TDS: Trump Derangement Syndrome. When you get all of your information about Trump from BBC News, I suspect this is the picture you'll have of him. This article is basically a long and insulting YouTube comment from a wine aunt that is chronically on Twitter. It's just non stop hate from top to bottom. The author must really think they did something really intelligent and thoughtful here.
It reminds me of the things people said in 2015 when Trump was running for President the first time. We were told repeatedly by experts and celebrities and politicians and news anchors, whole hosts of professional opinionators, that Trump would re-enslave the black people, that he would start a nuclear war, that he was "literally Hitler", that he would destroy America and destroy the world. Many celebrities assured us they would leave America if Trump won (they didn't). Even today, you have a comically deranged Robert DeNiro screaming into a microphone "First Trump will destroy America, then he will destroy the world!" - an exact quote! Do you think that? It's crazy to me that people genuinely believed that first time, and genuinely still believe it again! Those same professionals assured us all of the certainty that there would be multiple Hitler-esque Holocausts in America within the first year of this Presidency. Where does this hatred for Trump come from?
It became immediately obvious when I read the racist insult "fat white slug" - yep, they managed to also make it about the leftist racial hierarchy. I felt I knew it was coming up, racist leftists seem to make every attempt to make absolutely every iota of political opinion and even culture all about their racial beliefs. Sorry I'm just not really buying into your ethnicity ideologies! People are people to me! I don't buy into your racial hatreds!! Stop hating people for their colour please!
The author seems to not only have a deep disdain, or even a hint of hatred, for 50% of the US population that vote for him, but seems to think Trump lacks all of those aforementioned qualities - how do you become the US President if you have no wisdom? How do you achieve what he did even before the Presidency if you have no credibility? How do you have every New York rapper rapping about you if you have no coolness? How do you have a theatre filled with hateful Democrats laugh heartily (as did Hilary!) if you have no wit or humour? How do you command the respect of so many servicemen and servicewomen if you have no honour? How did he successfully flip decades-old Democrat allegiances with Unions and Firefighters if he he's "just a troll" and nothing else? What profoundly insulting and denigrating things are you saying about those Americans?
Is the author implying they're thick, deluded, insane, racist, pure evil, a mixture of all of it? There's tens of millions of good and informed Americans that might not even necessarily disagree with some of the puerile insults in this "article" but much prefer Trump's America over Biden or Bush's or potentially Harris's America. Some people will take mean tweets over unaffordable groceries. Forgive them this crime Nate! Maybe they're just not buying the BS second time round!!
Frankly, I can see why there are some chronically online leftists who have attempted to murder Ivanka's husband, Barrons dad, Donald. A father and a husband, nearly murdered, because hate rhetoric like this justifies action like this every day. I can see why those female hosts of The View laughed at Ivanka for her short publication following the near murder of her husband - they must have so much hate for Trump that they want him to be killed. And i feel the author is probably very sympathetic to those incel would-be assassins. How crazy that within my lifetime, the left lost its compassion and humility and love, and is left only with hate.

“When you get all your information on Trump from BBC News” I for one get my information on Trump from a wide variety of news outlets. The source is pretty much irrelevant though, we can all see exactly what he says, how he says it, and he’s so thin skinned it’s pretty obvious why he says it. The oft mentioned TDS is very much seen in the MAGA community who seem to give everything a pass.

Mr. White does an admirable job of describing the unfathomable depths of Trump’s depravity in poetic detail. However, the author omits a proper summation of the modern age’s most despicable character. In my view, Trump is the emissary of Satan on earth!
Proof: there can be no doubt that Trump’s plan to launch a worldwide tariff war on all imported goods with up to 60% tariffs on Chinese imports alone, coupled with deporting 11 + million immigrants (8%+ of US work force, would trigger late 1930’s style German hyperinflation along with severe labor and food shortages, stock market crash and economic collapse.
Further, abandoning Ukraine and NATO will embolden Putin to commit further aggression. Poland, France and UK and all of NATO still bear the scars of WWII and will NEVER cede Ukraine to Putin. Therefore, Trump’s surrender to Putin will no doubt trigger WWIII.
Another Trump Presidency (God forbid) guarantees economic depression and world war. Consequently, Trump leaves no doubt amongst sentient beings via his own words and deeds that he is a creature from the underworld of darkness and despair whose goal is nothing more or less than worldwide Armageddon !
That should have been the author’s summation.

I can’t believe any self-respecting woman - or any decent man, for that matter, would vote for Trump. His new absurd, absolutely tone-deaf claim that he will be the “protector of women” is by far the most telling sign of Trump’s mental breakdown. The man who brags about killing Roe v Wade is a protector of women? The adjudicated rapist is a protector of women? The man who has bragged about being able to “grab them by the p***y” is a protector of women? The man who claims that he didn’t assault women because they weren’t “attractive” by his shallow standards? A man who cheated on all three of his wives? A man who buried his first wife in a convenient spot on his golf course for a tax write-off?
He is absolutely shameless, and he is getting worse every day. Of course, Trump will say it is all “fake news,” as he does about every bit of news he doesn’t like. He thinks all women are really that stupid.

As a naturalized American, I can tell you that most of us see him for what he is, a conman being used by the local Christo-fascist minority and oligarchs. The culmination of 40 yrs of conservative political strategy to leverage our democratic system’s protection of minorities, the Electoral College, to have their religion take over our secular state. The good news is this is the best they got.
Pardon the mess. We are working to get rid of him; he will not win.

This is sowell-written and so true. As a survivor of WW II, and my father being lilled bytge Nazi's, I abhor the fact that he is following Hiter's paybook. He makes the Hispanic population his target and his Republican supporters mostly own the ewsapers or radio or tv stations. In otherwords, our media is compromised. Propaganda reigns, although that word is not used. My dad read and spoke English and tried to spread the word of the man thatcwas a threat to Germany.
He was betrayed and he and two colleagues and a typesetter disappeared on Jan
23rd , 1943 never to be seen again. So, I know what the plan is for the next four years , if he gets in. Too many Americans do not see tgethreat he poses to the democratic Republic of America.

As an embarrassed American, I'd like to apologize to the world for our feeble-minded Trump cultists. They scare us all unnecessarily and cause us undo stress, worrying about the future of our country and our planet. The cultists are a sad, sheep-like herd of followers who only hear lies on fake Fox news 24/7. The lies are an echo chamber purposely built by lecherous ultra rich men who want to preserve their white male privileged world. The false stories bounce in the echo chamber between the MAGA politicians and fake Fox commentators. MAGA followers drink up the false and misleading information and assimilate the stories into their lives. They imagine the world of border "caravans", of "immigrant crime", of Trump being a smart, charismatic leader. If we close down Fox news, we might be able to save these poor, MAGotes from further embarrassment, but they need some collapse of the politicians as well. The Democratic voters will try to assist the MAGA demise. Let's hope we can do it before the cult herd grows too large.

Back in the 1950s when racism was overt and enshrined in law, white supremacy forbade white people from honoring black people with honorific titles like Miss or Mister; it was always Sam or Lucy. To heighten the contempt being expressed, the white speaker would deliberately mispronounce the name. We thought those days were gone. But think again. The racist Republican Party has decided to follow their racist leader’s example of mangling the Vice President’s name. This as a means of showing contempt. They even agree on what the mispronunciation is. We’re clearly moving backwards in this country.
Felix Justice190 days ago
Without doubt, Mr. Trump could register his large-heartedness by admitting that though he has repeatedly and relentlessly referred to black public figures as lazy, dumb, and savage, and though he thinks Muslims are straining to destroy us, and that Mexicans and Argentinians are infusing purple blood into our Pure Whiteness, that despite this history of racist enmity, he declares himself the least racist person in the room (look what I’ve done for the nigs), I bet you anything that when Mr Trump has to report to the penitentiary for his period of incarceration for the crimes he has been convicted of will insist - I say INSIST - that he sit in jail alongside a BLM prisoner in order to establish once and for all that Donald J is not the fire breathing hater the mainstream press makes him out to be.

Non-leaders like DT are not created in a vacuum. A people get a government they deserve - and out of the systematic dumbing down of America, lowering bars, and tolerating racism - are born national embarrassments like DT. He’s a narcissistic bully and a demagogue who has mastered the art of talking hate to his MAGA. supporters by constantly telling them that every non-white is their enemy and bad for their country. Like himself, he keeps his voters steeped in alternate reality so they never question his narrative about the “others.” He has no notion of how to be a leader. He brings out the worst in people around him, especially his base. He killed a bipartisan border security bill just so he could make it the proverbial stick with which he could beat the Democrats on the head. I cannot imagine why he was ever deemed a patriot. He’s got no record of public service. He filled the White House with his cronies and family members during his tenure. His staff never lasted beyond a few weeks and many of them are now helping Harris. He’s the laughing stock among world leaders and won’t admit it. He thought he could grab the presidency from an aging Biden with ease. And now the tables are turned on him. He’s furious at being humiliated by a woman of color twenty years his junior. He rambles nonsensically most of the time. He was never cut out to be a dignified statesman who would do his country any credit. Instead, he’s running as a convicted felon. His bag of tricks to fool people is running out. He’s now resorting to laughable conspiracy theories and other “gimmicks” to garner sympathy votes and portray himself a Martyr. This article hits every nail on the head. Jan 6 was the icing on the cake of his disgrace. I cannot imagine how half this country has supported this atrocity from him. What he did was unpardonable. I hope the other half of this country holds him accountable for this treason this year. He has no place in the Oval Office and neither does his appalling running mate. They would destroy this country with their anti-science, anti-women, and anti-immigrant policies. I hope someone stops them.

At the debate, Donald Trump continued to claim “In Springfield, they’re [immigrants] eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the pets of people that live there”. His vicious lies resulted in death threats and violence from his thug supporters on innocent people in Springfield.
That outrageous claim had already been debunked, not only by the authorities in Springfield, but by the originator of the post that started the whole farce, yet Trump demonstrated how incapable he is of telling the truth, and repeated it to the 60 million who watched the debate. Guess who ate it up? His MAGA supporters! As a direct result of Trump’s unhinged comments, innocent people in Springfield have been threatened, property has been destroyed, and Trump continues to go unpunished. He needs to be locked up.
What kind of person could possibly see Trump as presidential material? His deliberate mispronunciation of names is reminiscent of the eight-year-old children I had in my classroom. He is still doing it! Is that a leader of a respected nation? What about that insane right-wing groupie that is currently hanging on his arm instead of his wife? Laura Loomer, the far right hate-speech activist who is as insane as Trump is.

The thing about Trump is that he represents the darkest side of the American character. Aggressive, ravenous and cruel. It's what allowed us to treat native peoples the way we did, tolerate and justify slavery and then peonage and terror towards Black Americans, internment camps for Japanese...the list goes on. I love my country and am proud to be an American. But we have always worshipped property, not freedom, and Trump is the clarified, concentrated version of greed. He's also what emerges from a spoiled nation. I'm hoping that as a people we can awake and learn from this nightmare before it's too late.

This analysis of the narcissistic sociopath is spot on. His followers are a cult that need to be told what to do, and whole heartedly believe in his racism and fascism. The wealthy that support him do so not out of respect, but for how they can profit off of him and his policies. I don't know if Britain suffers from celebrities that think they should run for office because they're stars. But we have way too many here that think that by their sheer stardom, they are qualified to hold office. As has been pointed out, this so called "celebrity" is a con-man that has gone bankrupt 6 times - some businessman! While someone else has thrown in the "look in your own backyard" comment, I'm fairly certain that the Brits are aware of their own shortcomings.

They want a ruthless dictator - it won't be the first time that's been true - anf they know that he's a bit thick but that the real power will lie with the pseudo libertarian thugs - like Musk, Miller, Stone and Bannon (who he'll pardon)- who will do his dirty work.

It appalls me to say that being a German American, but it's true. If i could leave this country, i would. Im ashamed of what it's become. Britain would be my logical destination.

Remember, he thinks every black woman he has crossed swords with is stupid and lazy He thinks Barack Obama never belonged at Harvard because he is basically restarted. He thinks Kamala Harris is mentally challenged. He believes, in his heart and soul, that black people are lessers, that they are consigned by nature to be a step and a half behind white excellence, and that explains his appeal and his firm hold on white racism which continues, at this late date, to define American culture. It is an unambiguously racist society. Political culture.

It’s simple.

Elaborating on my last, and then I will shut up. First of all, repeating that I agree entirely with Mr. White’s portrait of Donald Trump. Second of all, there is nothing in what I said which was intended to convey the puerile idea that you've got your own issues, why don't you worry about them and let us worry about ourselves? What happens here in the United States has an outsized impact on the rest of the world and Trump's election will have enormous consequences for people who will have had no opportunity to vote either for him or against him. What I objected to, and still do, is Mr. White’s tone. He presumes to speak, not just for himself, or for like-minded Brits, but for all of Britain. For every subject of the King who, purely as a result of being born British, must necessarily share his view. This is the way he frames his argument. For example, "gentlemen" in Mr. White's view do not punch down, but I suspect there are plenty of people in Britain who punch down regularly and with force, just as there are here. And before I actually do shut up, I would direct Mr. White's attention to a Statista Poll which showed that in the fourth quarter of 2023, 26% of the people polled in Great Britain, his Great Britain, “liked” Donald Trump.

While I agree entirely with this portrait of Donald Trump, I find the tone of upper class British condescension seriously off-putting. "He is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully." Seriously? An attitude absent from Britain's public schools? And from what the Brits refer to as their "Working Class?" Anyone interested in toxic British bullying should pick up a copy of Bill Buford's extraordinary book on football hooligans, "Among the Thugs."

As the saying goes you can judge a person by the friends he keeps. Politically his goal has always been to be an autocrat like his friend Putin, he tried to dissolve NATO and it was hoped Zelenskyy was just a comic with a weak democratic view easily brought into alignment with Russia. Putin thought Trump would have had a second term in 2020 where Ukraine could be taken over without resistance and use of military. The election of Biden and will of Ukraine and its leader changed that so Putin’s plan B was to take over by force.

We, who are not a part of his maga cult, understand what is at stake if a sadist such as he gains the White House again. His wicked manipulations and that of his minions within our government seek to dismantle all that is good about the United States of America. We will not revert to their criminality in order to win the election, but we will rally all Americans with a moral code and compassion for all mankind to vote for the HARRIS/WALZ ticket! This isn't about party, but it is about saving this country and our DEMOCRACY from a narcissistic megalomaniac! May God be with us in this effort!

Yes vote for Harris/Walz to keep the high gas, food, taxes, and riots in America!! Let have more homeless and drugs!! Don’t forget the open borders, you don’t bitch unless they are dropped off in your city!! Pakistani are all ready starting war on America!!
President Trump was the only president that did his job free for the American people!! Even Democrats are jumping ship because of Harris/Walz!! Democrats are getting tried of the witch hunt against President Trump!! Democrats has wasted over 8 years taxpayers money on the witch hunt!!
Elaine198 days ago
What Alternate Reality are you living in, Bob? Have you forgotten that the Orange Blob killed the border bill a few months ago because he wanted it for his own platform? And Trump didn’t do his job for free. He grifted millions of dollars while in office! He’s still grifting! Do you have your gold spray-painted shoes yet? Your “cards” of Trump as some kind of young superhero that are as fake as he is, and you don’t actually get to physically own them?? What a bargain!!
Democrats are NOT jumping the Harris/Walz ship. Maybe you are confused with the Trump/Vance sinking ship. Have you seen the list of prominent Republicans who are voting Democrat this year?

John Columbus205 days ago
aolTHIS COULD NOT BE MORE TRUE!!!!! AND I HAVE SOMETHING TO PASS ALONG, IT'S KINDA LONG BUT I'M PASTING IT IN BELOW
Why Voting for Trump is Indefensible: Reason #4
Because his patriotism is as fake and transactional as an NFT monkey.
He hugs our flag while flattering our enemies. He puts on a nice show in public during the national anthem (and commits stochastic terrorism on anyone who doesn’t), while in private he calls our fallen soldiers “suckers” and “losers” (this fact has been confirmed multiple times, by multiple sources). He sells “Make America Great Again” merch made in China. He salutes North Korean generals, but verbally assaults our Gold Star families.
He undermined a free and fair election, enlisted fraudulent electors, and inspired an attack on our capitol. While losing every election case, and proving none of his claims in court, he called for “the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution” in his efforts to hold onto power.
A few days ago, he described the Medal of Freedom, a ceremonial/civilian honor, that he gave to his biggest donor, as “equivalent” and “much better than” the Medal of Honor, awarded for bravery in combat. “It's actually much better because everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they're soldiers. They're either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they are dead. She gets it and she's a healthy, beautiful woman.”
He received five draft deferments, four for education (common) and one for a make-believe injury, sending another American off to Vietnam in his stead. In a 1997 interview with Howard Stern, he compared vaginas to landmines and called himself “a great and very brave solider” for avoiding STDs. Then he had the gall to disparage actual vets and POWs like John McCain.
Avoiding military service runs in his family. His brothel-owning paternal grandfather fled Germany to avoid conscription, and later had his (German) citizenship revoked when he fled back to Germany to avoid serving in the U.S. The Trump family has been in this country for well over a century and NONE of them have served in wartime or peace. Donald Trump is, in fact, the only president in history who provided ZERO public or military service prior to sitting in Oval Office.
Most former presidents have participated in additional public service after their terms. As far as I can tell, Trump has done nothing of the sort. Instead, he just continued poisoning the well and prolonging the con.
He has always been disrespectful and dishonest, but now he is demented. He’s also a convicted felon. He and his family stole from a children's cancer charity, ran a fraudulent university, and cheated untold numbers of contractors out of their hard earned pay. He quite famously cheats at golf, cheats on his taxes, and cheats on his wives. I would be hard pressed to name someone with less honor.
This is what General John Kelly, his longest serving Chief of Staff, said last year about his former boss. “What can I add that has not already been said?... A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.”
This is the person you want to lead our country?

This response from Skip is mind numbing. You would rather have this guy running the country than any normal Democrat. I understand critiquing the Dems but you make the typical wrong accusations that Democrats ruin everything. If that’s so why is this country doing so well as far as employment, living wage, effective social safety net, good education system, long life span, all the things you enjoy that you take for granted, even under Democratic leadership. Blanket statements about how horrible the country is doing while observation shows the opposite. we’re doing well here. If you don’t agree, instead of making empty criticisms give us some concrete facts to back up your statement.
Elaine206 days ago
Unfortunately, Steve, “Skip” is a prime example of the worst of Trump’s followers. Childish name-calling, insane accusations, crude words, lack of any kind of critical thinking skills, and an insane belief that Trump is capable of doing anything positive to lead and unite our country. Trump lost his grip on reality long ago, and is obviously confident that he can win by cheating. He told his rapidly-dwindling followers that they didn’t need to vote in November because he already has the votes. Skip has no clue how horrifying that is for our country.

Yes Monica, we have had some fine Presidents. Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama and Joe Biden come immediately to mind. Bill Clinton balanced our budget for the first time in decades. Sadly, our schools failed to teach Government or Civics for a couple of generations, so there is a segment of uneducated citizens that do not understand how our government works. There are also a number of Americans who don't care - as long as they have their fair share of the take, then their neighbors be damned. The silver spoon crowd, or the "white privileged" tend to simply fail at a form of ethical work in difficult circumstances. If it is hard to do, then have someone else do the heavy lifting. But the worst and most sad of all is the crowd that has failed to find the punch line in life. After all, that is a big part of what this world, our lives and our passions are all about.

This is a fantastic, honest, and true perspective of that conivted felon, lard ass liar. Republicans had so many off ramps to rid of this guy, but that small base Trump has, (and getting smaller by the day) MAGA cult crapped on the Republican's. So they put party over country all for Trump and for his ignorant, racist, woman hating MAGA cult. It's like the blind Republicans are leading or being led by the blind MAGA Party. That R party is long gone now. Now relpaced by the small TRUMPIAN party. The only way they can even start to crawl back is by again LOSING not only the Presidency, but also lose the Senate and The House. Only then can they earn respect from the USA voters. Trump is only running to stay out of jail. PERIOD! He will lose, and that is not the only thing he deserves. He must pay for his many crimes. What is holding him up through this now is Project 2025. Also an excellent documentary that ties in all the players of Project 2025, and how it was really segregation that was shutdown by the SCOTUS is why they changed it to ANTI ABORTION, aka Pro life so they wouldn't look racist and abortion is just another way they could "Own the libs". This documentary also ties in Trump and the evil biased SCOTUS that we have today. Ties in the Republican party, so called Christians and Christian Nationalism. Find it free to watch on Tubi, or find it on Prime called "BAD FAITH". Everyone, no matter what party they are from, should watch this. ALSO turn on the subtitles to be sure you are hearing what they say. Seriously Trump visited with this VERY RACIST creep, David Duke a racist, associated with KKK , ALL in this documentary. BTW, my in-laws live in the UK, and shares how my husband and I can not stand Trump! *waves from Portland, Oregon *

Like Regan who had dementia before he was nominated and Bush Light, he has their support because they can make him electable not because he is erudite. Their nearly 50 year attacks on education have left a significant portion of Americans without critical thinking, understanding of civic, or our history: that why he has the support of 50% of the population.

I have never heard Trump so accurately described. He is a man with no redeeming qualities at all....none. The ones that follow and worship him are the product of decades of education defunding in America or frustrated racists that finally have permision to show the world the worst version of themselves. I cannot even imagine another 4 years of this monster and his constant chaos

Important never to forget that half the electorate in every idiocracy are of below average intelligence. If they did not vote electoral outcomes would be very different: there would be no President Trumps, no Brexits. The sad truth that universal suffrage does not work. It never has. Instead of being led by the best and brightest, 'democracy' propels fools into goverment, the mediocre. Easy to resolve: strict selection with IQ tests and vigorous . to weed out the nitwits, like Trump, to end the chaos.

He is a clown, the scary one in the gory horror movies. Frankenstein was a tragic figure, intelligent, sentient, well intentioned and misunderstood because of his appearance. The Modern Prometheus was how the Frankenstein author, Mary Shelley, subtitled her novel and the implications of such nomination are many. But the American Trump hasn’t a shred of this Greek antihero’s traits; rather, he is more in the mold of Moros or perhaps the orphan child of Koalemos and Apate. Suffice to say in his delusional mind he is THE all powerful overlord of the MAGA with godlike power to create his alternate reality built on alternative truths and then impose it on the universe. Ugh, Everyone please rid the land of this blight before we all perish - VOTE.

Another term of this philosophy could be the end of the USA Republic embodiment of DEMOCRACY! As a voter do you want to take that risk?

I want a president who selects a vice-president based on experience, intelligence, and compassion for others, not for his willingness to kiss his arse. I want a president who doesn’t blame EVERYONE else for his failures. I want a president who doesn’t act like a 10-year-old child.

We folks from the USA’s Pacific Northwest region, thank you for your terse, yet uncannily accurate description of DJT (or Orange Jesus as some call him.)
I for one choose to look at this from Trumps perspective or in other words, a “childish approach”. Therefore, let me start as Trump might, by stealing from 1980’s author Robert Fulghum:
“Everything I Ever Needed to Know About Trump I Learned in Kindergarten:”
Top Ten:
*Young vs. Old
*Past vs. Tomorrow
*Happy vs. Angry
*Honest vs. Dishonest
*Law Abiding vs. Convicted Felon, Financial Fraud/Cheater & Rapist
*Coherent vs. Confused
*Public Servant vs. Selfish, Narcissistic, Pariah
*Intelligent vs. Demented, Delusional, Moron
*Extremely Competent vs. Incompetent and TRULY Unfit for Office
And last but not least…
*GOOD vs. EVIL and we must include PETTY and CRUEL
This observation was inspired from a comment made on August 13th 2024 by Donny Deutsch on Nicole Wallace’s MSNBC show “Deadline Whitehouse”.

President Harris, do not enter into Trump’s sewer. He is masterful there - been there all of his life. Talk economics and climate change, equality for all. That will get you elected. But if you sink to his level of lying and name calling (4th grade level), then you are doomed. He owns the sewer. Let him have it. Be mature. Talk sense.

Z223 days ago
Doc- Here are a few policies Trump will implement if he becomes the next President. I haven't seen or heard any policies Harris will be doing. She is way over her head.
Six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:
FIRST, propose a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress.
SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce the federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health).
THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated.
FOURTH, a five-year ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service.
FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.
SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
Seven actions to protect American workers:
FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205.
SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
THIRD, I will direct the Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator.
FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately.
FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars’ worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward.
SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America’s water and environmental infrastructure.
Five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:
FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama.
SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution.
THIRD, cancel all federal funding to sanctuary cities.
FOURTH, begin removing the more than two million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back.
FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered “extreme vetting.”[1]
”
—President Donald Trump[2]
In the contract, Trump also said that he would "work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration":
“
Middle Class Tax Relief and Simplification Act
An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with two children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from seven to three, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35% to 15%, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10% rate.
End the Offshoring Act
Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
American Energy and Infrastructure Act
Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over ten years. It is revenue neutral.
School Choice and Education Opportunity Act
Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends Common Core and brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and makes two- and four year college more affordable.
Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act
Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act
Allows Americans to deduct childcare and eldercare from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-site childcare services and creates tax-free dependent care savings accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
End Illegal Immigration Act
Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country of Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a two-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a five-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
Restoring Community Safety Act
Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a task force on violent crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.
Restoring National Security Act
Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values.
Clean Up Corruption in Washington Act
Enacts new ethics reforms to drain the swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.[1]

Has everyone lost sight of the fact that TOG (the orange guy) is a convicted felony on 34 counts and he is accused of over 90 more. With that record he would not be allowed to join our armed forces, any branch, and yet he is running to be the commander in chief of the military. I am thinking of becoming a psychiatrist with almost half the US voting population having lost their minds it could be a very lucrative profession.

Hey Z, what Trump policies are you referring to: tax cuts for the very wealthy? Using bleach to fight COVID? Separating parents from their children? Stacking the Supreme Court to overturn Roe? Hummmm, having trouble thinking of one. Here’s one, Trump can lie better than anyone . I hope you can afford some gas soon. Maybe drive to a place where there is clean air and clean water, oh wait I think Trump is a denier. Good luck with that.

Skeptic - cost of living is controlled by energy. Higher energy the higher the cost of living and products. Lower energy cost means lower cost to you and lower or no inflation. when Biden came to power (wasn't't really running anything because of his mental health) he cut drilling which brought energy cost up. It's simple economics. True- price of gas varies from state to state - but overall cost is up. Biden has been out of commission for years but know one wants to admit it. Now we have a new candidate that has done nothing for this country and is flip flopping her policies. Again - I don't like Trump's personality, but his polices were good for this country. I think people hate Trump so much that they just vote for anyone else without looking at their policies. Kamala has been avoiding questions and interviews about what she believes in and what policies she wants to implement. She has been far left and very radical in the past and now she is trying to back step.

It's actually LESS than a third of Americans, I Never see Trump Supporters! I live in Las Vegas and I swear to God I never see them or they hide! I know they exist because some of the people that I knew were gaga over him but my Facebook feed cleared out by 2018 of any Trump Supporters and I am blessed to have my close family see things NOT like Trump! Also a lot of people who support Trump hate him too! They support him because he is financially good for them, either they make their money by advocating for him or they really want the tax cuts that he gave away and promises them. one in every 15 Americans are Millionaires, so a lot of people feel like they are part of the 1% and the exclusivity of Trump is like other lures for the pseudo-wealthy, they think it's part of the territory of being rich, to be crass and to look down on the poor and the ones who are the most vulnerable! This country has a dual personality, one side is the good American side, the glass is half full and "the send us your weary" side, but the other side thinks our shit don't stink, that side says we need immigration to do the jobs that are beneath us but that's all! That side says money talks and it admires corruption for corruption's sake!

Trump is an embarrassment. I was truly embarrassed for this country when he was elected and am still embarrassed as an American that he is even running again knowing how horrible of a human being he is. Trump is the definition of Bully, definition of The Ugly American. We are better than this. We deserve better than him, a decaying man-child who's been getting away with crimes all of his life and seems to find every way possible to squeeze through the loopholes like a cockroach that's too fast to step on. I am sick and tired of listening to his hatred spewing from his face day in and day out. I long for the days when we no longer have to hear him or see him and this country can begin to heal its giant gaping wound it of separation caused by this ONE man.

BRAVO-WELL SAID. I completely agree. The RePutinan Party (cult) is full of angry, blasphemous, bullying, childish, desperate, dysfunctional, manipulating, money-hungry, power-obsessed, vicious, vile, whiny liars and traitors; led by the droopy poopy diaper wearing orange LYING whiner-in-chief himself. They constantly spit out fear, hate, misogyny, negativity, racism, vengeance, venom, and violence. They live in a world of the utmost hypocrisy. They sell their souls to the highest bidder (foreign & domestic) every damn day. They offer NO solutions to the country's issues whatsoever, only FAKE promises to a select few. Their leader is stuck in a loop of the past. They seem to forget that we came through a 100 year once-in-a-lifetime pandemic and it takes time to come back from something as devastating as that. But God bless President Biden & VP Harris because they've done a hell of a job working toward getting us back on track from that! Is there still work to be done? Of course. We the People understand that policies can be improved upon. The economy can be improved upon. The border and immigration can be improved upon. Healthcare can be improved upon. Wages can be improved upon, and so on. BUT, how are we supposed to improve upon a man baby who is sliding more and more into some kind of serious mental decline, with a group of followers who want to strip people of their basic human rights and then tear the country we love completely apart in order to achieve a bat-shit crazy goal of creating some kind of Stepford-like, fascist, dystopian and dangerous nightmare of a country in its place? WE VOTE THEM OUT! That's how. People are sick and tired of their weird embarrassing drama, their nasty divisiveness, their kissing the asses of the uber wealthy and ignoring the needs of the everyday average person just trying to have a decent life. He might as well get ready for it because he is going to LOSE in November (AGAIN)! And as far as their constant doom and gloom whiny attitudes go, well... they can piss off because WE ARE NOT GOING BACK!!!

Donald is all that and more. He was able to identify every open hole in our democracy that a criminal could squeeze his way into (a la the white slug). We are now aware of where the next criminal politician will try to infiltrate our government to steal power and money. Also we are now more aware of outside non-democratic governments’ ways to bribe our politicians and citizens, and thus create traitors to Constitution. I believe Harris/Walz will try to overturn Citizens United to remove money from our politics.

I'm not talking about your personal feelings, rather your cost living.

Anyone who thinks after the disastrous Trump term (during a pandemic) that caused death, and economic disasters that America would have a quick and easy recovery is either crazy or just not thinking. There was no plan, things delayed and nothing accomplished. If you needed a new car there were NONE unless you could afford the most expensive left on a lot, the stores had empty shelves and some rationing. A change was needed! We were in a deep hole — talk to a farmer, rancher, mom & pop business owner, restaurant owner, people in technology ETC. and let them tell you how long it will take to recover from production being shut down or…sitting on ships, rail cars and others. Recovery could not happen over night no matter who the President was but it would take working together to dig out of that hole but sadly there was those who didn’t want to work together because their party wasn’t in “control” therefore businesses closed and others still struggle.
Thankfully the economy has shown strong improvement and people are getting back to work and living again, more oil production than ever and the executives and shareholders are still in their “happy place”. some of us with health issues see health/medication care improvement. So I would think many are doing better!
Americans have lived by rule of law and a Constitution for over 200 years which has welcomed immigrants looking forward to the American dream and has been respected by most countries. So, I think we do better when adults refrain from acting like spoiled bullies with selfish intent and do what is best for America not taking away our way of live as we know it. Who among us think someone is “crazy” because of the way or how much you laugh! REALLY? I wish someone could explain what has happened to the Grand OLD Party?

CAKMN225 days ago
There is, however, something to Trump's credit that should be recognized: he truly is the best at something. He is the best at being the worst.
He is the best at being the worst on so many scales, more scales than anyone else.
And in sharing his bigly quality of being best at being the worst, he is a great exemplar for the third or so of our population here in the USA who also seem to aspire at being the worst they can be. Trump inspires them and he gives them permission and encouragement to be their own disgusting selves. They don't love Trump – nobody does, not even Trump himself. They do love, with greed, any and all validation they can perceive for their rudest, crudest, nastiest inclinations and proclivities and for the full expression thereof. In other words they are using him, just as he has been using them. They have a deadly symbiotic relationship that is totally opportunistic and transactional.
Hidden within Trump and his diehard follower-supporters, even while being dramatically and disgustingly exposed outwardly, is the fact they are all suffering from a severe or total lack of heart-quality development. They are entirely inspired, motivated and guided by the mind-games they play. And they all want to play for keeps and play rough to win at any cost, even the cost of their souls.
A mind can choose to believe and act on anything it might become attached to. And a mind can justify for itself anything it might have become attached to. Therefore, Trump and his supporters are unable to see anything wrong or inappropriate with anything they have come to believe or anything they have done or might do. And this is why they can be so dangerous and destructive. They constantly chant FREEDOM and RIGHTS. For them, this means their freedom and rights to do as they please without any regard for any consequences of their actions. Their only goal is to get ahead, personally. It matters not who gets left behind or how or even if they survive.
Our great Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz, has called them, the MAGAs, weird. This is because everything the MAGAs do feels weird to anyone with any significant development of heart-quality. "Weird" non-specifically covers all of the manifestations of anyone who lacks heart-quality. This includes the inability to laugh a true, deep, heart-felt laugh at one's own self and to laugh *with* others rather than *at* them.
We the People, here in the great USA, along with People anywhere and everywhere in the World, desperately need more heart-quality in our lives, especially in our elected leaders. It is at heart-level where we are all interconnected and interdependent, where we are truly all one, all in this Life together. Mind-games are what divide and separate us. Only the Love experienced through heart-quality truly brings us together and unites us in a harmoniously cooperative wholeness that is sustainable so we can not only survive but also thrive ... together.

As an American, I will add: This is what happens when governments/leaders try to damage the education system. Republicans want our education to be poor, so that citizens grow up to be stupid. They have been working on damaging America's educational system for decades. One chip at a time... You see the evidence of this most in our southern states, because they constantly elect Republicans. The poorly educated will be easier to control and are more likely to believe politicians' lies. What you are seeing is a severe decrease in the critical thinking skills in a third of the American people. The rest of us are lucky enough to have critical thinking skills. Plus, I do have to say that a 2nd thing I am noticing in Trump supporters is that they seem to be the narcissists among our population. This type of personality disorder is attracted to Trump and these MAGA ideas.

To Z: first of all you've been brainwashed by this idiot! Immigrants are an essential part of this country. And Donald Trump probably has a bunch of them working at Mar-A-Lago for a pittance for their salary. We are energy independent. We are drilling more oil in this country now than we ever have. And we believe in free enterprise. I don't know where you're getting your information but try checking on some facts, which is really something that Trump supporters never do. Nor does Trump himself. All he knows how to do is bully, call people names and never has one sentence in a rally that tells what he's going to do to support americans! He's all in it for himself and every one of you God damn idiot supporters know that but just can't accept it. He even made a statement in one of his rallies that he doesn't need you. Wake up sweetheart! This f****** country is going downhill in 4 years if he gets back in the white house, but I don't think that's going to happen.

This country have been going down hill for the last 4 years, but people ignore the truth. I don't particularly like Trump as a person, but I do like his policies.

All the hate and other crazy things that have been going on in this country, is destroying it. People need to vote for the policies that a candidate have, not their personality. It is so ironic that England is slamming Trump, when their own country is in turmoil. They are s socialist country and they want the US to be the same and so does Kamala Harris!

Many of the people who are for Trump don’t do their “homework”. Homework means to look up their candidate on a non partisan website to see what their chosen candidate stands for. Instead, they listen to all the rhetoric their candidate says and actually believes that candidate.
A lot of Americans are very gullible, easy to fool. Americans are very spoiled too. They are constantly looking for “something for nothing”! A lot of Americans are very lazy too. Many of them have “the drive thru lane” mentality of life. These same Americans do not appreciate what their forefathers and foremothers went thru to have what they currently have. And yet, they are willing to accept the fake, empty words of a “carnival barker” at face value !! I call that LAZY & STUPID on their part. People like trump want to turn America into another Russia, it North Korea, China, and throw away all that the forefathers created for us !

THEY DO NOT CARE THAT HE IS A MORON. THEY DO NOT CARE WHAT HE SAYS OR DOES IN FRONT OF A MICROPHONE. He is the only voice they have. They care about God, and white people. But Trump only cares about himself. He does not care about one single person in this or any other country. His followers know this and DO NOT CARE at all........God, abortion, white people.

“Talented and well-practiced in every vice, a stranger to compassion or empathy, a liar and a cheat so complete in perfidy that he has elevated his dishonesty to hold it up as an ersatz moral principle. Violent, so long as he can order someone else to do the dirty work. Grotesque in body, graceless in action, in possession of a wounded self-regard so colossal as to smother any spark of grace. Treasonous, not only to country, but to every ally he has ever had, the poisoned fruit and rankest flower of racism and contempt for women, and utterly devoid of shame for his moral and spiritual bankruptcy. That is your leader. That is to whom you give your money. That is who you follow and laud. That is whose banner you willingly carry. Why? Because he is a mirror, not a lighthouse. You see yourselves in him. He is what you would be, if you had inherited money and could shed the last vestiges of conscience and shame. No, I do not “respect your choices,” nor do I admire your loyalty and dedication to this miserific, demoniac vision. You have demonstrated not only a lack of civic virtue, loyalty to the Republic and to the rule of law, but a willingness to engage in violence and sedition at his slightest expressed wish. And you will never, ever admit you were wrong. Because you see your dark, twisted, resentful dreams in him. And to renounce him is to renounce yourselves.”

I’ve been in complete cognitive dissonance, disbelief, horror and grief since Trump crawled out from under his gold plated rock and people …some are even educated… actually believed he would represent their best interests. He only represents his own interests. November 6 is coming. Here’s hoping people find their moral compass and vote Harris/Walz.

Watch Comedy Central's Jordan Kepper or one of Stephen Colbert's guys when they go to Trump rallies. A lot of people believe some very weird shit. Some believe that Obama is still serving as President. Others said Trump was a religious savior. Then there were the people who said Trump was still in charge of the military, but it was a different military. Say what? Then there was the pro-Russia fervor because Putin seems like a "very nice guy." Then there is the Fox News chatter. Trump never got us into a war. Yeah, but he didn't get us out of Afghanistan like he promised. Or the price of eggs was cheaper. Like he had control over dairy farmers or the swine flu. The problem is, there is a lack of deep thinker or deep diving into issues. If you see yourself as a Republican, you are going to spin a story in your head that fits the narrative and ignore all signs to the contrary. Sadly most Americans do not know history. I'm out talking to people all the time, and there is little understanding of state government versus their Federal government representatives. It's all pretty shocking.

As an American, I am embarrassed that a convicted felon could ever get near being nominated in a presidential election. I believe we are the laughing stock of the world because of Donald Trump. He is evil, a liar and a mean nasty human being. Regardless of what news station you watch, how can any intelligent person even think to support this man. As another comment that was made, I can not fathom how we Americans can stomach this man. When he won the first time I felt it was because this country needed a change. I did not vote for him but I did understand how he won. He said everything everyone wanted to hear. He did none of it. It was all lies and now all he does is call people names and spread hate. I hope Kamala Harris demolishes him and totally humiliates him in he upcoming debates and the election. I also hope that the democrats will be totally prepared for all the riots that will follow if he doesn't win. He's just a baby who causes as much turmoil and chaos when he doesn't get his way. For those of you who support him and believe in his lies, just wait and see where you and this country is in four years. You will be poorer than you are now. Your kids will have little or no education. Inflation will be out of sight, taxes will be unbelievable and he will sight on his GOLD throne laughing. he and all his rich cronies. There will be no middle class. There will only be rich and poor. All his promises and lies will leave you in the dust as he laughs all the way home.
He and his pals are evil and selfish, so go ahead and elect him president and destroy this country. We are free right now. You people that want your guns, what for? You don't need automatic weapons to hunt. Why do you want them? Haven't there been enough school shootings, mass killings at grocery stores and concerts? How can any real American even think about this man as our president. I abhor the senators and congressmen that have allowed this man to brain wash them with all his false lies and promises. Oh I forgot he will take care if you once he is in office. If you really believe that your are in much more peril than you can think of. He is selfish and evil, a horrid combination. Keep the USA free!!!! Please for the grace of GOD do not elect him as president. I am 75 years old and never really belonged to any party. I tried to listen to the candidates and used my own brain and vote for whom I thought had my interests at heart. No one will please everyone but if they really believe in most of what you believe then you must try to trust them. Trump believes he is the one all and know all. He has no heart and no soul!! He corrupt and evil, he belongs in jail, not on the ballot for President of the United State of America. Please make sure that he never makes it to the White House again. Evil, evil evil!!! He is a deplorable human being!!!

This article about Trump is undoubtedly and verifiably true, but misses the point. The majority of Trump supporters truly believe that the Democratic Party has a political, social and economic ideology that will ruin the country, and must be stopped by any means possible. It’s like the electoral choice between the Nazis and the Communists in Germany in 1932. The bourgeois intellectuals were disgusted by Hitler’s personal character and lack of “breeding”, and criticized him using the same terms as this author uses to describe Trump. They were also right. But those bourgeois intellectuals also missed the essence of what was really going on, and so were ineffective at reaching out to his supporters.

Hopeful news for all of the sane, though. In 2020, every yard and home in my neighborhood and city planted huge TRUMP banners and flags in their yards, on their homes, on their trucks, and anywhere else it was legal (or not).

I understand why many people don’t like Trump, however, when one considers the alternatives, to me he is the best of a bad bunch! Especially when that includes Obama, Biden & Harris, as they are all also seriously flawed as well!
It really boils down to a left v right issue. America has unfortunately become very woke with the Democrats becoming more Marxist, so anyone such as Trump who challenges them is at risk.
Obama introduced the racial angle & Biden has been a pawn of the left led by Obama. Harris would take the US further left, is that what people want?
I think that even at his age that Trump is mellowing & that he just had to show up to beat his opponents. However, given the lefts fear of him, I doubt whether there will be an election this year!

Donald Trump truly believes that Kamala Harris disguised her black blood-line, but his belief is not true. Trump believes that Obama’s US birth is suspect, but it is not. Obama was born in the United States. Clearly. Trump believes from the bottom of his heart that he won the 2020 Presidential election, but he did not. He lost. Trump believes that the thugs that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6th are patriots and martyrs but they are not. They are lost souls led astray by Donald John Trump. Trump believes that black women are stupid, but he is deluded in that belief. Trump believes that he is a human being and that is his cardinal delusion. Trump lives in a dream world that works on Reality TV. (look at the ratings, the cash coming in), but sadly for Donald, Reality TV is not real. It’s make-believe. Just like him.

No one projects like Donald Trump. Now he labels Vice President Harris evil. But who was it, when his time in power was at its end, rushed to execute all the federal prisoners he possibly could, running out of time after thirteen were poisoned to death, some of them clinically insane, some possibly innocent, others against the counsel of his closest advisors - and all of this killing committed to burnish his credentials as a tough on crime guy. He wanted to kill more. I hate to break the bad news, Mr. Trump, but that is what true evil looks like. And how about this? One day a panel of Presidential Historians and Political Scientists - Republicans were members - voted Donald Trump the worst President ever. The next day Trump passed that distinction to Joe Biden, and he has been repeating it ever since. Don’t forget too that it was Trump who was convicted of thirty six felonies in a court of law by a jury of his peers. But it is Biden who is “Crooked Joe” That such a pathetic half wit, who himself is probably clinically insane, is the candidate for President of a major political party, and who is adored by millions - well it’s cause for migraines and sleepless nights.

L, it is YOUR lack of awareness and objectivity that drives you to make such an uninformed comment.

Their unwillingness to set aside their own misogyny and racism blinds them to how desperate Trump is to win again. From his public comments, he already thinks he is going to win. Why would he think that? It scares me, and it should scare every American.

Why does he always need someone to explain what he meant. It's obvious, just like people in Russia don't have to vote: because their votes don't matter.

For the two-thirds of Americans who will never vote for Donald Trump, it will be hard for us to remain in a country ruled by a demagogue. Many Americans see MAGA as a cult of angry whites. I see MAGA as more of a religion full of clasped hands worshippers who believe Trump can do no wrong.
Trump is not smart enough to govern the United States. The country will be run by much more intelligent criminals. However, Trump will still have his finger on the trigger of the most dangerous military in the world. Trump may need his wall on the Southern and Northern borders to stem the flow of emigration.

"I don't care how, but you have to get out and vote and again," he added. "Christians, get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what? It will be fixed. It will be fine. You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians."

The British may not understand that Trump never could have succeeded (on his own) in becoming president without the support of the uber wealthy, right-wing American demagogues who have been building toward an oligarchic government takeover since at least the 1970s. That is when they began infiltrating: (1) Talk Radio all over the US, (2) the Fox TV (so-called) News Channel, (3) and (4) conservative Christian denominations --all with ultra right-wing agendas, misleading propaganda, misleading correspondences with certain Christian "End Times" religious beliefs, and outright lies. Several of these demagogic organizations collectively are now referred to as the notorious Project 2025 group of organizations. Leaders in certain Christian denominations were, still are, conned into believing Trump was the man that God was using to bring about what they traditionally have believed was the prophesied End Times. Certain so-called Ministers and Denominational leaders/influencers have been able to blind vast numbers of congregants into supporting Trump, despite his evil moral reputation and law breaking. Their motivation, as old as sin: money and the glorious influence over huge congregations. Oh yes, they have been fine and slick orators with rather peculiar explanations regarding why Christians should excuse a reprobate like Trump. (To say this in a few sentences is, of course, to unavoidable err due to extreme oversimplification.) The movement in this direction has been building in the U.S. since the 1970s. Perhaps it started with the Heritage Foundation. In any case, leading up to the 2016 presidential election, the leaders of this movement recognized that with Donald Trump they could provide a persona to be the face of their plan, a showman with charisma, but no moral compass and no actual education to confuse him, to bring their mission to fruition by making him the President. They have succeeded greatly. Or they had until July 21, 2024. Until Joe Biden and Kamala Harris pulled the political rug from under their feet. And the decent and thoughtful people of America responded instantaneously. It felt, it feels like a miracle just happened. Written on July 25.

Ian, I cannot see one factual statement in your comment. Your “facts” are fed to you by Trump, over and over again; someone who lied over 30,000 times while he was in office. Your Obama/Hillary comments are truly ridiculous, but Trump desperately wants you to believe them, so he continues to sell that crap to you. Trump is the WORST President ever, according to scholars of history who carefully compiled a list of all the presidents using FACTUAL information. He counts on gullible folks like you to spread the lies and delusions, while making absolute fools of yourselves because you can’t provide any real information from reliable sources.
But in the meantime, enjoy those repeated Hannible Lechter jokes, and the repeated boat story about the shark, and all the lies about the things he did while in office, and how he “won’” the 2020 election, while ignoring all the research that says otherwise. Absolutely insane and delusional, and his supporters pathetically try to deflect it all back on Joe Biden. At least Biden is surrounded by good people and a supportive, loving wife. Trump, a felon himself, is surrounded by felons and fools, and his wife obviously can’t stand him.

I see the comments from those war mongers who do not value world peace, but I do not understand. Trump brought peace to the world including three area that had never seen peace before. Obama conspired with Hiliary Clinton and elements of the CIA and FBI to make completely false claims against Trump about "Russian Collusion". Trump began to bring prosperity to America and was very conscious about productivity, the dangers of open borders, and the untruths being told about costs of renewables only policies, and effects of climate change. The UK, Australia, Europe, Canada, and others could certainly benefit enormously by following Trump's lead whilst he was President. Why can't we be told the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Um, whatever freedoms people died for? Thank you for so eloquently and accurately describing trump and his basketful of deplorables. As we crudely say in America - you nailed it!

Well, Kristof, perhaps you should take a good, long look at the policies that Trump and his band of lying, rich arse-kissers have in mind for our country. Take a look at Project 2025, which is absolutely horrifying to those of us who think our democracy is extremely important. Trump wants to stay in power forever, and take away many of the rights and freedoms we hold dear. Just think of it, Kristof…. A self-obsessed, lying, cheating, draft-dodging, woman-grabbing, philandering, convicted rapist, convicted tax evader, to name just a few! His character IS important, and anyone who doesn’t understand that will blindly vote for the con-man who will not do a thing to help them.
Trump is counting on the willful ignorance of the MAGAt voters.

Thank you, Nate, for this amazingly truthful article about Trump. If there has ever been as dim a mental bulb of a man, it remains unknown.
I can’t stop laughing because your uplifting description of Trump, with examples, is exactly my thinking! It is beyond comprehension how that man is being allowed to run again for President of the United States? Everything about him is disgracefully wrong. Trump belongs in prison. I’m flabbergasted by how many of my friends, family, clients and business associates love him to pieces and plan to vote him back into office! Seriously, NO, NO and NO, followed by NO!

Were you aware that Mr Trump boycotted the memorial service for the civil rights icon John Lewis, that he paid no tribute to Willie Mays, that he deemed BLM a symbol of hate, and that he described Kyle Rittenhouse, who killed three BLM partisans as a “fine young man” and honored him with a dinner?

This is without question the best, most consummate piece on trump I have read. I live in the US in the Deep South on the coast and have been dismayed to the point of depression over the state of our country. The Republican Party has been hijacked and handed over to trump by people who know better but surrendered all morality, wisdom and concern for our country. They are banking on the orange spectacle winning and getting appointments for their allegiance and lies for him. The part of this country that do care and are fighting for democracy apologize to the rest of the world for this travesty, embarrassment and everything they collectively) are.

Mr. Standish, you clearly have not sought any sources to back up your ridiculous claim, unless you are consulting Trump’s catalogue of lies. In a recent (February 2024) survey, 154 presidential specialists who are currently members of the American Political Science Association. Trump was LAST. Joe Biden was ranked at #16. Obama was ranked at #7, which would surely enrage Trump, of course. This information is on the Axios website, and similar results from other surveys can be easily Googled. You will believe anything Trump says, even when he doesn’t have the facts and figures to back him up.

Lowest unemployment in history?? Really. Where did you get that information, Truth Social?
Paulie271 days ago
Those were Obama's unemployment numbers. The very same numbers that Trump said were made up and unemployment was more like 25 perhaps 30%. It's on YouTube.. And then as soon as he got into office (electoral college, only, not the popular vote, which he's never won - TWICE), he claimed those low unemployment numbers for himself, which were actually Obama's.
And don't say we weren't at war, because how was it possible for our soldiers to die over in Nigeria, Africa, of which most Americans didn't even know that they were over there and from January 20, 2017 to January 20, 2021, under his watch, there were 45 combat deaths among U.S. service members reported in Afghanistan, as well as 18 “non-hostile” deaths, under his watch.
Not to mention all the demonstrations, riots, and Americans dying and beng injured on the streets of America, with Trump ordering the cops to shoot Americans, while he stood in a church, he does not attend, holding a Bible he's never read upside down.
Let's not forget January 6th when he did absolutely nothing to stop members of Congress from being attacked, cops being attacked, and people dying because he didn't want to give up the presidency like every president before him. So his deranged basket of deplorables attacked even his own vice president while he ate hamburgers and watched it on TV.
Or the hundreds of thousands of people who died of covid under his watch. However when he caught covid he made sure, on our taxpayer dime, that he got the absolute best care possible, while we were piling dead Americans in freezer trucks outside of hospitals because we were so overwhelmed with covid deaths.
You can't tell us differently, because we were all here and we witnessed his disaster of a presidency go down.
And it was just for the reasons described in this article! The most disinterested, except for what he could scam for himself, unqualified, ignorant, useless President we have ever had. Even Nixon looks like an angel next to him!

REALLY, Jerry?? Please enlighten us. How are Biden and Trump alike?
Is Biden a serial womanizer who cheats on his wife, or in Trump’s case, all THREE of his wives?
Does Biden have secret meetings with dictators, or say that he admires those dictators?
Did Biden show disrespect for Queen Elizabeth by lumbering along in front of her like a loutish bully?
Does Biden surround himself with dishonest sycophants who don’t have the guts to stand up to him?
Does Biden show blatant disrespect to those brave men and women who have given their lives for our country, calling them “losers”?
Did Biden steal top secret documents, show them off at parties, stash them in a bathroom, and refuse to give them back when ordered to do?
Did Biden take a Sharpie and alter a national weather map because he didn’t want to be wrong about the states included in the warning?
Was it Biden who tried to stage a coup in order to remain in power after an election loss?
Does Biden have 88 criminal indictments?
Did Biden ignore critical warnings about Covid and suggest injecting bleach or a shot of horse paste as a cure?
I think we already know what Trump’s platform is: Set himself up as a dictator and remain in power. Deny voting rights to those who might vote against him. Deny all rights to women. Align himself with other dictators. Raise taxes on the middle class and lower taxes on the wealthy. Give himself ultimate power over everyone.
Jerry, Trump is running on his own personal platform: REVENGE, and keeping himself out of jail. There are none so blind as a Trump supporter. To compare Biden to Trump is absolutely absurd, but I see comments such as yours every day. Deflect, deflect, deflect.
Is Biden perfect? Of course not. Nobody is saying that he is, but at least he has good people around him, who will guide him when he needs it. We are only now hearing from Trump’s staff about how terrible he was to work with.

Seriously? President Bident raised his kids on his own after his wife and sons were in a tragic care accident, killing his first wife. He re-married in 1977 and they go to church every Sunday as strict Catholics - having grown up in middle class suburb of Scranton, PA. His wife from Philly. >>> Trump was born with a tacky, golden spoon in his mouth. He inherited his money from mommy and daddy, cheated on every wife - including right after delivery of their son Baron. He paid $130,000 hush money too a pornstar he has sex with and was buddies with a known pedophile (Jeffrey Epstein). Fraud, fraud, fraud. Never paying contractors or just pennies on the dollar for their work for him. Did I mention that there former President of the United States is selling golden, basketball sneakers for $250. Also a Bible for $60. Both of which claim all money is going directly to him. The former First Lady (who is never seen with him) - is selling Mother's Day necklaces with proceeds going directly to her. He's behaving like Putin's baby brother and other similar leaders in: China, North Korea and Hungary. Grab a newspaper, not a Facebook group, next time you want to compare Trump to Biden.

@AceConcepts - He is not “President Trump.” He is a disgraced ex-president, but since you managed to work it in three times in your opinion piece, I assume you still think he’s the president. Only the 2020 election deniers refer to him as President Trump. Also, I am confused by your implication that Trump is somehow “straight-talking and anti-establishment.” TRUMP?? A straight-talker?? He flips and flops constantly on issues, depending on who he is talking to. And I can hardly believe that Trump is anti-establishment when he clearly longs for the days when rich, white men had all the power, had all the control over women, and could treat minorities as slaves.

@Ace Concepts III - It's a critique, it's not a "both sides" piece. If a food critic gives their opinion about a restaurant, why bother expending the energy pointing out that taste is subjective and that the food critic's opinion is unfair and dismissive to a restaurant's patrons? A refutation isn't necessary because the author's opinion is not a thesis.

Ace Concepts III337 days ago
Ed article rebuttals
While Nate White's critique of President Trump may resonate with some, it is important to acknowledge that opinions on political figures vary widely, both within and outside the United States. Firstly, attributing specific qualities like class, charm, or wit to a leader is subjective and may not universally define their effectiveness. President Trump's direct and sometimes controversial style may not align with traditional British sensibilities, but it does appeal to a significant portion of the American electorate who value straight-talking and anti-establishment rhetoric.
Furthermore, labeling President Trump as lacking in humor or wit overlooks the fact that humor is culturally specific and what may be seen as humorless to one audience could be perceived differently by another. Additionally, focusing solely on President Trump's persona overlooks the policies and actions of his administration, which garnered support from many Americans who felt overlooked by previous administrations.
It's also worth noting that characterizing all Americans who support President Trump as lacking in discernment or decency is unfair and dismissive. Political preferences are complex and influenced by a multitude of factors beyond just personality traits.
While criticism of political figures is natural and necessary in a democratic society, it's essential to engage in constructive dialogue rather than resorting to sweeping generalizations and insults. Constructive criticism can lead to meaningful discourse and potentially bridge divides, whereas personal attacks only serve to deepen polarization and hinder progress.

You are repeating a certifiably false proposition, those of you who earnestly believe that his supporters cannot see him for who he is. They can. That is the magic of his appeal for him. He promises to take them back to a time when it was a white man’s (not white woman’s) country, when a Negro knew he’d better step in the gutter and off the sidewalk when he saw a white man approaching, and when he knew that any untoward advances toward white women would send him back to Money, Mississippi to meet the same fate as Emmitt Till.

Trump has none of these qualities and revels in the Cess Poole of his creation. In time, he will be a footnote of history that defines the evil and hate that exists. May it be soon.

He has been an adulterer 3 times, divorced and remarried, but somehow this gets a pass with the Bible Belt who supposedly hold marriage sacred and think they can determine who can marry and who can’t. He NEVER answers a question directly, but when Democrats do it it’s ducking. His platform last time was Lock Her Up, Drain The Swamp, and Build The Wall. Didn’t do any of it. He did why every politician does, D & R, gave jobs and contracts to friends and donors and for some reason you are all convinced he is a saint. Wake up. Now he is selling Bibles. He doesn’t attend church. He rallies against mail in ballots, that’s how he votes. He is on a recorded message insisting GA officials find him votes. He associates with porn stars, has filed for bankruptcy 11 times, and doesn’t give a shit about anyone or thing but himself and his ego.

Ditto to every comment I read, especially those about why the maga cult cannot see what this man is! Another four years? I think not, although there are those in place already with plans to decertify the election should Trump lose. This has been going on since January 2021, when this classless individual refused to peacefully transfer the power of the presidency to Joe Biden. His cult members began then setting up their plans for January 2025. Truly scary that this could happen here again!

Amen. It couldn’t have been said any better. That is exactly how I see it & I will NEVER understand how so many are blind sided by this man. Especially fellow Christians….
There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers. Proverbs 6:16-19

It’s what happens in all cults; they turn malignant and metastasize, eventually killing the whole body-social or body-politic. Before that end, however, Trump and his legions of lickspittles will have handed the keys to America to Putin and Orban, and he will have loosed the dogs of fascism on the world. He is the third Anti-Christ.

Interesting to read the British perspective, at least from one author. As an American, I find it extremely unfortunate and reprehensible that most of our nation will be offered two poor choices this November to be our leader for the next four years. Not that it matters much in the scheme of things, but not every conservative and not every person aspiring to be a Christian wants Donald Trump to be their next president. May God help us to get back to respecting each other and working together to build a strong, unified nation. We will always have differences, but we must learn to live with them if we want to make things better.

I don’t know when Jeraldine grew up, but she didn’t learn to check her spelling. I don’t want to go backwards to when the football coach at my high school regularly made sexual advances to female students out in the open, then I get to law school and a male professor tells me in front of 100 classmates he knows it’s hard for a female to think but I need to try. Another professor asked a female classmate in front of the same 100 classmates to flash him her breasts. She quit school. We never complained because we had no voice, minorities had no voice, no one marginalized had a voice. No one turned those predatory men in because that was the accepted hell for females. Even 15 years ago I was told when I became a law professor I wasn’t eligible for health insurance for my family but a male professor in my exact same position got health insurance for his family. So no, I don’t want to go back and not to a predatory president without a decent bone in his body. And what exact problems has Biden caused our country?

But the latter comment perfectly explains the Trump voter: alienated from the present and longing for a past that no longer exists—and likely never existed.
Because while in your mind, the America of the past was idyllic, I guarantee you that the America you want really sucked for some other people: LGBTQ+ folks, Hispanics, Blacks, Jews, women, Catholics, Irish, etc., etc. The farther back you go, the more you can be guaranteed that more and more groups are added to the list of those against whom the system was biased and discriminatory. But yes, let's all get in a Time Machine so that you can enjoy your nostalgia-influenced vision of America and do so at the expense of all those who struggled to make America the country that it is.
Elaine343 days ago
For gawd’s sake, Jeraldine, educate yourself! Repeating Trump’s lies without actually fact-checking is exactly why Trump says he loves the uneducated. I dare you to look up Biden’s actual accomplishments over the past three years. The surging stock market, millions of new jobs created, critical infrastructure work that affects us all. Laughably, Trump is trying to take credit for all of that because he is telling the Gullibles that it is all happening because he will be back in office. And the MAGA mob need look no further than Trump to blame when the critical and bipartisan border bill was shot down by Republicans on Trump’s order!

You are not part of any solution. You need someone else to Blame. Can’t see the forest you’re in because of the dead trees you’re in. Sad and I wish you’d get help.

Thank you for your keen insight. I have been trying for years to describe Donald Trump but could not put my feelings and thoughts into succint words. You hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately, im deeply concerned we are going to have to live through 4 more ghastly years of a Trump administration. However, since Trump has continually said that he did not lose the election. Since a person cannot hold the executive office for more than 2 terms in the USA, i dont understand why he is able to run again since he claims he was the real elected person in the 2920 election. Take him off the ballot.

His mere existence and following he has, makes it acceptable for the all the behaviour mentioned in your artcle.

The fact that Sister C person is often stubborn must not blind us to the fact that she is not independent.

She is under a spell, blinded, misused, and abused in her very being.

Do I dare say this here? I am an American, who seems to be in an ever growing minority of voters who despises Dumpty Trump. As a recovering Republican conservative I was raised in the brainwashing and it wasn’t until I got married and out of my parents brainwashing bubble that I realized how clueless I truly was. After many years of reading and reprogramming myself, I was sure I had realized the sad reality of American politics. When Trumpty came out of his penthouse and descended that escalator like he was God coming through the heavens to be with the riff-raff for a big announcement, I swore nobody will really fall for this, right? I was so wrong. Now I and others like me are being over-run with toothless, gun toting, Christian nationalists who want to make their religion our law. HELP!

Hi guys, if you ever wanted to see into the head of a cult member (Christian, Jersusalem, Last Days - ‘The End is near’) ‘Sister C.’
Well.
There you have it.
I loved to do pen-and-paper roleplaying, reading fantasy and science-fiction literature, so I know there are other worlds where things are and run different then in our Reality.
But, some are not capable or willing to make that distinction. Cults work by disconnecting people from Reality - like ‘Game Masters’ - but then somehow manage to convince them that the fascinating and often entertaining stories they tell their followers that those made-up stories ARE REALITY.
And then, you get people like that.

"If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set." Remember, we had a lad from Down Under who thought to put this pile of excrement on network TV . And thousands of Americans cried out, "YESS!!!!! He's a true businessman!!!! What a mensch!" If not for Mark Burnett and his fake reality programming, (and general American ignorance) this guy would still be trying to con the media that he's worth a two-line statement on Page Six.
You have exactly captured the essence of Trumpty Dumpty.

None of you LIVE here or have a clue the DESTRUCTION Obama has done and is doing to our country! Under TRUMP "NO WARS" AMERICA came first! He has changed a lot but one thing has NOT! TRUMPS love for AMERICA and her ppl! Gas was $1.59 I paid 28.00 to fill my SUV! Now 100.00 elec GAS FOOD unbelievable and its on PURPOSE! O'BIDEN is a DICTATOR.. says we can't drive gas cars anymore or use gas stoves! That's just the beginning! Today even the AMERICAN flag is under ATTACK! And what this administration did to EASTER, NO RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS were allowed on the EASTER EGGS, and instead of celebrating the RESURRECION of our SAVIOR it was "TRANS-DAY"! We need a man who loves his country FIRST! Look at BIDENS children both drug addicts! His daughter says she wouldn't take a shower for fear of her dad coming in who SEXUALLY abused her! Her dairy was found in a half-way house and found to be true! I heard her say so myself! So you go ahead and bash TRUMP, but I can tell you America was a smooth running machine under TRUMP and thats what the MIDDLE CLASS ppl know about him, NOT what he says but what he does! HE puts AMERICA FIRST! These demons from hell trying to destroy him and our REPUBLIC are the same ones trying to bring in the GREAT RESET" or as the BIBLE says in REV13 "ONE WORLD ORDER" you won't buy sell work or eat without the JAB wear the mask OBEY the commands...COVID was only testing ground to see how far they could take our freedom before we pushed back! I pray TRUMP can survive the evil that is being done to him and that he lives to be our POTUS again! AMERICA FIRST! READ THE PROPHETS! LAST DAYS✝ LAST CALL🔯 LAST TRUMP🕎 all eyes on 🕎👀JERUSALEM 👀🕎🙏🌹

A better use for TDS, or Trump Derangement Syndrome, would be to use it as a label for folks, such as yourself, who refuse to believe that Trump is anything but a lying, cheating, grifting, lecherous, senile, creepy old conman. You refuse to fact check ANYTHING he says, and therefore making yourself look foolish. He surrounds himself with liars, cheaters, grifters, and mental midgets who tell him he’s a smart, handsome, and a real stud of a man. Sickening.
Ask yourself this, David…. How many of Trump’s cronies are in jail, or awaiting jail? Does that sound like a man who has good people around him? Why won’t banks loan him money? Why doesn’t he have the willpower to shut his mouth instead of racking up further fines and penalties? Does he sound like a world leader to you? Would a world leader retweet an image of President Biden, bound and gagged, in the back of a pickup truck? That’s the kind of juvenile mentality you think deserves to be president again?

It’s like the 85 billion we left in Afghanistan. It’s amazing the pea size brain that you people have. All you can do is point out the faults and somebody else you can’t tell us the good that your president is doing because there is none when you let the hundreds of thousands of people that have died from fentanyl when all about the illegals to be legal so that they can vote so that your party can have an edge that’s in the front pocket of the Chinese, but his son being appointed to boards and he has nothing or no knowledge of what he is boarding for if you don’t see the hypocrisy or the unintelligence of this person that is supposed to be running our country because I cannot say the other word His title, because he certainly is not living up to his promises that he stood before the American people and said he was going to be a uniter I have never seen a person let alone a president that has divided and brought turmoil to a country that was doing extremely well. When you have people like Schumer and Durbin or vice president if you can sit there and say that these people are doing a good job I don’t know what planet you’re living on, certainly you need to look at what is going on not only in our country , but in our world, you are blind to the truth I will say this about Trump like your president doesn’t believe that a baby can be born and laid on a stainless steel table while they decide what they’re going to do with the baby that I can say, and that is a man I would rather vote for than the moron that is walking around trying to be president.

Did you do any research as to why the border situation has not improved when there was a bipartisan bill up for the vote that would have vastly improved the situation with more law enforcement funding? Of course you haven’t. TRUMP was the one who shot that down because he wants to campaign on it, using the same kind of nonsensical drivel that you just expressed! Did you fact-check any of your rants? Of course you didn’t! That’s why Trump says he loves the uneducated! Yes…. He really did say that, Craig.

It is an accurate article. Sadly, most people that support Trump know his faults, and understand he is a fraud. The reason they support Trump is that he hates and insults the same people they dislike. They love it when the people they dislike are outraged by him. It doesn't matter if Trump is inept, or a wannabe dictator, or skimming money out of the government, they will support and vote for him anyway, It is a pretty sad situation.

Most democrats don’t look at who has done more for USA and world. He is the only president after several presidents who did not have war in 4 years he was president Good relationship with most world leaders even if they don’t agree in many areas in USA lower income people did well. He was liked by more Africans, Latinos and other minorities than other republican presidents Border was relatively secured good economy. Covid derailed him otherwise he would still be our president

Hopefully by then, Jules, the Trump arse-kissers in Congress will realize how insane Trump is, and vote for the bipartisan bill that would help immensely with the border problem. But - NO!! Trump complains about the problem, which is all he has to run on, (see his unhinged speech at the border), but heaven forbid that Biden would get the job done, even though Biden is ready, willing, and able to give Republicans credit, too. Trump is becoming more and more deranged every day. He is desperate to get back to the Oval Office so that he can pardon himself for his crimes, and he is ready, willing, and able to sell America to Putin. The continuation of the border problem is a Republican problem at this point. They got what they asked for in the bill, but their orange idol said to turn it down, and that’s what those disgraceful Republicans did.

For those who actually believe in the Christian bible, it tells a story of creation. God created Adam and then Eve. They had two children, Cain and Able. Cain killed Able. At that point, the world's population was four, then three. 25% of the population was a killer, probably insane. Some creation. That percentage still seems to hold true today with a population of over eight billion, at least in the USA, where 25 to 30 % of the population supports Trump. That, to me, is the equivalent of being insane. It is also the approximate percentage of the population that thinks the government should be guided by the fairytales in their bible. Nate White is spot on in his description of djt. The sooner the world is rid of him, the better. The real question is, what can be done about his deranged supporters?

Donald Trump is that most unforgivable of things - a fool. He demonstrates this on an almost daily basis, by endlessly repeating some falsehood or by making something up out of whole cloth, often to his own detriment. Exactly how smart do you have to be to lose a defamation case and be fined five million dollars, then do it again the next day and be fined over ten times the first judgement… I think that anyone who thinks that Trump is a savvy politician has only to look at the number of people he has appointed to various cabinet positions that have since quit, resigned, abdicated, or just plain run away from him with all haste. To a man (or woman), all were praised to the skies in the beginning, and brutalized for their “disloyalty” when they fled from this maniac. The thing I truly cannot understand is the large number of Trump faithful that stand by him and tell the rest of us, “Yeah, he’s my kind of guy!” Racist, sexually assaultive, uneducated, unperceptive, cruel, and a boor by any standard you care to name, Donald Trump is the only human being I have ever prayed with all my heart to see grab his chest and hit the floor, or be directly under a falling piano. He is by any measure the biggest threat to our democracy that has ever existed, and I wish him GONE!

These qualities, in a position of influence makes him a dangerous man. Thank god he throws catsup like a two year old! Imagine how much worse it could have been if he weren’t such a baboon. We as citizens took for granted democracy as if it were our right instead of our duty to protect. He has shown us how much bigotry, sexism and xenophobia exist and is allowing us the opportunity to address the hate at a whole new level. He has shown us how destructive political propaganda can infiltrate major news networks giving credence to and becoming a vehicle to spread lies. He has shown us once again how creating fear and hate is an effective way to control people. Most importantly, he has shown us where our strengths are and where our weaknesses are and in the future this country will be better prepared for a real dictator in waiting. Now we know it is possible! For now we better buckle our seat belts, keep our hands and feet inside because this is going to be one wild ride!

The author of this diatribe must have been looking in a mirror because he has very accurately described the British politicians and a good part of their aristocracy who pretend to have the qualities so clearly defined as missing from Trump. For confirmation of the British "class" just ask any Rhodesian. The so called "class" you claim to have is better defined as two faced, backstabbing, thieving and traitorous. Ask the masses in Zimbabwe how well they are doing after being helped by the British to become independent. I was once told that a German will look you in the face and stab you in the chest - an Englishman will smile into your face and stab you in the back. I'd rather deal with a crass bastard like Trump than a traitorous hypocrite any time in my life. PS if you think Trump is a problem have a good look around and see exactly were the USA and the UK are heading with their current and past administrations. I'm not sure if I should learn Russian, Chinese or Arabic because English will soon be replaced due to British and American leftist flawed philosophy and incompetence.

I don't agree. Is Trump a perfect man? No - but then neither is any other man. He has flaws sure enough, but ask the poor black woman who moved into a rental unit in Trump Towers in New York without authorization and without paying rent if he has compassion. He was asked what to do about her. He said let her stay there, and so she did, At the time of the last report i saw about it, she was still there. There are lots of other things he has done to help people in need - but they are done quietly and, bombastic as he certainly can be, he does not boast about them. If the author's sources are all left wing or legacy media, that would explain why he got it so very wrong. Do a kittle more and truly honest research, Mr. White, then consider if you got it right.

In 2008, there was a sizable swathe of Americans left in stunned disbelief that millions of white people had voted for a Negro to be President. Donald Trump was one of them and he embarked upon a crusade to tear Obama down, based first on the wholly made-up claim that Obama was foreign born; then continued in the same spirit to make false accusations about Obama, and to refer to him regularly as Barack Hussein Obama.. this campaign of anti-Obama propaganda was intended to signal to his fellow Nazis that Trump was one of them. I was with a young Asian American woman when the US Capitol was attacked on January 6, 2021. With tears cascading down her cheeks, she said “If those were black people doing that, they’d be dead by now.” But, as we know, the person who bears complete responsibility for that attack is now favored to be the next President of the United States; and thus we have another camp of Americans reeling in stunned disbelief: How is it that millions of white people can support such a twisted, silly ignorant creature as Trump, who committed treason before their very eyes? Many of them in the name of Jesus?

Because he demolished their defense with his texts, proving they knowingly and willfully perpetrated lies. Thanks to him, Dominion won a lawsuit that’s almost impossible to win.
Trump did practically nothing of any value, zip, nada. All he did was hurt the people you hate, and build a fraction of a wall on our tax dollars that he’d promised you Mexico would pay for. I have friends who supported Trump in 2016, but none who supported him in 2020. Because you have to be stupid. And I don’t say that hyperbolically; I mean it literally. You are stupid.

"Picking between Biden and Trump wouldn’t be about surrendering to the lesser of two evils.

Old is workable. Depravity is a dead end".

As a life long US citizen, who's live through the Nixons, Reagans, Bushes (both), and 45, I can assure you that this article is that it is spot on. Unmentioned is that trump hates animals, including dogs. And they, with the inate senses they possess to identify evil, hate him. Just look up the Bald eagle's (our national symbol) reaction to trump when brought into the Oval Office when he was defiling the room as POTUS. The eagle attacked the guy! Thanks to the Brit who penned this piece. I have shared it widely.

This bigoted, prejudice, dangerous, insane, wannabe dictator is un-American, and the people who listen to him, and still vote for him, are un-American, too. As an American I always say his followers are either greedy, ignorant, or stupid. And, he is all of those things, too. This article is brilliant.

The problem with this man’s remarks , is that not all British agree with them. He is representative of the Aristocracy, which felt they are better than everyone else. Remember where this country came from. We are descendants of the poor, indentured, cast off dregs who they chose to eliminate. So while they stick their noses up and judge people, comparing themselves to us, they should remember who had their back when it was against the wall, and show some respect.

Mary, as an American, I strongly agree with the writer, and take no offense at his great sense of humor. Trump is making any American who vote for the wretched, whining, crybaby look like absolute fools. They are given evidence time and time again as to all his lies, scams, and dirty dealings, but prefer to believe Trump’s “I’m the most innocent man in the world” absolute BS.

Why is it milquetoast, and not milk toast?
Caspar Milquetoast is a comic strip character created in 1924 by cartoonist Harold T. Webster. Beginning a few years after the character's debut, the term milquetoast came to describe a timid or meek person. Caspar's last name is fitting because milk toast is a weak, bland concoction of buttered toast served in a dish of warm milk.

The thing that most disturbs thinking Americans is the fact that with a few exceptions, our congress and senate members are not stupid. They know what trump is. (I insist on the lowercase t) Yet, they are willing to give servitude to his lies and his threat to the the welfare of our country, in order to retain the favor and votes of the stupid cult followers who support that sociopath. As such, he does not know or care what is right or wrong. For the most part, our legislators and Supreme Court judges do, yet they lack the intergrity to perform as they swore an oath to do.

I think it’s a generalization that only Americans would find Trump’s lack of couth , and depth, appealing.
There are millions in the US that are appalled that he would even be on the ballot to begin with. It takes a certain level of gullibility, anger, resentment , and the appeal of authoritarianism that leads people to his appeal. And, having been exposed to the British, there is the same demographic there as well. However, this writer seems to be speaking about a segment of British society as those Americans who feel the same as they do. Dig deeper.
Lourdes1 year ago
Rightfully put!! Only forty something percent of Americans are in favor of this unmentionable man. I think that they felt voiceless and that’s why they identified with him. Mostly ignorance is what led them to the unfortunate path of following him. The undecided made his election possible and the rest of us sank in dismay and disbelief of what had happened. We are hopeful that this won’t be repeated in the next election. We believe that love and reason will prevail. Forgive my English writing (this being my second language).

Hear, hear. So simply and delightfully said. And in the times we are living through, Trump is exactly what the world does not need. It takes someone with an inner core to speak truth to power and to stand for what matters. He has no core, other than self interest, and he shoots himself in the foot because he is clueless. He is a self-absorbed grifter, a coward who hides behind lies and bullying in the pretense he cares about America. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Trump cares only about himself. His ONLY reason for running for re-election is to stay out of prison. If he wins, his #1 priority will be to seek revenge on anyone who has tried to hold him accountable for his crimes, and he will continue to incite his low-IQ followers to harass and threaten officials who were doing their jobs. His 90+ indictments are REAL, no matter what he claims. If our democracy is not important to you, then vote for Trump. His followers have no clue that he doesn’t care about them at all, other than their votes and their donations. They refuse to see the evil man-child he really is. We were not better off with him as President. If he believed in “America first,” he wouldn’t have been hoarding and hiding secret documents, and showing them off to his friends.

One good response is to be kind and smile to each other more. Trump feeds on feelings of isolation and fear, because then people feel powerless and look to tough charlatans to protect them. Smiling and kindness create the bond of community.

PERFECT DESCRIPTION OF THE MATTER THAT IS TRUMP AND ALL THINGS TRUMPIAN! I don't think our forefathers/mothers had this in mind while trying to birth a new country with "liberty and justice for all". The British people could look out their windows one day soon and see a vast armada of canoes, row boats, air boats, rafts, jet skis and all type of sea worthy vessels frantically racing toward them in a reverse rush to leave the no longer livable US (means US) if the Trumper gets back in office. We'll leave the Mango Monster, the ever stupid MTG, BOBO, Tucker Carlson, FOX NEWS, Steve Bannon along with the Maga MAN and WOMAN. The cartels will swope north from Mexico and the Christian Nationalists will leave their now taxed temples to themselves and the Proud Boys, all the other right wing Nazi militias will rule AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL and the Statue of Liberty will be sold for scrap metal. Lincoln will be removed from the LINCOLN MEMORIAL and a big ugly lump of dung shaped as Trump will be substituted.

A joy to read. As an American I can but gape and wretch at the American media's kid-gloves treatment of this enormous suppurating human carbuncle on the forehead of the Republican Party. It is as if he were nothing more than a slightly gauche but tolerable cad instead of the greatest existential threat to open public democracy in the history of American politics. The mainstream American media seem both terrified to directly confront or challenge him or his ominous shadowy backers, while also shamelessly exploiting him for every last penny of commercial revenue, all without the slightest concern about the caustic, destructive effect he is having on the country.
Since the vast majority of his supporters are authoritarian religious zealots known as 'white-nationalists,' Christian Dominionists, et al, I think the media are also terrified of the religious backlash that he could summon that would negatively affect their pocketbooks. His followers share a blind, cult-like devotion to him – no doubt because as a natural con man he speaks their often incoherent language of disjointed, incongruous, incomplete thoughts, which they instinctively grasp and internalize on a subliminal level.
There is however, one extremely tangible factor in all this, and that is Murdoch's Fox Network, which is the flagship of far-right disinformation and dissimulation, which acts as a sewer pipe delivering a torrent of bigoted, unsupported opinions and other mental rubbish into American living rooms. Without Fox, Trump would have remained a tiny blip on the political radar.
I believe that, as Churchill said of Americans, they eventually do the right thing – after they have tried everything else, but I'm not so sure if it will come in time to save this republic.

What people are missing here is, Trump is a sociopath. He is incapable, psychologically and permanently, of empathy for anyone else. ANYone else. Every interaction he has, no matter with whom, is first and foremost about HIS needs, wishes, needs, ideas, needs, comfort, needs, etc. He needs to avoid being put in jail. Therefore, he runs for President, because, pardons; and because, Presidents are held harmless for term of office. His shortcut to be a dictator (so that he CAN'T EVER be held liable) unfortunately failed on Jan. 6, 2021. So he needs to run again. He doesn't CARE what happens to others, the country, the world, even to his kids (so it's O.K. to make THEM sign their names on the dotted line.) See how that works? He is a great, shambling 2-year-old in a blue suit and long red tie, who has no boundaries, is all Id, all the time. He throws his plate at the wall. He tries to strangle his driver/Secret Service Officer when frustrated. He treats women like objects, there only to cater to his whim. He has no sense of guilt, shame, joy, love. He doesn't play with kids:not his own, nor his grandchildren. Even his golfing is about his ego. He ignores the Queen, doesn't follow protocol. He doesn't CARE what anyone else thinks, he only requires they wait upon him. Just like a feral cat; It is beyond selfish, it is profound disinterest. He is a person who never matured, will never say sorry, doesn't CARE what anyone thinks of him. He is not compensating, hoping, wishing. He wants, he gets. Or he smashes anyone who doesn't come through. He promises if that's what it takes, but he doesn't come through either. He doesn't live in reference to other people, their feelings, lives, needs, wants -- only in reference to his own self. He is profoundly damaged and will never heal.

I have the good fortune to have an American wife ( am South African born ..now a farmer post being a British barrister and banker ). I recall growing up in apartheid South Africa and choosing to leave . I feel for American friends including republicans who are bewildered by what their unrecognisable country has become..that this preening humourless ignorant thug has a chance of becoming a president again( for the likes of Taylor Biden has restored some overseas respect for the USA ). I fear for my children if this dreadful dishonest vulgar ill read man gets back in.
It baffled me for years as to how a highly educated citizenry could have bought the Nazi ideology. But now I see how a people can buy into a man who is cruel and treads on the disadvantaged and less fortunate . A bully , a loser and a fraud . But they lap up the utter nonsense being fed them

For the same reason that they support Hamas and vote Tory or socialist: they are totally indoctrinated and have not a clue about the reality of this planet and who ultimately controls it and who really does threaten it. Trump may be a boor at times, but most of the below have not a clue about what makes a leader and are of the same ilk as those who crucified Churchill in the pre-WW2 era.
Trump knows how to lead a country despite the unified opposition of the leftist decerebrates brainwashed by the financial elite and exemplified here, who, no doubt, lap up demented Joe's puppet dance and the "competence" of current UK leadership. One day they might wake up but for most of them breaking indoctrination is impossible and it is hard to even feel remotely sorry for them as they are partly responsible for the ever-increasing problems of this world.

I’m at a loss to understand how Americans put up with this boorish twit. I’m no fan of the idea that his Frank observations are a breath of fresh air. Surely after all this time. All the lies. All the deception. All the court appearances. All the petty, ugly, bigoted insults. All the misogyny… Americans must not believe his vitriolic bile and deceit. I do not understand the idea that refusing to vote is exercising one’s freedumb. It simply abrogates your responsibility to your country. And no other people on earth put patriotism on such a pedestal as Americans. Vote for fucks sake. End this comedy.

S.Taylor…. PLEASE do yourself a favor and stop getting (and sharing) your absurdly slanted views from the shameless right-wing “news” sites, such as FOX News (already in big trouble for the lies they have told), Breitbart, NewsMax, Rush Limbaugh, Infowars, and multiple other sites. For those Trump propaganda machines, everything Biden has done is wrong, and life was all sunshine and roses under Trump. How can anyone be naive enough to believe the nonsense you just regurgitated? How do you explain all Trump’s indictments? Hint: The answer is not “Fake News,” as Trump would have you believe - while asking you to send him money, of course.
In answer to your question…. YES, America and the world is better off under Biden, in spite of Donald Trump trying to undermine everything Biden has managed to accomplish with the very Trump-friendly House of Representatives, which is a total disaster because of Trump’s meddling. Do you honestly feel that barely accomplishing ANYTHING in the House due to Trump’s interference is a good thing for America and the world? Trump pushed Jim Jordan for Speaker, knowing that the slimy insurrectionist would do his bidding and continue to try and get the election overturned.
Biden is not perfect by any means, but he is FAR better than the shameless, self-serving, lying, cheating, philandering, conniving, bullying, name-calling, tantrum-throwing, revenge obsessed man-child who is Donald Trump.

Don’t believe what S Taylor wrote. I always say Trump isn’t the problem, the problem is people like Taylor who voted for trump. These are the people who continue to try to ruin America. They have been privileged by Americas horrible systems for centuries. But now they are upset because they no longer lynch a black man (sometimes) without repercussions. They can no longer beat and rape women without repercussions
(sometimes). And, more importantly they finally figured out that they are equal to everyone else and realized they can’t measure up. Without the advantages acquired by the system, Trump voters became fully aware that white supremacy is a myth. They cannot face the fact that they are not the heroes, they are not the smartest (actually they’re quite dumb to fall for trumps shit), they are not the most sexy, they are very weak (just like trump) and they can’t stand it, so they write stuff like S Taylor.
This a great article that deserves to spread like wild fire!!!!

As a senior American I must say that Biden ( or BHO’s third term) has done exactly what he campaigned on, opening our border, defunding our police, stopping the oil flowing in favor of sun and windmills, and the exit of Afghanistan before 9/11 anniversary and he has succeeded on all of these ….. plus raising our gas / food prices, electricity bills, making our big cities unsafe, not to mention more than 2 sexes using weird pronouns to address people, increased homelessness… even foot dragging on helping Ukrainians and Lord know what will happen to the Israelites since both conflicts resulted from HIS weakness so emboldened the world’s bad guys. So maybe Trump is all you say personally but he was tough and a bully, told you what he would do if you threatened us or other countries, Very pro-American ( for freedom) and held the baddies at bay. Can you say America and the world are better off under Biden?? Hardly, unless you are very rich or delusional so I doubt your life has improved. I am in my 8o’s, raised by a high ranking military father and traveled the world since late 1950’s. Believe me there is no better place than here but we are losing it practically overnight under Biden. I am sorry for what is coming and how your world will change but I will be gone. Votes have consequences!! in America!!! (I lived in London for 2 years in late 50’s and it WAS wonderful so will always be pro-British but you now have the same liberal progressive problems.) I am so glad I am old and Iived in the best time. ( have your grandchildren learn Chinese as they will need it!)

As a citizen of the United States the most shocking, disheartening occurrence in my lifetime has been the election and blind devotion to a man who embodies evil.

Kathryn Dcamp1 year ago
Some say he “got things done.” But he didn’t! He appointed qualified people in the beginning- except for Ivanka and Jarod, but then he fired them when they failed to do his bidding. His replacements were so bad they’d never have been confirmed, so he put “acting” lackeys in to do as he ordered, whether it was legal or not. He tried to ban all Muslims from entering the country, which failed. He promised to build a wall, which he did not do - he barely reinforced walls that were already there. He said Mexico would pay for the wall, which of course, they didn’t. He got taxes lowered on billionaires after he’d promised to lower taxes on the middle class. He negotiated with the Taliban to exit Afghanistan, agreeing to a date during his term of office, and then leaving us in until Biden was in office - after having committed to the Taliban we’d be out. Of course the Taliban started taking over and taking retribution on Afghans who cooperated with us. They had a deal with Donald Trump and were not going to start over negotiating with a new President. And those Afghans who helped us? Trump’s little buddy Stephan Miler blocked all requests to let them in to the U.S., knowing they’d be slaughtered, and despite requests from U.S. service members, and Congressmen, both Republicans and Democrats. Biden opened up those visas and we were able to save some, but not all. Can you imagine how that will hamper cooperation in any future conflict? I’d ask for my visa upfront, before I helped America in the future. Even translators and their families were targeted and in some cases killed.
Trump also blocked even legal immigration. And, under the economy Biden rebuilt, unemployment is at historic lows. Unfortunately, we could use more legal immigrants as we have 11 million more jobs than people to fill them. This hampers the growth of our economy.
And, what has Trump done since losing the election and 60+ lawsuits contesting it? Just incite a mob to storm the capital who smeared feces on the wall and erected a gallows before chanting “Hang Mike Pence.” And promote the lie that the election was stolen from him, despite many many recounts continuing to validate the results. Oh, and fundraise to “Stop the Steal” and actually use that money for his legal fees.
Trump got NOTHING of value done for the American people. He is every bit as awful as the writer says he is.

I am an American living in my country and I LOVE your description. It is the best I've read, also. One that mainstream American media wouldn't dare print. What Brits may consider is that his supporters in the American public are daily being brainwashed by Fox News and other extreme forms of media. They fall into the category of followers and most are poorly educated, though not all. It is as if they are in a cult - no amount of talk changes their minds. That is truly frightening, as it reveals a flaw in human nature that we've seen lead to horrific times in history, in other parts of the world. Now it is appearing in our country, something I thought I'd never see. But the suggestible ones in the public, those who can be led to worship an anti-Christ-type figure, seem to be unflappable. And isn't this what we have seen unfold in Germany and Russia? Don't think it can't happen in the UK. It could happen anywhere under the right conditions. Currently, the world must work together to see to it that this monster doesn't get reelected, as he is a menace to the entire world. I suspect we haven't seen even a portion of what he is capable of. It is chilling to consider. Thank you for this article.

He also hates dogs, as far as I know, a mortal sin in Great Britain.

So well said! And have you seen his mug shot (as if anyone could miss it)? Does anyone remember the movie Zoolander? This was a very funny spoof of modern society based around a male supemodel of that name played by Ben Stiller. His signature "look" was called "Blue Steel", and you can Google it if you don't remember what it looks like. I am sure Trump studied this look before he went in to pose for his mug shot, and the resulting photo was something I believe might appropriately be called "Rusty Steel" or even "Orange Jelly" because of Trump's famously orange skin tone.

So, in light of all the good points you make, why is Trump such a popular politician. That seemingly is the question we should be asking.

I agree with Mark. The uncaring for middle America’s job losses and resultant destruction of towns left many people with no choice. How could it get worse- well now we know. So let our Politicians encourage corporate leaders to engage in profit sharing and employee treatment as done in 1970s and 1980s. Problem now is many Corporate leaders are without conscience, downsizing and firing at will and making choices for their companies that are good for as long as their next bonus.

All this judgement and finger-pointing does nothing to fix anything, and is basically just not constructive. Trump is no different from anyone else who was traumatized as a child and is now stuck in negative, subconscious behavior patterns; that is everywhere in Western culture to one degree or another. It tends to play out in Addictive patterns, whether that be drugs, alcohol, sex, money, fame, violence, or creating an imagined superiority to others. Sure, Trump kicks people who are down, but he's down and you're kicking him. The real question is what do you do to help a person who is so damaged? How do you build a culture where children aren't judged as worthless and lacking? What practical models are you providing?
Ann T2 year ago
Sorry, Mike; I’m just not buying this excuse. You acknowledge that Trump kicks people when they are down, but, unfortunately, he does it from a bully pulpit where his vicious attacks and lies are heard around the world, and those lies are a direct threat to those officials who absolutely MUST rein him in and show him what reality is. He is “down” because he is finally facing real consequences for a lifetime of lies, and yet he continues to lie and threaten.
You asked how to help a person who is so “damaged.” Well, you don’t reward him with the U.S. presidency, for starters. You don’t make, “Oh, poor little Donnie,” excuses over and over again, leading him to believe he is invincible. You show him that his behavior has real consequences.

I grew up in NJ, USA, so I have seen D. Trump all of my life. He is only about 9 years older than I am. None of his behavior surprises me (or New Yorkers). He was a racist landlord, was financially rescued by his daddy, and when in trouble, he declared bankruptcy. He has never been a friend of the working man, but he pretends to be. If you agreed to wash the windows in his casino for $5,000, when you were done the hard work, he offers you $3,000. You know that you can't sue him for the rest, and that is what he calls The Art of The Deal. But it is not a deal for anyone but him. He is the biggest fake and scoundrel in our country. He's actually very insecure, that is why he is such a bully. I feel sorry for the midwestern farmers and coal miners who were duped by him. We who know him, could have warned you.

As an American, I am gratified by this perfect description of Trump. I can hear Trump's retort now: "Hey, being compared to Shakespeare and Picasso makes me pretty great, doesn't it?" And in a way, he's right. Trump will still be well known, like Nero or Croesus, long after everyone alive today has been forgotten. He doesn't care what you think of him, as long as you think of him.

I am an eighty two year old woman. Most of my life I did not use swear words but every day now I shout the most vile things every time this monster,s image comes up on TV. It was a wonderful relief to finally have someone depict him so fully so accurately. Usually discussing him with friends I end up saying there are no words in the English language adequate to describe this moron, this disgusting pig of a man. Can I add to your most elegant piece : fool, idiot, I am thankful that in my milieu I know of no one who would defend him but I am horrified, nay, terrified that so many Americans would. It boggles the mind. And now all the babble that he could once again be President. We can only hope there are more of us than them. Otherwise we are royally screwed. Meanwhile I have released some of my tensions by expressing myself in poetry, some of it laying this cockroach of a man out in lavender. I am hoping to get some of it to Nate White. Electronically challenged but I will give it a shot. Thanks again for your courage. Peace

Those of us in American that didn't drink the kool-aid and voted him out in 2020 are also dismayed at how many people are still supporting him. There is no doubt that he will destroy the Republican party, even if he doesn't get into office again. The most horrifying thing for me is how many of these crazy, ignorant (lacking in knowledge) people there are in this country. He does say that he loves that his followers are under educated. We Democratx will preservere and continue to work at making the lives of ALL american people better, despite the riptide we are fighting against.

As far as the sniveling sidekick, that is so true. Trump is a coward of epic proportions. I will recount an occurrence that was televised during the Flint, Michigan water cries when Trump was a candidate for president or about to become one. I’m not sure which, but it is immaterial. He came to Flint allegedly to show concern about the serious water crisis. He was at a meeting at a church and instead of addressing the water issue, he started by attacking his opponent Hillary Clinton. The woman pastor stopped him mid sentence to remind him that he was there not to criticize his opponent but to address the water crisis. He immediately fled the room as if being pursued by an angry mob. Donald Trump is a bully and like most bullies a coward. He wasn’t interested in anything but gaining politically and could not handle the mild rebuke. Of course, he wasn't even vaguely interested in the water problem plaguing the area.

Ann T2 year ago
Steve, you are clearly getting your information filtered through the right-wing rubbish sites. Trump has made “better decisions”? Do you mean decisions such as:
1. Giving millionaires huge tax breaks, which did NOT trickle down to the working class, and ended up raising the national debt.
2. Downplaying the Covid crisis to the point where gullible people stopped believing in vaccines and elected to use horse paste instead.
3. Threatening to do away with the Constitution- for his own benefit.
4. Made millions of dollars charging taxpayers for the use of his properties while he played golf on a regular basis.
5. Increased the national debt by 8 trillion dollars in four years.
6. Said he would come up with a new health care plan. Didn’t happen, yet he tried to destroy Obamacare.
7. Constantly promised “Infrastructure Week.” Didn’t happen until Joe Biden got the job done.
8. Pandered to racist groups while mocking groups such as Black Lives Matter.
9. Endless “Executive Time” daily to call in to Fox News, watch TV, and/or tweet insults and lies.
10. Trump’s tariffs? We, the consumers, and businesses paid the price for Trump’s tariffs. They did NOT help the U.S. negotiate better trade agreements.
As bad as those are, Steve, and the many others I could have added to the list, the worst thing he has done - and continues to do, is insist that he won the 2020 election. He has persuaded millions of feeble-minded, uneducated people to send him money, and continues to spread his lies, hatred, insults, and threats to stir up trouble. He LOST. Period. He should be thrown in jail and all access to social media taken away. He is a threat to our country and the freedoms we have taken for granted. He is insane.

Denigrating the soldiers who died in combat? That's only the beginning. Each one of those acts started with a decision -- a stupid, self-centered, reckless decision.

Our identies are so tied into our upbringing. Trump proudly admits he is a malignant narcissist. Her reports that is what makes him so successful. Success is an arbituary word and for him, (if he is correct) his diagnosis informs us that he has no ability to feel empathy for others. It is a medical condition caused by the way he was reared. To be around a narcissist, one walks on egg shells. The group of defendants that will be prosecuted are describing working with him as such. In other words, he can not help it. But we can choose to have him running our lives or not. Those that feel inadequate often gravitate to narcissists like Trump, doing so in the hopes to reshape their idenity to match his or others like him.

As a child, I loved the 90s film remake of ‘The Little Rascals.’ Trump had a cameo; he was the pompous, bratty little rich kid’s dad. He has one line, “you’re the best son money could buy,” or something like that. I couldn’t stand him after that.
As we know, cameos are a reflection of that person and this cameo is a great example. You could say the same for any of his other “acting” appearances. All he cares about are appearances and popularity and wealth and this is wholly evident in the way he presents himself and the way he approaches his “fans.” Because that’s what they are. Fans. With ALL the merch.
I hope to god someone comes to the surface and unites our country again. These are dark times, man.

You know the Brits, they are wrong about everything. They thought Chamberlin made a great deal with Hitler (you know all the proper etiquette and bullshit). They had their own Trump as I recall, Sir Winston Churchill. They hated him until they needed him. Once he saved their bloody asses, the blokes booted him. I would tell the Brits to go “pound” it up their ass, but the last I looked it is now worth a pittance and most of them would enjoy it.
If the nit wit Brits need some queenies to admire, we can send them all they need. As for being a significant minority, think again, we are the MAJORITY and the lying cheating, scumbag, liberal, socialists will pay the price for disrespecting this great country.

As a citizen of the USA who did not -- and will not, ever, for any office -- vote for Donald Trump, I'd like to add my two cents' (tuppence?) worth. I agree with Mr White's assessment, especially about Trump's lack of humour. The best comment I've read on humourless people came from a novel by Jack Whyte , "The Eagle." It's final novel of a series on the Arthurian legends called "The Camulod Chronicles." In this book, Clothar of Benwick -- Whyte's take on Lancelot -- has this to say:
"A man who cannot laugh at himself can never see the humor in anyone or anything else, and that is a tragic flaw, no matter who or what it may involve. For in the lack of humor lie all the seeds of evil and destruction. People who see themselves as worthy of admiration, and who cannot conceive of themselves as ever being a cause for laughter, are too serious for their own good, and even worse, they generally believe they have a calling to impress the acceptance of their beliefs on others. God save all from humorless men, for they are also merciless and implacable."

I like this, I do, and I've read it before. But, it speaks too well of Britain because it speaks too well of Britons, who have been our partners in literal crime, crimes they taught us (America) how to commit, since 1785 (and before The Revolution) — those parts about David and bullies and compassion ring so hollow they may have come from Trump's empty heart & head were they not directed at him.

Whilst not at all disagreeing with the description of the fat, orange anus, the article paints us British in rather too generous - and uniform - a light.
In recent years, the UK has voted for both Brexit and Bozo Johnson. Both in the same ball park as voting for the guy who sprays himself orange.
Or rather, a *proportion* of the UK voted for those things. And that's important, because it shows just how deeply divided the UK is. Many of the Brexit/Bozo-supporting camp love the fat, orange anus.

“And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.“

I agree totally with this article, but Trump does make jokes - but only after he has made a really stupid statement about a serious subject, which shows his ignorance to the world - and then, he is “just joking.” And don’t forget, he separated innocent children from their parents as a matter of policy like never done before or since in our history by a president. Evil, and the world knows it. I know, Obama did it sometimes, but mostly to protect the child from a bad parent/adult. Even prisoners, who are incarcerated, usually know where their kids are and can sometimes have visits, which is not the same as desperate people who are seeking a better life for their children and then were torn apart. I could add more to the list, too.

Ticks all the boxes: whataboutery, blaming elites (is the guy with the gold toilet not an elite?), whining about people flaunting their moral superiority. What these people are unwilling to admit, even to themselves is that Trump doesn’t care one jot for his country or anyone else. Every one of his failed policy decisions was based on profiting the rich and the corporations. Biden & Co may not be perfect, they’re a centre right party after all, but they’re not sociopaths with laundry lists of character flaws.
Independent and real2 year ago
Dear Mr Independent, the unfortunate thing here is that you point out that Trump’s policies are the key to understanding his value, and to appreciate him one needs to actually understand these policies. Unfortunately almost no one in the US reads behind the politicians’ talking points.
So here’s a quick list of Trump’s policies:
Repeal Obamacare (failed, but did limit it some; coronavirus policies and management (ingest bleach, UV light, demonize Fauci, etc – a total mess); fund Christian (religious) schools by diverting money from public schools (failed, but did serve to polarize the population and ignore the separation of church and state); reduced regulations for offshore drilling (succeeded with obvious environmental liabilities); reduced methane emissions regulations (green house gas), even oil companies such as BP and Shell publicly spoke out against these regs (BTW, are you hot enough this summer?); 2018 effort to reign in Dept of Defence discretionary $$ (succeeded, good policy); $1.5 trillion tax cuts (neither side really liked this, but it got through and became a “sugar high” economically with little lasting value to the average American (but lots of value to the wealthy - once your portfolio goes up 50% you can continue to grow that money!); Vehicle emissions represent the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the US. Trump reduced the 5% improvement requirement on auto companies to 1.5% ( Go, Donald! BTW, who is a winner here?); Build the Wall (I’ll leave it to you to guess what happened); Blocked Huawei & ZTE from doing meaningful business with the government and most US companies followed (success!), Subsidies to farmers were the highest in 40 years as a result of tariffs imposed by other countries against the US, as a result of tariffs against China (was this a “win”, well, farmers are part of his base); reducing the effect of Dodd-Frank (with more large bank mergers following and much less transparancy); exited or attempted to eviscerate the North American Trade Agreement, NAFTA, NATO, World Trade Organization – all with no recognizable gains and identifiable losses. But, he did meet with his friends in N Korea and Russia – which represent terrible visuals to us here in the US and the peaceful world.
The article above is a very good, sad commentary on a bully who has no regard for anyone but himself and growing his personal wealth Jared/Saudi fund management deal – you’ve got to be kidding). Eighteen of Trumps cohorts from his administration were indicted, some while he was in office and the rest within a year or so. The current lawsuits to chase down Trump and his sidekicks will leave dozens more in prison or barred from office, including him, I hope. The fact that this is unprecedented is no consolation. The fact that we had a bully-leader who would step on even his own inner circle, that many people still voted for, shows that there are a lot of disenfranchised people in America and that social media is a great manipulator, and we suffer from it. Fascism is not the answer, it is a scab festering on a sick Republican party. Trump fits that definition perfectly. Look it up.
Joel Robins2 year ago
Trump has more of a record of “accomplishment” in office than Biden?
I would pay a lot of money to sit down with that 51 percent of respondents and ask them to tell me five things Trump accomplished in office. I’d even spot them the first four: a tax cut; the appointment of three SCOTUS judges; the killing of Qasem Soleimani; Operation Warp Speed.
Meanwhile, whatever you think about voting for Biden for another term, just on the basis of balls and strikes, this has been one of the more successful first terms most of us have lived through:
Beating COVID
American Rescue Plan
Bipartisan gun reform
Bipartisan infrastructure
Inflation Reduction Act
CHIPs
Killing of Ayman al-Zawahiri
Managing the allied support of the war in Ukraine
As for being mentally up for the presidency, again, I understand people who have doubts about Joe Biden. Fair enough.
But they think Trump is up to the job, mentally?

Having just read this again from a recent article.....the writing is still a perfect summary of what my father and many other father's of my age group shared to help us build our charecter and be successful in whatever direction our lives took. I have 61 years of life experience, I was raised by parents who were children of the great depression, one of 7 children blessed to be born to them. My parents taught us all what it was to have good character, humility, graciousness, and understanding as a backbone to our development as people. My father did not put up with any behaviors that would impact our potential in life and made sure we learned from mistakes and reset ourselves to move forward. I can only imagine the person written about either rejected the teachings from his parents or his parents did not believe he could be taught or learn from mistakes and be better.

As I emerge from underneath my duvet, I’m oddly relieved someone has described TFG so intricately accurate. As you British full well understand, the real measure of a person is not know until evidence has seen the sunlight. But, the one general trait and fault is our lack of education and critical thinking skills; which indicts educational institutions in the US acting as profit making clubs for the wealthy and connected. Now, surely, you can relate to that. If we are fortunate enough to see TFG in jail for his crimes, it will not be because he doesn’t have a sense of humor. But you may have a point. If we had a law against people with No Sense of Humor, we could do away with many bad actors…even from Britain, South Africa, America….

The comment area, surprisingly or unsurprisingly, is infested with self claimed “elite”s festival of false moral superiority and phony sophistications. Yes, Trump is all what the author described and in fact, many American people see these Trump’s moral and intellectual failures too (we are not that stupid). Yet, many people chose him over Hillary Clinton, and then Biden. Why? The truth is in people’s eyes, the Clinton’s, the Biden’s, the Bush’s, in general, career politicians, are no different than Thump beneath their careful and beautiful wrapping. Among self-serving and corrupted politicians, people choose to stand with Trump’s policies. Discussing Trump without deep analysis of his policy and broader American political landscape, players and the last 40 years of American history is intellectual laziness, a blind sight. Until then, the hypocrite “elite” will truly understand and respect 74+ MM American people, their choices, their rights and stop name calling/bully their fellow Americans.

Obviously our electoral system needs adjustment as the popular vote did not elect this fraction of a person to represent we the people. To all eligible Americans: VOTE, WRITE TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES, RAISE YOUR VOICE.

This is the best writing I have read in decades. It is eloquently written with no semblance of sarcasm. Just a spot on accurate description of a deeply flawed human. It is a beautiful piece describing what Trump truly is. We Colonists, on the other hand, simply and crudely label Trump literally what he is - human garbage.

Embarrassed American, here. I’m so EFFING sorry. We have allowed our democracy to be compromised by deficient education. The truly stupid are primed with resentment and fear, and are voting.

Scott - you break my heart. Millions of good people in this country have been radicalized & are now obsessed with “Cabals” & “Deep State Conspiracies”. Don’t get me wrong… I’ve been looking at government corruption & abuse of power, for my whole 68 years. But, for all its flaws & failings; American Democracy is the best concept on our planet - & still worth striving for.
Ironically, DOJ & FBI, etc. are probably more transparent and less corrupt than they’ve been in our entire history. Do you really believe that half of our population wants to turn our kids into abortion-loving drag queens, who (because they’re so guilty about being white) insist on mask mandates? …OK, i’m joking; but when you stand back for a second & look at some of these fears - that’s how ridiculous they are. Telling the people that “They” are corrupting your children & “They” want to take away your rights & everything you hold dear
& “They” are looking down on & laughing at you, while stealing from you - are all tried and true fascist tropes (used very successfully by the likes of Hitler, Mussolini, Putin, etc).
I don’t ‘hate’ Trump. It’s not ‘name-calling’ to acknowledge that the man is a malignant narcissist & a sociopath. He’s been a very public figure for 50 years & there are literally thousands of examples (on film and in print) of his consistent behavior. Although he’s gotten worse, over the years; he’s always been the same guy.
To mistake him for a guy who is ‘fighting for you’ or someone who cares about anyone, is a deadly mistake.
Finally… Which is more likely? Tens of thousands of evil people, who are on the same page (in a deep-state cabal); are dedicated to destroying this great patriot. OR: A lifetime con-man & career criminal (who has left a trail of destroyed businesses & lives in his wake) is finally being brought to justice (with mountains of verifiable evidence). Reality doesn’t care about what we want to think.

Bullseye 🎯!! There's so much more to add to this very accurate article. He's master of lying & cheating. He paid $750 for income taxes 2 years in a Roth, & NOTHING at all, the remaining years. He's a self proclaimed billionaire because he doesn't pay what he owes & had his cult followers pay for everything. He is a murderer. COVID lies (a hoax, bleach internally, take Hydroxychloroquine, which caused MORE death. Not to mention the tardiness of admitting COVID was real). His naked, centerfold wife, clearly stated 'she didn't really care' at a place children were imprisoned & in desperate need of healthcare. Trump states ok to grab women at the pu**y. He paid off prostitutes for their silence & also sexually offended & raped others. He took down 44 -Obama portrait in Whitehouse , unbelievable. He remodeled the Whitehouse & it changed everything the previous administrations had all shared & admired, like the rose garden. Trump truly sickens me!

As someone who grew up near New York City in the 70s/80s, when the original unscripted real-life Donald Trump reality show was running on the local news and in newspapers (affairs, shabby business deals, shameless and embarrassing self-promotion) it seemed utterly baffling how that buffoon came to office. I imagine the feelings that Superman might have, returning to Metropolis to discover that Lex Luthor had been elected mayor. ("But, but, last year he tried to turn you all into bipedal opossums! What were you THINKING?" "Yeah, but he's going to clean up the subways!")
Because of the archaic and increasingly inequitable Electoral College system, Trump was elected with a minority of the popular vote, and never had a majority of popular approval. The latest polls shows 53% will absolutely not vote for him again, and 11% "probably wouldn't" vote for him.
So, take hope. Even if this pompous loon doesn't end up in prison, he will be nothing but a sore loser after 2024, resented by the GOP party establishment and mocked soundly by everyone but a shrinking, aging, increasingly daft minority.
John Derek2 year ago
Oh Scott, I wish I could buy you a beer and we could have a chat together. The first two parts of your philosophy about why people say negative things (threat, jealousy or follow the crowd) are perhaps Trump's, but certainly not most people's, especially when they are watching from a great distance. Most of us know we are flawed and don't like to criticise others, but when we see someone so far beneath our values who has dragged a whole society into the swamp, we know we are justified.
I know I'll enjoy our drink together, because I agree totally with your diagnosis of the problem. So would Bernie Sanders!
We do need to wake up to the plan that will strip us of our wealth and human rights so a handful of autocratic, oligarchic, psychopaths can keep us under their thumb while they take most of the world's resources for themselves. But follow the money. Those people are backing Trump and the republicans, funding the Federalist Society, supporting racism and child labor and everything that makes us working folks insecure.
Trump is actually one of them, but he's an artful broadcaster who has fooled millions into thinking he's what he says he is. He's the classic wolf in sheep's clothing. Everything he says is aimed at getting him more money and power, and when that happens, he does it even more, all for his own benefit. He didn't help ordinary Americans, he played on their insecurities, as he made autocrats like him (Kim Jong Un, Putin, Crown Prince, etc.) - ones who are repressing and killing their people - even stronger. He ran up the debt of working Americans by giving tax cuts to the rich as he spent more. He gave $ billions to those psychopaths who want to keep us under their thumb. Now they are investing a few percent of that back into their power grab, dismantling the mechanisms of US democracy bit by bit, using their paid-for judges and representatives.

The most embarrassing example of an entitled nouveau riche bully in this American society. I have “followed” Trump all of my life as I grew up in the NYC area. He has been an unhinged joke the entire time and a laughing-stock. He became politically popular when he started the Obama birther movement…his support coalesced when he championed a nationwide racist meme against our first African American president which speaks volumes about our befuddled modern society. Fully 1/3 of our country has no sense of humor, no logic, and worst of all, no ability to think critically. Tragic.
Scott2 year ago
Well I was always told news paper articles are geared for and written at a grade six level but I must confess this one hasn't made it past the first grade . It's nothing but name calling and "Karen complaints".
Generally speaking people will say negative things about a person because of 3 specific reasons they feel threatened by them, they are jealous of them or monkey see monkey do and blindly follow the crowd. Trump was the best President the USA has had in a long time. The reason for that is the same reason he is hated. He ran the country for the benefit of the American people not himself first and foremost, he wasn't a puppet for the Cabal. Not hard to see why the British look down their noses at him the Cabal has its banking and media command centre in London City. I can just imagine all the propaganda filth promoted through the global media suppliers based in the UK. Don't be fooled people this is just another hit shot at Trump because Trump is desperately trying to wake you brainwashed people up to the plan that will strip you of everything you own and all your human rights so a handful of psychopaths can keep you under their thumb and in the dark while they rob you. So try using your head for more than displaying your hairdo today. Cheerio...!!

Scott, you are seriously delusional if you think Trump ran the country to benefit the country and not himself. Who do you think those big tax breaks for the wealthy were for? Hint: The answer is in the question. And when he tried to get rid of the very popular and much-needed Obamacare, even when his multiple promises of a replacement NEVER materialized, he only did it because he hates Obama. Petty, vindictive, childish. And I won’t bother to list the daily insults that he texted during his hours-long “Executive Time” during the day. Very presidential, right, Scott?
He tried to destroy our Constitution!! His tenure in the White House seriously divided Americans, and the stench of his presidency will continue to fester for years to come. And he still continues to try and pretend that he won, so that the uneducated will continue to send the so-called billionaire their money. Shameless.

Thank you Nate, this is very well formulated and very entertaining but true too. Trump is literally the biggest asshole of our time. He has no moral, no decency, but a lot of egoism and hate. He is lying and manipulating contantly his whole life because he is lacking empathy and shame. He rather sacrifice a whole country then to admit that he lose. Truth, integrity or sanity never matter to him. He's obviously mentally ill, what makes it simply impossible for him to be a good person. But this is ok, the problem is that so much americans want to have such a notorious bad person in power and want to be represented by him.

Interesting article, as Brit I actually quite like Trump. Chatting to friends at pub many feel the same way and like his candor and sense of humour. It is clear Trump is more pro UK than Biden. Yes he is a loudmouth like all New Yorkers but other than that the hatred against him by the US and UK left seems unhinged. It is noticeable that is the same group in UK (lefty Londoners) who hate Trump and control the media but they are not reflective on normal UK people. Trumps policies always poll extremely well but in UK and US. One can't help but feel Trump threatens the political establishment and their media lackeys and that's whey they are doing all they can to undermine him, fake lawsuits, fake accusations (Russia) and the like. At least with Trump we can hear what he says and he is authentic. With Biden the media seem to be protecting him even to the stage of not reporting his potential corruption. Are Americans not worried who is actually "managing" Biden?

I am having a hard time understanding your note. You say his policies always poll extremely well but in UK and US. So what particular polls have his policies polled well? Got a list?
We have no fake lawsuits, the justice system wont allow that.

He has been caught in many lies, so what makes him authentic?

Janice, you say you like his “candor and sense of humor.” WHAT candor? WHAT sense of humor? His well-documented lies number well into the tens of thousands. His sense of humor runs to disparaging and mocking others. Hilarious, right? NO, it certainly is NOT funny at all. It’s childish and cruel, and would only get a laugh from his disgusting crew of ass-kissing idiots who are hoping they will get rewarded at some point in time by the orange pig. They will find out just how “authentic” Trump is when they expect to be rewarded for their devotion.
No, I am not worried about Biden at all, although his son sounds like a jerk. Biden has done a decent job while in office, although I wish he would let someone younger take his place in the next election. The Republicans who are constantly throwing useless investigations at him are failing to do their job for the American people. They’ve been through it over and over, while accomplishing nothing. That seems to be their entire platform for the Republicans these days.
I believe if you care to read more about the Russia “fake accusations,” you will be surprised to find there are updates that may surprise you.

He then lied about losing the election, and attempted an insurrection. And is now currently facing 90+ indictments.

The part that rational, functional people sometimes miss about Trump is that his grotesque, repulsive behavior is seen as giving permission to some of the worst in American society.

The legacy of Trump will be the destruction of basic civility, and possibly, American democracy.

Dee, there are Republicans in Congress who deny that the Holocaust ever happened. Hard to believe, isn’t it? It is truly unnerving to hear Trump’s Wish List of how he would install himself permanently in the Oval Office, and give himself outrageous control of Congress. The white bigots who vote for this festering 💩 of a man are too dumb and/or uneducated to realize that he has done nothing to help them, other than allow them to believe their racist, homophobic, and female-suppressing views are normal.

His published discussion of the Central Park Five was shocking and terrifying. Trump is an example of what happens when you take all of the lowest forms of behavior demonstrated by humans and jam them into a single, hideous container. As others have said, he's so embarrassing that most of us can't imagine being in the same room with him, let alone voting for him.

This is the prefect synopsis of how I see this guy, who's been at the edge of my awareness for decades: the overt racist businessman in the news when I was growing up in Central New Jersey, the evil developer who was ripping off local mom-and-pop building contractors in Atlantic City when I lived in South Jersey. The blatant liar calling out President Obama over invented nonsense, just to get back at Obama's jibes at a press dinner some years prior.

This isn’t hateful at all! You miss the point entirely, and kinda confirm the hypotheses, if you think that a single writer can possibly bully Trump. Trump punches down, this writer is punching - such as it is - a long way up. From powerlessness to power, not from power to the powerless.
And if one article makes you want to vote for him, you were voting for him anyway. The pretense is laughable

Bob - you say “judge the man for his actions” - that’s exactly what is being done. That you can’t see that says more about you than the writer (or the Orange buffoon). You don’t have to dig much to find out how he has behaved his entire life.

Dearest bob, from what college did you graduate?
You must understand that I was not afforded a college education. However, I now have considerable sway over others that will be able to do so. I would prefer they avoid a school that does not even teach them the correct spelling of the word college (Though they should have learned that many years prior. Obviously, quite obviously, our public education system is appallingly bad).
I find it quite unfortunate that a college educated man, like yourself, becomes so emotionally distraught over an honest (One of the best I read actually, and I read quite a lot.) description of a prior public servant. A creature that has been working vigilantly for decades to prove this writer's point.

Seriously, Bob?? You asked, “What is happening in this world where people feel that it’s OK to be nasty and that character assassinations are acceptable and cheered.“ Where have you been for the past few years? Is there anyone more nasty and rude than Donald Trump? If there are people who think that’s ok, it is because Trump gets away with it on a daily basis. You do realize that Trump is actively threatening judges, jury members, innocent poll workers, and other victims of his unhinged social media rants, and that he has been repeatedly warned to stop?
If reading the truth about Trump actually makes you want to vote for him, that’s a very sad commentary on today’s society being so easily brainwashed.

Felix, what is so disturbing to me is that these Deplorables are so happy to have someone such as Trump express their distaste for the poor, for the immigrants, for gays and for people of color. Trump was quoted as saying he loves the uneducated, and these people are too dense to realize WHY he loves the uneducated. They have NO CLUE that Trump will gladly beg for - and accept - their cash donations, but will NEVER do a damned thing for them. Did they think the huge tax breaks for the rich would trickle down to them? All they have to do is dress up like total idiots and applaud Trump’s every movie, and as an added gift to Trump, they will flood the forums with fake information that has no basis in fact.
Trump should be rotting in jail.

Ignatz Laripu2 year ago
Donald Trump is a successful conman. Like all conmen, to be successful he must understand his marks, know what they want and promise what they want. He must be smarter than they are.
His marks are often some combination of religious, xenophobic, and racist. They are anti-government because they are somewhat dim, and therefore have difficulty navigating government bureaucracy. His promises fit well with their desires. That got him elected in 2016.
He is smarter than his marks, but not nearly as smart as most of the people in the political and legal class in which he must operate. This gets him disrespect, and that disrespect engenders his resentment of intelligence. He claims to have it, but understands it not at all
He is also a sociopath, and therefore considers himself above everyone and everything else. He considers himself above the law. That may result in his conviction.
But to other con artists, he has shown that a net works better than a rod, reel, and hook, and is more profitable. They will continue to fish in those waters, the great sea of halfwits, racists, and fools for religion.
American politics has become like an internet scam for penis enlargement.

Tommy, this OPINION piece is about Donald Trump. Period. It’s been posted online for at least four years now. It is not about “uncontrolled immigration or a failing civil service.” I’m sure you could find that easily on another site, but that’s clearly not what this article is about, and I doubt if you’d find as many comments on those subjects. The comments here are well into the thousands.
The “TDS,” as you call it, is the frustration of the majority of Americans who are sick to death of this mind-numbingly stupid, egomaniacal, lying, grifting, cheating, indicted, insane loser who refuses to believe that he lost the election. We can’t pick up a newspaper, log in to news sites, or watch the news on TV without seeing that fat, orange blob ranting insanely with his bull****. We long for the day when the prison doors slam shut on his miserable life.
How anyone could believe a word of anything he says is beyond the comprehension of those of us who are sane and have actual critical thinking skills.
Tommy2 year ago
Firstly, Mr. White does not speak for all British people. Secondly, I believe that TDS is still alive and well, it must be as President Trump is clearly living rent free in this so called journalists mind. Lastly as you are British how about focusing on matters that impact the lives of British people like oh say, uncontrolled immigration or a failing civil service. The article is nothing but school yard mud slinging at best and girl’s bathroom antics at best. Be a journalist - or at least what used to qualify for journalism, and stop with the need for social admiration through the denigration of others - you are not a politician.

Stephen2 year ago
I agree with everything you said, but you are also describing the greatest general in WWII: George Patton Trump is not a politician by any means, he is a construction owner who has to deal with the rough and tough union in the USA. He has went bankrupt twice and has bounced back both times. People like me, don't appreciate his lack of political showmanship like the charlatan before him. He most likely is guilty of dubious shenanigans in many areas. If he had just kept his mouth shut, he would have been a much better president. His policies created the lowest unemployment rate for both Hispanics and African Americans. His corporate tax break allowed major corporations to parlay that windfall into multi-billion expansions across the country. Yet, he kept patting himself on the back and Americans do not like that. Please do not throw Obama out there as some kind of presidential benchmark: He is anything but that. If you only know what the media tells you, then you know very little about him. Harry Reed convinced him to run for president since GW Bush was such a weak leader. Hilary always came to Obama's needs when raising campaign funds. It was her turn to run for president, but there is no honor in American politics anymore...the next election is always more important than the next generation. Middle America would love to see a true statesman run for the POTUS. We are on a gradual slope of internal decline. We have become a nation of complainers and whiners...the squeaky wheel always get the most attention (grease). Trump was a public relations disaster but his policies worked. He is everything you said and maybe more.

Stephan, the Sienna College Research Institute publishes a ranking of U.S. Presidents, which is a sweeping survey of historians, political scientists, and presidential scholars. The rankings are compiled with data from 20 categories, ranging from integrity to executive ability. (I’m not sure how this site views links, so I will say that this information is easily found with a Google search of “Presidential Rankings.”
Donald Trump is ranked in the bottom three. His lies, gross exaggerations, and misinformation were numbered in the tens of thousands. He said he was going to “drain the swamp,” yet appointed only his “yes” men and women, many who ended up in legal trouble themselves. He took documents that he had no right to take, then lied about having them. He tried to steal an election by using fake electors, and encouraging the disaster of January 6th, where he gleefully watched the carnage for hours on TV before lamely trying to call off his dogs. He wanted to rip up the Constitution of the United States because he failed to steal the election. His dealings with Putin are highly suspect. His attempts to downplay Covid 19 led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. His lies about a “stolen election” continue to disrupt our country, in spite of the complete lack of evidence to support any of his blatherings.
Barack Obama, on the other hand, whom you appear to dislike, was ranked #11 in the survey, with “Obamacare” being his major accomplishment, which gave millions of Americans - myself included - affordable healthcare. Trump used his hatred for the popular Obama to try and do away with the ACA, WITHOUT HAVING ANOTHER PLAN IN PLACE! Only John McCain’s vote saved it. Yes, we CAN use the popular Obama as a presidential benchmark. Did you ever hear a hint of scandal involving Obama or the people who worked for him? I’m not sure where you have gotten all your negativity regarding Obama, but I suggest you look at reliable sources. Obama inherited a mess from Bush, and turned it around. He was/is intelligent and well-spoken, unlike Trump, who is neither.

For me it was the other way around. I got the description of AMLO written by Nate White in Spanish and while looking for the English version I stumbled into this description of Donald Trump.
Brian Nienhaus2 year ago
This is strange. My wife, from Mexico City but living in the US now, read a social media post from one of her Mexican relatives. It had copied an article about Manuel Lopez Obrador (Amlo for short), the president of Mexico. It was written by an English journalist named Nate White. I'd not heard of Mr. White before and was puzzled by all the strong opinions he was sharing about the Mexican president, so I googled him and found this article. Someone in Mexico just translated it and changed the names. Trump was now Amlo.
I said to my wife that the incident told me much more about the opponents of Amlo than about Amlo himself.
As for me, I propose we have an international competition, with each of us inserting our preferred substitute name for Trump in it. Perhaps the London Daily would offer a reward for the winning entry.

The “out” is unnecessary, as was your warning “no pun intended.” A pun is a product of wit, of which you have not an atom. You damn Trump with faint praise, like “while not having the greatest character in the world”, when that was what the article you’re attempting to critique was about. Character matters! Especially when you’re supposed to be “holding the candle of liberty in your hands for the benefit of all” in your tortured phrasing. You have made the inexplicable decision that Donald Trump, the semi - literate, vulgar, racist, humorless, lying, assaulter of woman is ‘your kind of guy’, and you and all the other MAGA Trumpers will stand by him ‘till the end, no matter what he says or does. The very worst thing my father could say about a man, was that he was a fool. You, sir, are a fool.

Your sheer ignorance is astounding, not only with your assessment of the British people and their government, (please explain why they are “not free citizens”), but of your absolute blindness to Trump’s Reign of Error. Trump gave huge tax cuts to the rich. HE TRIED TO STEAL AN ELECTION, and is STILL denying he lost. He tried to seize voting machines. He tried to use fake state electors. He gleefully watched Capitol police being beaten and his thug mob storming the symbol of our democracy, which he tried to steal! There is NO PROOF of any cheating when it comes to Trump’s loss. NONE, in spite of what Mike Pillowhead or Trump Or Guiliani or those right wingnuts are trying to sell you with the conspiracy lies. Trump is making money from gullible fools who are probably spending their last dollars on those absolutely absurd digital coins that Trump is claiming are his life! I don’t see any of those coins depicting a fat failing business with three failed marriages and countless failed businesses and troweled-on orange pancake makeup and a terrible comb-over.
Those big tax cuts he gave to the rich? They didn’t trickle down to folks like my family.
You want to talk about gerrymandering? Check out states like Ohio, which is so ridiculously gerrymandered that damn fools like Jim Jordan keep getting elected, and the Republicans at the state level are allowing this to happen! The Republicans are doing everything in their power to take away the votes from those who would vote against them. They are making it nearly impossible for the poor to vote.
Turn off FOX News, Breitbart, Bannon, Alex Jones, and other lying fools who shovel the shyte daily into your willing hands. Don the Con will never be elected again. I shake my head at the blind stupidity of people who actually believe that he is a good man who cares about them.

Mr Zan, how can the country prove your ASSumptions are inaccurate and destructive? The ONLY VOTER SUPPRESSION IS BEING DONE BY GERRYMANDERING AND SO RESTRICTIVE VOTER LAWS BY THE REPUBLICANS! It’s so sad, in such a divisive climate that we can’t accept that he was a mistake, and only helped build the coffers of the Uber wealthy…and not even all of them support him. We need to see that he almost destroyed the institution of our democracy. Even the republicans are walking away. Anyone who promotes violence, supports violent organizations, (“good people on both sides” about torch carrying antisemites, chanting, “Jews will not replace us…”) and has blind followers are suffering from Cognitive Dissonance. Trump is losing ground and even lemmings sometimes stop and turn away. Be well and hopefully find clarity. Start loving ALL your neighbors and not follow self-indulgent hateful people.

Dear Nate:
You have rendered the ultimate, acidulous, deservedly eviscerating polemic I have ever read, worthy no less of our Brit. predecessor Jonathan Swift! My thanks to you is unrenderable in language, where I have some facility. I will save and print this piece as the museum-quality work of art it is. And as well, there is nothing so delicious to me as seeing a bully "get it in the nuts"! UP THE BRITS!!!!!!!!! And thank you again. Iffin' you don't know, there is a book called "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" by 37 - psychiatrists (with Noam Chomsky thrown in.) I think you have outdone them all. Gloria in excelsis to you.

Bravo Camille! Bravo Janet Amos! Bravo Bill Haber! You have validated my point made in my March ‘22 letter to Congresswoman Cheney in which I predicted that if and when a Trump-like sociopath should emerge from our side on the left, that the condemnation would be swift and voluminous FROM US - and that, unlike the accommodating silence from the Portmans and the Grassleys, which reenforces criminality, making her a lone voice for decency, earning her the opprobrium of her cowardly cohorts, that we would stand firm and united against corruption in our own ranks, and I told Ms. Cheney in that letter that the Republican Party could never hope to appeal to moral rectitude until that day when it declares without ambiguity that Trump and Trumpism are unwelcome in their midst.

That "significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans" who approve of Trump are the portion described best by H. L. Mencken. "As for the great masses of the common people, whose rectitude and acumen are so widely lauded, they may be divided into two classes: those to whom thinking is painful, and those to whom it is impossible."

If only the American press would write with this degree of eloquent accuracy in the evaluation of Trump. As shocking as it is that some Americans are brainwashed, take heart that at least half of us are fighting the good fight. I have faith that we will regain your respect.

A spot on written portrait of the man who harvests the disgust of every living specimen with common sense, and at the same time the cheer of the Neanderthal part of the brain who rallies rudely through life with a bulldozering truck, and a provoking Trump flag, (while his hero in reality dislikes this working paycheck guy as much as the germs he washes from his hands). The Trump phenomenon and his harmful effect on the American society will remain haunting our lives for quite a while. Apart from the political impact there’s a divide that resulted in broken family ties, it ruined friendship, it made people feeling lost and isolated no longer welcome in their social circles where Trump planted his fan-a-tism demonstrated by hate talk, name calling and applause for bullying. The man leaves a track of not only economical damage caused by his bankruptcies and hit-and-run business dealings, a hatred-driven political culture and inspires the ill minded who will keep on working on revenges for his loss while in reality he is the only one to blame for his abuse of the American Dream.
Bill Haber2 year ago
If, as an American, I could apologize to the world for the role I have played in elevating this ninkompoop to the status of President, I surely would. He is nothing short of a total embarrassment. However, many of us had nothing to do with this, have known him as a charlatan and a laughable silver spoon celebrity for decades and never took him seriously. While we were looking the other way, he figured out how to seduce those who never had a hand in the game and bring them out of their holes en masse. His ascension was shocking and his diabolical plan was worse. We will be digging ourselves out of it for years. He had to come along to challenge us to scrutinize our values, our national identity, and what is important going forward. We cannot be united until we all agree on fair play, rule of law and democracy. I for one think yesterdays election was a step beyond Trumpism and a path out of the chaos. Biden’s speech made a great analogy about how we would perceive this happening in the UK. Watch us rebound, as we do.

If anyone is responsible for the division in the U.S. it is Donald Trump. His lies are frankly so ridiculous that most people wonder where he got them. His basic problem is his ego. He thinks the world revolves around him. Every decision he makes reflects that. He cannot accept the results of the American election because he cannot accept that he would be rejected. He was president for four years with only a Obama economy to thank.

That’s absurd! Putin has had Trump in his pocket for years. Remember the private meetings between Putin and Trump in Helsinki? No interpreter for Trump? What went on in there, and with the discovery of Top Secret documents that Trump illegally removed from the White House, what was he going to do with those documents?
It should not surprise or shock anyone that Trump stole Top Secret papers and took them to his residence. Each of his flimsy excuses for taking them are not valid, which leads us to the very critical-to-National-security question … what did he plan to do with them? Sell them? Meanwhile, he continues to beg his “I love the uneducated” supporters for money to pay his legal expenses!! Just how dumb are these people who still support him? He lies

Brilliant article for not once mentioning his 3 clinical diagnoses - malignant narcissist, psychopath, and sociopath - which are largely ignored by the US media. US psychiatrists are prevented from speaking about these obvious and dangerous diagnoses. They can not publicly talk about them because of the so-called "Goldwater Rule", which is actually not a "Rule" at all, but rather an excuse to not talk about the reality and truth that is destroying democracy in the US. And the article doesn't even mention the corruption and criminal behavior of this desperately sick person who has managed to bring 30% of the US population and and 75,000,000 US voters into his delusional cult.

These J6 hearings are a real eye opener. It’s no shock to see that Trump has lied constantly about losing the election, but to see the extent he was willing to lie and threaten to try and illegally overturn the election is a new low for him. People have been threatened and terrorized; their homes and families have been terrorized, as Trump and Fool-iani name names and give out personal information of innocent people simply doing their job, all because Trump’s fragile ego couldn’t handle the fact that he had lost.
For all that I have disagreed with Adam Kinsinger over the past few years, he has stepped up big time and has bravely endured the terrible threats to himself, his wife, and his infant child. What kind of people does Trump have as followers? The threat was published and was clearly written by a violent, insane person. You know …. the kind of person that the Republicans think should be allowed to have assault rifles.

Trump has noted that his hold on his loyalists is nearly absolute - that he could commit murder in broad daylight on the streets of New York and suffer no defections. Events have borne this out. The Trump cult is practically indistinguishable from the Hitler cult, with both being supported by a wide-spread, lavishly financed propaganda apparatus. Trump’s Naziism is at one with Hitler’s.

Truer words were never spoken. I would also venture to say that Biden is hardly to blame for the war in Ukraine--if blame has to be cast westward, Nato has thirty member states and more on the way.
And if I recall correctly, Neville Chamberlin got things done, too; he did a dandy job of preserving "Peace in Our Time", at least for a whole 336 days. People who are complicit with dictators belong in another age; hereditary privilege is questionable enough, but few things are more disgusting than self-proclaimed royalty. At least Napoleon had discernable talents! I fear, though, there may be a sufficiency of idiots to elect Agent Orange again, now that those who remember Hitler have moved on.

The 2020 Presidential Election is not the first one Trump tried to subvert. He did the same thing in the wake of the 2012 election, which outcome displeased him. In that election, he did not claim voter fraud, but candidate malfeasance, claiming to have uncovered plausible evidence that the winner was foreign born and thus ineligible to serve. So far as I know, Mr Trump has never shared this evidence with anyone. But I may be wrong.
Ann T3 year ago
No, Felix, he couldn’t share the “evidence” because he didn’t have any. He finally conceded that Obama was born in the USA, but Trump waited until September 2016 to admit it. Lies, lies, and more lies.
His delusional claim that he won the 2020 election “by a landslide” is a thousand times more toxic, as it is dividing our country. Just like the Obama claim, he has absolutely NOTHING to back it up, just his huge ego that refuses to believe that he lost. Unfortunately, he continues to profit on his lies, as Trump’s uneducated fan base continues to throw their money at him. Lots and lots of money.
How ANYONE could continue to support this monster is beyond me. Clearly his base has no clue as to how serious his actions and inaction regarding the January 6th freak show reveals how close we came to losing our democracy. Trump was ready to have the military seize the voting machines in a pathetic attempt to declare himself the winner. The list of Republican cohorts in this illegal and unconstitutional act continues to grow, as more and more evidence is given. And in spite of all the evidence against Trump, his brainless base will simply shrug it off as “fake news,” just as Trump has programmed them to do. All the cons, all the lies, all the cheating, all the greed …. they refuse to admit that Trump is anything but their saintly hero.

fold into the Conservative works and be an asset to this large country and work to save the country's identity and save it from further intervention
from this man. His followers left in the U.S. government must be closely watched! They may want to redo the insurrection. Trump should be
charged with murder in the last insurrection!. He cannot be corrected. How many innocents died for their U.S. country! Maybe a mental institution

I was born in the U.S. and I currently think America is falling apart. I think America's main issue is there's too much freedom. It's weird to say, but I believe that democracy is the best IDEA, but not the best course of action. This goes especially for a country who is built up of mostly immigrants with all sorts of different beliefs and views. Then, we have two opposing parties that make up our government, with people that are voted in from this mess.
Too continue, there is some incredibly and astonishingly stupid people in America with all sorts of different types of conundrums: lack of intelligence, ignorance, greed, and racism. A fine recollection of this would be that seven-percent of all Americans believe Chocolate Milk comes from brown cows. This fact was surveyed by an accredited university. Now, imagine all these types of people voting for their country's leaders. Thus, we have the United States.
It is my personal belief that if democracy is to exist there must be some type of intelligence quota testing, or evaluation, by an accredited psychologist. These tests should also be performed, with documentation presented, in order to be allowed to vote. Doing this would prevent any unrational voting views.
Many Americans do not even know what our constitution defines specifically, yet they are still permitted to vote. My favorite is Freedom of Speech clause. People think it is set up so you can degrade, or slander individuals, without any consequences. THAT IS NOT WHAT OUR CONSTITUTION ALLOWS! Our Freedom of Speech mentioned in the Constitution gives us the right to speak our opinions or express our beliefs against our GOVERNMENT, not individuals. Actually, slander and degradation is illegal in many states and can result in civil and monetary suites in court, if you can prove it. ASK tRUMP, he sued a member of his hotel clientele for referring him as resembling "the son of an orangutan." This had been published in Forbes Magazine some years back. Yet, he runs around and does the same exact thing. Hypocracy at it's finest. Now, with a mess like this and people who don't actually even know what our constitution actually defines, imagine them all running out to the polls every four years voting for our leaders. Testing is crucially in need.
With all of this said, we get people voted in like tRUMP, child molesting state governers, and idiotic leadership. Nancy,in our own congress, mentioned "Jewish Space Lasers" as a result in an argument amungst our congress representatives. What in thee holy f$%# is a Jewish Space Laser? Can anyone please enlighten me? This is what I, and other coherent Americans have to deal with.
Covid 19 is also no excuse. Americans did the exact same s$%@ during the early nineteen hundreds when the Spanish Flu pandemic was peaking. They behaved in the exact stupid manner they are putting forth now.

He lost the election, and the more he lies - and his disgusting enablers lie - the more people like you believe him, and the anger builds up and becomes violence. Trump WANTS the violence. He encouraged it on January 6th. He has used our tax dollars to make a fortune for himself. This is all well documented facts, so you won’t find that information on FOX News, or OAN, or NewsMax, or listening to Alex Jones’ spewing
rants. There are plenty of reliable news sources that you can turn to, but you don’t want to hear any facts, do you? That’s why Trump said that he loves the uneducated. He loves you because you believe every word he says and willingly make fools of yourself for him. Look at that poor deranged Mike Pillowhead. He will go bankrupt if he continues on this path of blind stupidity.
We demand facts. You won’t face facts.

WELL over a third, actually a VAST MAJORITY of Americans respect that Trump earned his billions during a lifetime of hard work dealing with the broad spectrum of humanity out to best him monetarily. Unlike politicians who pretend to send Foreign Aid to needy countries only to have it funneled back into their families' accounts laundered through humanitarian aid. Audits and statistical analysis are proving that Trump got well over 75 million votes and, in fact won the election by a landside. Biden's votes were manufactured out of dead, ghost and flat-out fraudulent registrations. Trump didn't have to give up his great life to serve the country he loves; he's in it to return the control of our country to US, We the People. Brits aren't revolted by Obama's treason? Are y'all so stupid as to be played by that fraud? Country Club RINO Republicans are being outed by those of us who stand responsibly beside our legitimate President insisting on lawful, honorable and just policies. I attended a MAGA rally on Halloween where 70,000 showed up to support his re-election in a rural county! This foolish article is written out of ignorance and nastiness. All the points noted demonstrate, NOT that Trump and Americans aren't "nice" but that the author needs to look at the record, ask himself what Americans expect from their tax and emotional investments and recognize that NO OTHER POLITICIAN OF ANY SUBSTANCE has DELIVERED in that regard in the past 4 years and longer! Nate White, you may be "articulate and witty" but you've no skin in this game and when the Arizona Audit report is delivered, you'll learn the sordid truth about the treasonous democrats about to learn; "THE PARTY'S OVER!"

There isn’t a truthful statement in your entire delusional mess of a post. “Audits and statistical analysis are proving that that Trump got well over 75 million votes and, in fact won by a landslide.” SERIOUSLY?? There has been NO evidence presented that will back up your nonsense. NONE. ZERO. NADA. Not even whe they had a chance to present it to the Supreme Court. They had nothing to back up their delusions.
But go ahead and keep sending them your money. That’s all they want from you anyway.

You live in Bizarro World. The vast majority of Americans know the truth about Trump and that he inherited then squandered his wealth, borrowed from banks then defaulted on them over and over to the point none are willing to loan to him now. He's a lifelong crook and a cheat and a pathological liar. The pathetic part is you still believe his proven lies and all the nonsense about his "success" and the Big Lie about the election being stolen. Grow up.

I've been saying since that jackass was elected that it feels like we're living in an episode of The Twilight Zone. A really bad episode. You have summarized bunker boy perfectly. The scary part is all of the people who still think he's the best. Probably close to 40% of our voters. But that number is getting smaller all the time. He's most likely killed the republican party. We need at least two parties for our form of government to work properly. I guess there's nothing in the rule book that says republicans have to be one of them.

This testimony is worth sharing to the world. I am here to tell the world of the good works of Dr BALBOSA. My name is Olivia Bolton am from the UK.. My man left me and my kids for another older woman. It was not so easy for me.. I love my husband so much and I did not lose hope and I kept praying and God finally answered my prayers...i searched online for a spell caster to help me unite me and my lover back forever and i saw so many testimonies of how DR BALBOSA has helped so many people online and i decided to give him a trial … I contacted him and explained to him. He told me not to worry that he will bring back my man within 24 hours. He consulted his powers and assured me not to worry . He did his work and cast the spell and to my greatest surprise, my husband came back the same day begging and crying just as Dr BALBOSA said. He begged me for forgiveness and he promised never to leave me for any reason. We are happy and we live together as one. Contact Dr BALBOSA now and be happy forever. dont lose hope and good luck..

Well said, very well said. As an American, I am often slackjawed, dumbfounded by the fact that so many Americans still revere Donald J Trump; indeed, that such a being can be called a racist, bully, pathological liar, tax cheat, sexual predator, narcissist, misogynist, and sociopath, and that these are simply established facts, and not name calling, is an indictment of our country. Calling him an asshole or - my favorite - a corroded bucket of whale sperm, seems entirely reasonable. He has brought shame to the United States of America. Donald J Trump is truly evil. And that is so very very sad.

As an American, more frightening than where we have been is where we have yet to go... this human clusterfuck still has power over his base and his enablers from within. There seems to still be madness brewing in the fringe of his crazy MAGA base, a rebellion in the works of you will. King Orange, General Flynn, Mr. Pillow and others still preach the big lie hoping to incite division/violence. We are not out of the woods as long as the big bad wolf remains on our political horizon. 4 years was only the beginning. Only the steady hand of justice can save us now. The question is will she? And will the MAGA crowd ever accept any truth about their corrupt leader when they believe everyone else to be the enemy? The FBI, Supreme Court, mainstream media... it's inside-out, upside-down insanity. American democracy is teetering and those who truly believe in her are fighting to hold her steady while others continue to shake the walls of our truth and values. We are a nation still rattled by 1/6, but we are hoping and striving for stability.

Trump represents a cult of lowly esteemed confederate hangers on whose idea of “great America” is to revert to White empowerment and privilege at the expense of lesser minorities and immigrants.
I was once questioned as to what qualifications I had that would justify me being in a better job than that which he had. It is born of the belief that they belong to a superior race that owns America, everyone else, including indigenous people are lesser than they are Add to that the fact that if immigration is not rationed, based on color then they will eventually become the minority.
That is how cults operate, if you do not belong you are the enemy. This is what Trump nurtures

Patsy4 year ago
The most accurate description of Trump I've seen thus far. You forgot, however, to focus on what an existential danger he is, not only to America, but to the world. He's a fascist determined to regain destroy democracy and crown himself Emperor for Life. Look at the world leaders he's embraced, aided and abetted, including Vladimir Putin of Russia, Kim of N. Korea, Erdogan of Turkey, Lukashenko of Belarus, Xi Jinping of China, Abdel Fatah aSisi of Egypt, Abdul Azis Al Saud and Prince Muhammad Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia, Bashar al-Assad of Syria, Khalfia Nahyan of United Arab Emirates, all enemies of democracy and human rights. He sought some of these alliances for his own personal financial gain, but for the most part, he simply shares their views, and apparently over 30% of Americans are either just blithefully ignorant or share their their views as well. Either way, they are traitors to the country and to the concept of democracy. Not only did he do nothing to stop the Covid pandemic, he deliberately lied, covered up and argued against the advice of medical experts, sacrificing the lives of more than 670,000 fellow Americans all for for his own political gain. Even now, he and his allies in right-wing media and the GOP continue to kill Americans with lies about the 2020 election, the live-saving vaccine and the wearing of masks. Think of how easy it's been for Trump and his GOP allies to con over 30% of Americans into believing his lies and refusing to take a live-saving vaccine, not to mention taking away the right to vote from millions of voters, all in the name of Trump's ego and desperate need to regain political power. His supporters call it "freedom," but it's just racism, selfishness, ignorance and immorality -- all traits they admire in their cult leader, Donald J. Trump. Since January, Trump has amassed over $75 million dollars from voters by claiming the contributions would be used to "stop the steal" and overturn the 2020 election. But, his own financial statements prove that not a single dollar has gone toward fighting the election results, funding fake audits or anything else related to the election. Instead, all $75 million is being used to pay for his own personal expenses, for travel, criminal defense lawyers, staff, his personal businesses, and the cost of maintaining his personal lifestyle. The abbreviation for Republican voters should not be "Reeps," it should be "Rubes." It's like the old cliché, "A fool and his money are soon parted," and 95% of the GOP are fools. Trump has no policies he wants to enact. He's driven to regain the White House only to serve his enormous ego and to once again, use the presidency as his own personal piggy bank, funded by taxpayers.

Good article. We are stuck with a habitual liar because he is poor loser, probably the worst in history. He has always had everything his way so he can't accept reality so he runs around spreading the Big Lie. Every Court in the land ruled against him but the pathetic human being that is can't accept it. His daughter, Ivanka and her husband have stepped away from him because he was blaming his lost on Jared, her husband. He never takes the blame for anything and it is everyone else's fault. The polls said the whole year that he was losing so it shouldn't have been surprise. That's why he started blaming it on the voting even before the election. He is a evil human being causing the Jan. 6 riot by inciting the violence. He will stoop to anything to get his way.

What you are describing here is not just Donald Trump, but also the psychological underpinnings of a class and a 'race' of people in the US. The IQ level complete with the racism and mob boss mentality that bore the Confederacy through and after the Civil War is alive and well in this man and his supporters. The English writer here has described a lone individual whose psychotic neurosis is the spitting image of the underside of American society; hidden, diverse and mostly invisible but the fact that he could pull 74,000,000 voters is the iceberg tip sinking this Ship.

The fuck if I know!!
Some are religious extremists and some nuts who thing they should be allowed to own their own nukes.
Then there are the white power, racists who still wave the confederate flag and want their slaves back, The group of traitors known as the confederacy lost that war. Many would say the“South” got off. With merely a slap on the wrist.
Well, now they think they will they will be able to reelect Trump in 2024 by gerrymandering, eliminating polling locations, enacting laws that restrict voter’s rights, and by intimidation.
My solution is to make Texas it’s own country, move all the right wing religious. nuts there (we will move Austin out of Texas) and permanently close the borders. Then they can build a wall.

At the risk of sounding like a Trump apologist, it really should be noted that Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a real, psychological issue and the sufferers of it seldom realize that they have it. The problem here is that not only does this individual with NPD not know he has it, neither do any of his millions of blithering, delusional supporters know that he has it. In their defense, most of them probably don't even know how to spell "narcissist", let alone quantify it.

Mr Anthony has drunk the Kool-aid. Trump got gas so low by ignoring the pandemic, driving the economy into depression like conditions. No one was going to work so no one was driving. That's called capitalism. With regards to unemployment, Trump inherited a thriving economy from Obama who did all the hard work pulling the country out of the recession. You can make a case that the only legislative achievement in this 4 years (the "incredible" tax cut) has set the stage for inflation as it's done nothing for economic growth but blew up the deficit and inflated stock prices (since most of it went to stock buy backs). I won't even bring up the hundreds of thousands of people who died needlessly because of his incompetence and narcissism, nor the riot he fomented on January 6. This man is a loser on so many levels. May he rot in hell or at least an inhospitable federal prison.

President Trump tried to protect our Southern border by building the wall and now president Biden has it wide open so the democrats can get more votes from people that have not contributed a cent to the economy, yet they want everything handed to them via welfare etc. Don't get me wrong, I would never want this man to marry one of my daughter's of grand-daughters, but his policies had the US booming.

Presidents do not set gas prices, supply and demand does. Non citizens can’t vote. Research show that immigrants contribute more to the economy than they receive. The US economy is stronger under Biden than under Trump. The only factual statement you made, is you wouldn’t want him to marry your daughters or granddaughters. It’s sad you would want someone as president you wouldn’t want in your family.

If the words of an 82-year-old American can be heard, and forgiven, when Trump came along I knew that I had never really seen a pile of shit before. Or, if you can’t print that, then use Shakespeare’s “mountain of mad flesh.” I tend to accept people with all their flaws, EXCEPT when they do their best to create suffering. Rev. Fred Rogers, of TV’s Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, defined evil as the attempt to make people think that they are unloveable, undeserving of life. Now I have seen evil, and it makes me sad to see the suffering that “mountain of mad flesh” created. Thank you for your “spot-on” (as the English say) article that made me laugh. I feel less alone.

They are still worshipping him & Qnon is saying he’ll be back in the White House “tomorrow” everyday & people believe that sh_t! That everybody that is alive is dead & everybody that is & has been dead is alive.

Thank you for your article. Your description of the subject is spot on. Before the 2016 and 2020 elections, the insurrection of January 6, and the continuing saga of the subject of your article, we didn’t realize how many mentally ill people there are in the USA. Therapists need to advertise more, talk about the benefits of therapy more, and more sane people need to become therapist. Everyone needs someone in their life who cares and can help to keep them grounded.

Maybe the British people can see what some Americans cannot. Trump is actually dangerous and it frightens me that so many Americans do not see what is at stake for us if we aren't careful in the future. Our freedom should be at the top of the list and I do hope the foolish won't do harm for the
America and trash our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Maybe a little visit with history, like what happened to the democracy Germany had, might be
helpful in opening eyes nice and wide. I thank Nate White for his eye opening article.

I love this piece. I think the one thing the author failed to mention is that Trump is undoubtedly, beyond a shadow of a doubt, mentally ill. That so many millions of Americans are willing to follow, believe in and support him in the face of all his lies and delusions has the makings of a real life Shakespearean tragedy.
Sandy Pozniak4 year ago
Oh! That was fabulous!!! Describing Trump the Terrible to a “T”. We here in America are not all mindless of madness. We have put up with this aberration (we hope!) for 6 years and counting. He won’t go away!!!! He’s a nasty fly who keeps bothering everybody, incessantly making a pest of himself. Now he has people believing all the lies he spews for his own self-interest or, not really believing them, the politicians use them for their own self-interest, for appealing to his base. If they believe the lies, I’ll say I do, too, so I can get re-elected. It’s an awful mess. AWFUL. And what makes it even worse, despite all the analyzing and theories, possibilities, probabilities, books, articles, investigations, allegations……no-one knows how we’re going to be rid of him! Those of us who are reasonable and, yes, nice people wonder how his followers have gotten so lost, how they’ve become seemingly brainwashed and have thrown all the good things we’ve stood for down the drain, tossed it all aside for someone so unworthy of them. That’s the dilemma with live with every day and we keep asking ourselves, “”What happened?” “How did it all go so wrong so fast?” And if we knew, would we be able to go back or is something in us irretrievably broken? Like I said, it’s an awful mess. AWFUL.

Traveling in Australia during Trump’s presidency it was clear to us that many Australians shared this British opinion. I think my favorite comment was the rather elegant lady at a concert one evening upon discovering that we were Anerican tourists said, “ My dear, have Americans lost their minds?” Looks that way….
Dr. William Watters4 year ago
So perfect in its detail, I laud you as what we here see you, as the English articulate Brit. For us, Trump was almost like an alien arriving from some other planet and taking over. We are a crass, pretty much simple people, all trying to get along with one another, in spite of our two party government concept. But Trump is the Devil's son, lacking in any and all inner sensitivity as to how the people around him feel. He cares only for himself and anyone who attaches himself to his bizarre mind, or lack of one. Remember the comment he make over and over again, " I so smart that doctors tested me and found I was brilliant." Hugh Grant (whom I love) could come over here and run our country better than Trump. Trump is dangerous, insane, a liar, a thief and a con artist.
But, this is what most Europeans don't get, and this is where Peewee Herman has a wonderful line in one of his films, Big Top Pee Wee, "Everyone has a big "Butt." The "But" is what Europeans don't understand: Most US-educated, university/college citizens see Trump for what he is, a liar and a thief. Sorry to upset you, but the USA have millions of totally uneducated people who will wallow in the inanity of his speeches, lacking the mind to do else. We are NOT ALL Wealthy.

This article has expertly outlined the reality of Trump. For those concerned about the GOP, they know precisely what they are supporting and promoting, not because they necessarily agree with it but because the GOP sees their tacit and active approval as being their best path to securing power for themselves. Trump is merely a symptom of the outright corruption of Republican politics which cannot find an audience in a reasonable, rational, thoughtful, informed population.

Brilliant and spot-on. It seems as though that the one-third of Americans who voted for Trump either didn't bother to learn anything of his past prior to his TV show (it takes no particular skill or talent to spit out "You're fired" on-cue) or they knew of his past and didn't care, or knew of his past and found his qualities attractive. Those of us who have lived in the New York City area during the last 50+ years, however, have always known Donald Trump as possessing the character of a mobster and the intellect of a juvenile.

I agree with the earlier statement from Sojourner, as an African American, this is the side of white America we have always seen and attempted to warn others about. People like him will be the destruction of America if the rest of us don't get serious about boxing them out and wresting control of government from them, because make no mistake, these are the people that are in control of our governing system right now. This why we can't have things like decent roads, a living wage or any kind of social safety net, because this petty worldview doesn't believe in common good, only what's good for them to the exclusion of others.

Sojourner4 year ago
@Robin, and those who try to deny Trump isn’t truly representative of America, yes, he s indeed. Trump was not a momentarily lapse in American judgement, as Robin has suggested. Black Americans, of which I am one, have been ringing the alarm and singing like canaries, during and after slavery, about the white supremacy and terrorism pervasive throughout American society against Black Americans and even indigenous Americans. This includes the police force, military, education system, medical institutions and practices, and politics.
There is clear pattern here of black progress being met with violent and strategic white backlash. The Civil War win against the Confederacy and the following strides made during the Reconstruction Era (with active black American input) resulted in a backlash of about 100 years of American apartheid: Jim Crow. The passing of the Civil Rights Act resulted in the war in drugs that saw many black men disproportionately shepherded into prisons (the new slavery) for crack, while white American use of a different form of that same drug barely registered. Obama’s presidency resulted in very vile, vitriolic, vulgar and visible characterization of the darker side of America: the crude, cruel, and crass Donald J. Trump. Even Michelle and Melania were very visibly opposites in the same regard, so decisive was the backlash.
Trump isn’t a lapse, as many Black Americans will testify. He is a symptom- a manifestation- of a long-existing cancer in America: racism. And that cancer isn’t even done spreading, because too many “well-meaning” white Americans (and even many immigrants) either refuse to see or downplay America’s original sin. They will even continue to arrogantly gaslight black Americans and tell us we didn’t see, heat, experience what we said did, even though we are bona fide experts on picking up on racism.
This is why America deserved the vile exposure Trump provided, although I’m thankful he is not currently president. Trump is the bandage that was brutally ripped off at the count of one when the ripper said they’d take it off at the count of three. Yes, I went there, because the fulcrum of white supremacy is actually anti-blackness and black lives have paid the price and will continue to do so as long as America tries to placate and negotiate with terrorists (i.e., white supremacists, including the evangelicals).
Yes, other non-whites, and even poor whites, suffer and will continue to suffer, too. Yet, unlike many Black Americans, too many of those groups are naive enough to believe they’ll get to share in some of that wealthy white power and privilege. But, neither power nor wealth operate like that- there needs to be disempowered and poor people after all; so, equality won’t do. At the very least, those groups can expect crumbs or GMOs of power, especially if they ally against black Americans (as some African and Caribbean immigrants in the US have foolishly done before and after Trump called their countries $h!tholes). At the most, they can expect varying degrees of that violence (e.g., physical, economic, etc.) to land on their own doorsteps.

What bothers us is that we found him simply by holding a mirror up to our national character.

You wonder with all the flaws Trump has, how could he feel like he is superior. He keeps company with White Supremest and is willing to hire the most unqualified people as long as they are loyal. We can all see the vengeance he seeks when he feels someone has been disloyal. VP Pence could testify. His relationship with Blacks are awkward at best but he seems to crave their approval, in an odd kinda way. If Trump had gotten a second term he could have easily destroyed the entire planet.

What I do know is he has emboldened the seedy drudges of American society. Personally, I suspect the sudden rise is gun violence and mass shootings can be attributed to him and his Party, rather like the ‘guerilla warfare’ tactics of the Vietnam era. Knowing they could never win the war they would like to wage, they opt for the coward’s way.

He is the same as all political monsters that find themselves in a place of power. His cult is mostly those who have no power, and this man is their way of "getting back" at a world that they despise for a myriad of reasons. Then there are the neo-wealthy that believe they will ride his coat-tails to freedom from the rules of a society that tries to take they wealth through various means. One cannot talk to them, for they simply don't care about anyone or anything but themselves. Uneducated, poor, gun mad, greedy, the list is long and this buffoon discovered early on that pandering to the lowest denominator adds up to quite a few votes.

Angst, anger, depression, frustration with 45 & GOP Congress who immediately pledged him their total loyalty allowed his Rogue Presidency. That’s a Federal Crime, but no justice has been served. Then came HIS 1/06/21 INSURRECTION..DEADLY & violent. We are in peril. Democracy hanging by a thread. He’s still walks free! GOP are acting on his word for instruction. Treason!!

The remaining cult members for Trump will never change since as we've heard before......." you can't fight stupid"!

Surprisingly, many of his followers would agree with your assessment of the man, but they dont care (the hateful) or see him as less bad than the alternative (the "christians"). As long as he is insulting someone they hate, he is their man. Unfortunately for them, all the white working people of his base ever got from him was ,oops, nothing but rhetoric and tax cuts for the rich.

Two thirds of America is just as confounded as the rest of the world by "the Shakespeare of shit's" (what a fitting epithet!) hold on his base. The answer, unfortunately, is simple: they embrace his racism. For context you might want to read Confederates in the Attic. They are a base of deplorables, and we're shocked and alarmed by them, too.

Any person responding to this article that defends Donald Trump is a lost cause. No one who understands that he is a narcissistic, sociopathic, psychopath (look up the definitions if you need to) should waste any more time attempting to understand why his disciples continue to support his positions. It is nearly impossible to rationalize the irrational.

1. He ignored the State Department, the CIA & the FBI as regards reports that Russia had meddled with the previous election. He then asked Putin, “ Did Russia interfere in our election? “ Putin answered, “No”, & the blond oaf took that answer as gospel truth, thus undermining USA’s official agencies
2. In February 2020 he proclaimed that the Pandemic would be over by Easter (ie 2 months later!) What an asshole to ignore scientists & doctors
3. He admitted to drinking detergents & the like!
From 2016 to 2020 we had an oaf for POTUS. only losers win one term!

After reading the British article, I felt sorry for the subject of the article. It's the first time I ever felt any sympathy for the "subject", and don't mean that anything said was not accurate, but the depth and breath of the article conjured up a sympathetic feeling. Maybe that sympathy should be directed to the poor lady who must live with that man. That would be sympathy more appropriately directed. In our family the biggest question was how long it would take before they would experience a divorce.

Your comment is sick. I would say you are a bigot when it comes to your remarks about President Trump! I'm sure you think you're witty. My interpretation is that you are saying more than 50% of the American population are rats. Not very nice. People are becoming so over-sensitive about any criticism that makes people laugh! (And there is PLENTY to criticize when it comes to American politics.) I found President Trump (and he won the election) to be very funny. He was not groomed to be an aristocrat but the owner of a construction company!! Obviously you have never been acquainted with anyone from working-class America.

For what it’s worth, there are many sites that fact check news organizations (radio, TV, and print materials) for their reliability and bias. I found an excellent, unbiased source for fact-checking the news, if anyone is interested. They post fact checks on individual articles, too. For example, Infowars claimed that China invested $400 million in Dominion voting machines. That claim is FALSE. Attacking Dominion has been a staple of Fox News for the last two months.
I’m not sure how this site is set up for direct links, so I will type it as mediabiasfactcheck(dot)com Use a period instead of the (dot)

call me naive.... there is a division in America which neither side can understand each other. I think this writing was ACCURATE to MY sensibilities... but states of the so called 30% which is well over 40% and closer to 50%. They have families, children, work hard for support of family, have grandparents that they are caring for... just like all of us. I admit that I don't know what this percentage want. Do they want guns, do they not want equality or no diversity, are they Suprematist. I am confused....I think we have to bring the this remarkable country to a table of conversation. This is a great democratic country that founded on equality and we have made major mistakes in our attempt... but that was our goal, our grace, our purpose at least.... I naively believe. We all need to be heard no matter of race, religion, economics. "the protection of fundamental human rights". Those 40% Proclaim What? I struggle to understand.... WE are a country have to infold them and understand their concerns... I am at a loss and trying to grasp what is their goal and what they need and wants are. I am at a loss to how to start the conversation, BUT believe they can not be neglected just because I don't understand or agree with the sensibilities. They are in fact almost half of our country... the two party system for self correcting..... I cannot stand on the sideline and feel justified that they don't have a voice just because it not mine. I think that is what got us all here to this place and why Donald Thrump is their hero.
Just saying.
Ann T4 year ago
Dawn, that was very refreshing to read. If more people asked the questions you are asking, and worked together to understand and voice our concerns, the tensions would ease. We would find common ground. Not overnight, but gradually.
I know of two Trump voters in my extended family. Why did they vote for Trump? Because they want to believe that they can go wherever they want to go, be with whomever they want to be with, get their kids back in school, and wear masks only when required by the law. Donald Trump’s words and actions say that it’s all OK, and this will be over soon. Common sense and concern for others are not applicable here. That’s one explanation for Trump voters that I know of.
I also think that Trump supporters get their news from unreliable sources, as well. We are probably all guilty, to a certain extent, of listening to the news stations that tells us what we want to hear.

70 millionth so Americans felt another four years of Trump was in the best interests of the United States and the World. Thank your lucky stars another 80 million or so disagreed.

Such nice wishful thinking 1/3. Hope that helps you sleep better at night.
But the reality - closer to 1/2. So sorry for America! Land of dreams dashed and hope fading fast! Just lock uo the nukes real tight when your civil wr inevitably starts.

Our country was overtaken by liberal socialist Chinese communists (and others not supportive of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."). So very sad. I'm definitely (at age 73) looking forward to the day when justice will be done, no more pedophiles, human traffickers, satanists... Waiting for the majority to rightfully overtake our government as described in the U.S. Constitution when a government no longer is "for the people" but for themselves, the "elite."

Trump said he did a lot for Americans, but when you check to see if it was done, you would find out its propaganda. Yes, he serves BS all the time. He is the greatest con artist and he has so many racist followers to repeat his fake rhetoric that his base believes every word. They believe he is a God which would be laughable if we didn't have real problems. People are dying and that is the problem. We needed a real leader with at least a tea spoon of intelligence. I am so happy we have a President who can really lead this country. Thanking God.

… gets temporary hospitals built in three days.
… gets auto industries to restructure to build ventilators in a business that’s highly regulated by agencies that move like sloths.

And ANYONE who is stupid enough to try and spin Trump’s horrific and irresponsible Covid -19 neglect to be anything but a unnecessary tragedy is a gullible, ignorant fool. It’s 400,000 deaths and counting, Harvey. And it has been revealed now that Trump had NO PLAN to deal with this pandemic. He’s known for a year about Covid, and had NO PLAN in place. They had nothing to hand over to the Biden Administration. Unbelievable ineptitude.

Gordon's comment is both accurate to a limited degree and sloppy on the other. He does not speak for those who never liked, let along respected, Trump. Is he a disenchanted Trumpista? The skepticism and the disrespect for what he sees as an elite political class merges with a distaste for education and skills acquisition that some Yanks have acquired (and look what the amateurs, the ideologues like Betsey DeVos to name, but one, have done on their jobs!) Sadly, what isn't acknowledged is the determined effort not to see how the US class system plays out: the thugs who stormed the capitol and the "Americans" this person is speaking of are, at best working class (oh, with a sprinkling of politically illiterate, better off, neo-fascists) in a country where the working class isn't working. When it comes to the thug end, Trump, despite his ill-gotten wealth, is just as uneducated and ignorant as they are; and that's the reason he is so loved by them. The ex– (HALLELUJAH!) the ex-president, however, cares less about them, helping them, or righting the wrongs they've suffered. Note that he pleaded for their help for HIM, not for the collectivity of them: all Trump ever cared to receive from them is applause. He gave nothing. Sense of humor? Well..... Yank pop culture depends upon some of that same cruel mockery, frat boy humor, stupidness that Trump has (take a look at what's offered on Netflix), and less and less on anything that doesn't insult one's intelligence. To some degree there's some humor on the late night political commentaries (but, egad! isn't John Oliver British? Trevor Noah, South African? okay, we've got Stephen Colbert...) And, surprise, surprise, some of the better humorists come from the groups most discriminated against.

Michael Gordon: An average Joe rising to the top of his own volition...? I hope you’re not confusing such an admirable quality with Trump. Daddy’s money and influence got him everything, then bailed him out after his business ventures flopped due to his ineptitude. Please, find a better example.
Michael Gordon4 year ago
This article makes several good points, but as an American, I think this article contrives, or maybe fails to understand, many aspects of American society.
The first is that Americans are deeply skeptical of bureaucracy in a unique and extreme way. This stems as far back as the Revolutionary War. Unlike in Britain, where social norms favor upper class manners and values, Americans value, and to a certain extent even fetishize, the image of the average Joe rising to the top of his own volition. We generally hate the idea of government itself. We also worship ideas of rugged individualism and frontier justice. This is a major part of our culture. As Ronald Reagan once said, “the worst 9 words an American can hear are, ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.’”
Americans aren’t unable to see Trump’s flaws; in fact, they was his greatest selling point. Many Americans wrongly assumed his flaws would be the perfect thing to disrupt the back door dealings of Washington.
This didn’t work for two simple reasons. Yes, the US government is an insider’s club run by rich people and lobbyists, but sending a person with no idea how to navigate that corrupt system... is not going to fix the corrupt system. The second reason it didn’t work is because Trump is one of those corrupt lobbyists himself.
Also, what’s this malarkey about Americans not having a sense of humour? Just because we’re more blunt and direct than the Brits, doesn’t mean we’re less “sophisticated” or lacking in nuance. The US is a brain drain for the rest of the world. Many of the world’s greatest comedians have come out of the US too.
Jim4 year ago
Michael Gordon speaks for 30% of Americans. Most Americans have seen right through how Trump is a shell of a man and was actually the biggest impediment to making America great again. Although a majority of republicans believe the election was stolen. Our democracy was pushed to the brink, and even though radical right (not left) rioters stormed the Capitol, it's republicans like Michael Gordon, who sounds like an educated man, that are complicit. Thinking that the 'conservative' values that Trump promoted are more important than the assault on democracy. Trump is an awful human being and does not exhibit a single traditional republican value. Yet they drank the Kool-Aid. It hurts my heart and seriously diminishes my faith in my fellow Americans. I just hope we can recover from everything that this evil man has done to our great nation!

As an American living in London who detests trump, I'd like to point out to my esteemed British commentators below that 80 million Americans did not vote for trump nor his ill humour and dull tirades based on fantasy. We have a very good sense of the ironically absurd and we've been working really hard to get our country back from the hooligans.
We just had such an abysmal choice in the 2016 elections it was hard to muster up any enthusiasm. 'How bad could it be?', we sighed after he won.
We had no flipping idea the depths of disgusting this man could reach.

National exceptionalism doesn't result from waving flags, arrogance and false bravado.

Very good, although I read something similar from the UK sometime in 2017 which added that Donald Trump doesn't even own a dog, and the British people don't trust a man who doesn't own a dog. Is true? Trump would have so many lackeys who would be eager for the privilege of cleaning up after Donald Trump's dog.
My theory is that there are so many people in the US that got so ticked at the election of a black president (!) that it brought racism into the open, and Trump feeds that hatred. (Ironically, I am sitting here in the US writing this on MLK Day).

The “constant attacks from the media” is the media doing their job and reporting actual news, complete with supporting evidence, of the kind of activities that Trump doesn’t want us to know about. The kind of activity that Trump falsely claims as “fake news,” and his disgusting revolving door of spineless liars (press secretaries, aides, lawyers, GOP) denies, deflects, and fails to defend any of it.
He acts like a mob boss, as someone else just pointed out, and thinks that the country should just do whatever he says, irregardless of the legality of his actions.
And if you think the left is “radical,” how in the world would you describe the shameless, lawless, ignorant human scumbags who tore apart the Capitol and
terrorized those inside?
If you had any critical thinking skills whatsoever, you would realize that not only has Trump exposed himself as the unhinged despot who threatens anyone in his way, but he has exposed his followers as the stupid fools he has trained you to be. The whole world saw that mass of ugliness on TV: Trump supporters. Fools.

A precise description. But I always try to compare my opinions and conclusions with the professional ones in a given sphere. Here they are, first of all, psychologists and psychiatrists; then sociologists, historians and economists to explain the phenomena of his popularity among a big number of Americans; of course politicians, his colleagues, friends and family members who were close and knew him for many years - that could make an objective description. You can see all of those in the movie UNFIT, that’s now popular on Netflix. However only your eyes and some common sense is enough to see what this Brittish journalist writes about Trump, the sad thing - nearly half of Americans have problems with seeing that. These problems existed before Trump and not easy to be solved after he’s gone.

No More! No Less, I guess the Brit Summed it up best for the rest of us - non Brits. The aberration embodied in Trump and Trumpism is a universal explication captured in the Brits view point.

Trump has perpetrated the biggest con on the American people that anyone could ever have imagined. He is a charismatic cult leader who has managed to corrupt and destroy the traditional 2 party political system of government we have successfully had in this country for over 200 years in the space of 4 years. He has spread more lies and disinformation than any other political leader of all time and has caused the Republican Party to distrust media sources for verifiably provable facts telling them only to believe what he tells them is true and they not only listen to him, they ignore verifiable facts and evidence and believe what he says even though what he says is verifiably able to be proven false. That’s cult like behavior. A large portion of the Republican Party are now Qanon followers and White Supremacists. The racists probably always were republicans but now they’re out about it and proud to own it. You’ve got Congressional Representatives too scared and morally vacant to take a stand and call out the lies because they’re afraid of being primaried and being voted out of office so they went along to get along. Trump lost the election. He knew it, Congress knew it everyone knew it. He wasn’t going to be seen as a loser though so he created the BIG LIE. All of a sudden Black votes/ Hispanic votes in majority minority Counties in States that Trump lost were being challenged. Only those votes. Not down ballot races just the presidential race and just in majority black cities/counties in States Trump lost. Good God! Can’t have Black and Hispanic people picking our president now can we! Especially a president like Trump! So, that knowledge backed up with the scapegoating of mail in ballots turned into “I won this election by a lot and they stole this election from you!” THE BIG LIE which was told by RT wing media for 2 months over and over and over and eventually led to Trump inciting an insurrection to overthrow our democratic government. A freaking attempted coup by the president of his own government. Truly unbelievable!
74 million people voted for him, he has a 29% approval rating but still fairly popular within the Party. The Party is a mess. Has no platform, has factions of Qanon, white supremacists and regular ole republicans who still have core values of what the Party used to believe in. What will they do?
Trump has destroyed the Party, nearly brought this Country to civil war and that risk is not yet 0. Where do we go from here because Trump will NOT help us out of this mess. All he would have to do is simply tell the truth. The election wasn’t stolen but he won’t. The Senate needs to convict him and make it so he never holds another office again. He’s a danger and has done enormous damage and his impact will be felt for years. He will go down in history that’s for sure but it won’t be for all the things that presidents are usually loved and remembered for. He will be famous for all the evil and destruction to the core and values of the fabric of the American way of life. You need truth and a basic understanding of facts to have any confidence in your president. Without that you’ll never achieve a unified Country

Amazingly well written. Spot on. And not one lie or misleading statement. Something Trump could NEVER achieve. I can’t wait for Biden to take office. They will have to fumigate the White House and Congress first to get rid of all of the rats/traitors to America that have infested DC in the last four years. Not a Patriot to be found in the the whole bunch of Trump and his sycophants.

Remember, he was not only opposed to Obama’s policies, he was appalled by OBAMA! He couldn’t abide seeing Obama sprint up the steps of Air Force One - like a little monkey, he said, beneath the dignity of an American President. Thank you, President Donald John, for restoring dignity to the office, making us proud. And how about the falsity of the Obama couple, always grinning before the camera like a couple of chimpanzees. We Americans chose wisely for a First Couple in the Trumps, whose tender devotion to each other is palpable. Their deep love is so wonderful to behold after having to endure that awfully artificial Barack Hussein and Michelle for eight miserable years. The lovely Trumps are Real Americans of whom we could not be more proud. A Patriot.

It's so hard to believe how so millions of people are completely brainwashed into believing to all the garbage coming from this twice impeached president. Even one promise he made that's been clearly a lie, they still don't care like "Mexico is going to pay for the wall" bs. They were even able to raise fund to help build the wall instead of confronting Trump about his broken promise! What kind of stupid love do they have for this guy? They're like this wife whose husband keeps beating her, and still stay and hope the husband will change because she loves him so much, and she is so dumb to leave.
I think if Trump gather them all and tell them it's over, there's nothing they can do to keep him another four years in office, they will all go to jail with him so they need to drink his poisoned drink to prove their love for him, they will all do! Bless all their hearts!

His buddy Steve Bannon embezzled the money that was donated to build the wall and Trump pardoned him Jan. 19, 2021 for that crime.
If you read about the so called wall, it actually turns out that what were remote inaccessible places with cliff faces and other obstacles were blasted and had roads built there which actually create new smuggling routes.

Unfortunately approximate 30-35% of Americans don’t see that, The British seem to have far more perceptive intuition.

Yes, Donald... he “gets things done,” alright. He promised trouble over the election results, and he delivered! Five people dead. The Capitol building vandalized, lawmakers terrorized.

The whole world heard his words, calling for violence, over and over again, and a vicious ugly band of Trump’s Thugs delivered. “Deplorable” is far too kind for Trumpkins.

No, Paul. The “Antifa” nonsense was disproved, and that claim was recanted, but I bet you won’t hear about that on the right wing propaganda sites.

Equally horrifying, Felix, is that those people refuse to believe anything other than Trump’s insistence that he “won in a landslide.” After more than 50 court decisions that ruled otherwise, (including Trump’s hand-picked judges all the way up to the Supreme Court), willfully ignorant Trumpists believe that Trump is telling the truth. Donald Trump, the man who lies CONSTANTLY. And they believe Trump, even though he and his absurd cast of laughable, delusional “lawyers,” have failed to produce ANY evidence to support their claims!

ANYONE who has even had a shadow of a thought that Trump wants to do good for or help better the USA or its citizens has zero capacity to analyze character and humanness !! For all of his 70+ years, now, and into the last minute of his life, this monster, this con-man, bully-boy, manipulator, gangster, thug, liar, thief, crook has NEVER designed a thought to do good for anyone but HIMSELF. He won’t, can’t, doesn’t and will never do/be good for anyone but Donald Trump. He doesn’t have the capacity because he is missing all the capabilities that makes an individual fully human: no shame, no sympathy, no empathy, no compassion, no sense of right over wrong, truth over lies, kindness over crude criticism, manners over sloth or love over manipulation. And he never will. He is psychologically deranged and dangerously narcissistic! He is unfit to lead and should NEVER be given power over people in any form or context

I can’t believe that after the appalling events of the last few weeks, there are still people who are willing to believe that Trump gives a damn about anyone but himself. Encouraging the thugs who broke into the Capitol, and only denouncing it AFTER he was shamed into it. Placing at least two threatening phone calls to Georgia election officials, insisting that they “find” exactly enough votes to win Georgia. Lying constantly about the election results, knowing full well that all phony claims had already been checked out thoroughly.
He isn’t fighting “for all our freedoms.” He is trying to take them away, most noticeably is the First Amendment. How about the right to breath clean air or have fresh water, which he thinks is less important than Big Business?
Trumpkins proved exactly willfully ignorant they are by their disgusting display at the Capitol. In doing so, they showed the entire world exactly how unhinged Trump has become.

What does that say about these Republicans and importantly, what they think about the much vaunted ideals of the US Constitution.

Anyone can echo the Media and the anti Trumpers, put it into writing, but still not endorse journalism, which is exactly what this literary (and I use that description kindly) shows.
True Journalists research their target or subject.
Obviously you did not do that.
Had you visited the Government website, or the White House website or even observed and listened for yourself, you would have seen what this man has accomplished during his term, and I might add, without any help from a Congress who should have been working with him instead of having secret basement meetings concocting imaginary crimes he was supposed to have done so they could try to remove him from office, (which they never did). All because of their hate for him for exposing their corruption, that we would never have known about but for his revealing them to us.
They could not expel him on any charges, because he was not guilty, so resorted now to treason, which if there is any fair justice left in America, will be their demise, not his.
Dave4 year ago
Like most Trumpers, Bren, you completely miss the point and try to steer someone else's writings and opinions to land at your own destination. The author isn't even yet discussing Trump's accomplishments (or complete lack thereof) - he is most brilliantly describing what kind of human he is .... (and completely isn't). Every single description is spot on and make no mistake, there are more people that agree with them than do not -- hence the election results that I'm sure you don't believe in, either. And you have got to be joking with your comment about Trump doing it alone "without any help from Congress". Wake up and smell the corruption, Bren! His sniveling, Senate GOP enablers have made Trump's destructive journey of trampling all over our way of life possible. Had more of their whimpering, spineless numbers actually stood up for what is good and right, Trump might have felt like he was being kept in check (notice the actual function of Congress there, instead of what the yes-men, GOP troggs produced over this dreadful term). What planet can you possibly be on!? Distain for Trump doesn't expose anything except...um... distain for Trump - and all mindless oafs like him (um... yup, that's you). Trump's be expelled alright. I'd quote all the records of the election in case you don't know them but I'm sure you don't accept any of that silly election nonsense as truth like the good Trumper that you are. Trump will go down in history ranked on the list of presidents right where he belongs.... on the very bottom. And people like you will fade in history as a reckoning of how close we all came to something truly disastrous.

His demise will be greatly appreciated, but if history prevails, he will live long and foment trouble and worse get a revisionist history reputation makeover which is a very American trait.

Ha, I can tell I have mostly British DNA! Great article. I also read an insightful and oddly comforting editorial recently in the Washington Post by Matt Bai, “What will history say about Trump?” It explained all the factors that converged to allow such a person as Trump to be elected. Here’s one paragraph that stands out: “The history texts will note that by 2016, a leaderless Republican Party was primed for a hostile takeover. Into that breach stepped an accomplished huckster and TV celebrity, playing the role of garish billionaire and anti-immigrant populist.” Basically, Trump was a last-ditch effort by some to restore the past. But time marches on and things change, like it or not. The next 10-20 years should be interesting!

Your article states very eloquently, what 78 million Americans felt and thought as they cast their ballot for Biden / Harris. It will take time, likely more time than Biden / Harris have, to right the ship and restore dignity, compassion, and truth to the Office of the US President and, to, the United States of America. There is a lot of rebuilding to be done around the world and I am hopeful we can once again restore the respect of our allies and friends and reengage in world diplomacy.

The scary thing is that over 70 million Americans and half of Congress really prefer Trump to any man or woman on earth. It's not just that they like him more than either Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden. They love Trump and hate anyone who doesn't support him. He really is Jim Jones, David Koresh, and even Adolf Hitler in his early rise in the 1930s. He is a dangerous cult leader who must be stopped. This election will stop his political career, and he may face criminal charges that will force him to run to Saudi Arabia, Russia or some country that will have him. But his worshipful followers -- in Congress and the public -- will still carry the baggage of his racism, his xenophobia, his misogyny and his disgust for the US Constitution and the rule of law.

Close to 80 MILLION Americans voted for Trump and will/would again. He said the right things 5 years ago; we weren't sure he would follow through (most do not) BUT HE DID and did way more than we had hoped for. IF he goes down I hope he uses the last month to decimate whatever he can of the deep state, congress, fbi, justice dept, Sup Ct., and burn it up with Executive Orders. Get our troops out of the rest of the world. Finally, he should start a TRUMP Political Party. He already has 80,000,000 followers and would get more. It would be the best revenge on both Republicans and demon crats. I want to see both parties die. The demon crats cheated and the republicans sat by and watched. Dammm them all.

There was NO CHEATING by the Democrats, and anyone who believes your absurd comments is a brain-washed delusional idiot.

It is my fervent hope that in four years time you won't have to put up anymore with drooling old politicians and lawyers who just don't know how to retire gracefully.

It's easy to critizise something of what you DON'T know. TRUMP has done many good things during the last 4 years. You, Mr. GOOSE, follow the FAKE NEWS DEPARTMENT, get your facts, at least half right. He may be a bit strange, in his ways, but he is not a Politician. We could do with a Trump in Australia. The Pollies, did the same with Pauline Hansen. They attack her now. At their peril. The trouble with Trump was that he didn't learn to lie, B4 taking office. He was attacked by the CRATS, from the 1st day that he was sworn in. "I never had sexual relations with that woman.". Now. Who said that?
Ann T4 year ago
Surely, John, you are not serious when you said that Trump “didn’t learn to lie B4 taking office.” Cheating on three wives? Tax returns? How about his claim that he saw “thousands of people celebrating on rooftops” on 9-11? How about his claim that his people were bringing back evidence from Hawaii that Barack Obama was not born in the US? Remember when he said he was “smarter than all the generals”? The list goes on and on, John. He has told some whoppers, before and after the election.
Kevin O'Neill4 year ago
John, your comments suggest that you are are a follower of Pauline Hanson who, like Trump and Clive Palmer, became an elected politician simply because it was novel and many Australian voters felt disenfrancised by the two major parties. Now in the years later Clive is done and gone and Pauline is down to just herself in Federal Parliament. Why? Because the fun for the voters is over. So it will be in America. At least Pauline Hanson and Clive Palmer and their stupidity hasn't caused the deaths of nearly 300,000 Australians. You will get over Trump as will 70 million Americans. The rest of us, both Australians and Americans, will continue to nurture our democratic rights.

Barry Ellsworth4 year ago
No Jem, Americans did not vote Trump in because they were tired of old "play the part" presidents. They voted him in because they have a significant population of gullible, stupid citizens. The underbelly of stupidity was thus exposed with his election, and the pool of stupidity was a lot deeper than previously thought. Why else would 80 percent of Republicans believe it when Trump said the election was stolen from him, that it was rigged?
Americans barely passed the IQ test by electing Biden this fall, but still 50 million cast ballots to return the worst and most dangerous American president in history to the White House. As I said, stupid. Yes, there are intelligent Americans, but their numbers are much lower than previously thought.
Thanks, Trump, for turning over the stone and showing us how many Americans are just ignorant, stupid, gullible clods. Thanks to the author of this piece for pointing out how degrading is the man called Trump.

Sadly, it seems the same can be said for many people. He certainly has flaws. Speaking and acting the so called part does no good if the person is only acting the role. He did just as much for our country as other presidents. Take an honest look at everything. Judge the whole book, not just the cover. It's obvious that people were tired of the years of the same old "play the part" presidents and that is why Trump was voted in. His message was different and people liked it, until he went too far. Maybe something can be learned from this by both sides? Try to find the good in everyone and even if you don't like what you see or hear, do your part and show respect.

This was a very well-written article that sadly captures the dysfunction of our current (but not for long) Commander-in-Chief. Donald Trump would be a pathetic figure had he not achieved the highest office in our land. He once said he was the "chosen one". I thought that was awful until I had an epiphany. He is the chosen one. He was chosen by the universe to show Americans how low we can go. We have dumbed down our society with mindless entertainment (Some people really think Maury gives a crap who Sally Jo's real baby-daddy is.), poor quality education that does not encourage critical thinking (11th graders with fill-in-the blanks worksheets in class) and social media that discourages accountability. No wonder we are ripe for the con artist that claims to make America great again. International scammers make billions off of gullible Americans, so why are we surprised when a home-grown scammer can build a "base" of blind followers. It was disheartening to see that half of the country chose to ride the "Trump train" in 2020. If they do not wake up to his game, we may all wake up in the clutches of despots like Putin.

Trump fills a gaping but invisible void in millions of resentful Americans who feel ignored, put upon, left behind. Left behind by whom? By the compassionate, the thoughtful, the educated. Like Hitler, he cleverly exploits that smoldering resentment and fans it to full flame. He understands those people because he is one of them. Yes, he has (inherited) money, and lives well, but that has not saved him. At heart he is a soulless, resentful, spiteful, and lonely human being, a cowering, friendless, loveless shell who is still terrified of his late sociopathic father. Men like Trump punish the world for their own inner demons. They destroy and kill. They know no other way.

Wonderfully said. Not just spot on, a direct hit. Not just as an American but just as a reasonably intelligent human being, it perplexes and appalls me that this individual has created the base following that seems to exist. Most of it appears to be made up of those single-minded individuals that believe one race or religion is better than the rest, a line of thinking that is archaic as the flintlock. His accusations are all based on accusations and signed affidavits - but not yet a shred of solid evidence of any malfeasance by anyone, anywhere. What I feel is driving all of this as he takes his lasts, desperate swing at the Governor of Georgia to “ask” him to get the votes changed, is the fact that he will be up to his orange chin in litigation from former apartment building tenants, the City & State of New York, as well as the IRS and he no longer will have a hidden door to duck out. Why? Because he finally got what he has always wanted - the world’s undivided attention. For him, it couldn’t have happened at the worst time; for the rest of us, we may finally get the truth for a change. His family has been playing the shill game with money for so long, it appears that the Trump House of Cards is about to meet a mighty breeze.

I’m a retired American and TOTALLY agree with all of this! This pretty much covers the description of this awful man-child! A straight jacket, as well as duct tape across his mouth is something that’s been needed since even the first time he was elected! I’m fearful of what’s taking place as we speak from him and his followers!

Best comment: Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

I, as an older American, am truly appalled at the number of my fellow citizens who admire and condone the behavior of this evil, racist, bigoted, truly flawed individual. It is as though he held up a mirror to hell and we can see all its denizens leering back at us.

Speaking as an American ... this is spot on. One of the best short summaries of Trump I've seen! Not necessarily the worst of his traits, but the one that stands out for me, is his utter lack of humor, so I'm glad it's mentioned in a bit of detail here. Believe me, over half the American citizenry do profoundly believe Trump is a depraved degenerate. A man with not one single redeeming quality. To me, his very existence is utterly humiliating for America. His inexplicable continuing popularity with some 45% of the population is nothing less than terrifying.

Finally someone who actually sees him for who he truly is. I am so totally baffled by the people who listen and watch him and can't see him for who he is. Now the Senators, they support this liar and all of his dastardly deeds. They should either do the right thing or get voted out office. I hope that all the people sending him money to support his election fraud allegations, can laugh when they realize it was all a hoax and a waste of money, because he was the only one trying to steal the election.

Basically, you read him exactly as he is. He scammed me for $40k in the 90s. Who went bankrupt TWICE in the casino business then? Trump is a brilliant scam artist. That's his only successful career. He has never owned a successful business with his own money. Those who still support him are STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!! I'm tired of being tactful about you morons. He just scammed you for $200,000,000. He's not running again. HE CAN'T, WON'T PASS A SECURITY CLEARANCE, you idiots. He's taking the money and running wherever. Likely to jail.

The Character of the politician is only the mask you see- What they make the people believe - People are vacuous if they can’t see beyond the politicians mask - these same people would rather go to a Surgeon who is kind and understanding with not so great of a track record but can sell his services .. rather than take the surgeon who’s skills are superb but who is socially inept - it’s called seeing the real picture and going beyond the personality- Politicians are like Covet Narcissists . They’ll poke you in the eye and make you believe you did it .. oh and sell you the Brooklyn bridge too! It not so much the character of the person - but the job they have done - Not everyone will be kind or a people person to do a good job especially in business - it’s to the point - Come on to the USA - everything is free - this is Why most all countries love it - you do not have to prove your married when you come over you get double the benefits for free on the tax payers money .. than if you worked your here your whole life ... the people who are poor have no rights suffer more than anyone can imagine ... so many homeless hungry poor .. the country is goin grown fast by all the crooked politicians pocketing the tax payers money - government in America Only makes their friends very rich - for years - I pitty the other Nations that don’t see this ..

Stan Pohl4 year ago
This piece of shit is trying to convince people that the side that supports looting, burning buildings, destroying history, race baiting, silencing opposition, killing and defunding police, baby killing, gender denial, corrupt media propaganda, destruction of Christianity, crime and drug infestation is the superior side. Having been to London and seen the deterioration over the last decade he might focus his addled mind and condescension and arrogance on his side of the pond. His so-called British sensibility is nothing but the result of the demise of a great empire where the subjects are cowed by their own corrupt history of abuse of other races to build what they have. His ego of his own superiority clouds his mind and all of the liberal cultural megaphones and educational systems have penetrated his psychology to the point that he can not longer think for himself and arrogance is the vestige of the fool.
Jimmy C4 year ago
I just love how you assume the author who has simply stated his observations and opinion of Trump automatically supports "looting, burning buildings, etc............." and all the rest of that crap you wrote. Thank you for letting me ponder your intellect. It was very entertaining.
Ann T4 year ago
Stan, all that crap that you wrote in your first sentence... that’s exactly what Trump has trained his uneducated “I don’t need no stinkin’ facts” base to believe. NOBODY here has said they support looting and burning. Biden himself said very strongly that he is against it. Biden is also against defunding the police, when Trump and his loony cronies want you to believe that “defund” means to get rid of the police departments altogether! Nobody is trying to destroy
Christianity, but the separation between church and state must be observed.
And if you want the perfect representation of “addled mind and condescension and arrogance,” read your own post first before you cast stones.
I agree with “Jimmy C” above. The Trump base is making themselves look more and more insane every day. Unfortunately, our amusement has to end with the drastic responses (death threats) by the base to those election officials who are doing their job to ensure the votes are fair and legal. Just because the Trump base doesn’t like the results, they seem to believe that everyone who stands up for the truth, whether it’s a certified poll worker or the Republican Governor of Georgia, should be subjected to ridicule and death threats. It’s insane, and it starts with Trump himself and his shameless, endless, childish, and inflammatory tweets. Anyone who sees Trump becoming completely unhinged for the whole world to see and STILL thinks he should be re-elected, is out of their minds.

Trouble is, many Americans know T**** is a piece of s***, but they voted for him anyway, because they believed he would be able to overturn Row v. Wade.
They would hand over their country to a narcissistic wannabe fascist dictator demagogue draft dodging poltroon, for the chance of stripping a woman of her legal right to choose to have an abortion.
They know T**** is a horrible person. They know he would burn the country to the ground to save his own a**. They know he is doing everything in his power to shred the Constitution. They know he is a habitual liar, a conman, a grifter, a pervert, an adulterer, a self righteous self absorbed s***hole of a human being. They know T**** is the worst president in American history.
They know. And yet, they’re willing to let him continue to destroy the country - for the off chance he would ban abortions.
Not just a fringe few. Tens of millions of Americans voted for T**** because he claims to be “pro-life.”

Oh good God. Trump has failed in so many ways that the list is long. His unneeded tax cut added trillions ultimately to the debt. Mismanagement and disinformation (lies) about covid killed thousands and cost him his te election. His make Mexico pay for the walk is a joke. His goal of repairing infrastructure has simply not happened. Our airports are still a national embarrassment. China and Japan are killing us with high speed mag level trains that may end up traveling at 600 mph making domestic air travel obsolete. His cabinet picks like Betsy DeVos are a disgrace. He had the highest turnover and most conflicted cabinet we have ever seen. Count the fired. He plays golf instead of doing the nations business. Will not support masking and urges people to reject safety measures. A climate denier for his entire term insisting it will get colder. No basis in Science. Read Rage and comment after you have read Donald’s own words. He is all about Trump and no one else. And he regularly takes trips to his golf resorts and Mara Laga charging the Govt $650 a night for secret service rooms. Disgrace. Has never released his tax returns because he is under audit which is not an excuse. He has lied at least 23,000 times. Insults foreign leaders Truly this man is simply not smart. He hid is college records so no one can see his poor performance. And on an on. Glad he is soon gone and maybe we can make some progress in the next 4 years.

Actually Trump has done way more than Obama for people of his nation. Obama gave stimulus $ to failing companies like Chrysler, Bank of America (who never helped small businesses in need), and terrorist country of Iran... Trump issued checks to US citizens.... he filtered out the bad immigrants just like Canada does, yet he got nothing but bad publicity from something very important that he brought to our attention “fake news” our brain washing no facts all emotions news stories and fake Chinese propaganda. Point being, he made promises and kept them unlike any other slime ball president, and yes he’s not as sleek as other crooks before him, but his policies were to protect a nation from one world order mindset that will kill all cultures and individuality

But in any case, 3 or 4 years from now he’ll be languishing inside a NY jail, but pretty sure he’ll be given a tablet or whatever, so he can follow the election from a VERY safe distance—-iinfact they ought to throw away the keys!

In short, all western democratic countries get another chance to reboot with America, on January 20, 2021, so let’s all stop pointing fingers at short comings of our current leaders and join hands and go to work strengthening our democratic values and protecting our way of life from the threat of communism 🇷🇺🇨🇳and their despot leaders.

Well that is what a British person would say. Most people dont like his rambles. But it is his heart people dont know. Never will!!!!!
You see a limo had a flat tire blocking traffic. Most people were angry. But this one guy in a pick up truck stopped to help. He spoke to the driver of the limo. 2 hours before a tow could com an fix the tire. The pick-up driver changed the tire. Whe he finished the person in the back got out asked what he could pay him. He refused anything offered. The man simply asked his nam and drove off.
The next morning the pick-up drivers wifs office was full of flowers. That evening there was a knock at the door. The pick-up guy hit the floor when he heard that his mortgage was paid in full.
You see the man in the back seat was the owner of the mortgage. And completely forgave it in full.
His name was Donald Trump.
Sure he is mouthy and rude at times. But he has a heart and is compassionate .
Regardless of your feelings about him Trump loves America... do you????

Sorry, Jim. You’ve been had. That is an urban legend, never proved, and the sketchy details kept getting sketchier. For example, the supposed recipient of this random act was never identified.
It’s pretty sad when Trump fans have to use a 25-year-old unverified claim to try and paint Trump as a man with heart and compassion. The same man who puts vpchildren in cages after separating them from their parents. The same man who did NOTHING about bounties on US soldiers’ heads. The man who calls soldiers who died for our country “losers.” The man who mocks disabled people, and grabs women’s private parts because he feels entitled to do so. The same man who fired tear gas at peaceful protesters so that he could hold a Bible upside down for a photo op in front of a church. A man who cheated on his pregnant wives.

If you want to understand the inner mechanics of how Trump lures the masses, here's a deep analysis that can't just be dismissed - it's demonstrated and can be verified. Excerpt:
"A younger Trump, according to his first wife’s divorce filings, kept and studied a book translating and annotating Adolf Hitler’s pre-World War II speeches in a locked bedside cabinet, Neuborne noted. The English edition of My New Order, published in 1941, also had analyses of the speeches’ impact on his era’s press and politics. “– Ugly and appalling as they are, those speeches are masterpieces of demagogic manipulation,” Neuborne says."

Just shows how easily this can happen. There is so much hate in our country, that it will take years to heal it.
I Don't LIKE Trump Either4 year ago
I agree that Trump has a TERRIBLE personality, but I can easily name several of his accomplishments, things he promised to do when he ran for office: He got the USA out of many one-sided deals/agreements made by previous administrations that helped the other countries far more than the American people. He got us out of paying for the military in Europe when many countries over there were barely even paying for it themselves. He's almost done having the wall built. He facilitated an agreement that nobody believed could ever happen between Israel and the UAE. He gave more money to historically black colleges than any other president in history. And I can list many more from memory. Again, yes, I agree he is a pompous ass. But he has done what I mentioned above and so much more in only four years.
I ask Biden supporters/voters to tell me what HE has ACCOMPLISHED in his 47 years in office, and why they would vote for him. Occasionally someone will say “OBAMACARE” like it was his doing. That aside, I have yet to get any response other than "he's not Trump", unless they take a minute to Google it on their phones to get some suggestions. Yes, Biden is a nice guy, and nice is SO much more important than accomplishments to the majority of the US citizens. And if your estimate of who dislikes Trump on the other side of the pond is correct, words are more importation than actions there too. But I have friends over there in the UK and in Germany who tell me over and over how they wish someone like Trump would be elected in the EU and actually fix some of the major issues there.
I will say that if I wanted someone to spend a weekend with at the beach, or to have drinks and dinner with, I'd choose that nice guy Biden hands down. But when it comes to actually GETTING THINGS DONE in the face of all the opposition, attempts at impeachment, and overall hatred coming from the media and Democrats, someone to protect me and the interests of all my fellow US citizens, I'll take President Trump every time.
And to those who say he did a horrible job at handling COVID-19, just remember Biden, de Blasio and Pelosi told people to go party in the streets when Trump initially tried to take action. So let's just think how much worse it would and how many more people would be dead if the democrats would have been leading the effort.
Ann T4 year ago
Although all of your post comes directly from the Horse’s Ass and his flunkies, the most outrageous comment is your proclamation that Covid would be so much worse if the Democrats were in charge! What baseless and/or highly exaggerated comments by Trump led you to believe THAT piece of insanity? Fact: The Obama administration warned Trump that a future devastating pandemic could possibly occur, and they created a plan and protocol and GAVE IT TO TRUMP’S flunkies, who at first denied that they had ever received it. Trump had the terrible facts about Covid and didn’t tell the American people about it! He downplayed it so much that even after a quarter of a million people have died, there are STILL brain-dead morons who believe this is all a hoax because Trump said it was, and Trump shamelessly mocks the wearing of masks as the best prevention for catching the virus? I bet NEWSMAX or OAN or FOX News won’t tell you about the big jump in Covid cases after Trump’s shameless campaign rallies in October. It’s the deranged Republican Congress members who backed up Trump’s stupidity, not the Democrats! Biden did NOT downplay the virus, nor did Pelosi, in spite of Trump’s exaggerations and lies.
That’s all Trump has left. Lies, lies, and more lies.

Ruth4 year ago
This has got to be the sickest, most despicable thing I have ever read... this man has worked day and night for the American people.. the accomplishments he has made for the country is amazing while confronted with the daily struggle when the media and opposition was against him on a daily basis, this man has taken on the struggle to clean the deep swamp and the cabal from all the ruthless, corruption, child trafficking crap that is going on in the deep state. He can’t be bought and will not cave to their ways, he has his own money and has not taken a penny of wages for his time in office and this angers the crap out of them. Even before he stepped a foot in the White House they were already plotting his demise by way of impeachment, Russian collusion and other scandals of which millions of tax payer dollar were spent trying to take him down and In turn it was all lies and deceit on their part... there was nothing. Then they brought on the COVID and riots to turn the people against him... this man had to face and fight each day.... how would you react if you were confronted each day like this???
He has done more for the USA then any other politician.. and you think a man like Biden is able to?? This man has dementia so bad he can’t even form a proper sentence, he is a corrupt, blackmailing, plageristic, pedophile... in his 47 yrs in political office his only achievement was to introduce a bill to lock up blacks. He is so racist... he didn’t want his kids going to school with blacks, he even said if you don’t vote for me you ain’t black.... and more... look it up.
In 1998 he tried to run for president and was made to step down because of plagurisim... he can’t give a speech without lying or plagiarizing someone... he quoted Winston Churchill and JF Kennedy in speeches as his own.
The fraud and cheating in this election is sickening... the ballots brought in after the deadline, dead people voting, more ballots counted in counties then there were registered voters, ballot harvesting, people being paid to steal other people’s ballots, ballots found dumped in garbage bins, people voting in other states plus their own, the ballot counting machines software changing vote counts from one candidate to the other.... they have sworn affidavits from hundreds of people that have seen the fraud going on...it’s sickening and then this is a fair and accurate vote??... how can any one with a clear conscience think they have won an election when all this crap has gone on. If this doesn’t get investigated I don’t care what party it is... this fraud needs to be brought to the forefront as there will never be a clear and fair election anywhere in the world... and I don’t blame President Trump for investigating this as he is the only one that has the guts to do this. He is a people’s President.... his rallies brought out 40,000 -50,000 people each time so you aren’t going to tell me this man lost the election.... this only happened by cheating and fraud.
Even if the Dems manage to steal this election.... President Trump is still the people’s President
Getting off my soap box now.

Poor Ruth. Your man lost. He has golfed more per 4 year term than any other President. He was born in the swamp and knows no other medium. He brought COVID19 to the US and chose to ignore it and still does as he golfs. His days as President are quickly sliding away, legally. No theft, no fraud, just people that realize T**** is a fraud. Imagine how hated a person has to be to get the votes his boring competitor received, legally.

Perfect description of a miserable excuse for a man. How did he ever get elected? The unique American Electoral College winner take all system, plain and simple. It is appalling that almost half the electorate voted to re-elect him. Maybe the solution is to acknowledge that the gulf between the relatively liberal east and west coasts vs the very conservative dixieland and heartland of the USA is too large to bridge, and we should agree to an amiable divorce. Go back to two countries, as was tried in 1861-1865; but without the ruinous war. It could work!

Thank you for your observation of Donald Trump. Sadly I have to agree with you. I don't understand the people that voted for him. I voted for the other guy only to vote against Trump. I call myself a democrat but I don't believe in everything they stand for yet I don't believe in the Republican party either. Not all Americans like Trump, my self included. I didn't like him from day one. You are so spot on with what you said about him.
Camilla Krone.4 year ago
The appeal of Trump for those who support this pitiful excuse for a man - and much less for a president - is that he hates who they hate. He hates people of color, he hates strong women, and women in general. He hates immigrants. He hates Muslims. He hates the boogeymen many southern men especially have conjured up to blame for their loss of wealth and status. What these don’t see is that mining coal is not a job for the 21st century. They don’t see that Black Americans and other people of color, immigrants, and women didn’t take their jobs away. Those jobs were already gone and it takes a good education —often a university degree—to land a good job in today’s economy. Trump voters who call themselves Christians don’t relate in any way to the teachings of Christ. They think that Christianity means that White men will have the most money and power, and many of them would not attend a church that has Black, LatinX or immigrant parishioners. Mostly, people who vote for Trump are afraid of change. They don’t want to find ways to qualify themselves for the 21st century job market. They’re just looking for people to blame for the fact that they have fallen on hard financial times because they don’t accept change and, above all, don’t want to step outside of their comfort zone. Finally, public schools on the US are paid for in part by Federal funds, in part by state funds, and in part by local property taxes. The latter, especially, means that wealthy areas have the best schools, while less affluent areas have schools that tend not to perform very well and that aren’t teaching with the ideal of preparing students for higher education.
There are a couple of other types of Trump supporters. They are billionaires who want to pay less than their fare share in taxes, as well as voters who are not rich, but imagine that they will be rich someday and feel that they should not have to pay taxes if they someday earn millions of dollars. This latter group is made up of those who are the very least likely to strike it rich because they are among the least well educated. They are also those who tend to dream about or even feel entitled to wealth without training or talent. And they are gullible enough to believe that Trump actually cares about people, and not just about wealth and power.
Donald Trump makes it clear that he sees the non-billionaires who vote for him as “suckers” and “losers,” which is also the way he thinks of Americans who serve in the military; those who didn’t have the means to be a draft-dodger like he was during the Vietnam War and even more so, those who could have avoided military service, but who chose to serve for love of their country.
Trump is really the biggest loser. He has no empathy because he was taught that only money and power can make a person truly happy. What’s surprising is that he looks in the mirror and sees a happy man. What he mistakes for happiness is greed, putting himself before others, and cheating “losers,” such as the people who contract to do work for him and find that they then have to pay money to litigate for a small percentage of the amount Trump had agreed to pay when he made a contract with them. The perverse pleasure Trump takes in cheating, lying, and having a beautiful woman on his arm even if she is a mistress he pays or a young third wife who, like him, only in it for the money.

It’s like I’ve been watching this country disintegrate in slow motion for the past four years, with everything coming to a head as the piece of trash leaves Americans to go homeless, go hungry, go bankrupt, oh and maybe die from COVID since he LEADS Americans to believe that it’s a hoax. Thank you, Nate, for an honest evaluation of our sociopathic, garbage “president”. If we do (or don’t) make it out of this alive, please know there are a LOT of good hearted people here too. I don’t know how he got so many votes this time around, because I can’t believe there are that many racist, misogynistic, bigoted idiots running around in this country. I’m scared to believe it.

As bad as I think some British leaders have been, I would not comment on them. I respect another country's right to put stupid, dumb, power hungry, leaders into office. I know this nation has a lot of make up to do. Like all Nations we had a very hard lesson to learn. Yes, I still ague with those who see this person, as their leader. I know a con man when I see one. I dealt with that type of person for years. As much as I agree with the author, I believe that again, not their country.

Your response is surprising since you are not a Trump supporter. This man has impacted every country on the planet. According to the Council on Foreign Relations Trump’s policies are mixed but some are better than others, or worse. This report grades him in 2019; I’m not so sure about 2020 as he seems determined to undermine all of the existing policies of the US before he leaves office. In my view he has not made the world a better place, and anyone in any country has a right to speak their opinion about this Despot. https://www.cfr.org/sites/default/files/report_pdf/CSR%2084_Blackwill_Trump.pdf

Donald Trump has made a mockery of democracy, civility, morality and truth.
He is supported in the United States Senate by a selection of spineless, bigoted cronies who care nothing about the their country and all that it stands for.
Led by Moscow Mitch who on the day that President Obama was elected swore and maintained that not only would Obama not get any legislation passed but he was going to make him a one term President.
White America could not come to terms with a black man whose integrity and intellect was so blatantly superior to theirs. To this day they refuse to acknowledge that Obama created the economic turnaround after Bush left office, that he was instrumental in the unemployment rate being so low by the millions of jobs that were created during his tenure.
WAKE UP AMERICA, the world’s populations are becoming more and more diverse. Accept it or don’t, it’s happening.
You came close to falling into the Abyss America, you’re still not quite out of the woods yet. You still have a few good men with moral compass who won’t let the Trumps of this world defile you. Soon you’ll be able to lift your head again and reassume your place of honor on the World Stage.

As an American (who voted for Biden), I understand why 47% of US voters supported Trump. Some did it because they are as dumb as posts and resent the educated (who strongly supported Biden). Trump won the dumbest among us by a wide margin. Religious fanatics overwhelmingly supported Trump, despite the fact he represents the 7 deadly sins. Why you ask? Because he appoints right wing theocrats to the courts. Selfish jerks like Trump because, to be rather blunt, he’s one of them. Finally, many Americans are white nationalists. Trump won all of them.

I find everything you say about Donald Trump to be absolutely baseless. You have had your deep bias fuelled, without you even being aware of it, by the MSM’s endless lies and drivel. The MSM have used the DDDCR code of Marxist propaganda to declare again and again fabrications, untruths, half-truths, opinion as opposed to fact, and deliberate obfuscation of what was said or done by Donald Trump, to completely annihilate his character, his work ethic and his accomplishments as President. People at rallies booming out again and again, ‘We love you’, is a true testimony to what he has achieved in his presidency and how his policies have been received by ordinary Americans. The policies that have impacted the lives of those whom the president serves is an outstanding legacy. His policies are the policies of freedom for all - and you would see that if you had not been so totally blinded by MSM propaganda and the rhetoric of elitist politicians whose policies did nothing to improve the lot of the majority of Americans. Because Donald Trump was able to achieve so much during his presidency in all areas of society- be it financial, educational, health, foreign policy etc etc., it would have been wonderful to see what he could have achieved if he had not been constantly hindered by the political ‘revenge’ that Hilary Clinton & co & sections of the self-interest establishment & globalists perpetrated against him, endlessly, with the aid of the MSM, and Democrat Governors who enabled violence, murder, theft & destruction of ordinary Americans’ property to be played out in major cities in Democrat states. There is also the despicable actions of some Democrat Govs who put COVID patiences in old people’s homes, causing the deaths of thousands of vulnerable elderly citizens. Then there is the endless deaths of babies from abortion, loudly supported by Democrats & Bidenites. Democrats symbolise the culture of death and will bring in policies that will take-way freedoms and justice and reason. But because you have been ‘listening’ with ‘twitching ears’ to those Marxist, elitist voices, you can no longer discern what is right in front of you. Go on- I dare you to look up the pages that outline all of the policies and processes and successful outcomes that Donald Trump has achieved. Compare them to ANY other president’s achievements and you will see that they don’t come close. He has worked tirelessly for the American people to bring back fair government under the Constitution. Educate yourself by doing some sincere research, by turning off the MSM’s bs and then maybe you may have a chance for the ‘scales’ to fall from your eyes. Unreasoned hatred of someone whom you do not know, whose story you have not observed with objective reason and truth, is what leads to division. You have done what you were trained to do by the MSM and their corporate bosses, spearheaded by self-interested politicians and globalists.

well you just affirmed whats wrong with the followers of this toddler in chief.... commplete and utter ignorance of factes of the last 4 years in this country, he brought to his knees and brink of tearing this democracy to shreds.

It would have been more impactful if you had listed his achievements and benefits to the ordinary Americans. One major issue with his supporters and the guy himself is their inability to communicate succinctly without insulting or using foul language. Why are you guys always violently angry? One can still have a different view without being violent.
Sincerely he must have had a great impact on your people for millions to have voted for him again. Please list his achievements because the COVID death rate in your country is telling a different story. At some point, you guys affirmed the Dems inflicted the virus on citizens.
The other fearful part is the way people are unable to decipher the truth from lies flow smoothly from lies phew!

Dear Wisdom, How sad that you have been unable to see through the smoke and mirrors. Your country has never had such a bad leader, but still can think he has done such a grand job. Please let us all know what he has done for you, that makes you so sure he should be your President for another four years. Are rich or poor, have you got good health care or none, a large family or no family, do you live in a city or the country. How old is your car, how old are you, are you white or black, your age would be a help to understand were you are coming from, are you male or female? That should be it for now. Maybe just one more question have always voted?? or have you mist out from time to time. Somehow I doubt you have read the book of Wisdom from the Hebrew testament.

The description of Trump is definitely detailed and correct. What boggles my mind is the other half of the country supports him which is totally illogical. We are no longer thee "United States" we have become a "disunited" nation and I wonder what will be the future of this nation.
Jerard Newton4 year ago
Yes Trump is arrogant, blustery, out-spoken, crude. But one doesn’t become a multi-millionaire in New York City by being charming, or witty, or beguilingly clever like Barry Obama. Trump did what he said he would do - created a wildly successful economy, which has the Dow up 20,000 points, even during a pandemic. Had the lowest unemployment rate in 40 years. Cleaned up and streamlined a failed VA system for Veterans. Forced NATO allies to financially support their own defense. Took on the corrupt Chinese Communist party for decades of ruthless intellectual property theft. Initiated an unprecedented scientific effort to get a vaccine for Covid and with startling success. Not that he will get credit for any of that.
His crime was defeating the Left’s queen-in-waiting, Miss Hillary. Apparently, the American people found him more to their liking than her. But the socialist liberal media, big tech, and career democrats hated him for winning. As far as his America First agenda, I want to know which British Prime Minister has put forth a Britian First program ? None that I know since maybe Churchill. So to read this opinionated drek from Mr. White is just another slobbering reminder of why Britain will never succeed in becoming relevant.

Trump is not a self-made man. He inherited his father's wealth, which he has squandered to the point of now being so massively in debt that he'll never break free. What kind of "successful businessman" manages to bankrupt a gambling casino? He represents, frankly, everything that is wrong in the United States today. Literally *everything* that is wrong here. He is a stupid man's idea of a smart man. And if you like or admire him, then you, too, represent the worst of humanity.

Jim Cook4 year ago
And, he is the poor man's idea of a rich man. People often say he has captured the American working class. This is not true, since most Blacks, Asians, Latinos, and Native Americans are working class and they voted overwhelmingly against him. The only part of the working class that loves Donald Trump is the White working class (and by no means all of them). What distinguishes that group is racism and Trump has gone way beyond the usual Republican "dog whistles" of racism. He uses a huge bullhorn and makes no pretense of it. The White working class eats that up.

Your nailed it! I'm an expat from Spain; I've lived in the USA for over 50 years and have dual citizenship. It pains me to see the damage this aberrant species (won't call him human, because he isn't) has inflicted on the country. But I'm far more concerned and embarrased that over 70 million Americans still voted for him: despite his cruelty and constant lies, despite his ignorance that has made us the laughingstock of the world, despite his not honoring and pulling out of so many international agreements; despite his incompetence and lack of leadership and missmanagement of COVID leading to thousands of unnecessary deaths and an economy in shambles and massive unemployment. I can only reach the sad conclusion that they voted for him despite all the above for one single reason: because they hate the same people he hates: the educated, liberals, progressive thinking individuals of all races and national origins, immigrants, capable/assertive women, minorities, etc.

A very accurate description of Trump s o eloquently written. Kudous to the writer.
If i may add,the Republicans who enabled him so they could hold on to power are not only exposed for who they trult are ,but are worst than he is.
They conspired with him to tear down America's democracy creating a more dangerous society for thier own children ,grandchildren and many others.
Just watch the hypocritical corrupted,disgusting power grabbing Republicans stall and obstruct Biden for trying to bring normalcy,e.pathy and decency back to America.

I think he not only did not dominate the world, he could not even control his part of the government. How many of he=is orders were never carried out by his skeptical staff. There are a couple of strong men in his government who get done what they want. These men's actions are not in support of Trump but in support of themselves and their own beliefs. The fact that these men have accomplished things that Trump supposedly wanted is coincidental.

Leo Anthony4 year ago
I don't think we can sheath all the blame on Donald Trump for what has become of democracy in the US; much of the blame must fall on the Republican Party. Their credo over the years has been of apportioning blame for 'America's ills' on the stratum below. I.e. The Rich get progressively wealthier by finding ways to maximize their incomes, they look to like-minded Politicians to argue their view & find them, including paying the least amount of percentage tax; the Middle class are sold the message that their taxes are going to the Poor; the Poor feel their positioning for scarce jobs is undermined by the 'illegal immigrant' competition. Indeed even the 'illegal immigrant' feels that date of their arrival gives them 'tenure' over those who arrived after them! Why is this so? Because Republican Politics prefers this model - it's 'competitive stratum fear'. African - Americans have known this for generations. Demonize a group of people, then actively campaign against them for a stereotype that was created for them. I am sure that the Trump supporters demanding recounts, are partially buoyed by the fact that the news coverage appeared to show mainly people of colour engaged in the Vote Counting, and hence voter fraud. Hey this is the land where they believe Jesus wasn't a Jew & the Earth is younger than 10,000 years old!
Perhaps Obama should share some of the blame; there were so many expectations of him, but he just could not deliver. Perhaps he could have signed a few more 'executive orders'? In between the golfing, Donald Trump seemed to occasionally manage it!

And I clutch at my heart and at all my ideas of what makes sense and I say can this really be the kind of person we have put in the White House and look to for leadership. For there is certainly no leadership coming from a first-class Bully, and no example shown in our time of National Need. It just breaks your Heart that this man let us down, that he was unable to raise to the occasion that called for warm guidance and direction with a purpose. It's horrible that the President of the United States of America turned his office into a TV show of clowns, that he did not understand our governmental system and just believed it was to be all about him. The fact that when it wasn't all about Trump then he turned into a nasty old man.
God Bless America that he will be gone and let us hope that all Republicans will realize that they are far better off without him. Let's hope that the likes of Mitch McConnell will go forth with some leadership and mutual understanding that America has some serious problems to solve that call for serious solutions and problem solving.
And I approve this message.

Easy answer . . a majority of Americans look to the Constitution as our guide, value faith and exercising our religious liberties, protect the life of the unborn, and desire policies that truly address and help issues and people groups. Educate yourself on policy and not people’s perceived personalities!!!!!! That is how most voted. As a follower of Jesus my future hope is not the result of this election. I will be at peace and joyful regardless, and will honor and be thankful if my candidate doesn’t get in. But a majority of Americans want to know the election was fair and legal.

You will notice, in NF's post, that many of Trump's followers are exactly as shallow as he is! There is NEVER a semblance of common sense to their way of thinking, it is all attack, Attack, ATTACK!! They are like lemmings who will follow their leader right off the cliff!
Fortunately, the majority of American people are wiser and acted in a way that showed the world how WE really truly felt .about him being a Representative of America!!
We were NOT fooled by his rhetoric. That we were angry at his insensitivity and lack of couth, when he was on the public stage. His poor command of the English language embarrassed us to the point that we practically cringed every single time he spoke. And, he infuriated us because of his refusal to even acknowledge the seriousness of Climate Change, the Pandemic, the alienation of Our Allies and friends, and the danger of his coziness with our adversaries. NO! We saw him as an emotionally retarded, undereducated , irresponsible man!

Nate White, you are spot on!! Brilliant article. However I would like to address NF. It seems he has a personal problem with Mr. White as his comments which should have been about the subject matter "Trump" were all directed at the writer. NF we see why you are a Trump supporter, you hit below the belt, you've missed the point, you're uninformed, and you've used this platform to vent your personal issues with the writer which it was not intended for. It's really difficult to understand anyone's support of Trump. I suppose even the devil has his followers.
Dominik4 year ago
Yes, but now this Trump coverage really must start to subside. He benefits from negative attention nearly as much as from praise.
I think most of those 70 million that voted for him will soon quiet down when the Donald looses his media coverage. They will occasionally check his tweets but they will know that these have become inconsequential. I hope he will widely be regarded as what he is, an accident in history and an impeached one term ex-President.
NF4 year ago
Well Nate White, now I see how stupid you really are. I guess all those drugs you took in college has really paid off for you. So, while you're soaking your mind in more dope, let me teach you a thing or two. Had you done a minute's worth of research, on anything relating to Trump while he was in office, you'd realize how wrong you are. If you follow American politics at all, you can clearly see the corruption in the Democrat party, and now their latest stunt is to rig the election. Which, I assume you watch that MSM for your news, has lied about what's going on to the world. But you can't figure that all out even though it's right in front of you. Might be time for you to put down the dope, and clear your mind so you can see things clearly.

They had an obligation to report the science, and failed to do so. We also can fault NBC for misleading the US citizens with a show called The Apprentice which gave the appearance that this madman was a sound businessman when in fact he had filed numerous bankruptcies and was named in numerous filings for his failures to pay his vendors. The media was complicit in the rise of this madman and they should be held responsible for the aftermath.

Not the least of which is the quarter of a million, and counting, of my fellow countrymen and women he has sacrificed on his "Altar of Ego and Vanity." Trump defenders are part of the, "But What About..." deflectors, defending Trump by comparing him to other political leaders. Trump is grotesquely unique in the annals of modern American politics.

I think the reason so many support them is that they with vote their party or they are just sheep who want to follow snd will believe whatever they are told without investigating and thinking for themselves. It comes from fear of change and admitting their own belief system could be wrong. They hold on to old outdated ideals and behaviors because it’s comfortable and the norm. I hate that all Americans are getting the bad rap that we somehow agree or go along with it. This has been the worst 4 years of our lives and a dark cloud has hung over us the entire time. We have been in a state a of depression and have felt helpless and scared. The election of Joe Biden has brought light and hope back into our lives. Finally to have an adult back at the helm to help drive our country forward in a positive, thoughtful, ethical and inspired direction. Hopefully the Trumpers will notice that life will now improve for all of us as well as for the world! ☮️

I don't think in future times, they'll look back and say, now who was the worst President in the first 250 years of that place called America, and that there will be a big debate, because it will be the unanimous consent of history that Trump wins the title easily. He will probably also finish in the top 10 for terrible leaders of all time and the top 100 terrible people. Of course, over the course of a couple hundred million more years of history he may fall down in the rankings. As for the people who like this guy, well, they're all going to hell.

Seems like Trump, unable to accept defeat, is now pursuing a scorched earth policy; obstructing, & even ‘destroying’ a normal handover of business/power to his successor; the handover process & practice that’s always been faithfully adhered to, irrespective of political rivalries.
Why, Obama recently commented that when he, a Democrat, took over from Bush jnr., a Republican, the handover could not have been smoother, & Bush jnr could not have been more cooperative; the way it should, & has, always been!
So not only will Trump go down in history as one of the USA’s worst ever Presidents, he’ll also be remembered as being one of the most UNPATRIOTIC, placing his pride & vanity above what is best for the country! SHAME on him!

I am no Christian fanatic; knows the beginning of the 23rd Psalm and mumble the rest! I read 52 every day , and still do until his departure. Everything in that Psalm has played out, except for the last part “death be cometh”! I don’t wish that on anyone but I leave God to deside !

Yes, sadly 70,000,000+ lost soul Americans voted for his form of vision. But 80,000,000 said no more madness!
#NotMyPresident. I did not vote for him! I have taught Emotional Responsibility for 33 years, and this human is no where near fitting that description! He is without humanities. So we all agree with this article, ones who have half a mind.
What of the 70 million folks who do not, refuse to, cannot see all these facts? This is the WHO we live among! This is the most scary of scary bits! As an educator this population is in sore need of education. They missed social studies. Global view training. Consciousness awareness week! Intelligence boot camp! And yet, we must face this breakdown in society head on with education programs on: racism, global consciousness, any consciousness, being their own authority vs seeking it outside themselves, kindness, what makes for an intelligent person, how to include ‘other’, basic decency, and absolutely, manners!
So I see massive teaching/coaching/consulting jobs, programs, curriculums to be designed and birthed in the world, because it isn’t just in America, these issues. It is a human consciousness evolution demand that must take place along side Climate Recovery, Social Reform, Economic Balancing, Judicial Reform, Racial Awareness/reform, Basic Spiritual Infrastructure Building! All systems have run their course, like the roads and bridges, from an olden world into the demands of a modern world need. Global consciousness is paramount. There is no our water, our air, our plot of Earth that will do anymore. Politics aside, we need Conscious Leadership in every single arena! In every single country! Well maybe Bhutan has it right!
So who is with me to co-design educational courses for a better world?

I am an American Women in my 70’s. I knew Trump and understood very early in my 20’s what a horror he was.
I cried and became inconsolable when I heard that he was running for President. There aren’t any words to
explain the pain I felt when I understood “how” he won and that he did not get the majority of votes from
“We The People”. I am, again, hopeful since he lost reelection. I am also saddened by the number of people
who ignorantly voted for him again. We cannot allow the “Trumps” of the world to threaten our Democracy!

Trump was never a politician and after 4 years as President he still will not be a politician. Matter of fact, like all the people who supported and voted for him, he ran because of the continued failures of 'The Politicians" the political establishments and privileged. The question these morons never ask, nor examine , nor explain to people is why and how did Trump defy and beat the Republican Party's Privileged , the Democratic Party , the Pundits and the media and social media in the USA and around the world ? Trump contested and was elected because of the failure of the collective who demeaned, lampooned and ridiculed him from day one. BTW, now that you have Harris/Biden as we did Chaney/Bush , the Brits and many leaches around the world can expect to be let off the hook of their monetary obligations to NATO , UN etc .

He punked down every country in the world, nominated for four Nobel prizes, created the largest economy in the history of the nation. And closed the country when Biden was calling him Covidphobic and shouldn't do it. He saved thousands to millions of American lives while Dem. run citys stuck old people together like Cuomo in New York State to die. We will end up with Biden, who can't remember his name ,and Harris who is more Communist than Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. When you talk about Socialism remember Russia used to be called the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Nazi stood for the National Socialist German Workers Party. Socialism killed over a 100 million of their own people in the 20th Century. Don't forget names like Marx, Lennin, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao just to name a few. There is no such thing as a free lunch. They promise you the world but give the Gulag, a firing squad, or forced labor until your dead. Read BLM's Manifesto, they are unabashedly Communist and have vowed to tear this country down along with ANTIFA and the likes. The videos of the cowards in action are there for all to see. If you think the radical Democrats are going to give you something free for nothing you had better study the history of Socialism/Communism. I don't always agree with Trump or his vocabulary, but I like his actions. He has put money in our pockets and jobs out there for everyone. He also has put America first instead of kickbacks from China for himself and his son, Hunter like Biden. So you get a crook and a commy. I will settle for Trump.

West - Woah there cowboy, before you go running your mouth ... seems you are speaking another language altogether so please allow me to interpret so that the English speaking people can understand properly.
"He punked down every country in the world" = he tried to Bully them - they laughed in his face.
"nominated for four Nobel prizes" = Nominated by bigots, obviously Won fuk-all thanks to decent judges
"created the largest economy in the history of the nation" = Rode the Obama Biden upswing momentum as long as he could before crashing
“closed the country” = Too late to make a difference
“saved thousands to millions of American lives” = West just can’t count!
“Cuomo in New York State” = Save saved thousands of American lives
‘Don't forget names like Marx, Lennin, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao” = Please remember Trump (if if we could forget – even of we wanted to!)
“you had better study the history of Socialism/Communism” = then please tell me how it work because I know Fuk-All.
“He has put money in our pockets” = by stealing from your healthcare, allowing potholes on your roads, cancelling a good Obama Pandemic response plan so that you can die instead, and giving your kids a crappier education”
“He has put America first” = 1st for deaths, 1st for Gun Violence, 1st for racism, 1st for bigotry, 1st for a country divided,1st for kneeling on mans neck so that the world can see how pathetic the US has become,

Ajmal Kabir: And just to remind you, The other 50% of American voter voted for the Democratic candidate. Of which virtually all of them are "PARTY LOYALISTS" and will always vote on party lines.. (ie: Hillary).. I voted for President Trump again. And all though all of what is written is true, that is not what or why we voted for him. We voted for him (and we can argue this till the cows come home, and neither you or I will change each others minds) because of the things he put into place PRIOR to Covid.. He had NO way to combat that.. He's an idiot, and virtually all the time should just shut up and listen to his advisors and say what they tell him to say. Had he, as said in the article, just shut up, he'd have been re-elected again.. He and only he lost this election.
William4 year ago
If you truly believe that he had "no way to combat that" then I'm afraid to say you also live in the alternative reality that his falsehoods, mistruths and lies have created. As Trump stated on the campaign trail, don't believe your eyes, believe my words. As PT Barnum is supposed to have said, a sucker is born every minute. That about sums up everyone who supports this buffoon. Good riddance to the cancer that has infected the country's soul. The kids he placed in cages should be enough to show what a truly hateful and soulless person he really is. And the 250K souls who have perished because he could care less about anyone else only reinforces the point.

Marvin4 year ago
What's missing here regarding his followers and not understanding how 70 plus million could vote for him again after seeing all he has wrought, you have to understand they get their news from Rush, Hannity, Ingraham etc. But we have to understand why they are sucked in by their lies. It's my belief because many of them are upset to be living among Black's, Latinos, Native Americans, Moslems, and Asians. Look at the map and see so many white voters whose states went big for Trump are states that are mostly white, like Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming etc. So without calling them racists though many are, millions of them although not white nationalists don't feel comfortable living among ither culture's and wilk not embrace them, si they voted for a man that gives them hope that he will stop the immigration from those countries that make us a melting pot of people from all over the world. That's what made America Great. These people want to reverse that. Make America Great Again ir the acronym MAGA means a white country of Christians. So unless the 70 plus million become enlightened and lose their fear if the other buy a national outreach of education of opening hearts, we as a nation will be poorer for it and the likes of another Trump more gifted in pulling the wool over our eyes destroying our democracy.

(1) With all due respect to Mr. Nate White, most people in this world for many a reason will disagree with him when he says "Americans are supposed to be nicer than us and mostly they are".
(2) The fact of the matter is that approximately 50% of the American Voters have voted for the Republican Candidate of which most of them are Party Loyalists and have voted on Party lines . A better Republican Candidate would certainly have resulted in an easy re- election for the Republicans into the Presidency.

The issue is not trump. It is those who empower him. I grew up in the rural areas of america, among his people and I know trump is neither new or rare. He is the perfect embodiment of rural americans who when history demands we let go of the failed social construct of white privilege, said no, we support a sociopath who will protect their fragility. I see, work with and are put off daily by these trump'esq cultural cowards and am so glad the virtuous patriot mask has been ripped off and the world can see, through trump how small they, and subsequently we are. Maybe now that the world is no longer enamored with our false bravado, fake rugged toughness and fantasies of infinite wealth, we will be held accountable so we, as a nation can evolve into an authentic, inclusive and dignified society.

Americans ignorantly confuse socialism with "communists".
Americans ignorantly confuse socialism with "socialists".
In reality democracy and socialism work very well side by side. Socialism means that things like healthcare and education are considered a right for all and not to be reserved for the wealthy only. This is where American falls far short and this is why Americans do not nearly enjoy the quality of life that correctly applying good socialism practices within a democracy can bring.
Despite the American propaganda myths, there is very little connection between economic performance and welfare expenditure. Examples are Canada, Denmark and Finland - all more socialistic than America with much higher average quality of life (as measured by US agencies, and US researchers).
Capitalism, socialism, and the physical quality of life: S Cereseto, H Waitzkin
PMID: 2430906 DOI: 10.2190/AD12-7RYT-XVAR-3R2U
Grant support: PE-19154/PE/BHP HRSA HHS/United States
Extract of Abstract:
This study compared capitalist and socialist countries in measures of the physical quality of life (PQL), taking into account the level of economic development.
PQL variables included indicators of health, health services, demographic conditions, and nutrition (infant mortality rate, child death rate, life expectancy, crude death rate, crude birth rate, population per physician, population per nursing person, and daily per capita calorie supply); measures of education (adult literacy rate, enrolment in secondary education, and enrolment in higher education).
The data indicated that the socialist countries generally have achieved better PQL outcomes than the capitalist countries at equivalent levels of economic development.

No contest - trump is Evil personified. His followers are mere chumps - typical Flying Monkeys -
Flying monkeys are usually unwittingly manipulated people who believe the smears about the victim/s.
Flying monkeys do the narcissist's bidding to inflict additional torment on the target. This consists of spying, spreading gossip, threatening, painting the narcissist as the victim (victim playing) and the target as the perpetrator (victim blaming).
What you don't appreciate is that Trump (the narcissist) will not hesitate to make flying monkeys (His Followers) his scapegoats when and if needed
The flying monkeys may make it seem like the narcissist is not really involved, and they likely have no idea that they are being used. Nicely brainwashed and clueless!

Not all who voted for Trump are TURDS as one commenter put it. Many, many people voted for Trump as a vote against Biden/Harris, who will take the US down a very dangerous path. I agree with most of what the author said about Trump. Can't stand him either. But Harris's (we should forget about Biden since he is on his way "out"and he's not even in yet) masters, the one's pulling the strings, have destruction planned for the U.S. All in the name of equality and tolerance. Right! As long as you agree with them. If not, they will crush you. We are on a dark path. Trump may be a lot of things, but at least he is not a puppet of those who would destroy our country and remake it in the image of Stalin or Mao.

Solomon, as a proud yet currently distraught US citizen (and one based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a state that ended up being one of the crucial swing states to turn Blue / Biden), I can tell you wholeheartedly that Trump, in my opinion, will and should go down as the WORST U.S. PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. And I'll go as far as one of the worst "leaders" and "people" in World History. I voted for Biden / Harris without any hesitation, hoping for a better change and chance for America and the entire World, and looking very much forward to January 20th, 2021, when McDonald will be out of a job. Also, this article was wonderful, so well written and accurate.
Solomon4 year ago
His personality aside, do Americans think that he’ll go down in history as one of the, if not THE worst Presidents of all time?
He now refuses to ‘hand over’ to Biden; there is badly lacking the normal transitional process that should exist between an incumbent President & his successor. And with the Pandemic raging, this will inevitably result in MORE Covid deaths than had a ‘normal handover’ taken place, thus enhancing Trump’s already pathetic reputation.
Yes, the worst EVER POTUS!
Alarcos4 year ago
Well, well ... this clearly is a privileged British twat talking here. Don't get me wrong, I agree with everything he writes about Trump. But the exceptionalist BS about how the British innately dislike all of that is just plain self-delusional. The infection with delusion ravages the UK just as much as it is ravaging the US. Trump has no humor, agreed. But you need a really strong cup of coffee after reading from a Brit that the British are innately with David and innately dislike bullies ... can anyone please ask an Irishman or -woman to confirm that? Or a Kenyan? Or an Indian? The British have a history of bullying, deceiving and lying which is longer than anything Donald Trump might have committed. And you know what? They submit to it on a near daily basis.
Even those who "joke about Empire", or joke about those who still relish in the thought-universe of Empire, or joke about those who still seem to live in it like Jacob Rees Mogg, struggle to truly see it what it is. Remember, Jacob Rees Mogg would gladly joke about himself, while nevertheless unerringly steering the country towards authoritarianism of a 19th century flavour. The British "humour" is delightful at its finest, but it is down-right denial all too often. Because if you joke about something you don't need to worry it might be eating away at your roots. When looked at it from a real-world perspective however, the British Conservatives joined the extreme right faction in the European Parliament in 2009, turning their backs on their fellow Conservatives from other EU nations. That was 7 years prior to Brexit or Trump. And no one was laughing in Europe.
The British laugh about Trump not because he is laughable, but because it distracts them from looking in the mirror and admitting they themselves have sunk to Trumps level before Trump was even elected president in 2016. Modern-day UK is a sore loser, a whiner and an equally sore winner, and they are "Boris Johnson type" funny ... they might make you smile a few times until you realize the moral and humourless vacuum behind it.

Alarcos, as a Brit, I agree with you; but I say this, at the risk of sounding pompous, (as Randolph W has muted), an ‘enlightened Brit’.
But the difference is that Britain now is pretty much a relatively unimportant country, on the north west corner, but NO longer, in Europe, this enhancing her irrelevance.
Trump, on the other hand, is (was) possibly one of the 2 most Important humans on the planet (with Putin), so his flawed personality is (was) of FAR greater relevance than that of that unimportant English twat Jacob Reece Mogg!

It is a miracle that some sort of international crisis hasn't occurred during the Trump Administration. He and his lackeys have stepped on so many international toes that it will take President-Elect Biden his entire four-year term to get things back to some sort of normality. I think we have to thank a lot of long-time career diplomats and level-headed people in the Pentagon and in Congress for not allowing things to go completely topsy-turvy this past four years. And once again, facing a president who has very little grasp of anything, and who is just about as mean-spirited as they come, our little old US Constitution has prevailed.

Christine the American
It is important to distinguish between communism, socialism and social democracy. The latter was imposed in European countries since the end of the Second World War, and has made possible the economic growth and sustainable development of countries such as Germany, France, England, Sweden, Norway, Finland and others. American liberalism is a form of social democracy, which began with Rosselvet's New Deal and which Ronald Reagan began to dismantle. Reagan, and later Trump, are betting on savage capitalism, with no consideration for the people who suffer.
In their political campaign, the Republicans have tried to sell the idea that the liberals will make the United States a new Cuba or a new Venezuela. Nothing is further from reality. Political Liberalism starts from some basic premises: respect for individual freedoms, freedom of business and free competition. None of this exists in a socialist or communist regime.
I guess some Trump supporters voted in his favor to prevent the United States of America from becoming a new Cuba or Venezuela. Of course, that's just a big lie that has no basis in any of the liberals' political theories or programs.
If someone wanted to get a proper idea of the spirit of liberalism, they could read two books by the most important Anglo-Saxon philosopher of the 20th century: John Rawls of Harvard University. His books are: A Theory of Justice and Political Liberalism.

Excellent piece. No one should be surprised that he failed grow into the job and do something good with the opportunity he was given. He's a child, a very damaged and spoiled child. But I've read enough about this overgrown brat. I'd like someone to write about the people who voted for him and continue to stand by him. I think they fall into two basic categories, the racists who have waited for and finally got a candidate who champions their views, and those others who for some unexplainable reason have abandoned all their values and standards they once considered essential for any elected official. They're no different than the victim of a sweetheart swindle who refuses to accept overwhelming evidence of fraud and keeps sending money to the scammer on the phone. These are the people who follow their leader to Jonestown or go up in flames in Waco.

I wholeheartedly agree. What I would add is that he is extremely dangerous. He has been diagnosed as a pathological narcissist and a sociopath (see the article titled “The Psychology of Donald Trump” in Psychology Today). That explains his lack of humor. He was also diagnosed as exhibiting characteristics of an antisocial behavior, such as: “failure to conform to laws and social norms, deceitfulness, impulsivity, irritability and aggressiveness, reckless disregard for safety of others and self” and “lack of remorse”, etc. So yeah, he is a dangerously sick individual with no sense of humor!

Ann Grimes I only take issue with your religion comment. Nowhere in Bible did God say any of this was ok. People need to really educate themselves on what the Book is really about and the context in which it was written and that is where I agree with your “blind religion” comment. Because without properly understanding it, ppl blindly believe what they are told and what others say is truth. Above all else God repeatedly states his most important commandment after loving Him is to love your neighbor as you love yourself. If we get nothing else from the Bible-we should get that. And our gov’t- if it was truly built on the foundation of the Bible would emulate that and encourage it in every inch of the constitution. It’s actually an incredible love story-not a set of rules on how to exclude and excoriate others for being different-quite the opposite. And many who miss that point wrongly use it as a weapon to oppress others and successfully lead those who don’t want to do the research themselves. And hence we have a Donald Trump.

Ann Grimes4 year ago
I agree with 98% of the article; however, the author lacks knowledge the "frontier" mentality of our historically young country, which is based upon guns, G-d, and anti abortion. Those "red" states and its constituency still see themselves as fleeing the rule of a "monarchy" or anything they deem close to it in governing their lives. The wealthier groups only care about their access to increasing their wealth and property, and the poor among them blindly accept the artificial mantra of "we take care of our own", which is based upon the crumbs of their oppressor's and their blind adherence to religion. No different in most cultures, but even in America, the poor can own guns to feel powerful, and his so called message feeds directly into this so called "G-d fearing" mentality, where the rule of religion usurps the rule of humanity.
There is no doubt that trump is a snake-oil salesman. What is sickening is the appeal he has to so many in this country. There are some many resources to self-educate, but the bubble people live in is stronger than their desire to think critically. Pathetic.
There are many among us who recognize understand the deviance in his and our fellow citizens behavior, but are hands are tied until education, kindness, and humanity can triumph.

Ask any special education educator or psychologist who this ‘leader of the free world’ is and you will get a definition of his ED-emotionally disturbed behaiviors and character. Whether sadistic, vengeful, socially maladjusted, morally corrupt and ethically challenged, etc. he is the real deal as his brain circuits (we used to say ‘wired’) which have developed that way from the genetics he inherited and nurtured by the
cruelty and privilege of his parents. He has no humor because he is an intellectually slow processor and he bullies because he needs to be in control of others as he has no control of himself. He has No organizational or structure skills to fall back on but has figured out how to intimidate and fear monger others. His privilege has protected him and his lack of conscience and empathy has as well. He uses the tools of privilege such as lawyers to be his mouthpieces and others to fill his need of complimentary professionals while taking their knowledge as his own. He is the king of his own delusions and he will smite you if you should defy or mock him. He is a world class conman but it is always short lived to any reasonable result because like the ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) untrained or educated he has a short attention span and gets bored very quickly. His passion is money and power and complete adulation. His minions are susceptible to propaganda and conspiracy theories and are comforted by his seemingly quirkiness that entertains them. They live vicariously through him absorbing in their own deficiencies that which fills their own needs with no distinction to gender. He has been unleashed on the world no different then other despots and history will record his failures and his misgivings equally inclusive to his crimes against humanity yet to be reckoned with. This cataclysmic pandemic and environmental impact will have future global scarring of significant magnitude.

My worry is not trump per se, it is Mitch, Lindsay and “ .....them lot”, who have been politicians of grassroots who can’t see him for what they are supposedly not of old. We say the world is changing for the mellenials, but for it to affect “them lot” is an absurdity that is incomprehensible. Mitch n Lindsay have always then been a bad seed from the start just waiting to germinate and they found their fertile soil in the tyrant of trump. Disgrace!!!. They are the ones to pull the plug. Talk of legacy, yet there was Judas among the Deciples just that in the Republicans there are too many Judas iscariot amongst trumps Deciples who won’t even betray him, ironic.

There is a nostalgic yearning for, or, at the very least, a tolerance of, the brand of vulgar fascism from the thirties in Europe here in the United States today, and in other countries as well. A Trump rally feels eerily like Nazi rally
Solomon4 year ago
Yes, it’s called “Populism”, & as you said, is happening in other countries as well. In the U.K., Trump’s mate Nigel Farage is a lead figure in this ‘movement’; & when their followers gather, for sure it resembles a 1930’s Nazi rally.
But the one BIG difference I’ve noticed is that in your US Trump rallies, you DO see the odd non white face—- NEVER in similar U.K. rallies; had a non white person attend one of say Farage’s rallies (mostly held by a port ie an entry point for foreigners, hence poignant), the poor non white would probably be beaten up.
But hopefully with Trump on the way out, normality may well return, not just in your great nation, but, & maybe as a result, in other nations also—-yours is a good post!

For the past hundred and fifty years, down to the present day, conservatives have disallowed or suppressed the nonwhite vote. Thanks to people like Fannie Lou Hamer, Danny Glover, Stacy Abrams and many another heroine, these sinister efforts have been resisted. And thank God for them! For without the vote of the colored people, we would be saddled with another four years of the deranged Trump. He got the white vote.

I am deeply ashamed of my fellow Americans that support this man. It is known to them all that he has cheated thousands of Americans with his trump University and taken to court settled the claims for 25 Million. He stole from his charity and taken to court his lawyers admitted he "misappropriated" the funds. Lawyer speak for stole. He was fined 8 Million dollars and he AND his family enjoined from ever serving in an executive capacity for any charity. The constant lying, failure to take responsibility, and attempts to take credit for things he had no hand in are all disqualifying factors to anyone with morals, ethics or plain common sense. He is a sad, sick man and I pity him.

You had me in your palms until you ended the article with a derogatory term, commonly used to describe the female genitalia. I didnt like that and found that to be offensive. I think it odd whenever folks refer to the strongest organ in the human body to describe the weakness of the male gender. Words like, "he is a pussy",to describe a weak man. Quite to the contrary, the vagina is the strongest organ/muscle in the human body. Bar none! Think about that! Then think sbout the function of the vagina/twat/pussy/whatever/ and you will see how you have given him a strength he does not deserve?!

Please be aware that in the uk the c word and the word twat are not gender specific as they are in the US. Calling a guy a c**t or a twat has no relevance to the female genitalia but is a general insult like turkey, jackass or berk.

2) Vote for an unpolished corrupt man who who said he would fight for my issues.
I care more about positive policy changes than if my current president is likeable. Maybe someday there will be a candidate who isn’t morally corrupt. Then I might vote for a candidate rather than issues.

Sorry, fart face, but Biden scored over 5 million more popular votes than you, PLUS of course he also screwed you as far as the Electoral College votes were concerned.
Add to this, you’ve presided over 230000+ Covid deaths (& rising)—--had there been a proper POTUS in situ, it’s been suggested that the death toll would have been around 170000

"Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laugh."
Ah, but trolls are a product of Norwegian culture, and Trump has nothing in common with those admirable, sensible and moderate people -- EXCEPT one: Anders Behring Breivik, the far-right-wing Norweigian terrorist who, in 2011, detonated a car bomb in Oslo's government center, killing eight, and then, because the day was still young, murdered 69 on a small island with automatic weapons fire, most of them children and adolescents at a summerc camp run by Norway's ruling political party, for no reason other than that their politics were not his politics and his belief that no one deserves to walk the earth who does not agree.
The now-imprisoned Brevik surely approves of Trump and Trump -- should he be reminded of who Brevik is, what he did and why -- likely approves of Brevik, as the pair share the same unshakable sense of superiority and entitlement. Trump will continue to plant metaphorical and rhetorical bombs, but leave it to his acolytes, America's Breviks, to build and plant the literal ones.
"Troll" is too mild a word to apply to Trump, as is the now far-too-genteel word "hypocrite," both lost in an era in which the very air we all breathe has become corrosive. What Trump really is is something he shares with Brevik: they are both criminals.

70 million Americans like or adore his lack of soul, that’s what makes me sick & ashamed.
Cat4 year ago
I never voted for Trump for many of the reasons cited in this article, but to dismiss his followers as "adoring his lack of soul" as one commentator puts it is to dismiss nearly half the voting population as being sub-human--an insult Hilary tossed around which lost her the 2016 election (among other things.) Its this kind of disdain and contempt shown to conservative voters by those on the left that puts fuel into the Trump Train and the division we're seeing here. Aside from this, I know many who voted for him and who support him not because of his sparkling and eloquent personality, but because he was the one person on the conservative side who took certain issues seriously, issues like the damage Free Trade agreements did to American jobs and economic strength, and the massive problem of illegal border crossings. (I have lived in foreign countries myself and always, always had to register with police--UK being one of those places--and I never questioned a country's right to secure its citizens' safety by controlling who gets to come into the country.) If the left truly wants to "Unite and Heal" they need to take a good, hard and humble look at how they themselves communicate. The only difference I see between Trump and Democrats is that Democrats bully their opponents with governmental overreach,
big words and condescension.
Elle4 year ago
Maybe Trump supporters don’t adore his lack of soul, but they certainly don’t mind his blatant racism, incessant lying & abuse of power. They overlook the fact that he withheld Congressionally-mandated military aid from our allies as they were under attack from Russian invaders just to serve his personal political aspirations. They ignore the fact that he stole money from his own charity, and believe him when he says “America First!” even though he publicly sided with a murderous dictator over our American intelligence officers, incl his own Nat’l Security Adviser. They believed him when he promised to drain the swamp & then said nothing when he filled his Cabinet with billionaires who frivolously spent taxpayers’ money on lavish trips & furniture for themselves. They continue supporting him regardless of the fact that he knew a pandemic was coming, but did nothing for a month, then lied about it & continues to lie about it while hundreds of thousands of us watch our loved ones suffer & die. You’ve apparently fallen for Trump’s bullshit that Democrats want open borders & fail to see that the only people Trump wants to keep out of this country all have one thing in common - they’re not white. They come from “shithole countries”, as Trump says.
I’d love to know what “big words” Democrats have used to bully their opponents. I can only assume they’re bigger than “snowflake” “libtard” “elite” “socialist” “commies” & “radical”.
Ann T4 year ago
Well said, Elle. May I add that Trump supporters believe he has nothing to hide, ignoring the fact that he has been desperately trying to hide his tax returns? They believe he is innocent of everything and anything, even while he is ignoring subpoenas and demanding that his administration ignore subpoenas, as well. His supporters find nothing amiss when Trump uses the U.S. Attorney General to defend his personal lawsuits in court. And when asked about any of these points, they will say, “fake news,” while conveniently ignoring the fact that these reports are backed up by multiple, valid sources.
Maureen O4 year ago
Agree with both of you. My concern is that no one (I don't think) has mentioned his mental illness. A group of mental health experts have met, and written up, many things about Trump's pathology as his niece Mary, who is a psychologist. I feel strongly that after this is "over", Congress must rethink Article 25 and how to implement it. Hopefully this will never happen again, that someone as ill as Trump even runs for President, but there should be stronger safeguards against it. As for his followers, it's like a cult for sure and they all need "cult debriefing" or whatever it's called. That won't happen, so I do fear for 2024. If Trump goes to jail for even one of his many crimes, that would help, although his followers will always blame someone else for any trouble he has. Wonder where they learned that? If they haven't seen reality by now, they never will, so I'm still nervous about that and what they might do. The one thing I'm grateful for is that, as far as I know , there is no one else like Trump. May he rest in peace--no, I don't even mean that. I am looking forward to a boring, competent government.

I am a psychiatric nurse with 4 decades of experience. I hope my comment is taken as “clinical” and not as hateful or judgmental. Trump acts the way he does for a reason, a very predictable reason.
I believe President Trump is what we define as a personality disorder. He is an extreme narcissist; and therefore, is only able to care about himself, not others. Narcissists only want you to like them to get their way. If you don’t agree, then they have no use for you. He is also a pathological liar, using his words to paint the picture of what he wants others to see, whether true or not.
Unfortunately, there is no magic pill to correct this. No amount of criticism or pleading or losses can open his eyes to “see the light”. This is not a matter for logic, for “should be’s”. I think that is what frustrates some people.
My comments apply to all narcissists, not just Mr. Trump.

Christine the American4 year ago
Ok, Britain. I get that you all hate Trump. Instead of just labeling everyone that voted for him as idiots, maybe you can take a moment to understand how we got into this situation.
1. The USA was built on capitalism that was tempered by Christian values such as taking care of the poor (which role was filled largely by churches)
2. This works for 200 years until we get so successful that we feel like we don't need God (for various reasons).
3. Capitalism then gets out of control, making our country more of an oligarchy than a democracy. Big businesses throw around their weight and get greedy. The middle class diminishes, leaving bigger upper and lower classes. Everyone is miserable in one way or another.
4. Everyone agrees that things are bad and need to change, but we can't agree on how.
5. The dwindling middle class is mostly republican (conservative) and thinks we should go back to what worked for so long by preserving capitalism and encouraging conservative values.
6. The upper and lower classes are mostly democratic (liberal) and believe that socialism is the only way to bring prosperity and fairness.
I am conservative and I really, really wish we had had a better candidate. The democrats probably would have won by more if they had a better candidate. Both candidates were not good choices. However, I voted for Trump, even though he is mean and very un-Christlike because as a businessman he at least understands the value of capitalism. He also promised to support conservative issues such as being against abortion. I have no idea if he actually believes in conservative values since his life doesn't reflect them, but he said he would and he did.
Liberals won the presidency and it looks like conservatives are taking the Senate. Supreme Court justices, who are supposed to be impartial but aren't, just changed to be a more conservative majority. Folks, this struggle has been decades in the making and isn't going to be solved with one election or any time soon.
Frankly, articles like this one just spew hate and encourage us to dehumanize each other. Please stop throwing gas on the flames of our struggles.

7. You shall not commit adultery. .... Except with Pornstars?
8. You shall not steal. ... 6+ Bankrupcies to his name where creditors lost 100's of millions. Now he is trying to steal the election?
9. You shall not bear false witness - Trump is a serial Liar, 25,000 lies since 2016 and counting.

I'd bet that what Bernie is offering is what you really want. Forget the Right, Left, Middle lable nonsense, and look at the proposed policies. And, as a bonus, you get a rather decent human on top that sincerely wants our kids to have a better future !
Mr Sanders says he would invest $1 trillion to modernise America’s infrastructure over the next five years. It would be paid for by closing loopholes that allow corporations to avoid paying taxes by, among other things, shifting their profits to the Cayman Islands and other offshore tax havens. He says the plan would create more than 13m jobs. He proposes a clean energy workforce and an investment of $5.5bn to create one million jobs for young Americans and provide job training for hundreds of thousands of others.
One study found average family income would jump by $22,000 per year and unemployment would fall to 3.8 per cent, if his policies were followed. The report, carried out by Gerald Friedman, an economics professor at University of Massachusetts Amherst, found that 26m jobs would be created and poverty would drop to 6 per cent,

It seems you hold capitalism over your Christianity.
Christine the American4 year ago
I do not hold capitalism over Christianity. If the liberals wanted to try socialism WITH any kind of religious acceptance it might have a slim chance of working. But democrats are very anti-religion and I don't just mean against Christianity. For a country based on religious freedom, we have turned around and now any religion is persecuted. My point was that capitalism worked in the past BECAUSE most Americans were religious. Those religions taught us to not be greedy and to love and care for our neighbors. It is when we cast off religion, and embraced greed and selfishness, that capitalism stopped working for us and started working against us. The flavor of socialism that the liberals are screaming for will have us in the same boat as Venezuela in short order. When it fails, those in power will feel it is their duty to step in and assert more control, and then we will be communist. That won't work either. I am perfectly aware of the irony of electing a person who is amoral to champion morality. It seemed better than quickening our speed toward total economic collapse by voting for doomed socialism.
Neil4 year ago
Christine - from the PoV of almost any other country on the planet, the idea that the policies of the Democrats in the U.S. are hard-socialist is frankly absurd. Nearly every other stable democracy in the developed world has political parties frequently in government that are more socialist than the U.S. Democratic party. This has been the case for nearly century without most of them turning into communist autocracies. As implied in the article, this is what many British people find incomprehensible about many Americans - a seeming inability to appreciate nuance, degree and quantity.
Christine the American4 year ago
Debbie, the USA is about 240-ish years old depending on when you want to acknowledge us as an independent country. Capitalism worked for 200 years while we embraced religious freedom, which prevented greed, etc. The past 40 years, people cast off religion and changed the laws that held capitalism in check. It went out of control. It can work if done right. Any economic system will struggle to succeed when people’s hearts are selfish.
Christine the American4 year ago
The democrats this week said on national news that conservatives are maggots and they want to burn us all down. That is the kind of prevalent “join us or die” attitude that makes me believe that they won’t be happy with reasonable social improvements.

Christine, I had to look up Jennifer Rubin, and found that she is a Conservative columnist for the Washington Post. Unfortunately, I had to find the clip on YouTube, and it was FOX News reaction. I couldn’t find the clip where Conservatives are called maggots, which would strand for her to say, considering that she IS one. I think what she said was inflammatory, but not a specific or threatening. She was discussing Trump and his enablers in the GOP, who continue to lie and push conspiracy theories about the election being stolen.
I give you a lot of credit for answering those of us who have asked questions. Thank you.

Christine the American4 year ago
Yes, Jennifer Rubin used to be a conservative, but she hatedTrump so much that she decided she had to become Democrat after all. She currently labels herself as a Democrat. Maybe feeling betrayed by her former party is what fueled her vitriol.

My original point was not so much about Jennifer Rubin herself but the fact that MSNBC did not feel the need to cut away or stop her. The left controls the media and support and distribute hatred.

Christine the American: It is important to distinguish between communism, socialism and social democracy. The latter was imposed in European countries since the end of the Second World War, and has made possible the economic growth and sustainable develop4 year ago
It is important to distinguish between communism, socialism and social-democracies. The last ones have been implemented all around European countries since de World War II. Liberal Politics in the United States of America is a form o social-democracy politics. One of the best intellectuals of the XX Century (John Rawls, from Harvard)
Federico Gallego4 year ago
It is important to distinguish between communism, socialism and social democracy. The latter was imposed in European countries since the end of the Second World War, and has made possible the economic growth and sustainable development of countries such as Germany, France, England, Sweden, Norway, Finland and others. American liberalism is a form of social democracy, which began with Rosselvet's New Deal and which Ronald Reagan began to dismantle. Reagan, and later Trump, bet on savage capitalism, without the slightest consideration for the people who suffer.
In their political campaign, the Republicans have tried to sell the idea that the liberals will make the United States a new Cuba or a New Venezuela. Nothing is further from reality. Political Liberalism starts from some basic premises: respect for individual freedoms, freedom of business and free competition. None of this exists in a socialist or communist regime.
If you want to get a proper idea of political liberalism, you could read two books written by the most important philosopher of the Anglo-Saxon world in the 20th century: John Rawls, a professor at Harvard University. His books are: A Theory of Justice and Political Liberalism.

His wanting to take away the health insurance of 20 million people during a deadly pandemic is so disgusting and sickening. I can't stand even looking at him or hearing his voice. The world is watching this and these people are among the most hated in the world.

The author (and Theresa) are being too kind to Americans like myself. It was not "almost 1/3 of Americans" who continue to support Trump. It was "almost" 1/2 of the voters, which is a very significant representation of all adults in the country. Let us be clear and candid and not cling to decimal points. In round numbers, half this country still supports Trump. Incredible, frightening, shameful, but true. And then let us face the REALLY frightening conclusion: democracy is not working very well.

it is unbelievable that Trump voters and the Republican party at large fail to see where he is leading them?. His slogan and pledge was to make 'America Great Again', but his ultimate aim and ambition was to transform his narcissistic, egotistical, racist self into a mega wealthy 'Pocket man' dictator who wanted to create a dynasty of Trumps at their expense and they are nothing more than an orchestra of cannon fodder following his erratic baton waving directions. They should fact check him properly and fully themselves, confront him with the results, then wait for his response. Job done.
Vladimir Putin is playing him like a banjo and who can blame him. As the old adage says, if you can find a fool or better still an idiot make use of him. The question is who has allowed him to do so?. Answer! You have, the GOP and Donald Trump's predominately redneck wave. Drain the swamp my arse, he has filled it to overflowing. Build the wall doh thankfully that never happened as It took the world 28 years to remove the last one. They used to say that 'Money is the root of all evil' that still holds true but it is high time it's updated to incl Nationalism and power hungry people with illusions of grandeur. You wanted your photograph to be in the dictators/despots hall of fame but alas Donald it has gradually adopted the look of a Salvidor Dali clock face. Wake up Donald, the dream is over.

Well, Bravo Nate! You have managed to insult over 7 million voting American Patriots in a rather nasty elitist Queen's English way. Tu whit-you have no wit or sensitivity either; you are rather an aristocratic bully who still can not believe a ragtag army of farmers defeated the haughty Red Coats. And then we had the audacity to proclaim our freedom to be exactly who we are: entrepreneurial rugged individualists with an incredible work ethic. We look at our President's policies- not his personality-and we find his unpretentious behavior rather endearing. When I lived in London for four years, I learned how condescending some privileged English blokes could be. Once at a pub, someone asked what I did for a living and when I answered that I was an English teacher, they laughed hysterically and corrected me with a self-satisfied smirk on their curled upper lips: "Oh you mean you are an American teacher."

Well done Ruth - Clearly you sucked at Maths at School. I do pity the kids having to out up with you. You are not an English teacher, and you certainly don't qualify as an Ameri-can teacher - perhaps you are an Ameri-can't teacher!
If there were only 7million bigots in the USA - it would be a FAR FAR better place. Sadly, 63million more of your type deserve to be insulted, and insulted ... and !
Nate speaks for the WORLD, all 7+ BILLION non-Amercinas ... as well as the other 52% of sensible Americans - If anything, Nate was being quite nice really and pulling his punches like a gentleman would !

How is it that you are repulsed by aristocracy, elistism, bullying, condescension and privilege, yet you find Don Trumpet “ rather endearing”
Trump has no wit – he can barely understand a joke, nor tell one!
Trump was born elite and rich, and went to elitist schools and college!
He is useless as an entrepreneur – more than half a dozen bankruptcies to his name!
So what exactly is it that you find so endearing? Is it the fact that he cheated on his wife with a Porn Star? Is it the fact that he grabs women by the fanny without their permission? Is it his love of fast food? Is it his racist rhetoric? Is it the fact that he barely survived Covid thanks to 11+ doctors, fancy breathing machines, and state of the art drugs that you would NEVER get while a few thousand more Americans died today with no doctors, no equipment and no drugs for them!
What exactly is it – we all want to know? We really do?

Ruth, you are embarrassing yourself. Get over the war fought 250 years ago, which you seem to think makes your opinion count for something more. The British have been our Allies and friends for more than 100 years. Bringing up ancient history makes you look like an uneducated bully.
Also, I am sick and tired of Trump’s Dementors looking upon themselves as “patriots,” as if adorning yourselves with the American flag, (or humping it, in Trump’s case), makes you superior, or a better American. Real Americans respect the Constitution, which Trump is trying to destroy. We respect the Statue of Liberty as our symbol of hope and freedom, which Trump has again destroyed. We respect our friends and allies, knowing that working WITH other countries makes the world a better place for us all. Trump is all about enriching himself.

No, I don’t think he personally cares about any conservative issues. He is an independent who wanted to be president and told the republicans that he would fight for their issues. He was voted in and he was true to his word. I can’t say I like HOW he chose to fight for our issues, but he doggedly fought for the side he chose to represent. I think of it as like a lawyer who defends his client even if he doesn’t share that clients life views. We had someone who would fight for us and he got to fill his dream of being president.

Aren't these traits prominent with all dictators, cult leaders, demigods, and monomaniacal dodos? Back in the days, before being fixed up, the first question I would ask is "Does he have a good sense of humor?" I still make this requirement for any relationship, political or personal.

Daniel4 year ago
Yes I agreed. Trump has done a lot of good.
Good nepotism for his family. Good tax breaks for rich Americans. Good breaks for filthy rich oil-barons. Good to show our Children an example of bad leadership. Good for Gun Stores. Good for school shooters.
But most of all, as far as you and I are concerned - absolutely Good ... for Nothing!

And now he’s moaning about the ‘Pfizer invented’ Covid 19 vaccine, claiming the announcement of its imminence was deliberately held back until after the election.
Come on, Mr Trump—-why should YOU be involved? You’re an isolationist, wanting to disown NATO, & discrediting the EU (the European Union); & Pfizer is a German company, with Germany perhaps the EU’s premier nation!
But most telling—-you’ve left WHO (the Wealth Health Organisation), so frankly, you, as the isolationist President (now ex) of the USA, had no right WHATSOEVER in the involvement of this ‘German created, international vaccine’!

Hear, hear! In California we are happy in the result, nonetheless bewildered by how close it was. No-one can make, rationally, an affirmative case for Trump without lying to themselves. Apart from the 'fractal flaws' that should be apparent, the unforgivable sin is that he simply did not do the job. He will now cry about alleged illegal vote counts while many of us are counting bodies.

God's judgement awaits all of you who have made negative comments here about President Trump!
Gozika4 year ago
God's judgement 🤣. Another gullible Christian that thinks Trump is god's gift to you. Hypocrisy is when you call yourself a christian and fail to acknowledge that Trump is a racist, misogynistic, bigoted, xenophobic, narcissistic, pu34dy grabbing, children caging, fat lying individual. God will judge you first.
Ann T4 year ago
I’m sure God is shaking his head at the sheer stupidity of those who refuse to see how truly evil Trump is. Are you conveniently ignoring all of the Ten Commandments Trump has he broken? Do you truly believe that Jesus would support a man like Trump? If I were a religious person - and I am not - I might be seeing the terrible natural disasters that have plagued the US in the last four years as a warning from God. Record breaking hurricanes, fires, and flooding ... it’s just one disaster after another. But since I believe in science, I see climate change as a huge problem, and a problem that Trump will never admit exists.
If you believe in God, then you should believe He gave you a brain for a reason. Try using it, Olakaba.

I stumbled across Mr. White’s article today curious as to what other people in the world think of some of the unprecedented behaviors by our American president Mr. Donald Trump.
Spot on!
May I add that for those of us living in the states that all of these “little” attacks made by Mr. Trump on the people have created an uneasiness for so many of us never experienced in my 50 plus years of living in America. I don’t support nor condone racism or bullies. The fact that Mr. Trump’s comments go untethered and never demand any apology have become an almost daily headline declaring that Trump’s comments separate and tear down years of past growth towards everyone being treated equally and living as such.
The lack of education and ignorance displayed by his supporters have come to exceed those who are silenced or turn a blind eye to Trump’s antics. In the past an intelligent, fact driven non biased account of things would have been more than enough for any voice to be given to such attacks on any person or race.
Mr. Trump often starts his rhetoric with his American constitutional rights allowing him to spew whatever he wants be it fact or fiction, racist or his own personal dislikes. Somehow, and this I don’t understand, this has allowed thousands of Americans to repeat and act on what he says adding that “he’s the president he knows what’s best for us”.
Mr. Trump also begins many of his statements with “I’m the smartest guy in the room” or “I graduated from the top school in the country.” You hear people repeating this occasionally when defending Mr. Trump.
America has long suffered a need for better standards of education throughout the states. I hope that somehow we get this addressed and fixed immediately as a direct result of Mr. Trump’s actions.
Having our youth repeat any of the things he’s said from racist or sexist remarks to “windmills cause cancer” as facts or anything acceptable would truly hurt me and I hope others would agree.
I don’t know how to fix what’s happening here in America. Feeling bullied is far reaching across America right now. Sadly, some are choosing to support and refer to no action in office being taken against any of Trump’s antics as “proof” he must be right. If our own government fails to reign him in or impose any negative penalty for his behaviors what can we do? We voted him out and he’s still at it. (Less we mention Hilary Clinton had over 2 million more reported votes than Trump but lost to the electoral votes. )

As his first Secretary of State said: Trump is a moron. He should seek exile in North Korea or Russia. He has good buddies there who will surely look after him when he is worthless and powerless!

This American citizen congratulates Mr. White was writing the most accurate description of Donald Trump I have read. The British should recognize that Trump is a fluke of the American election process. Hillary Clinton had six million more votes than Trump, but due to the arcane provisions of the electoral college embodied in our Constitution, Trump became president. But, Halleluah!!! Trump will be out of The White House before the end of January, having been soundly defeated in the recent election, and sanity and good will return to The White House. Best wishes to my British cousins. My earliest American ancestor arrived on The Mayflower, and all of my family is of either English or Scottish ancestry.

Re my previous comment. Why are the British meddling in American Politics? Apparently not everyone has FOX News on their TV where they have a video of Joe Biden going to the Ukraine where his no experience son Hunter was one of the directors of Burisna Holdings and a prosecutor in the Ukraine was taking him to court. Biden goes there and tells the head of the Ukrainian Government “I’ll give you six hours to fire the prosecutor or you don’t get a billion dollars in aid from the USA. He later looks at his watch and sez “well I’ll be a SOB, they fired him” Same thing with China. He and his son Hunter went there and got millions of dollars from them. Biden is A VERY CORRUP INDIVIDUAL who made all his family millionaires. How can a guy that has 35,000 to 45,000 people at his rallies lose to a guy who can’t even get 200 people at his rallies. There’s a lot of lawsuits pending. They found a county in Michigan that had a computer glitch and had 9000 Democratic votes that were supposed to be Republican. There’s 37 other counties in Michigan with the same computer glitch. How can a man that has 44000 votes in Georgia in the morning whittle down to 1025 that evening. There’s something very fishy about what’s going on in this election, and it’s not a fish. It’s a freakin SHARK.

Sara, you are a very gullible woman who will believe anything that comes out of Trump’s mouth, in spite of the fact that he lies constantly. NONE of your insane babbling has been backed up in any way whatsoever. You tell it like a tattling schoolgirl who wants to wants to get someone in trouble, but has based her whole story on the lies of other gullible people. The only corrupt millionaire who has made his family rich is Donald Trump, and there is PLENTY of evidence there, and there will be much more when Trump has to deal with his fraudulent New York taxes in January.
And what the hell are you talking about? Disappearing votes? Are you actually saying that almost 43,000 votes for Trump disappeared? Trump’s LEAD dwindled due to absentee ballots, not because someone tampered with his vote count! Reading comprehension is important, Sara. THIS is why Trump says he loves the uneducated, because they don’t have the critical thinking skills to cut through the Trump bullish!t.
I challenge you to back up your Biden claims. As hard as Trump has tried, he hasn’t come up with anything credible yet.

Do you ignore solid reporting that is backed up by facts and actual numbers, or do you believe Loony Guiliani, Rush Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson, and the biggest liar himself - Trump, who are trying to convince you that the only way Trump could possibly have lost is that millions of ballots have been either fraudulent or miscounted? And they have provided NO PROOF for their claims, other than “somebody saw ...”. And that’s good enough for YOU to be convinced that Trump was robbed? Shame on you.

Donald Trump earns a tax free presidential salary of $400,000 per year.

On top of that he gets free accommodation with every possible luxury included, and the right to be a total asshole without that consequences that would befall anyone else - priceless!
Then he gets to pass laws that boost his share values by 100's of millions - ha ha for you!

In order to understand jokes, one must have a certain level of understanding in non-verbal communication, as well as some social skills. One needs to be able to read into other people‘s tone of voice, body language or facial expressions to be able to tell that they are joking. One also needs to be able to understand double meanings of words, word play, vague hints and such. And in many cases, one also needs to be aware of some social subtleties or the way other people think.

Nate White’s description of Trump’s character is precisely why we voted for him, because of all those very accurately described numerous faults, for who wants a weak President who is not able to stand up against other world leaders from China, Russia, Iran, North Korea. The world does not like him because he selfishly puts America first. Obama gave away the farm and Trump is taking it back. Hillary is crooked and so is Biden. We elected a strong macho man, not an effeminate wimpy politician who tells you what you want to hear but does not accomplish anything of significance. Look at what Trump has accomplished! Main stream media never talks of his accomplishments so most folks remain ignorant of them. Americans are fooled by mainstream media, CNN MSNBC etc. who magnify his faults but never talk of his accomplishments. Don’t be blinded by his faults but look past them if you are smart enough to do so.
Dan Murphy4 year ago
Oh Hazel - Have you gone Nuts!
Trump does not stand up to China, Russia, Iran and North Korea - He praises how their people "listen when their Autocrats talks" That's why you listen to him.
He does not put American First - He puts RICH-Americans first - While you rejoiced at a few extra hundred dollars thanks to token tax cuts, his pals saw extra millions in their hands. While you were glad that you could buy more KFC, they bought more boats and houses! What uncle Donald “forgot” to tell you is that thanks to those tax cuts your roads will have more potholes, your trash will be collected less frequently, your kids will be less educated, and if you or anyone in your family ever got really sick – you would definitely have to sell your house to pay the bills.
While you and someone you know was coughing out a corona infected lung, his pals grew their net worth by quite a few billions – tell me - how did you do? Did that infected person have 11 doctors around when sick, with access to the latest drugs – or are they still tired, confused and still coughing a few months later.
Macho men stand up for the weak and bullied – they don’t laugh and ridicule them.
Macho men play fair – they don’t appoint unqualified family and friends to high positions.
Macho men first tell the world how their infected wife is doing when infected by Corona, before talking about themselves.
Macho men remember to get gifts for their wives on their birthdays.
Wives of macho men proudly hold their hands, not slap it away.
Trump is the very opposite of Macho – he is the loud village idiot whose lies too many believed.

You forgot his qualities:
He's an unrepentant bold faced liar, he's skillful at deceiving ignorant racist Americans, because he is ignorant and racist, Trump is a successful misogynist, tax fraud specialist, and has taken the office of the presidency to all new lows by trying to run the country sitting on the toilet tweeting: he knows how to use a smart phone, Wow! He's good at emboldening hate mongers, néo-nazis and rednecks everywhere anywhere. And to add a little criticism, Donald probably has a tiny penis and plays lousy golf!

Trump is only good as president for DRC, Nigeria or north Korea. Therewriter used the adjectives to describe him. The world just missed another Hitler! In all Trump exposed to the world how fickle minded most Americans have been brainwashed.
Salt of the Earth4 year ago
Actually, the brainwashed Americans are those who trust that Joe Biden is the answer. Joe Biden and the whole political establishment, Democrats and Republicans alike are the problem in America. It has become the norm for us to accept whatever they feed us as long as it appears on the surface to benefit. Both parties are at a stalemate over who is going to screw us and how. No one is willing to work with the other side to compromise and move us forward. As loathsome as Donald Trump is he has now exposed that raw nerve within America. There is a huge segment of the population who do not accept what has slowly been shoved down our throats by the government over at least the last 30 years or so and are not satisfied with government stagnation which does little to understand and address our needs as it dissolves the middle class, turning us into corporate slaves. That existing 49% of the population who broke from the brainwashed to support the hope that Donald Trump would be the answer is the seed that is ready to ripen and throw off those shackles of corporate/government domination. All it will take is one man who is similar to Donald Trump with more finesse who appeals to that 49% and all of the others on the fence to take it one step further. This isn't over.
Dan Murphy4 year ago
Dear Salty
Oh how the wool has been pulled over your eyes! Donald is not your friend, he is very much the friend of the very big-corporate that has enslaved you all your life!
While you were coughing out a corona infected lung, his pals grew their net worth by quite a few billions – tell me - how did you do?
While you rejoiced at a few extra hundred dollars thanks to token tax cuts, top earners saw extra tens and hundreds of thousands in their hands. While you were glad that you could buy more KFC, they bought more cars, boats and houses! What uncle Donald “forgot” to tell you is that thanks to those tax cuts your roads will have more potholes, your trash will be collected less frequently, your kids will be less educated, and if you or anyone in your family ever got really sick – you would definitely have to sell your house to pay the bills.
Salty – if you are upset with government stagnation and corporate greed – you really should be voting Bernie. Have a good look at who really represents your interest!
It shouldn’t be over – but by now your brainswashing by the greedy corporate Trump-card really should be.

Hear, hear!
I couldn't agree with you more. As an American, I'm ashamed and appalled by Trump each and every day. I'm heart sick that roughly 48% of Americans actually voted for him this election. My God, how could they? It's almost incomprehensible that ANYONE would support such an awful excuse for a human being. I did read that a large percentage of his supporters are white, rural, high school educated men - in other words, poorly educated crackers. No wonder Trump appeals to them.
I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I get nervous any time I have to drive through rural areas and small towns. The countryside is beautiful, but it hides a lot of downright scary people. I hear banjos, I swear.
Thanks for this description of Trump. It's spot on.

As a Canadian and thus a neighbour to the US and it’s citizens it is hard not to suspect that democracy in the US is likely in serious decline. In Canada while by and large I feel we agree with this article we also wonder about the education and values of the millions who support Trump. This causes us some concern as we have had historically many friends in the US who we have thought highly of.
Did Trump get elected by ‘ borrowing a Republican ‘ suit ‘ then staining it with everything including body fluids, burning cigaret holes in it, tearing it, then throwing it all crushed up in the corner as he created the Trumplican party with true republicans afraid to speak up because their power needs were being fulfilled? ‘

I could have , would have, should have written this myself. As an Englishwoman I was raised with the same values. I totally share this writer’s sentiments.
I live in America and am appalled at the move towards the lowest common denominator that Trump represents in every domain the writer mentions. He does not in any way reflect the Americans that I know, but I fear he does reflect the values of many that I don’t know. He wouldn’t be around if he didn’t. That’s the pathetic and scary part.

Personally, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a severe lack of education - Trump voters are so disproportionately stupid, and they like Trump because he validates white supremacy, sexism, guns, selfishness and greed (traits that many borderline retarded individuals also hold).
I used to think it was a difference between good and evil, but now I can see that it’s just the uneducated v the educated, and there was a small amount of relief for me in learning that.

OMG, I had no idea that my country was filled with so many racist, white supremacist, gullible, ignorant sheep. I thought Trump was just an aberration, a bully who had a small vocal following. I believed that after almost 4 years in office rational people would see that we are regressing rather than progressing. Granted, the vote has not been entirely counted yet but it seems to be clear that his policies of hatred and division are not shared by an equal number of people who have a more progressive and forward looking view of country and humanity as a whole. I fear for the future of both if this becomes the norm. My apologies to everyone reading this and believes that everyone in my country shares the values of this nit wit. God help us all.

I was living in the US, in 2016, when Trump won the election. I couldn't believe the people of America would vote for a person such as him. In my ignorant mind, I thought the majority of Americans were sensible, informed, intelligent people. I soon found out that they are not. America is extremely good at advertising itself as the best country in the world. You can be whatever you want to be, live wherever you want to live. It's a lie. Everything about America is a lie. There are parts of it that should be classified as third world. I had never seen anything like it. The questions I asked my partner, who is American and a historian, were never ending. I was shocked. Needless to say, I didn't stay after the second year. I'm British and possess and display all of the sensibilities for which we are famous. I returned to my wonderful country and my partner followed.

NIGHTMARE SCENARIO:Trump loses by a whisker; refuses to accept defeat; instigates a reaction from his fanatical, gun toting supporters; civil disorder, if not civil war ensues.
PLAUSIBLE SCENARIO: Trump loses by a whisker; refuses to accept defeat; tries to form a new government, but decent Republican leaders, valuing the concept of democracy & fair play (AND the credibility of the USA at stake), simply refuse point blank to ‘take office’. Result? The resident freak then replaces Pence, Pompeo, Mnuchin, & Esper with the likes of Melania, Kushner, Ivanka & Donald Trump jnr.! Happy days!

Proud Yankee assumes that Trump represents America at it’s best, as in the “Greatest Generation” that fought in WWII? This is the worst of what has happened to American thinking, to assume if we are not Trump supporters we are anti-America. This is how frighteningly insidious Trump’s political wave is now. Trump is only one very venal and selfish American, he is not “America”, my allegiance is to my country not any one person, and certainly not to this idiot.
Proud Yankee4 year ago
Read what I said again. The Trump regime represents what happens to a great country when it has become so corrupt that the people in desperation elect someone, anyone who promises to change the corrupt system in place to benefit the working class rather than elect the candidate who will continue to support that corruption and greed. Fortunately for us and the rest of the world, we have seen the error of our logic and realize that as corrupt as America had become before Trump was elected it is nothing in comparison to the chaos and self destructive path he is following to ruin. And while Biden is not the answer someone in the future will come along with a real plan and not just empty promises. It will be then that the silent majority who have had enough of corporate greed will stand up and change things for the betterment of all Americans who do make America great. It has to happen and it starts with getting rid of Trump in 2 days.

Obama handed him a thriving economy, and Trump blew it because he only cares about himself.

Hey, I don't agree with Trump on everything by any means, his tweets are terrible, but so is Twitter, only twits are on Twitter and I'm certainly not.

No, Al, I am not mentally disabled. My brain is fully functioning, which means I can read and educate myself before mouthing off. For example, there are very reliable publications and reports, such as Business Insider, that should remind you that Obama inherited the worst recession since the Great Depression, and he handed a thriving economy to Trump. Trump says he inherited a “mess.”
And have you considered why the “Dems have done nothing since Trump was elected”? Perhaps you missed Mitch “Grim Reaper” McConnell’s boast to FOX News that there are 395 bills on his desk that he will not introduce for a vote. The Dems can’t force a vote in the Senate.

Hey, proud yankee, your comments are proof of the inexhaustible supply of braggadocio, Hubris,self-aggrandizing and ignorance so many Americans display. ( Still ).
You are probably convinced that all the wars the US has fought , and still fight, are a result of purely altruistic reasons. The reason you believe that is because you are ignorant of history ( as are so many Americans ) uninformed and brainwashed. I respect and am appreciative of what Americans did in WW2, but it’s a fact that they entered after being attacked by Japan. Google it. As for all the wars America has fought since, all the talk about our warriors ( we don’t call them soldiers anymore) fighting for our freedoms is bs. They fight for a purely economic reason. America is in decline, and Trump is accelerating such decline.Better heed the old adage: Be nice to the people you meet going up the ladder of success, for they will be the same people you’ll meet on the way down. The era of “The ugly American” is over my friend.

What the unfortunate Trump voters don’t realize, is that a vote for Trump is a vote against themselves, and for a sociopathic narcissist. No one deserves to be deceived by a sociopathic narcissist. The majority of Americans deserve far better.

You hit the nail on the head...over and over and over. A perfect analysis of the worst President in American history. If there is to be an American future, he must be defeated. Then, he must be held accountable for all of his dishonesty, corruption, misfeasance, nonfeasance, and malfeasance. I was a lifetime Republican. Not any longer!

I'm not a fan of Trump either, but America stopped checking with England on their leaders a long time ago.
Leo Anthony4 year ago
Perhaps, this is the problem! Maybe Trump needs to 'take a knee' before the Queen, apologize for the US Secession. The Queen will politely ask him to stand aside and ask the Opposition if they could form an interim Government whilst new elections are planned and run. Mr Trump will no doubt be knighted and sent to be the Governor General of a colonial outpost like Australia, where he can golf everyday for the rest of his life!
Heh heh heh!

I hear what you say, but as a Brit, I’d say the ‘reason’ for such an ‘intrusive’ article is in fact a backhanded compliment to the USA; it signifies the importance that America has today, specially in the free world. The US is, by default, the leader of the free world hence her leaders, whoever they may be, will always, rightly or wrongly, be
under the microscope.

You don’t need to put this monstrosity under any microscope. It’s appalling that nearly half the country can’t see his ‘huge’ grotesque flaws from afar.

I don’t disagree with what Nate White says about Trump, but for feck sake his arrogance we British and our sense of fair-play and rooting for the underdog the British should look in the mirror. Britain’s imperialism and colonialism is well documented but it’s something they’d prefer to “whitewash” over, they pillaged their colonies, suppressed the local populations we here in Ireland know to well then there’s India, the Middle East and Africa the list is endless
The British empire was built on the slave & opium trade https://www.theguardian.com/.../british-history-slavery...

President Trump has appointed two Supreme Court justices, Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
• Passing the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) that will bring relief and business to the American farmer.
• Passing 12 weeks of paid family leave for federal workers. An initiative that Ivanka Trump has been advocating for since Day One. And on a personal level, one that NO LESS than 10 career HUD employees thankedme for in private - with some even admitting they may vote for him in 2020.
• Reaching an historic trade deal with China that lifts the unfair tariff burden off the American tax-payer that the LAST THREE PRESIDENTS had no problem paying for DECADES.
• Getting Space Force
• Requiring Hospitals to publicly disclose the costs charged and paid by ALL insurance companies to ensure transparency and fair competition.
• Making animal cruelty a FEDERAL FELONY, praised by the American Humane Society as a bill they’ve been trying to pass for DECADES
• Forcing delinquent foreign countries to contribute an additional $530 BILLION to NATO so that Americans are no longer bearing the global burden
• Expanding federal civil rights protections against anti-semitism, which was duly praised by the President of the Anti-Defamation League
Your name is enough to make any sane person skip the rest of your propaganda bullish!t. Watch some REAL news for a change.

I agree with what all of you have said. I feel so sad because his “rein” has caused so much division in all of our friends and families and the ones that are for the idiot can’t understand or just won’t admit that this pervert is all the bad things people say he is. I will never understand how supposed intelligent people can be so deeply sucked in by him.

I am ashamed our country could elect such an idiot to such an important position . I cannot for the life of me fathom how people believe he is a great business man much less person! You can’t imagine the hatred and division this has brought to us...and we are tired. We are praying for sanity to somehow prevail....and I am excited to feel, for the first time in a LONG time....a sense of unity coming back! I can’t help but think it has been a long hard look in our mirror of who we are as a people...a nation...and I am NOT one of those people. MOST of us are NOT in line with his cult followers! Pray for us! For good to win over evil. ...Love to triumph over hate....And everyone else to “just please get it”

As a Brit who is fond of most things American, it’s so sad to read that people are forecasting violence post 3 November, whoever wins. Pray God it does not happen; but isn’t it possible that this threat of violence is maybe, partly at least, as a result of Trump’s confrontational style the past 3+ years
As far as I’m aware, never before have these ‘threats’ arisen, but then Trump is a one-off, as we all know!

The apprentice guy is a man without honor and a "leader" who declines to take responsibility for the solemn, serious duty that he has sworn to fulfil. In fact, he has broken his sworn oath to uphold the constitution. In fact, he has lined the White House with family, yes-men, petty criminals, and liars, and lined his pockets with tax payer money. He is a liar among liars. In fact, "As President Trump entered the final stretch of the election season, he began making more than 50 false or misleading claims a day. It’s only gotten worse — so much so that the Fact Checker team cannot keep up." - The Washingtron Post
He is in the process of destroying the United States through his self-admitted divisive administrative style. He has given a voice to, and legitimized the most hateful, fearful, ignorant elements of our society. He follows, almost to the letter, the strategy of a dictator (refer to "The Dictator's Handbook" by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith. He is unfit to manage an Exxon station in Glasgow, Montana let alone make the decisions of a president.

He is who he is. At least he’s done the things he’s promised to do. He was treated like garbage before he even became the President by the democrats who continued to try to find something illegal they could use against him the whole time he’s been in office. They failed to find anything every time. It’s quite the story that’s popped up about the wonderful Biden, his family and obama yesterday, and the rest of the witch hunters, seems they were and are all barking up the wrong tree, they only needed to look to themselves to find the illegal dealing and treasure trove of lies. The Democratic Party! Who knew?!. We did! The republicans! And we never gave up on him and we never will! He’s the best president there has ever been and he has plenty of followers! And we would trust him over the Democrats and their flunkies any day! So get over yourselves, you’ve been found out...

Apt and cogent, salient, sapient, succinct and insightful. We have a President who is a character, rather than having any. Contrary to the long tradition of Americans voting for the lesser of two evils, which hadn't been working for us these many decades, we all cleverly decided to try the only alternative, that is, the greater of those evils instead. Unfortunately, that happened to be Trump - he is the one, now that his fellow citizens have been fed up enough. Too, industry, which has bought out government, needed in these times of techno-quicknews to reassert their hegemony over a populace that sees their fake leaders' machinations instantaneously in real time. What better way than foist off on us this sardonic figurehead of blatant corruption. Ain't democracy great?

Nate White is neither articulate or witty. He's certainly humorless if he never finds the President amusing. Trump is better at stand-up comedy than almost any American comedian. This profile of the president is so wrong, requires so much mind reading, y'all are insane if you believe it. I understand that you probably only get CNN over there so your view of America is already warped beyond recognition.
And that fluffery about Obama who had neither wit nor compassion nor grace nor humility? This is bizarro-world nonsense.
But hey, it's not like you're saying anything brave or stunning. You're just repeating the views of the corporate globalist elite who want their borderless world ruled by China, and endless wars in the middle east as long as they can make enough money out of it.
You're not even court jesters. Court jesters would at least speak truth to power. You're just power speaking to itself, congratulating itself on having Ministry-Approved views.

Biden is not a socialist4 year ago
Increasing taxes on the rich is not socialist. Its an attempt to prevent rich people from continuing to rip off the rest of the country. The middle class pays forty percent of their salary in taxes. The rich pay far less than forty percent. Alot of rich business owners pay no taxes. Someone earning over two million dollars a year should gladly pay fifty percent of their income in taxes. Biden will probably have them pay alot less than what is fair. Biden is a corporate democrat beholden to the corporate lobby. Trump tells suckers that biden is a socialist so they are stupid enough to vote for him.
Solomon4 year ago
People are calling Biden a socialist, or worse, because he wants to increase income tax on those earning more than $400000 per year!
Sadly, in the U.K., the marginal rate of Income tax on anyone earning more than the £ Sterling equivalent of over only approx. $80000 per annum is taxed at 40%—-& this under maybe the most right wing government that the U.K. has ever had!
So on that basis, if Biden is a socialist, Boris Johnson must be stark raving loony communist!

Left wing protesters who commit violence and looting need to be incarcerated. White supremacists who commit violence need to be incarcerated ed. Racist cops need to be fired and if they use excessive force incarcerated. Good cops need to be respected and supported. Minrities need to be protected from racism. President trump needs to be voted out for his handling of pandemic, his racism, being in bed with the dangerousNRa, ignoring climate change, calling mexicans racists, saying muslims should be banned from the country, telling the country not to wear a mask and to drink bleach, spreading the virus and killing people with his mass rallies and his dividing the country and not uniting it. Trumps words and actions will run him out of office not the media

Excellent points, and I’m glad you brought them up. Trump and his Lying Loonies would have everyone believe that Biden and the Democrats support protesters who commit violence and loot. They do NOT. Biden clearly condemned it. Trump’s henchmen would have people believe that Biden and the Democrats support aborting a baby at nine months. They do NOT. Trump’s Chumps want you to believe that Biden and the Democrats would do away with the police force, and let the rabble run amok. Not true. I received a flyer in the mail that was absolutely full of GOP lies and scare tactics. They have NOTHING else to do but lie and cheat because they can’t win honestly. Trump has gotten so brazen and outrageous with his lies that social media is fighting back, and Trump complains that he is being unfairly targeted!

No one needs to be duped by the media. You just have to listen to all the racist, mysogynistic and narcissitic things he says. Ninety percent of media are fair and impartial. Manbc is biased to the left and fox news is biased to the right. Cnn is impartial. Cnn does have a responsibility to report facts on worst president in american history.th e difference between manbc and fox news is that msnbc does not lie and all fox news does is lie. Fox news also barely covers one of the worst pandemics ever. Sean hannity, tucker carlson and laura ingram are delusional. So although msnbc is biased towards the left, they donot make things up and they do not ignore what is going on like fox. I dont care about hunter biden. I care about how incompetently von trump has handled the pandemic and the fact that he is a racist and white supremacist without human decency

Have read many of the comments pertaining to this article. All of them have missed the truth. First you must understand who actually rules over the government of the United States of Disgrace. The members of the U.S. congress, except for perhaps eight or nine, are completely bought and owned by Israel. When Netanyahu spoke to the U.S. congress in 2015 he was greeted with a five minute standing ovation by both republicans and democrats. The slaves bowing down to their slave master. Israel is the wealthiest industrialized nation in the middle east. Yet, the U.S. government gives Israel $3.8 Billion every year. Not to mention the thirty to forty billion dollar military aid hand out every few years. Okay, you should now understand this. Israel has great influence in the U.S. government and the U.S. mass media. Over 90% of the media information is controlled by six corporations. All six companies are run by zionists with close ties to Israel. This is where the orange turd comes in. Since the 1980s time and time again the mass media news programs would have news pertaining to orange turd. Here was this nobody, idiot, rich boy from New York but time and time again he would be in the news. For decades. Well who controls the U.S. news? Israel. Thanks to Jeffrey Epstein, Israel has video proof of orange turd raping children. So what better way to endear orange turd, Israel's very own owned stooge, to the lowest life scum bags in America? What else than to promote him on the Israeli controlled mass media. You see Israel has been grooming the idiots in America for decades for the coming trump. It all is quite brilliant if given some thought. The tiny occupational force of Israel controls the U.S. government. As a side note after Israel attacked the U.S. Navy ship U.S.S. Liberty in 1967 then president of the U.S. Lyndon Johnson was so afraid of the Israeli lobby he stated that he wished the Liberty and all it's crew would sink to the bottom of the ocean. Back to orange turd. All this derives from a prophecy. This is a recorded statement made by Benjamin Netanyahu in 1990, "America is a golden calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the world's biggest welfare state that we will create and control..... This is what we do to countries we hate. We destroy them very slowly". This is Israel's prophecy for America. This is Israel's prophecy taking place right in front of our eyes. The rest of the world should be very aware of the destruction of America. When the U.S. goes under it is going to negatively effect every human on earth that lives in an industrialized nation. Truly wish I had better news. But as orange turd, with hundreds of thousands of Americans dying because of his ownership by Israel said, "It is what it is".

President Trump is to me the opportunity that Americans were missing. He is the rotten symbol of a country which is fighting bravely against its decadence. He is courageous. His exposure, though, reverberates in an America which has become blind. He has, in a very intelligent manner, uncovered the poles of that Society. Instead of exploring the poles to subtract the opposite, the Amercians should double President Trump and build out of the poles. To uncover the poles demands courage. To build with them requires sense.

Neither the republican or democratic c party is willing to give the poor and middle class substantial tax cuts because they are beholden to corporate lobbyists. I dont want any suckers out there calling me a socialist. Iam a capitalist who believes its the job of government to regulate the excesses of capitalism. The rich are very fortunate and should have the decency to pay more in taxes. Paying athletes thirty million dollars a year or ceos will ne hundred million dollars a year is actually corporate socialism. A salary of five to ten million should be enough for anyone. Capitalism is a better system than socialism. Competition is good. The only xcess greed and indecency inherent in capitalism has to be monitored in a more equitable way.The guy at subway making the sandwiches should be valued more and the ceo should be valued a little less.

Wake up america about thinking trump was ever good for the economy. The way things stand many business owners either cheat on their taxes or are not required to pay much in taxes. I feel sorry for the middle class person who has a job on the books and earns eighty yrand a year and pays thirty five percent of his salary in taxes and is living check to check. When you give the rich a tax break they go to tahiti or sit on their money. It does not trickle down to the poor or middle class. If you give the poor or middle class a substantial tax cut it would stimulate the economy and increase consumer spending and increase human decency and fairness which is severely lacking in this country.

Suckers in this country bought the con mans portrayal of hillary. If hillary were elected one hundred thousand more peoplw ould be alive and the pandemic would probably be over or at least winding down. Hillary would have been much more presidential. Hillary is not a fascist or a traitor. Wake up america. Its ok to have a woman president. If it werent for women, trump would be reelected

Unfortunately Americans (all civil societies that voted these kinds of people into office) have to look at themselves first. Trump reflects who their society really is. Trump reflects Americans. This who the “majority’ are as he could get in for another 4 years. Trump is only one poor human being that 55 million Americans think is the leader for them. It’s rot from one inside. It’s a culture that is based on a “ me” first society, not a “we” society ( they think this is socialism!) Your society is who you vote in.

If you believe he did a good job with the economy before the pandemic than you are a sucker and being conned. The only person he cares about is the top one percent and himself. The rich pay no taxes with trump. He has not done anything for the poor or the middle class so wake up. Low unemployment does not equate with economic success. Alot of employed people are working part time or earning eight bucks an hour. He is a racist, a narcissist and a liar who projects and is mysogynistic. He helped kill one hundred thousand people with his ignoring the pandemic. He only cares about being teelected andmiscalculated when he did not realize a little human decency and getting pandemic under control is neded to get economy under control. If he did not dangerously hold rallies and told people to wear a mask he probably would have been reelected. Lets focus on the decent people who will vote him out of office than the indecent suckers. People should have realized six years ago when he campaigned that the status quo was much better rhan an incompetent, divisive corrupt racist. A businessman does not care about you. He cares about paying little in taxes. Trumpdoes not care about the middle class or even the upper middle class. Do you think its a coincidence we have had more gun violence and racist cops under his watch. He encourages violence. He is a loar who calls joe biden a socialist to scare all you suckers out there. Joe biden is a status quo corporate democrat but he is also a decent human being. Capitalism will overcome another four years of trump but i prefer that human decency be restored to the white house. Trump has already set us back thirty years on climate change, gun control, immigration, human decency, race relations and honesty. Any intelligent person knows that calling everything a hoax and calling the media fake news is all a charade to get his dopey sucker cult to vote for him. Alleging voter fraud before an election is trumps pathetic attempt to surpress the vote. All you dummies that voted for him last time who are now voting for biden, i forgive you. Capitalism will most likely be able to overcome four more years of trump but there is a chance that his indecent fascist mentality could end up doing irreperable harm

Last year, I started on Parkinsons disease herbal treatment from Perfect Herbal Life, this natural herbal treatment totally reversed my Parkinson’s disease. The treatment worked incredibly for my Parkinson’s disease, i have a total decline in symptoms including tremors, stiffness, slow movement and others.

Winifred M: if this writer were to attend a rally and watched Herr Trumpf in action and listened to the vile incoherent utterances Trumpf spews, he would write an even more scathing opinion. Please put down the pitcher of orange Kool-aid before you too are unable to form a coherent sentence like the Con man in Chief who is currently soiling the seat of POTUS.

Winifred,
I bet he will too. I'm quite sure that listening to Trump for an hour would make him come to the conclusion that waterboarding is more preferable than listening to him drone on about what he can do and will do in the next four years that he promised he would do 4 years ago and never did.

Thank you, Juanita. Perfectly said. Winifred, attend a rally? Never!
Look around. Does the country look better to you now? Do you want mining,
concrete roads in National Parks? Do you want to breathe and drink clean water?
Do you care that we have no friends except corrupt dictators?
That we have a “President” who lies every single day? Who promotes nepotism in
the WH? Who still hasn’t apologized to the Central Park Five or President Obama for harassment? Who chose and chooses the worst people to fill positions in return for blind loyalty. Could go on for at least another hour...just one last thing, the biggest LIAR.
And for our Canadian friends, it was a stolen election...

There are Americans who think about life historically, and about history internationally, and we revere the Anglo-American alliance, no matter the bumpy stretches. We deeply regret the time America wasted in joining the defense of Europe against Hitler, and I will never forget the day I came upon the American window in St. Paul’s—I wept without pause in reciprocal gratitude.
And to my dread and puzzlement, there are Americans who don’t care what happened in Europe once the British and French were out of 1795 America, and once we were out of 1945 France. They don’t know that France was our first friend, that England became our best, that we trivialized the admiration extended us by Germany, Russia and Japan. They don’t understand that Russia and China and Iran don’t want war because they know war like few nations. These Americans couldn’t find France or Russia or Iran or Afghanistan on a globe, caring only that America’s the exception to concords and conventions with which everyone else willingly thrives or responsibly abides. These Americans are a verifiable minority, even if our leaky ship of state allows them, undemocratically, to strut through tenures of unearned power.
Thank you for the good, true essay, along with the laughs, but the Americans who’ve read Locke and Paine look forward to removing our punchline.

Just as the New World was plural—The Americas—from the beginning, Americans are naturally a plural people, though not always to poetic or exuberant ends. There are Americans who think about life historically, and about history internationally, and we revere the Anglo-American alliance, no matter the bumpy stretches. We cherish our birth in the Age of Enlightenment, and deeply regret the time America wasted in joining the defense of 1940s Europe against the Enemies of Light. I will never forget the day I came upon the American window in St. Paul’s—I wept without pause in reciprocal gratitude.
And to our dread and puzzlement, there are other Americans who don’t care what happened in Europe once the British and French were out of 1795 America, or once we were out of 1945 France. They don’t know that France was our first friend, that England became our best, that we trivialized the early admiration extended us by Germany, Russia and Japan. They don’t understand that Russia and China and Iran don’t want war because they’ve known war like few nations. These Americans couldn’t find France or Russia or Iran or Afghanistan on a globe, caring only that America remain the exception to concords and conventions with which everyone else willingly thrives or responsibly abides. These Americans are a verifiable minority, even if our leaky ship of state allows them, undemocratically, to strut through tenures of unearned power.

No, he hasn't helped America in its position in the world at all. Coming from a culture where selfishness is the highest virtue, it's no wonder he behaves the way he does, bullying and throwing his weight around as if he can get cooperation by pushing people.
Achievements? Further alienating China and Iran, and bringing us to the brink of war with Korea are achievements?
So it's OK to lie about who is paying for the disastrous rounds of tariffs?
Spitting in the eyes of our allies is making America great? Kissing the asses of dictators is good for democracy?
Trying to take credit for the economic growth resulting from the guidance of Obama and claiming craedit for the meager improvements in the incomes of some racial minorities is not an achievement. It's just another lie.
His attitude to the little guy is "Tough shit.. Just step on them". From this standpoint it's no wonder he fails to recognize the need for the anti-police brutality protests, and unconstitutionally sends his brown-shirts in to make illegal detentions.
He sides with Israel to the detriment of the Palestinians, and any idea of a two-state solution is finally lost. He also sides with the dictatorship of Saudi Arabia, and holds no hope of asking them to cool it in Yemen. In all his fighting with China, he never once demanded any ounce of civility to be dealt out to the Uighars. Scoffs at the demands of those in Hong Kong. Never mentions the Tibetans. Of course, the retort would be, "But, you in the United States are not that good to your won minorities, are you?"
We will be lucky to be rid of him before he causes the next world war.

For that segment of my fellow countrymen who form Trump's cortege, you ask what moves them? I would have to say fear. Fear transports them. Once the crisis is past they will come around. Apart from all those messy little policings we inherited when the Empire went belly-up from a surfeit of furor teutonicus, America has only gone seriously to war when some one has raised our taxes, kidnapped our sailors, broken our country, sunk our battleships, torpedoed our merchant vessels, or bombed our vacation resorts. We may have to fuss and fidget a bit before we comprehend the situation,
but in the end we always come shining through. So you have nothing, really, to worry about. It's early days yet, Mother, but know that your offspring will soon come Trumplessly roaring back to resume their proper place in the barrel.

He sure ain’t nice, as they might say in America. I don’t think anyone with half a brain would deny that. Witty and nuanced he ain’t either. Neither cultured nor temperate, and certainly not given to humour. And, yes, he is a bully, for sure. He possesses none of the virtues set out so eloquently by the writer of the above piece. But the article takes no account of what his achievements. Trump gets things done. He stands up to a bigger, nastier bully in China, he has scrapped a bad nuclear weapons deal with Iran (that needed someone of Trump’s stature to recognise it for what it was). Also, the US under his leadership have pressed allies to make a fairer contribution of GDP to NATO, he’s the first President ever to have persuaded Arab countries to accord diplomatic recognition to Israel, and his economic policies have done more to improve the economic circumstances of African Americans and Hispanics than any of his predecessors. So, leaving aside his character flaws (upon flaws) I would suggest that his record in foreign affairs and in economics equip him far better than his opponent in this presidential race to promote America’s best interests in the world. Isn’t that more important than the undisputed fact that he’s a turd?

Many of his supporters actually feel embarrassed to admit it. For others, they often have one main issue they are happy to let him work on, and often say they wish he would hold back on some of the ill-considered tweets.
One of the things that puts so many Americans on edge is the way he flouts the long-standing conventions and rules, and attempts to rule like a dictator.
His waving the red flag in front of Nazis and KKK types, and his ambition to disregard the results of an election that goes against him makes our hair stand on end. (Even those who have his kind of flabby hair).

An Ex-Brit here, living in the US for 50 years. The worst thing about Trump is that he represents a full 30% of the American public. And make no mistake, his minions will 'not go gentle into that dark night'. Guns and ammunition sales have gone through the roof. Trump has encouraged them to "stand by". It is dangerous out here, and I fear for the country when Trump declares the election was rigged and the Democrats have stolen the election.

He has corrupted the Department of Justice, packed, or will pack the Supreme Court, insulted the disabled, and good soldiers who have given their lives for the country, but let me not go on any longer.

To understand his following better, read "The Cult of Trump" by Steven Hassan. It happened in Germany; its happening here. I believe this reign of error and terror will end soon. But all countries need to watch this and beware. This could happen anywhere. Psychological warfare via social media makes this even more likely to happen. When foreign enemies , especially Russia, have their tentacles into government, as in the UK, it's even more of a threat. But i am optimistic that clear eyed people from democracies around the world will learn from this and work together to protect ourselves and spread democracy and freedom.

America is looking for a savior to get rid of our corrupt government. Donald Trump came along at a time when the epitome of corrupt politicians happened to be running for President, Hilary Clinton. The peoples dislike for her along with the peoples dissatisfaction with our government enabled Donald Trump to be elected. Fortunately, his complete lack of ability to govern is obvious. It is doubtful that he will win the coming election because rational minds have seen the chaos that he has caused. The people who are dissatisfied with our government are still very much dissatisfied, so while Trump will be defeated this time this isn't over yet. The time will come when another savior will come along and hopefully succeed in ridding the government of career politicians and those who have sold us out.

Everything he said is true. When I saw Trump walk ahead of the Queen when he was in England I was so embarrassed. Even back then Trump thought he was more important than Queen Elizabeth. She is not our queen, but he was in her country. He is the most crude man who lies, then lies about the lies he told. He has no tact, honor, morals, no empathy or brains.

I simply want to tell you what I observed today. Their (Trump fans) demeanor makes an obvious statement. I was traveling through the quite little town of Sequim Washington today. Trump fans on the west side of the main intersection and those supporting Biden were across the same intersection on the east side. I was stopped at this intersection waiting for the light to change. Trump fans were screaming and yelling at the top of their lungs as they flung signs and flags to n’ fro! They were angry! Cross this intersection you will find Biden fans waving at motorists, no screaming and yelling but chanting Biden/Harris. They looked happy to be exercising their rights to peacefully protest. Moving on I reflected what I just witnessed. I can’t take four more years of “Angry”. Sorry, Trump. I found a new place to stand!

I am for my children and grandchildren to be able to choose their own path in life, including how and where their children are educated.
I am for our borders to be open to everyone who enters under our law and closed to everyone who would circumvent or ignore the law.
I am for the Electoral College to remain in place, so that a few heavily populated liberal centers do not control the elections.
I am for a Supreme Court that interprets the Constitution rather than rewrites it.
I am for teaching history, with all its warts, not erase it or revise it.
I am for the sanctity of life from conception to birth and after.
M4 year ago
Your points would all be good ones, but each one is missing something:
Not voting on personality, but on principle, is fine, but remember: Trump is all about personality, and ha only has two principles: self-aggrandizement, and denigration of others.
Trump wouldn't know a founding principle if he fell on it. He holds up things like gun rights only to appeal to his murderous base, and supports free speech only when the speakers are maskless, infectious racists.
As the immigrant from India said during the last election, "If you don't know what the Constitution is about, you can borrow my copy" He regularly tramples on the Constitution when he abuses the rights of minorities, and tries to undermine a free and fair election (add attacks on the Post Office, corrupt using of his office for personal profit, and several more).
A strong and viable military . . .Yet he insults our men in uniform, calling them losers, etc.
A vibrant economy? Yeah, except after Obama painstakingly brought it back from total devastation under Bush, Trump wasted little time in creating a huge deficit with his tax breaks for the rich, and when that wasn't enough, stretcing out the pandemic, so that we now are not just a trillion, but 3 or 4 trillion dollars in debt.
Too bad Trump stared at the top at birth, and slowly dragged himself downward. People should have the opportunity to pull themselves up, but Trump doesn't like "losers' and rather than help create opportunity, he rips people off with his phony private colleges, and laughs at their plight.
Trump says he supports religion, but it seems that only applies if you're a christian of a certain brand.
Our nation was founded on Enlightenment principles, by people who were mainly Christian, but who realized the danger of elevating one religion over the others, and made that a part of the Constitution. It restricts the gov't from favoring one belief over the others, but some seem to think that Muslims, Jews, or Buddhists are not religious.
The Supreme Court needs to remember that the 14th amendment for equal protection under the law was written after the civil War to open opportunity for freed Black people, not to make multi-billion dollar multi-national corporations equal to (and richer than) an individual in court. Both the right and left wings of the Supreme Court write decisions that have the effect of overturning laws intended for other things by Congress.
Teaching history with all its warts...very good....Too bad Trump failed at history in school.
Too bad Trump only mouths support for right to life, but tears kids from their parents at the border and cuts food stamps for poor mothers who didn't have abortions.
"All men are created equal, and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights...to life, liberty, and the pusuit of happiness, and it is to this end that governments are established.." . . .Does it say "Only white, Christian, legally documented Americans are created equal"? That is the way Trump seems to interpret it, as he tramples on the rights of immigrants seeking to apply for asylum at the border.
Add to all this his destruction of our long-time alliances abroad, and saber-rattling, failing to renew nuclear disarmament agreements, and rashly pushing the world to the brink of disaster.
It will be a relief to be rid of him. If he doesn't rush into the arms of the Saudis, or Putin, he will probably go right to jail after out of office.

Unfortunately, republiturds are in a dilemma for the November 3rd election as there has been no viable alternative to the giant orange maggot (GOM). If they support conservative politics, but hate GOM, they will vote it back for another 4 years rather than not vote at all or vote for Biden. A win win for Joe! A possible solution for this dilemma would be an abstention option on the ballot. Although this would not determine a winner, it would be an important statistic for analysing the political spectrum of the electorate. Another option would be mandatory voting to accurately determine a statistically significant estimate of the political persuasion nationwide. Mail in ballots everywhere would solve the many reasons for low voter turnout, such as bad weather, long waits at polling stations, health reasons, etc. True proportional representation is but a dream. I realise that this will never happen as long as the USA adheres to its ludicrous Electoral College and outdated Constitution that keeps a 21st century country in an 18th century mindset.
As a British immigrant, I love living in the USA but fear that, under GOM, the country is slipping into fascism due to the blinkered attitude of his republiturd followers as happened in 1930s Europe. There’s no cure for stupidity!

Your succinct review of the President is one of the most accurate I have read. Trump is a national disgrace and causes me, a proud American to bow my head in embarrassment that he supposedly represents the best in us. Former Chief of staff under Trump, John Kelly recently stated; “The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it’s more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life.” I have not had the displeasure to work with/for Donald, but I am sure John Kelly's sentiment is a widely held one, but unfortunately very few people seem to exhibit the honesty of Mr. John Kelly.

This article is the most beautifully written Trump critique ever expressed. It will never be surpassed. It's accuracy is flawless. However, someone or something behind this debacle named Trump is not stupid. To get certain people to funnel themselves willingly into only watching one tv channel and distrusting all other sources has been built up brilliantly. To bring a Populist type of leader into the mix showed excellent timing. I find that very scary.
I agree with the author that seeing the followers of Trump has been a nightmare. I have been shocked to see that nearly half of my country is populated by bigots that can't think. That anybody could take Trump seriously is a revelation to me. That people actually find this smarmy, liar Trump appealing has sickened me to my core. Their persistence in their bad judgement has been utterly baffling. I am depressed and completely disheartened by the stubborn stupidity and cruelty shown by close to half the population. The rock I used to stand on, that most people are basically good, has turned to slippery, smelly crap underneath my feet. I'm sure few to no people will read my long cry of anguish, and I do apologize for it being so long. All I really want to say is; Outstanding and beautiful writing British person! Thank you for expressing Trump's attributes so clearly and with literary finesse. I truly loved reading it!

I agree completely with you. The fact that 30+ percent of our citizens actually like this guy and agree VIOLENTLY with him says something awful about American parenting and education of those generations. Most of us are gobsmacked by his/their behavior and hope to god (if there is one, which I doubt) that he is unable to steal this election too. Most of us are afraid to use yard signs or bumper stickers, knowing that retribution is possible and likely. Hell, we don't even know how to vote in such a way as to safeguard our vote. For once, I am grateful to be old.

Stefan, All politicians are liars. You are correct. He is no different than anyone else who came before him. The difference is that this man does not have the qualifications, experience or intelligence to run a country and deal with all of the different aspects that keep it glued together and functioning. Our country is in chaos on several levels and Trump has no plan in place to resolve that. As a nation he is bankrupting us with his lack of leadership and I don't mean just financially. We are spiraling downward and as much as I don't think Biden is the man we need, I do think that he has the common sense that Trump lacks to put us back on the track to normalcy.

Jim B, and others who discredit Joe Biden's memory or ability to articulate: he has been willing to share that he is a stutterer. Those of us who had a real glimpse into this challenge via the film, The President's Speech, can get a sense of this. I've never been a stutterer, but I am a very bright woman - who used to get panic attacks. I think they are similar.
When I was reminded that Joe is a stutterer - there was even footage early on in the campaign of him interacting with a young child who stutters - I remembered to look past his bungled words (which he then corrects) and remember to look back into his heart: I believe it is the heart of the America I want to be a part of going forward.
Trump is the epitome of a black magician. We need to be constantly on guard of what he is really up to because he is an overwhelming,wearying, manic distraction.

Here we go again, lol. Obama did not care about the American people much less the military. He was generous with our money. He built mosques all over the world on our dime. He was more than willing to fund terrorist countries like Iran, with our money. His wife said we should all expect less so there is more pie to go around for everyone. But, not her share of the pie..of course. Obama said a wall around our borders was wrong, while he added a wall around his new house. This article is nothing but a hit job. BTW, “you’d be in jail” is hilarious! Hack!
Ann T4 year ago
FACT CHECK, Marv!! Obama did NOT build mosques around the world, but that’s the way folks like you interpret it, because that’s the kind of crap you read on actual fake news sites. A simple fact check would tell you that the Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation was created by Congress in 2000 under Clinton, and the first recipients were announced under Bush. The Ambassadors Fund “provides direct grant support for the preservation of cultural sites, cultural objects, and collections, as well as forms of traditional cultural expression, in eligible countries around the world.” U.S. ambassadors nominate projects to be funded. More mosque restorations were announced under Bush than Obama, and Obama announced more church restorations than Bush.
Obama cared enough about the American people to create the Affordable Care Act, which millions of people count on so that they won’t lose their homes because of a catastrophic illness, such as COVID-19, Trump’s gift to the citizens of America. And it’s TRUMP who is trying his best to take it away.

Yes, I know what the history books state, and I've viewed the old newsreels of throngs of people packing the various venues for their leader, but I failed to comprehend how they could allow such a tyrant to ascend. Then, as rights were eliminated, the press destroyed, anyone with a voice eliminated or picked up and not heard from again, I thought, did they not see what was happening in front of them? Why did they not rise up and squelch this madness, this blight on democracy? Now I understand. It was not all of Germany, and many tried to prevent this evil from becoming the new law of the land. People did see what was happening, but were unable to stop it. This time, we are are able.

Kit, you only have to google Niemoeller to understand what enabled the rise of Nazi Germany. Having spent quite a bit of time in Germany, and having made many friends there, I spent lots of hours wondering how these warm and welcoming people could be only one generation apart from the monsters that murdered in the most horrible ways, six million of my forbears. Look around today. People that you know, will say "yes, he is a horrible person, but look at the economy". "I know he's a racist but look at how he has brought China to heel". There is no way to excuse "there are good people on both sides" so we just won't talk about it. In Niemoeller's time it was the good people that stood by and stood down. We can't afford to do that now. In a few short weeks we will have the opportunity to show the world who we are....and to save our own souls. Let's not fail to do the right thing.

It was the happiest time of my life. And while I'm a Yank through and through--thankfully, Trump hasn't trashed the expansive beauty of our nation--it was particularly enjoyable for me living in the most civilized city in the world.

He’ll lose the popular vote 40/60 and still be elected, due to our ridiculous ‘Winner Takes All” system. We, too, are baffled and frightened by the 40% who support him.

C Donahue your president has demonstrated the absolute worst characteristics ever seen in any political "leader" (and I use that term loosely, as he has done nothing that could be even remotely considered leadership), in the entire recorded history of mankind. For all his astonishingly numerous shortcomings and breathtakingly absurd behaviour, he possesses not one redeeming feature, not a microgram of anything that even the most generous of observers could judge to be a worthy or admirable quality. These last 4 years, the vast majority of the world has watched on with a mixture of awe, bemusement and no small amount of trepidation, as the United states of America, once a beacon of social, economic and political leadership, has descended into the steaming shitpile of unrest, discord, joblessness and hatefulness that is currently plaguing the American people. Covid-19 has of course made the situation incalculably worse, but if anything, this pandemic and subsequent health & economic crisis has only served to highlight the utter incompetence and appalling lack of leadership skills possessed by the person in the most powerful political office in the world and the ignorant sycophants with whom he has surrounded himself. History will remember him as being, by several orders of magnitude, the worst thing to have ever happened to the USA, and it will take decades for your nation to fully recover from the dreadful mess he's made.

He destroyed ISIS, killed countless terrorists without going to war (even though everyone said we’d be in World War III by now) and kept the peace. Do you dislike that?
Does it bother you that we’re now energy independent and the largest producer of energy in the world?
Do you dislike him because he started to build a wall to keep criminals and drugs from coming into our country and because he respects, honors and defends our country’s borders?
Do you dislike him because he just slashed the price for prescription drugs (In some cases by 50%) which is driving Big Pharma nuts?
Do you dislike that he met with the leader of North Korea, averted war with that country and brought a halt to their aggressive missile testing? Was that wrong?
Do you dislike that he signed a law ending the gag-order on pharmacists that prevented them from sharing money-saving options on prescriptions?
Do you dislike that he signed the Save Our Seas Act which funds millions per year to clean tons of plastic and garbage from the ocean? Does that bother you?
Do you dislike that he signed a bill for airports to provide breast-feeding stations for nursing moms?
Do you dislike that he signed the biggest wilderness protection and conservation bill in a decade designating 375,000 acres as protected land, making him the most significant conservation president since Teddy Roosevelt?
Does it irk you that he loves America, and puts Americans first? Is that the problem?
Do you dislike that he made a gay man the ambassador to Germany and then asked him to clean up national security, declassifying as much of it as possible for transparency?
Do you dislike that he works for free, donating his salary to a different charity each quarter? Do you dislike that his economic policies have produced the lowest Black unemployment rate ever?
Do you dislike that he listened to Senator Tim Scott and created opportunity zones to help minorities?
Do you dislike that he passed prison reform, which gives people a second chance and has made quite a huge difference for minorities in particular?
Do you dislike that he produced the lowest Hispanic unemployment rate ever? Do you dislike that he passed VA reforms to benefit the very people who served our country and defended our freedom?
Do you dislike that he got rid of the job-killing NAFTA trade deal, got tough on trade with China and negotiated new trade deals with Mexico, Canada and other countries that benefit American workers?
Do you dislike that he loves our flag and embraces a policy of unabashed, non-apologetic patriotism? Do you have a problem with that?
Do you dislike that he calls out the media and attempts to correct them when they are wrong?
Do you dislike that he’s bringing troops home and ending America’s longest war? Do you want the war to continue? Do you dislike that he has made a commitment to end child-trafficking and crimes against humanity and his policies have brought about thousands of arrests already?
Do you dislike that he extended the offshore drilling ban along both Florida coasts as well as the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina? Are you bothered by that?
Do you dislike he’s brought home over 40 Americans held captive, the last one from Iran?
Do you dislike that he was a Billionaire before he ran for President and now is worth at least one-third less… because he loves America THAT MUCH?
Or do you dislike that he’s making the world pay their fair share to the United Nations?
Do you dislike that he respects cops, veterans, ICE and all first responders?
Do you dislike that he does not sell out America to other countries, like the leaders prior to him have done?
Do you dislike that he’s forced our NATO allies and others to finally pay their fair share to support important multi-national alliances?
Do you dislike that he moved our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem which is the rightful capital of the Jewish state?
Do you dislike that he signed the Right To Try law allowing terminally ill patients access to experimental therapies?
This list is hardly a complete list of what President Trump has accomplished in four years.
There’s actually more — a lot more.
But hopefully, you get the idea.
Nobody is asking you to love President Trump. Nobody is asking you to be his best friend. In fact, you don’t even have to like him.
But just take a moment to give this some mature thought and you’ll find that you’d be less than fair and honest if you did not recognize all that he’s accomplished for America — often against overwhelming odds and with powerful special interests aligned against him.
So, try to put aside emotionalism and arbitrary and capricious preferences for now, avoid the temptation to demonize the president and focus on who’s really effective; who has the vision, stamina and determination to do the job; who gets things done and who’s going to continue to solve our problems and keep America on the right track moving forward.
Think it through. Then, vote Trump!

Wake up. Trump is a narcissist, a racist, mysogynistic, a liar and a projector. He is incompetent, divisive, racist and corrupt. He has done nothing for the economic nomy other than give huge tax breaks to the rich. He has killed one hundred thousand people by ignoring the pandemic. He has set us back thirty years on gun control, race relations, climate change and immigration. His calling everything a hoax and calling the media fake news is his pathetic attempt to get support from his deranged cult followers. Alleging voter fraud before anyone has voted is his pathetic attempt to surpress the vote. Historians have already said he will go down in history as the worst president in american history. He has brainwashed all you suckers to watch fox news which is a fascist racist lying fake news network

To understand how Trump beat the Republican establishment and HRC, read the book "The county that elected Trump" by Bill Bradlee, former editor of the Boston Globe and son of Ben Bradlee of Washington Post fame. It will provide you with the underlying reasons why Americans chose him vs. the other MAJOR candidates on the R side and then again vs. HRC. I don't know the details of British politics but our systems on both sides of the aisle are corrupted by money, first. money, second, money, third, favoritism, fourth. And of course, our 24/7 media that always wins. But the main reason Trump won is that the everyday American who gets up and goes to work is losing ground and faith in a system that seems to reward the privileged at the expense of the everyday Americans who juggle their books just to "keep a roof over their heads and food on the table". I, for one, can't stand to listen to him or even watch him ... But during these past 3 years, until Covid, we had the lowest level of unemployment in decades and market performance that increased retirement portfolios in double digits to name 2 important measurements. Who should get some of the credit but doesn't?

Bob4 year ago
What is it about human perception and creativity that even something or someone loathsome can become an interesting quagmire. Trump came through the system no different than any other politician. The old guard is pissy about the new kid on the block who is an outsider and they're doing whatever they can to get back in. Funny enough I've never liked Trump and still not a fan but call a spade a spade. The MIC and its benifactors are unhappy because no new war fronts are being allowed. Irony or not it took someone like Trump to steer the US away from a war capitalist economy to a more business capitalist economy.
I agree with how you describe Trump and compare him to Obama but the question you need to ask is do you prefer a filterless loathsome person who inevitably and perhaps unintentionally does something positive for the long run or a pretensious and self serving rockstar persona who will do nothing to truly appreciate the masses but is nevertheless a rockstar. The US didn't get into this state over night.
We share a tiny planet and look how well pretend has worked out for All of us.

Nonetheless this president has delivered what other presidents in the past have had failed to do. We elect a president for his/her ability translating into viable positive outcomes for the society at large.
Prior to the advent of pandemic , the economy was thriving, unemployment was the lowest in (recent) history, Middle East peace accord against all odds, more equitable trade deals, etc. to list a few. You have to ask yourself whether you want a president who is ample on external niceties but short on any significant achievements for the society or vice versa?

I want one who doesn’t watch Fox News all day long. I want a grownup who respects women, and doesn’t think their body parts are there for him to grab. I want a president who understands that working with other countries (whether it’s with trade talks, climate control, or peace agreements), is important to the U.S. and the rest of the world. I want a president who doesn’t kiss Putin’s arse, or step into North Korean territory in hopes of getting a Nobel Peace Prize. I want a president who isn’t a cult leader.

The economy was not thriving. Wake upand smell the coffee. The only people that have benefited from trump economically are the wealthy who do not have to pay taxes with trump.

He has killed one hundred thousand people with his refusal to deal with the pandemic which has run the economy into the ground. He promotes gun killings.

I was thoroughly sickened from the moment he announced his intention to run, and was even more disgusted & alarmed that he was taken seriously -- he is obviously an evil - yes, evil! - man not known for his long, long, long history of past deeds (from my knowledge of his 'work' from the late 60's - 90's in NYC). Oh Great Universe just 3 weeks, 3 more weeks and I pray the orange clan will be dragged out of our lives and we can regain some sense of democracy, integrity, truth, honesty and dignity... and even a sense of humor.

Your assessment of Mr. Trump is accurate. He is in the White House today because of the arcane Electoral College, which overturned the public election (Trump lost the popular vote by nearly three million votes). Many Americans have passed the last nearly four years in outrage, anger, and, as the next presidential election draws near, increasing anxiety that he could possibly win another four years.

Actually listening to Trump every day and reading what he Tweets feels the same way. A total waste of almost 4 years that someone now has to rebuild instead of build upon. When Obama left office and rebuilt the economy after Bush destroyed it he left Trump with the means to Make America Great Again. Trump chose to dismantle everything Obama did out of spite and now once again someone new has to clean up the mess that Trump and his cronies made and start rebuilding it again. How quickly you forgot.

I have recently been following the USA upcoming elections and have tried to keep an open mind. I agree that Trump is not your traditional slick smooth looking political puppet like Obama (who along with the Clinton were and still are involved in the most horrific things such as child trafficking etc) but people are starting to see what these people are really like.
Can you truly say hand on heart that Joe Biden has got the American peoples interests as his main priority. The media dont like trump because he shows up the media and the corrupt system and when ever he is shown on UK media, they choose to show selected clips.
As i say i dont support any side, & i was never a Trump supporter but i praise him for trying to bring all the horrid and sick people in power to justice for their terrible crimes. My question to you is, Have youwritten an article on Joe Biden? Have you researched his past, his current 'brilliant' speeches, his links with the Clintons and credentials to be the next President.

And we will do whatever it takes — even if that means electing a rude, obnoxious, unpredictable, narcissist (your words not ours) to the office of President of the United States — because the thing we find more dangerous to this nation than Donald Trump is YOU.

By removing statues of slave owners?]], to tearing down our borders [[Last I checked, the border and border patrol are still perfectly intact. BTW, Trump never got funding to build his wall.]].
From systematically destroying our schools [[It's been a bipartisan governmental effort to spend inordinately more money on the military than schools, after school programs, and arts funding for schools]] and brainwashing our kids into believing socialism is the answer to anything (despite being an unmitigated failure everywhere) [[Democratic socialism / = / socialism; BTW, if you have ever called the police, called the fire department, or traveled down a highway, or accepted Social Security ... guess what? You've participated in democratic socialism! Go ahead and refuse your Social Security and Medicare benefits when you retire, though, if it makes you feel better]], while demonizing religion and faith [[Nah, most people just demonize super churches after YOUR money, and the Catholic Church for covering up decades of sexual abuse]], and glorifying abortion [[the right to choose is not glorifying abortion; also, tell that to a young girl who has been raped by a family member]], violence [[Well, now you're grasping at straws with a statement so broad it's difficult to know exactly what you mean]], and thug culture [[Are you insinuating that my 93 year old mother listens to gangster rap? Because I'll tell you, Sinatra and Vivaldi are more her tune]].
From calling us racists every time we expect everyone of any skin color to follow our laws equally [[Nope, just everytime a black person is shot for ... hanging out in the park while being black, shopping while being black, bird watching while being black, sleeping in their own home while being black, jogging while being black, etc. ad nauseum]] to gaslighting us about 52 genders, polyamory, grown men in dresses sharing public locker rooms with little girls, and normalize the sexualization of young children [[I don't think gaslighting means what you think it means; also, tell me what you think about all the Matthew Shepherds of the world]], you simultaneously ridicule us for having the audacity to wish someone a “Merry Christmas” or hang a flag on the 4th of July [[You're conflating opinion that corporations should consider more generic holiday greetings with individuals, try not to be so defensive]], stand for the national anthem [[You're conflating conservative horror over professional athletes choosing to take a knee with spectactors in the grandstands, who can do whatever they darn well please]], or (horror of horrors) don a MAGA hat in public [[You're conflating our horror over any thinking person's belief that 45 has the capacity to do anything great at all, let alone improve our nation, with wearing a cap with four letters on it -- go ahead, you be you]].
So much for your “tolerance.” [[What's really funny is that you're demonstrating, in this message, the thing you're decrying with air quotes.]]
(See why we think you are just hypocrites??) [[No, not really. But I'm still listening.]]
We’re also not interested in the fact that you think you can unilaterally decide that 250 years of the right-to-bear-arms against a tyrannical or ineffective government should be abolished because you can’t get the violence in the cities you manage under control [[Democracy does not allow for unilateral decision making. That you think it does indicates why you seem to be comfortable with 45s penchant for authoritarian rule. Also, last I checked, a flock of your cohorts stormed a state capital bearing assault rifles and walked away without a scratch on them, so not quite sure what you are worried about. Also, not sure why you think you need to bring a gun to an idea fight.]] Although most peace loving people would agree that That free-speech should be tossed out the window [[Wait, what? Does that include this missive?]], and that those who disagree with your opinions are fair game for public harassment or doxing [[Hey! We finally agree! Doxing bad. Unless it's a citizen pretending their part of a "militia" who thinks they are on a "mission to protect America" and feel the need to storm a state capital because ... ideas]]. That spoiled children with nose-rings and tats who still live off their parent’s dime [[I think I can speak on behalf of a generation of young Republican, Democrat, Green, Libertarian, and undecided young adults born at the wrong time that our crap economy has left them no choice but to still live with their parents while they sling lattes and grocery bags]] should be allowed to destroy cities and peoples livelihoods without repercussions [[Ok, what? Where? How? When? Oh ... you're thinking of agent provocateurs planted at peaceful protests.]] That chaos, and lawlessness, and disrespect for authority should be the norm [[Nope, just treating people equally, regardless of the color of their skin, their gender, their socio-economic class, their religion, etc. etc.]].
This is your agenda. [[No, it's not. Not by a verrrrryyyy loooonnnngggg shooootttttt.]] And you wonder why we find you more dangerous than Donald Trump? [[Yes, I am still wondering.]]
Your narrative is a constant drone of oppressor/oppressed race-baiting intended to divide the country in as many ways as you possibly can [[Well, let's do a use case: Do you think a posse of Black men, armed to the gills, could have stormed a state capital and made it out alive? If you answered, "Yes!" you are not paying attention]]. You love to sell “victim-hood” to people of color every chance you get because it’s such an easy sell [[Well, not an easy sell, more like ample examples: starting with Breonna Taylor and work your way back to slave ships]], compared to actually teaching people to stand on their own two feet and take personal responsibility for their own lives and their own communities and their own futures. [[Systemic racism aside, the idea of American rugged individualism is an absurd myth -- start growing your own food and looming your own cloth and making your clothes and mining your own water and harvesting your own herbs to make your own medicine, then get back to us; equal opportunity, equal pay for equal work, higher minimum wages, medicare for all, THAT'S the ask]] But you won’t do that, you will never do that, because then you will lose control over people of color [[I have no idea what you are talking about here]]. They might actually start thinking for themselves, God forbid!
This is why we will vote for Donald Trump. [[Because you've completely misconstrued "Leftist" ideology?]]
Not because he is the most charming character on the block. [[Yay, we agree!]]
Not because he is the most polite politician to have ever graced the oval office. [[Agreed again! We're getting somewhere!]]
Not because he is the most palatable choice, or because we love his moral character or because the man never lies [[Oh ... so ... wait, you're admitting that you're ok with a lying, immoral, unpalatable, impolite, un-charming President?!]], but because we are sick to death of you and all of the destructive crap you are doing to this once beautiful and relatively safe country [[See prior paragraphs]].
Your ineffective and completely dysfunctional liberal “leadership”(?) has literally destroyed our most beautiful cities, our public education system [[Cite examples, please; until then, it's nigh impossible to discuss]], and done it’s damndest to rip faith out of people’s lives [[I don't believe I've ever heard of NPR-tote wielding liberals storming Super Churches preventing people from dropping money in a basket, but if you mean people opposed to any blurred lines between church and state, then yes, they are guilty ... of upholding the Constitution of the United States of America]].
However bad Donald Trump may be, and he is far from perfect, every day we look at you and feel that no matter what Donald Trump says or does there is no possible way he could be any worse for our country than you people are [[See prior paragraphs; also, recklessly flouting the Constitution is very much a bad thing, you should know that as a "patriot.]]
We are sick to death of your stupid, destructive, ignorant, and intolerant behavior and beliefs — parading as “wokeness.” We are beyond sick of your hypocrisy and B.S. [[I don't address ad hominen attacks. Next.]]
We are fed up with your disrespectful divisiveness [[The goal is equality for all -- race, gender, "class," ability, etc., not sure how that got translated into "divisiveness;" speaking of divisiveness, you may want to watch terms such as, "stupid," "ignorant," "dysfunctional," "complete and utter nonsense," "despicable," "stupid (again!)," etc.]] and constant unrelenting harping and whining and complaining (while you live in the most privileged nation in the world) [[If you mean wanting to hold our public officials and police departments to higher standards, color us guilty!]], while making literally zero contributions of anything positive to our society [[Generalized hyperbole is difficult to respond to; also, I don't think "literally" means what you think it means]]. Your entire focus is on ripping things down, never ever building anything up [[See note about generalized hyperbole above]]. Think about that as there is something fundamentally very wrong in the psychology of people who choose destruction as their primary modus operandi. [[Does this include Kyle Rittenhouse?]]
When Donald J Trump is reelected, don’t blame us, look in the mirror and blame yourselves [[For not protesting until the 25th was invoked?]].
Because you are the ones that are responsible for the rise of Donald Trump. You are the ones who have created this "monster" that you so despise, by your very actions. By your refusal to respect your fellow Americans, and the things that are important to us. [[I still fail to see how you are being impacted by anyone on the left: Are you still allowed to carry your gun? Go to your church? Wear you MAGA swag? Write long screeds finger pointing at anyone not ascribing to your beliefs? Vote for whom you want to vote? Marry who you want to marry? Live where you want to live? Work where you are able to work? Eat what you want to eat? Read what you want to read? Watch media that you want to watch? What exactly has been taken from you? What freedom has been denied to you?]]
You have made fun of the “fly-over states,” the people who “cling to their guns and religion,” the middle class factory workers and coal miners and underprivileged rural populations that you dismissively call “yahoos” and “deplorables.” You have mocked our faith and our religion. You have mocked our values and our patriotism. [[ Is THIS the problem? You feel like you are being made fun of? If so, you are the living embodiment of “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them.”]] You have trampled our flag [[Come again? How so?]] and insulted our veterans [[Again, broad hyperbole, how so?]] and treated our first responders with contempt and hatred [[For systematically acting out as judge, jury, and executioner of BIPOC for no reason except raciscm? Yes! Guilty as charged!]].
You have made environmentalism your religion [[So, you DON’T want clean air to breath and clean water to drink and clean food to eat?]], while trashing every city you have taken responsibility for [[Again, hyperbole]]. You scream from the rooftops about “global warming” and a “green new deal” while allowing tens of thousands of homeless people to cover your streets in literal sh!t and garbage and needles and plastic waste without doing a single thing to help them or solve the environmental crisis your failed social policies are creating [[Explain to me how the average citizen is “allowing” fellow citizens to live without housing. Conflating that with global warming is a non sequitur at best]] . But we’re supposed to put YOU in charge of the environment while gutting our entire economy to institute this plan when you can’t even clean up a single city?? [[Please cite references of Republican led cities where homelessness has been eradicated.]]
You complain — endlessly — yet have failed to solve a single social problem anywhere. [[Hyperbole, again.]] In fact, all [[Hyperbole, again]] you have done is create more of them.
We’ve had enough. We are tired of quietly sitting by and being the “silent” majority. So don’t be surprised when the day comes when we finally respond. And trust me it’s coming, sooner than you might think. And also trust me when I say it won’t be pretty. Get ready. [[Why so threatening? Again, is the problem REALLY that you feel like you’re being spoken of rubes who vote against their own best interests? Just a question.]]
When Donald Trump is reelected it will be because you and your “comrades” [[Oof]] have chosen to trash the police [[For killing BIPOC with impunity? Guilty as charged!]], harass law-abiding citizens, and go on rampages destroying public property that we have all paid for and you have zero respect for [[You’re mistaking agent provocateurs as allies of peaceful protesters]].
When Donald Trump is reelected it will be because we are sick of your complete and utter nonsense and destruction. How does it feel to know that half of this country finds you FAR more despicable than Donald J. Trump, the man you consider to be the anti-Christ? [[As mature adults, it’s none of our business what you think of us.]]
Let that sink in. [[I’m still looking for the rational argument in this.]]
We consider you to be more despicable, more dangerous, more stupid, and more narcissistic than Donald Trump [[So you agree he’s despicable, dangerous, stupid, and narcissistic? If so, we’re getting somewhere. I’m also heartened to hear that you believe that the will of the people is more powerful than the President, which it should be. HOWEVER, I do wish you could see that we care about the same thing—the health and longevity of our country. It’s just that we have different ideas about how to get there. Absent 45s campaign platform—you do know he has chosen not to write one, he’s campaigning on fear, not policy—I am wondering if you agree that equal opportunity, equal pay for equal work, high minimum wages, Medicare for all, taxation of the rich, removal of the rights of corporations as individuals would be good for all of us?]]. Maybe allow yourself a few seconds of self-reflection to let that sink in. [[Yes, you’ve already commanded this. Still can’t for reasons I’ve shared throughout. Also, see my last comment.]] This election isn’t about Donald Trump vs. Joe Biden.
This is about Donald Trump vs YOU. [[Again, thank you for thinking that the American populace is a greater force than any President. If you’d just say WHAT you want, instead of what you seem to HATE, I’d have a clearer idea of what is going on here.]]
So if on the morning of November 4 (or more likely January 19, by the time the Supreme Court will weigh in on the mail-in ballot fiasco that we are headed towards) [[Do you mean because the appointed Postmaster General has removed mail boxes and mail sorting machines, and the GOP has placed hundreds of illegal voting boxes throughout my state, admitted they were illegal, but also said they would continue to do so?]], and Donald J. Trump is reelected?
The only people you have to blame is the left-wing media drones and yourselves. [[Well, this didn’t end well, did it.]]
You did this.
Yep you.” [[Using “I” messaging might help people engage in a more productive conversation. But I don’t get the sense that is what you were after. Too bad.]]

Ann T - I get it. I figured most people have zero attention span these days, and many would think *I* wrote this. A sad commentary on all fronts. In fact, I don't believe Richard Courtemanche wrote it, he was presenting someone else's absurd defense of 45, since so many cannot figure out why nearly half the USA supported him in 2016. The writer's "rationale" was so enraging I felt I had no recourse, and it took no time at all to scan his paper thin, repetitive excuses. Still, I believe it a worthy exercise, as it provides insight into why people support him. A quicker summation would be found in LBJ's commentary: "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." Here's an even quicker one for those who can't even stomach a two-sentence summation: "Kick the dog."

THANK you Nate absolutely spot on. Trump has never really had to be responsible, he has been catered to and his parents handed him everything on a platter. He abused his siblings and his father rewarded him for his strength and punished them for their, he said, weakness. He is a failed business person who has gone bankrupt at least six times while losing billions of dollars. He is a philanderer and a dangerously unhinged buffoon who has no empathy, sympathy, social conscience or intellectual curiosity or capacity. \Unfortunately, his wife and children demonstrate the same sad qualities. Again, beautifully put Nate.

After you have helped Trump to vanquish us so your nerves can calm down, the state of the world will be worse: tribalism will have sharpened, sexism will have returned to it’s pre-Playboy level, poverty will have greatly expanded, and our side will be raising more hell than ever and we will behold you in your Brownshirt and say He used to be such a nice guy.

I don’t personally know Donald Trump but from what I’ve heard he, in fact, has a great sense of humor; they say almost as dry as a Briton’s.... as far as I’m concerned, the British should just keep their nose out of US politics - I mean it isn’t like politics in the UK are without issues!

Disagree with this assessment completely. I’m in American citizen who is from India originally. I’ve never been more proud to be American then under this president. Behind all the strong writer, he has delivered on his promises and is a very brilliant and effective leader
Missy Martin4 year ago
And, what exactly has he delivered? Let's see. No wall, no health care, illegal activity -himself and his family and his co-horts, a huge deficit, alienated our allies, thinks dictators are his friends, no leadership with the virus and that continues as he holds rallies with no one taking any precautions, destroying SS and Medicare-hope you aren't over 65, brought disgrace to our country by calling our military and those who have died for this country losers and suckers, lies constantly, if his mouth is moving he is lying, tweets-what president of ANY country tweets all his thoughts and plans on an unsecured phone,his family also uses personal email for country related emails, just like the ones they complain about from Hillary Clinton, makes up playground names that a 5 year old might call someone he is bullying, he brought his family into "work" at the White House-a bit no no, he will bring war if given the chance, he has given us many people who have broken our country's laws in order for him to manipulate, he sure hasn't given us his taxes, he has brought racism and if you are from India, he doesn't like you much. He has brought us debt to our citizens, joblessness to our citizens, death to our citizens with his handling of corona.
He doesn't read, won't listen to briefings unless they are accompanied with pictures, he did not write any book, all were written by ghostwriters, my insulin has gone up, my groceries have gone way up, our taxes are up as the great tax break was for only the richest, not the average person or the poorest person, really the list of what he has done is endless, but not in a good way. Do your research and find out just what kind of man you are supporting. The article is spot on, and it is exactly what our allies think of us.
Dump Trump4 year ago
Being from India I am sure anything is a step up from where you came from. Brilliant? Effective? He brilliantly and effectively is helping to destroy the environment, the economy, relationships with other countries while dividing the country instead of uniting it and ignoring any reasonable efforts to contain the pandemic.

Your a moron. Calling democrats socialists is ridiculous. Biden is a do nothing corporate democrat but he is decent. He will maintain the status quo. Trump has killed one hundred thousand people by ignoring the pandemic. I agree that not all cops are racist but a president who refuses to acknowledge that racist cops are killing black people is a dangerous racist. A president who alleges voter fraud before anyone has voted is endangering our democracy to surpress the vote. I am not thrilled with the left wing but they are not socialists. My problem is with fanatical right wing gun toting nra promoting white supremacist racists. The democratic party may be below average but the republican party has scarily gone too far to theright and is a certified disaster. Right wing religious fanatics have a right to their religious beliefs but religion has no place in politics. A womans right to choose is also not a political issue. Religion and abortion are private choices. Having no gun control leading to mass shootings is a political issue. Holding mass rallies as president and not telling people to wear a mask leading to this country having20 percent of deaths with only four percent of world population is a political issue. Do you think its a coincidence that we have more racist cops and gun violence on trumps watch. Law and order my ass. He promotes ciolence and diviseveness. The left wing are not gun toting racists. The left wing did not kill one hundred thousand peopleby mishandling pandemic. I have nothing against someone who chooses to join the military. However the right wing and left wing drink the military koolaid. The fact is we have not had one legitimate productive war since world war two. Soldiers ate used by politicians to line theor pockets and get backing of military contractors.the vietnam war and iraq war were a disgrace. The right wing is worse than the left wing but both drink the military coolaid. You are worried about left wing people who are fifhting for equality and for the rich to pay taxes.you should worry about conservatives who think trump cares about the middle class. Your a sucker. Tou can shoot your guns all you want but i prefer responsible gun control. You can support white supremacy and fascism and call it law and order. I would rather support black people and the overwhelming majority of good cops and punish racist cops. The right wing tries to hide their racism by alleging law and order. More violence is encouraged by right wing rhetoric than the radical left. There is a reason why studies show that theright wing has a lower iq than centrists and leftists. Our political system does not allow us to get anything done. Too many democrats ate beholden to the corporate lobbies. Not being happy with the below average democratic party is no excuse for supporting the worst president in american history. We need toget rid of the filibuster and the electoral collegeand have term limits so idiots like lindsey graham and mcconnell dont stay in office for fifty years. We need bipartisan compromise and not partisan two party system. We are better off with a parliamentary system that gets legislation passed. The far conservative right is far more dangerous than the radical left. I will take the status quo over the worst president in american history. The republicans should have disavowed trump and tried to rebuild their party. The republican party is in danger of becoming totally irrelevant for supporting the worst president in american history.
Michael4 year ago
Also we need an impartial supreme court that interprets the constitution impartially rather than deciding constitutional issues based on conservative or liberal political views. I do believe that liberals have better values than conservatives but i prefer an electoral mpartial judge to a progressive judge. The constitution should be interpreted in a non partisan way. Politicians should not appoint the supreme court. An independent non partisan commission should. In summary i agree that people are tired of the do nothing democrats but choosing an alternate teality like donald trump is dangerous for our democracy. I would rather have a so nothing democrat than a dangerous republican i did not like ronald reagan or george w bush but donald trump makes them look great. The only real chance for the republican party is to ditch trump and try to bring in men like dwight eisenhower, colin powell, lowell wycker, john kasich, and john mcain and mitt romney. Mcconnell, graham and trump are ruining the conservative movement but trump even makes hypocrites graham and mcconnell look good

Richard its not about people being tired of the left. I am an independent who rates democrats a c plus but due to our checks and balances system with sabatoging treasonous republicans the democrats effectiveness goes down to a c minus. However, republicans are anF and trump is a zero. Its not about how suboar the left is, its about any decent non partisan intelligent human being realizing that von trump is the worst president in american history and that democrats are the lesser of two evils and more decent than republicans. I am not sure that corporate democrats on the left would get anythingdone even with no filibuster and even if they had control of house and senate because they are beholden to corporate lovbies. In summary, coting for trump in 2016 and 2020 is an example of extremely poor judgment and voting for the worst president in american history because you are tired of the establishment is asinine. Be careful of what you wish for. Trump supporters the world is laughing at you. Our country is the joke of the world because of your poor judgment. At least status quo democrats are not divisive incompetent or racist. I am an independent with no skin in the game

Most Australians would endorse this description of Trump. This is surprising, because Aussies generally think well of American presidents. They certainly did of President Obama. But I can assure our American friends that, looking back over the last half century I have been politically aware, no American president has been so despised as Trump. Not just disliked - a lot of us didn't much like Nixon - but despised for the kind of person he has shown himself to be. Sad.

The one single redeeming fact about Trump: His stand on abortion makes him the voice of billions of voiceless unborn babies in a world that has chosen to turn a deaf ear to their cries. This one diamond is bright enough to make up for all his other deficiencies.
Mary Martin4 year ago
No, it isn't. If he really cared, why did he use a treatment for his "flu" for which the stem cells of aborted fetuses were used in the research and making of the miracle drug-which by the way he has an interest in the company. He is lying to you. I certainly understand your feelings about abortion, but he couldn't care less.

Speaking as an American I totally agree with you. That 35 to 40% of Americans agree with Trump makes me want to vomit. I can’t this year but for the last 6 years my wife and I spent 7 months a year in Europe because we can’t stand what America is evolving into. About 30-40% of Americans are now believe in an alternate reality where crass is good, bullying in good and global warming is a lie. Words fail me. Let me out.

The sentiments expressed should be universal, not just British. And yet up to 39% of Americans think that Trump is God's gift to the human race. Something is broken in American democracy - Trump is not the cause, more like the effect and a tangible manifestation of this broken system.

In reference to Kay, one thing as a citizen and a health care provider, I am tired of hearing about how bad Obama's plan was, yet so many more people were able to have that as a result. More than that, where the hell is the plan Trump promised. It's as elusive as his vaccine claims. I think he must have made a nice cover sheet and then threw in some blank pages calling this the health plan that he finally did. Haven't seen that either. He is too busy Tweeting, talking to people like Sean Hannity and trying to figure out how to get re-elected instead of doing the actual work of the president.

Trump isn’t a politician. He’s a business man who does what he promised to do. This has upset the professional politicians who are more interested in their own desires and selfish interests then what’s good for our country and it’s people. He is the man and party I’m voting for this election.

Then please move to Britain where you will have the opportunity to enjoy socialized medicine and the jolly good humor of the Brits. Won’t miss you crabby bitchy whiny leftist who would rather complain than get to work. You have no real concept of what happened with all the Obama programs. Obama Care bring the biggest train wreck! If you look at data and facts our economy under a businessman flourished. Guess you don’t invest because our portfolio has never done better. Past administration denied our outdated military and decided just to try to buy favor with our enemies. Billions of dollars spent , please look up those facts. Billions to Iran that they didn’t used to take care of their people they just laughed all the way to their nuclear program. A middle schooler could have seen where that was all headed. Yes he leads in a different way With strength and total commitment to the USA . He definitely doesn’t have the Iba suave rhetoric but for those of us who have heard the same political promises election after election. Better jobs. Better economy Better health care Lower taxes. Less crime it is on every politicians speech card. Some say it better but if you look at facts and see who has followed through on all those promises it hasn’t been politicians who know how to keep Their Jobs and Their health care and Their tax exemptions and Their pay increases. We finally don’t have a politician who isn’t looking for a life long job telling us how smart they are and having other counties outwit them with their trade agreements. Most politicians are busier with their campaigns and back slapping and telling reporters how smart they are and how stupid their opponents are. There has never been such hatred and for some reason people think that hatred only runs one way . They can’t see it coming from their mouths or as in speeches the eye rolling and smirking and body language that tells you how they disrespect their opponents. This isn’t a one party hate fest it is a country who decided after the last election that they were so Right that they should start impeachment immediately. This guy hasn’t set foot in the White House and the media was telling us how miserable and dangerous and chaotic our life’s would be. Thanks to the a Democrat’s who have carried a negative and hateful message on their chests and spewing from their mouths this has been a time when good news is buried and unreported and marginalized. Look back to the months after the election and see what was going on before Trump set foot in the White House and own your own behavior and negativity that has only been groomed by a party that could accept that this man was elected by Americans who didn’t want what Obama served up and what Hillary would perpetuate. That is why we have elections so why could you let this man do what people elected him to do without being so vicious!!! Hate was set on fire and the flames fanned for the past 3 1/2 years and Republicans were treated terribly by the press and every Hollywood talk show personality who thought their shows were now places to lecture us on policies and what our country wanted. We spoke at the ballot box so get off your high horse and be civil or just keep your nastiness to yourself or others who like you prefer to think the Brits know what our President is like. I doubt this writer had ever met him and relies on our media to get perspective. Know you haven’t read this far so as usual if you don’t like what you are reading you move back to your groupies and whine some more. I will be working with People today some of whom will vote differently but who are my peers. We will accomplish things and be a positive force and will reach out to those who are interesting and committed Americans. Stop the broadcast of hatred! Look at what you have contributed to an America that is moving forward!

I have always greatly appreciated the British wit and sensibility which is so aptly displayed in this "spot on" analysis of the creature that currently occupies the White House. As a New Yorker we had many years of watching Trump's doings. He was never liked here and has always been thought of as a crass, brassy, nouveau riche, classless upstart. Trump will no longer live here because he knows he is not wanted and we do not support him. Because of that he now enacts his revenge by insulting the city and it's leaders and denying us government support when we are decimated by the Covid pandemic. That is just another example that illustrates the kind of person he is. We tried to warn people 4 years ago as to what his character was like. Unfortunately, not enough people would listen, so he was elected and was allowed to reign pretty much unchecked. He is a great threat to our Democracy and our standing in the world. We must Vote him out next month!

Peggi Rodgers4 year ago
Personally, as a Californian, I am amazed that anyone could even think of voting for him once, let alone supporting him a second time. But what's really distressing is the division that he has caused in this country. If you are a Democrat such as myself you are the enemy of the people and that is basically what he has encouraged through constant rhetoric to keep his 'base' happy. The things that those 'base' people say to you, the insulting way they refer to you and the accusations they levy upon you is incredible - to think that we all live in the same country is impossible because the values that we used to share have gone out the window. There is no talking to the people who support him, they believe every stupid conspiracy theory, no matter how absurd, every word that comes out of his mouth is the gospel truth and no matter how much you prove to them it's not they simply refuse to believe it. Frankly, I and many people I know are very worried about election day. Many of us believe there will be violence. And there is only one person to thank for tearing this country apart.

Spot on, Nate. Every. Single. Word.

We're also horrified, embarrassed, nauseated and worried about our democracy with his cronies in top positions. If he wins again, countries are going to have to admit us as political refugees.

To my horror as an American who dearly loves his country, the mindset of the slave owners/traders we were beset with from the 1600-1800's is still alive and well in the form of the 40 million or so Trump voters/supporters - - - the inveterate racists/white supremacists who need nothing more from those they vote for than periodic reassurance that their discomfort with/hatred of those who are not white, Christian heterosexuals (i.e., African, Native and Asian-Americans, Latinos, Muslims, Jews and LGBTQ’s) is fine and nothing to be ashamed of. Because of slavery, America was born and will continue to reside in infamy until we are finally rid of that disgusting piece of excrement in the White House masquerading as a human-being and those who love/support/vote for him.

American Eagle4 year ago
Our government is owned by the Corporations. The people running the government for the most part have sold us out. Trump vowed to take it back and a large segment of the population believed that he would. It is not that they are all crazy or uneducated. We are all looking for a solution to that problem. Voting Hilary into office would assure that nothing would change in the government. Voting Trump into office was a chance that maybe he could fix what is wrong. That is how he got in the first time. Now that we have seen what Trump is really made of we understand better how bad things can actually get by electing someone with no experience and not qualified for the position. That is why Biden will be elected this time. Those who saw Hilary as a Corporate sellout and didn't vote for her now realize that even the status quo that is Joe Biden is more preferable to the chaos that Trump brought to the country and will vote him out along with the others who didn't vote for him in 2016.

I realized four years ago that the democrats were corporate sell outs but i also realized that trump was a dangerous, incompetent, narcissistic, , indecent racist who would run the country into the ground with diviseveness and incompetence.

I voted for hillary because i saw thru this con man from the start and i forgive anyone who was foolish to vote for trump in2016 but will now vote for biden.

Your description of Trump is by far the best I have read and although I am an older American, I must say that he is clearly the most dangerous leader we have ever had because he is mentally unfit for any position let alone POTUS. I'm sure the global community is wondering how he could have been elected in the first place. The only consolation I have stems from the fact that I did not vote for him and I warned my friends and just about everyone within earshot that he would destroy our democracy and it is happening at this moment. It's time for the 25th Amendment to be invoked so that he can be removed from office.

So Trump didn't win. The American people didn't win, especially those murdered in that synagogue. Imaginary wars at imaginary evils, can't be won.

Trump deserves all of the honor that he has projected during his term in office. He deserves to be treated the way he has treated people. From the beginning he showed disrespect toward anyone and everyone who came before him. He will get my respect when he earns my respect. I did not see any respect during his first term and don't see it happening during a second so let's get someone in the White House who understands respect and eject the bully who doesn't know the meaning of respect.

The damage he has done to our country is immeasurable and our children and grandchildren will be paying for it for years to come. But, one point missing is that he could not be carrying out any of these antics if it were not for Mitch McConnell. He could have put a stop to it at any time. He is another black soul that goes into the void. Its all about greed and power and the American people do not fit into their thought process at all.

You do realise that the electoral college has worked well until Trump was elected. The EC prevents the two states with the largest populations from controlling the way the country is run.

It’s not on classy ness that we want a president...maybe a little, but not the entirety! It’s what promises he makes the American people and whether he keeps those promises!

It is what he values in life and he is a pro life president! He believes every baby in the womb is a life created by God! He loves and believes in our military and Americans, as a whole! He has a lot of good traits! Just because he doesn’t live up to the expectations of London or even some Americans doesn’t mean he is not a good president! He doesn’t play the games that smooth talking politicians do! He is doing his job, unpaid!

How in the hell can you believe what you're saying? Aside from the pittance checks he gave to suffering people while giving billions to his corporate cronies, what good promises has he really kept for the American people? The promise to separate immigrant children from their parents? How 'pro-life' is that? Trump's never been religious, he laughs at people like you & Pence behind their back. He calls veterans "a bunch of losers." What kind of "love for our military" is that? Considering that he not only treats women in general like crap, especially the ones in his own family, just what good "deep down character" traits have you actually found in Trump? Because most normal human beings are sure hard-pressed to find any. It's flabbergasting that so-called Christians are willing to support such Evil & call it Good.

B... you poor thing! Do you actually believe that Trump is pro-life, or gives a crap about religion? He has repeatedly shown that he uses religion as a tool to con the religious right wing Evangelicals, and you fell for it? And do you really think that with all the affairs and philandering that Trump has had over the decades that he hasn’t personally insisted on an abortion or two? You are so naive.

@Ann T: I am simply amazed at the ethical gymnastics some "Christians" go through for someone who supports their War Against Women's Self-Sovereignty. The Fundie Fuckwads who want America to become a Theocracy are the true danger, and I just don't understand these women who wish it was the 1950's again when it was a terrible decade for anyone who wasn't white, rich, & male.

As an American, this is spot on. Most of us hate him here...and for a long time even before his political aspirations. His administration is a failure of our political system and we are paying a steep price. On behalf of the U.S.A., I offer my sincerest apology. But know that the majority of Americans are working to make this right in November, God willing.

Spot on. Yes, we Brits are also stuck with an idiot (Boris) but he’s more bumbling than bully. Don’t change the subject! IMHO Trump is not only deeply unpleasant and dishonest, but extremely dangerous. Interested only in hanging on to power and the chance to continue making money off his position. Yes, I know he takes only a dollar salary, but his golf resorts, hotels and fundraisers make way more. He is stoking division and hatred and refusing to criticise the vile right wing thugs who wield their weapons against peaceful protesters. I pray for the USA and the world.

When it comes to your description of Obama, you're blind deaf and dumb.

The actions he has taken so far have benefited us the American people and he will continue for another four years.

Perhaps, you don’t understand the difference between a businessman and a con man. Trump trail of numerous bankruptcies lead to him not being able to obtain a loan from any American banks. His Trump university was mandated to close and millions to settle a mountain of lawsuits. It’s estimated he’s presently 400 million dollars in debt, even after he and his family have violated the emolument clause prohibiting a president from using the office for financial gains. Just a few examples of why he doesn’t qualify to be considered a good businessman or worthy of the office of President. I to am a military veteran who served 2 tours of duty in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta. I don’t know about you but, I truly don’t appreciate being called a sucker and loser for my service. Especially, by a guy who ran from serving his country in a time of war.
You may be able to look past the truthful assessments of the author’s article about Trump, I

“Businessman”??? He’s no businessman! He lied, cheated and stole his way through New York and New Jersey, stiffing architects, contractors and staff left, right and center. He’s the only idiot who bankrupted a casino where the house always wins, FFS! I have overheard anecdotes from 60 year old waitstaff who were cheated out of promised overtime, let alone even payment on a “take it or be fired” basis by the Orange Slug. And the above “imperfections” are only listing his “professional” faults!!!!!! “Benefited us the American people”??? What a joke! The only people he has “benefited” are himself, his spawn and his cronies.

What does a business man know about foreign relations? What does a business man know about pandemics? What does a business man know about health care? What does a business man know about the environment? Donald Trump is unprepared and unable to address all of the issues our country faces. He is in way over his head. He has proven that over the last three and a half years. He had a chance to do something great and he failed. Giving him a second chance is both fool hearty and dangerous for the stability of our country. We need calm, not chaos. Vote him out.

The problem as I and many others see it, with Trump's personality profile, how would he react to an election loss? One can predict that he will not go quietly and accept defeat and he has already made false allegations of postal voting fraud without any evidence and worse, his hand picked Attorney General, William Barr, who should be apolitical, have hinted something similar. A constitutional crisis awaits?? God save America.

Well written article. I feel tremendous damage has been done to American society by Trump. The only upside is Trump has caused many of us to look at our society and to realize there are huge problems that have always been under the surface and seemingly not bad enough or apparent enough for anything to be done about it. I think enough people are waking up to this fact and will overwhelmingly vote Trump out of office and vote many of those who supported/enabled him out of office so it is clear that we want good leadership and good government and not some reality show. The other thing that Trump has made me realize is how easy it is to manipulate people to get them to hate and be to be fearful. Once you get people to hate you own their soul and their undying allegiance. Facebook and Twitters have been enablers and must do much better to control the falsehoods and hate if we want our societies to function well. It often takes a crisis and for things to become horrendous before anything is done to correct it. We have the crisis and now it is up to each of us.

The Republican Party tried to distract Americans with this freak show while letting our country sink into despair and global humiliation just to consolidate its own power.

You have no right to speak for Americans but yourself! This has gone beyund your partisan nonsense...this has become a fight for America's soul which has no place for such a monster so described! Just leave Obama out of this because there is not even a fraction of a mililionth of a basis for comparison. Obama met the economy at over 15% unemployment rate in 2008. By the time he left office in 2016 we were at 4.7% unemployment! The real greatest percentage drop in rates since the great depression. It was his growth momentum that baby Trump carried over initially to 3.6% through 2019 but has only made worse now by his appalling mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic! America's image internationally now smells like the most putrid shit! This write up by a Brit is an epitome of what every nation abroad (except for Putin and Netanyahu) sees us as. It's a pitty that those of you who flow along with this disaster of a President would go crazy with a decent and highly efficient Presidency like that of Obama! It boils down to only one thing, chronic and self hating racism! Thank goodness you'all will be silenced by our resolve to express our dissent through the ballot box! See you there come Nov 3!

Trump loves the Communist authoritarian dictator model so much that he diverts your attention by labeling Constitution respecting Democrats as socialist. His cult followers close their minds and demonize fellow Americans so that their leader can take them closer to Putanism.
It would have cost the Russians billions to inflict a fraction of the damage that Trump has inflicted on America.

your comment re the 400 million owed by Trump—-rumours have always abounded as to the creditor, & the reason for the loan—-so why does Vlady seem to have such a hold on him?
You asked when the next instalment is due to be repaid; I reckon when he stops being President, so hopefully In under 4 weeks’ time.
I reckon tracking this 400 million is FAR more important than whether he’s paid any tax or not

I feel dismay and bewilderment daily, as do many other Americans. Maybe someday Chris Ofili will create a Holy Trump.
The real monstrosity is America’s snarky, narcissistic pop culture that prizes entertainment and provocation over substance. We’ve enshrined controversy.
Americans are also living smack-dab in the middle of a communications revolution. We’re not totally to blame. The algorithms and machinery for an autocracy rose with the advent of the Internet and the emergence of balkanized media—the fragmentation of media into hostile units like CNN and Fox News. Partisan commentators who offer opinions instead of facts also feed the phantasmagoria and rancor of partisanship here.
Partisan news bubbles block some of the foundational benefits of a country like ours, (such as a free and unbiased press). Bubbles also make it easier for politicians to disseminate their message and distort their opponent’s views. An MIT Media Lab study cited partisan news bubbles as a big reason why Trump won.
But Trump has become a moral compass for us. That will be his legacy. He doesn't take responsibility for the safety of his people and has never come around to a more enlightened view of his leadership during one of the greatest threats to our nation in American history.

Nancy4 year ago
Thank you so very much. The Trumpers here in America need to see how we are perceived internationally. They need to see what Trump has done to our country, our reputation, our standing. I doubt most of them ever watch, read or listen to anything other then FOX entertainment, it’s certainly not a news Media. I blame the old guard of the GOP for the growth of Fox. Rupert is a traitor to freedom and a greedy soulless man also. I was an elected Florida House and Senate member for years. I am sad to admit I was in the Republican Party, no longer. But it was different. They started to morph into the party of greed and they put large corporations above the people. They even say we must treat corporations as If they are a person. Corporations are people in America. The reason for this is to allow huge, even anonymous, contributions that can then funnel through to the GOP ,which was previously prohibited by contribution rules. Then came Trump/Putin and they took over that machine that Rupert, the GOP, certain corporations Created. The new GOP/corporations with the help of radical right wing radio, Limbaugh, the Evangelicals and every extreme radical group built the voter base they needed. Suddenly the old R party that had morphed into the corporations, got screwed by Trump/Putin. That was a total surprise and now the GOP is Trumps/Putin’s.
America’s thinking people never dreamed we had so many Trumpers. Never dreamed that there would be this many who are totally ignorant and disdainful of facts and only follow FOX bullshit propaganda. The GOP before Trump (The corporations) helped grow that base of the factless ignorant Voters, anti science base, the one issue radical religious organizations, anti government groups, conspiracy theory groups, every hate group and radical groups they could. Now Trump owns them and the old GOP I firmly believe have been compromised by their own Russian criminal dealings ($ and election interference help) so they have to support Trump/Putin even to the detriment of our people and our Democratic Republic.
Most thinking Americans know Trump is everything you wrote here. Even former Republicans that are fighting back (Lincoln Project, etc.) know this man is insane and evil. They see the fascism, authoritarianism he is pushing us into. Trumps base are the ignorant, the racists, the haters of government, the radical religious, unconscionable corporations, and just the plain old tribal partisans. It is a hard fight. I have to believe that the critically thinking people are still the majority and will prevail. If not we lose our America.
It seems suddenly we are not allowed to have differing opinions. Trump speaks of indicting and incarcerating his opposition. Republican criminal ring speaks aloud that only Republicans matter. And yesterday we see we have an American equivalent of ISIS willing to kidnap and kill a duly elected Democrat governor.
In my 66 years of life in this great country I have never seen anything like this. The greedy crime ring that took over the Republican Party is responsible for this and they lost it to Trump/Putin and here we are with an insane evil insidious criminal with the nuclear codes at his disposal. We have hate and chaos everywhere. We are on the verge of a civil war if this sick man wins.
For me, I am about to seek political asylum in Canada if Trump steals/wins.

Or help them see what they almost did. But, feel free if you live here and we’re being sarcastic, to ask Putin if he will allow you and Trump to live the life you seem to want in Russia. I am pretty sure Trump may have to run to Russia when he loses to avoid prison here. That’s why.

"Happy to see the swamp being drained" - you have to be kidding. I'm an American. And like the majority of Americans, we want the swamp-thing OUT of office. You say "we" elected him to do a job. And what a job he has done. Fix a broken country? He makes everything he touches worse. Global respect? We used to have that, now it is non-existent. Nate is absolute accurate with this article. Whether or not you realize it, "Happy", leadership, respect, wisdom, knowledge, compassion, experience and ability all count. The current occupant of the white house has NONE of those qualities.

I don't listen to the President all that much, but as an America, I'm very pleased with the results of his actions, and I'm guessing most non-Americans aren't. We elected this man to do a job not be a movie star, a businessman to fix a very broken country, with little to no respect globally from a decade of leading from behind.
Bubba Gump4 year ago
Nobody listens to him all that much anymore. All he does is spout disinformation and lies, blah blah blah. What results are you talking about? The only results after almost 4 years that I am aware of is that the country is in chaos, the unemployment rate is higher then it has been since the recession, people are lining up for food and we have an out of control pandemic because Mr. Trump lied to us about the severity of it when he knew full well how serious it was. "We" didn't elect Donald Trump. He lost the popular vote. Donald Trump is a glorified failed real estate broker who declared bankruptcy several times and stiffed his employees. He had absolutely no qualifications for assuming the Presidential role and is in way over his head. He doesn't deserve a second shot at taking us down any further.

Should have added in my last post; whoever wins the election, the U.K. will be caught ‘between a rock & a hard place’.
So, SHOULD a trade deal with the US be on the cards, either candidate could well say, “EVERYTHING Is on the table—-EVERYTHING, or NOTHING”; which sadly means the possible privatisation (‘Americanisation’?) of the UK’s much cherished NHS (National Health Service).
Now THAT would NOT go down at ALL well with us Brits!
Yes, sadly, the US have got the UK ‘over the proverbial barrel’, WHOEVER wins your,election!
Solomon4 year ago
Apologies for this very long post!
ITA IDARESIT, I’m a Brit.
Some (a few) of your points concerning the U.K. are fair, but on the whole you have a very naive understanding of how Brits feel about your President.
PATRICK CROSLEY has responded very succinctly as to how Trump is viewed here in the U.K., so this doesn’t need much discussion. Fair to say, he’s pretty much despised by many many in the U.K.—-like in the US!
As regards Brexit, yes, you’ve made a couple of valid points; but sadly, the U.K. is pinning plenty of her hopes on getting ‘great’ trade deals with the USA; something that can happen, but maybe ONLY should Trump win next month. Biden is pro EU (& pro Ireland, part of the EU). Sadly, Boris has recently broken International law, which could jeopardise peace on the island of Ireland. Biden, along with leading Democrats, have therefore threatened NOT to pursue any trade deals with the U.K. should peace on the island of Ireland be thus jeopardised ie there should be NO contravention of the ‘Good Friday Agreement’, which President Bill Clinton (& the Democrats) had helped broker.
But even if Trump wins, he knows FULL well that as far as trade deals go, the U.K. needs the US FAR more than the other way around—-& the U.K. public, knowing this, are aware of the fact that the US could therefore impose, let’s say, her ‘poorer food & other standards’ on the U.K.(like Chlorinated chicken, hormone injected beef etc, which fall short of the UK’s & the EU’s food standards).
Yes, you are right, of the people who bothered to vote, there was a narrow majority for Brexit (52:48), so a very sizeable minority were against Brexit, (though by now, even they’ve accepted that Brexit, for good or for evil, is gonna happen). And don’t forget, as much as 47% of the UK’s exports are to the EU—-these could be badly hit should there be a ‘no deal with the EU’—-& at time of writing, a ‘no deal’ looks very likely. Will trade with the USA help make up for this? IF Trump wins, he has the U.K. ‘over a barrel’, as the US holds all the cards, & Trump knows this—if Biden wins, there could well be NO trade deals at all, as Boris is a law breaker.
Frankly, as stated before, the USA is in an extremely dominant position, & BOTH Presidential candidates know this, & unfortunately for the U.K., will surely exploit this

We hate him here in the US and one of our biggest fears is, every other country thinks we agreed to this or accepted him as our President. We didn’t. It’s been 3.5 years of pure hell, hopeful we can vote him out and cancel him. Forever.

“He is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. “ That’s one of my favorite lines in this article; truth told loud.

All true and confirms something I have learned living in this country; never trust an American with a German name. Americans with German names that aren't Jewish are just Germans without the self-awareness: they are the not-funny Americans who don't like Jews, love uniforms and can't be funny. You don't find them in the cities, you find them in Pennsylvania and Ohio and Michigan, eating their weight in cheese, and mowing giant lawns, and selling real-estate and insurance to other bone-white weirdos, living in communities that funnel all their taxes back towards People Just Like Them. They're NIMBYs and racists and they go to church and they think they are nice people but they are boring af and not even good. They're unbearable sober and they're no craic even when they're drunk and they think they're the 'real America' but the only America they know is Target and Walmart and State Farm.
Cheese eating Sauerkraut4 year ago
It sounds like you haven't learned anything "living in this country". I don't know where you came from Cath-al but "real America" was built in part by cheese eating, lawn mowing, real estate and insurance selling German immigrants who fought in World Wars, built cities, railroads, highways, Walmarts and Targets. They paid taxes so that people like you could live in this country and have the ability to complain about those who came before you to make it unlike any other country in the world with the freedom of choice to shop at Walmart, Macy's, 7-11 and Target or, for that matter, the freedom to go back to where your unappreciative butt came from if America isn't your cup of tea or doesn't suit your needs.

This article was clearly written by media who believes how other media portray Pres. Trump. As truths are being uncovered about the cesspool Washington is, it's no wonder they go to all lengths to discredit him, with all manner of name calling. The corrupt politicians have a lot to lose if an outsider pursues uncovering their sleazy dealings... Joe, Hunter, Hillary, etc. Here in the towns of America, "ITS THE ECONOMY, STUPID" as the prosperity of 2017 through January of 2020 was measurable, especially after the Obama years since 2008 and the globalist agenda he was dragging us toward. Drive through rural areas of America and you will see the flags waving next to TRUMP signs. Call him all the names you want, attack how he's not like you; he fights for the Constitution, the homeland, the military and the Americans who deserve better than the swamp in Washington, and the thugs supported by them and George Soros. No humor in that to us. You'll see our smiles when he wins by a landslide from middle American voters.
Kelly H4 year ago
Written like a true Russian troll. You are wrong on every thing and just regurgitate his lies. The truth is the majority of Americans didn't vote for him and want nothing to do with him. Look at the mid-term election, the Democrats gained seats and will win the majority in the Senate come this election. Biden/Harris are favored by a wide margin to win the presidential election, too. Our national nightmare and embarrassment will soon end. Hopefully we can learn from it and make some changes so it doesn't happen again. This article is a very well written piece that expresses what the majority of Americans know to be true about the this truly troubled inept man.
Bye Don4 year ago
Ann, We all know what a cesspool Washington is. There is no truth to be uncovered except the truth that Donald Trump turned out to be just another turd floating around in it without the ability to lead by example or deliver on any of his promises. He bold face lied to the American people, is surrounded by criminals and a family who soaks the government for every cent they can. He supports white supremacy, divided the country instead of uniting it and recklessly endangered everyone he comes in contact with during this pandemic. He does not deserve a second chance to push this country any further into chaos with his ineptitude. In case you haven't noticed, the middle American voters that you speak of are a dying breed and the only landslide will be for Biden by those who didn't vote for Trump in 2016 and those voters who now know that Trump betrayed them with hollow promises and outright lies in 2016.

On the contrary, most British people love President Donald Trump and would prefer their Prime Minister to be like him.
In the first place, President Trump staunchly supported Brexit and so the majority of British people voted in support of Brexit.
When President Trump visited The United Kingdom, The Queen gave him a Royal Reception in Buckingham Palace with all the paraphernalia reminiscent of the magnificence and splendour of British Royalty. This gesture by The British Monarchy was a symbolic representation of the totality of the unalloyed love of and faith of The British People in President Donald Trump.
Because of this love of President Trump by the British people, Mr. President is working on a fantastic Trade Agreement with the United Kingdom which would ensure UK's post Brexit prosperity and further endearing him to the British people.
So, it is clear that Mr. White is writing for himself and possibly a small group of people who are disgruntled with President Trump's remarkable miracle of Making America Great Again. Yes, Real Miracle! Did Obama, Biden and others during Candidate Trump's days not question what magic, what miracle Trump would perform to actualise his Campaign promises to bring back thousands of industries from China, Mexico and others as well as create millions of jobs to boost the economy to record heights? The best of it is that They, ---- Obama, Biden, The Clintons and all of them are alive to witness these 'miracles' unfolding one after the other as promised. Promises Made, Promises Fulfilled. The British People are very good people. They like things done right and precisely. They like promises made to be kept. That is why most of the good British people like President Donald Trump. They would also like their Prime Minister to keep his Campaign promises, boost the economy and Make The United Kingdom Great Again.

Clearly A you don't live in the UK and B have absolutely no understanding of the British people. Some there's a few thing's for you. The majority of the British people think Trump is a complete bellend. In fact when he visited there was mass demonstrations all over the UK. There were petitions signed trying to band him from returning the country again. It was a State visit, so yes the bells and whistles came out. That's standard when a head of state visits the UK. The Queen actually has vary little to do with it.

The idea that you would compare Trump and Jesus is absurd. Trump is not religious, but he pretends to be so that religious wingnuts will vote for him. He uses the Bible as a prop, but he fooled you, didn’t he? He has created his own problems through lies, cheating, ineptitude, and greed. When it comes to Trump, here’s a Bible verse for you: “Jesus wept.”

The author is obviously so highly biased that his narrative is not entirely true. When upper stiff lip Brits and alike pass judgements on Trump, they are forgetting that they are discrediting the other half of population that elected them. Fix what ails the other half (yes, they have been speaking increasingly in most democracies of the world) to get rid of Trump, Boris Johnson, Modi & Victor Orban to name a few. What would you rather have? An articulate charmer that stabs you in the back or someone that is strategic and put the interests of people first? GIven the choice, I would compromise with optics any day.

The main faults of the previous few US presidents might have been harder to miss to the British public. After all, who could have noticed that Bush couldn't pronounce 'nuclear' or that Clinton had an affair with an intern. All of them, though, had a nasty tendency to bomb and/or invade foreign countries without UN approval. That should have been harder to miss.
The wittiest, most eloquent, of the past 4-5 presidents happened to do this quite a lot.
The most Trump has done in this respect is order the assassination of an Iranian general and a bit of his entourage. That makes him the Gandhi of US presidents.

This article has taken the English language writing to its peaks. After reading several works of P.G. Wodehouse in my younger days, this is perhaps for the first time that I caught myself laughing uncontrollably when I (now 74) read that Trump was likened by this author to be 'a Picasso of pettiness'; 'a Shakespeare of shit!' I wonder if there can be a better analysis than sating that Trump has 'no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace' --- then what remains in a human being? I was about to say NO CHARM, but sorry that is already listed! Forget the British gentlemanliness, Nate White has Trump plungung to the lowliest of low levels of manners or wit or personality. And Nate White, after comparing him with Obama, doesn't leave any chance, even edgeways, for Trump to impress just about anyone living on this planet, NOT ONCE, NOT EVER! Wrting that Trump is - most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. I could have packed my bags and retired to the woods for long sessions of laughter, making sure that no-one can see me during those laughter bouts, but alas in the current Covid-ridden times I can't walk out of my residence. My head was reeling when I sat to analyse whether Trump has "stupidity so nasty, or nastiness so stupid"

If deliberately spreading Covid 19 was a criminal act, Trump should be arrested.
Remember in the early days of AIDS/HIV, when a gay male, knowingly had the virus, but chose to have sex with others, the perpetrator would be criminally liable—-surely the same should apply as far as Covid 19 is concerned.
But there he is, with total impunity, sick as hell, ‘taking all his cronies with him’; a case of ‘what’s good enough for me, is good enough for everyone else’.

Well, it’s comforting to know that the smug, arrogant liberals in the U.K. are identical to their counterparts across the pond. Yes, Obama is infinitely more charming, smooth and classy than Trump. Yet, he produced little positive change on domestic and foreign fronts. His policies were deeply flawed. He is the one who referred to Isis as the JV team, while Isis spread its murderous tentacles across the Middle East. Trump dispatched with Isis. Trump produced the lowest unemployment rate in decades, higher labor participation rate than Obama. Obama rewarded the evil Iranian regime, while distancing us from Israel and Saudi Arabia. Now, I will finish by being an uncouth American speaking truth to bloviating, arrogant, liberal British pricks like the author of the article. If it was Obama that helped orchestrate peace deals between Bahrain and the UAE with Israel, liberals here and across the pond, and the respective mainstream news media in both countries, would be having mutual masturbation parties and clamoring for a Nobel peace prize. Cheerio, asshole.

Half of trump's political appointees have since either been fired, have running investigations in to them or been arrested, or are incompetent. And all of them are cronies. Started a never ending trade war with China, weakened alliances in favour of Russia, gave only the wealthiest permanent tax breaks, and lost international respect for the US for decades to come.

Unemployment rates in America fell during her final two years of Obama's Presidency... so in theory Obama reduced the unemployment rate NOT Trump... although Trump, in his way, decided to 'bask in the glory' of it this. Not sure why you deduce that liberals are arrogant... liberalism is about acceptance and respect for everyone - the exact opposite of making personal insults because of prejudice. Often the reason people choose to insult others is down to them feeling weak, angry and disempowered. We are all human and the same... just our experiences are different.

The article is perhaps uncomfortable for some American readers. It does depict the eccentric character of the super class that has been in control of mantle for decades. Trump may be one of the extreme in the class but he is not a wild card either. In fact the whole class may have had one or two surprises since history started but this has been closely monitired, cultured and cultivated by those who create the platform to see that all candidates tow the same line.
America is shaped by what you see unfolding in the last 4 years, it is what has been kept under wraps forever which is now exposed publicly by Trump. In other to exonerate, an average American quickly differentiates between personalilty and performance as if it is not one and the same charater that is derivative of its consequences. Maybe its about time Americans embrace that what they have is part of who they have always been. Perhaps not for a few but most certainly for majoriry of those who have always been in control of the person appointed to power.

Well said. As an American, It has been particularly disconcerting to listen to close family members or lifelong friends defend Donald Trump’s atrocious behavior. I have asked myself, “How is it possible that someone I know to be a genuinely good person could follow a man with such horrid behavior?” I try to assume the most non-judgemental tone I can muster, and ask open ended questions in an effort to understand and reconcile the good person I know to the truth that he is following a racist bigot down the rabbit hole of devolution. After many such conversations with more than a few loved ones, I have come to understand a part of this ugly truth: garbage in = garbage out.
Information networks and data algorithms divide the Trumpers and the Non-Trumpers. The conservative right’s privately owned medias invest tremendous resource into spinning factual elements into ludicrous stories to explain atrocious behavior. This is the garbage in. These media are careful to not condone the racist/sexist/bigoted behavior, but to present it in a light that leads the listener to empathize with Mr. Trump. If you have the stomach to listen to such media, you will hear the president portrayed as the underdog victim of the radical left socialist media. – – And to be clear: any reporter, any news organization, any media platform that presents Trump’s behavior in the light of observed reality, rather than in the hue of the underdog, is labeled by the right’s privately owned organizations as radical left socialist media.
These platforms present disinformation on a large scale, ceaselessly stoning the American people with uninterrupted untrue “alternative facts”. The average Trumper is not endowed with the critical thinking resources needed to dissect this never-ending stream of bullshit from fact. So they swallow it all—hook, line, and sinker.
And every time they connect to any data device, this stream of bullshit is reinforced in their minds— like a Pavlovian dog.
The more conversations I have with Trumpers, the more I have come to understand that they believe the bullshit they swallow as much as I believe the data reported by NPR, PBS, and BBC.
And each time I connect with my devices, the more data I swallow from my trusted media platforms — and this reinforces my opinion and belief.
I do not think, as I used to think, that the problem is simply the ignorance and privileged apathy of the American people, though this is certainly part of the problem. But ignorance is a solvable problem and apathy corrects itself when the apathetic are faced with consequences.
But can ignorance be cured if the ignorant cannot agree on the definition of a fact, or the truth of observable reality? When the ignorant cannot differentiate between shit stream brainwashing and observed factual reality, they are, by definition, delusional. They are suffering from group psychosis. They have drunk the kool-aid.

This is an overzealous regurgitation of all the concocted bromides cherry picked from the mainstream news outlets. Speaking of smug observation that Trump lacking wit, this article and the writer is brimming with smugness. Fortunately, majority of Americans can separate wheat from chaff and can still vote in large numbers for Trump because his opponents including the prince charming Obama, of modern day America, left such distaste in the memory of honest hard working Americans. We will leave it there, how about for some decency.

I am a Canadian. I love it. Could not be said any better. Trump is the hoax. We laugh at him over here. And as for Neil G. When did Trump ever work but steal and declare bankruptcy after every deal and loan. If you or i should do what he does, we would be in jail today. As a Christian., when i heard he had Covid i could not wish him harm, despite all the evil things he had said and done, i pray for him and his wife for healing with tears in my eyes. And then i saw he could sound humble even in sickness. And yes Obama is prince charmin, a decent one at that. I went from conservative to liberal....when i see the cras, and cruds the conservative picked up along the way as trump and the evangelist truck picked up along the highway of cultism. But my prayers will be he will loose 30days from now. We will be able to breathe. Pls God.

Childish prattle. Trump's just a man, with his own character, his own mind, his own thoughts, his own way. What we condemn in him we all have in us, to certain extents and in certain situations. The writer may be right, and have nailed down the essence of the man, but since when did a low down nasty man deserve hatred instead of love? Hate what he does, what he says when it's wrong. Hate what he stands for if you don't like it. But don't hate him. I pity him, because he's entrapped in a world he doesn't fully comprehend. His norms are not your norms, his outlook on life is different from yours. What matters to him, doesn't to you. But he's still a man. He still has feelings, the fact you don't understand them or care to, doesn't mean he doesn't feel, or know how. His family love him. His friends love him. That's good enough for me. I feel sorry for him. Everywhere he goes, he's derided for one thing or another. People put nasty pictures and caricatures of him in public. Parents teach their children to make fun of him. So to all those who find him despicable. Your public abhorrence of him, your constant mocking of him, the poking and picking at his character day in day out. Non stop! Do any of you think that helps him to become a better person? Of course not, it makes him worse. So why do you do it? Because it's self gratifying. In that respect, by your behavior you prove that your just like the man you despise. You pounce on Trump's every failure because he's the easiest target. He has no tact. That's his character. That's a failing. Are you perfect? Do you have failings? That you hide away and loathe anyone to find out? Of course you do. You hypocrites. As Jesus once said, 'physician, heal thyself'. For the record, the man derided in this and similar columns had the courage to run for President of the USA and won. Without an iota of help from any of you. How many who poke fun at home can do the same? None! He got the required votes, he got the required electoral colleges. There are hundreds of millions of Americans who believe in him, and will likely still, in November. Are they all evil, nasty despicable people? I'm not American. I'm human.
Ann T4 year ago
Let me fix your little sermon here, Lucas. Add a colon after your words, “childish prattle,” and we can accept the warning and skip the rest.
Do you actually think Trump wants to be a better person? Do you think he will want to “change his outlook on life” to conform with those of us who are not in the top 1% wealthy Americans? He has shown absolutely no regard for the truth, or the Constitution, or for anyone who doesn’t agree with his policies.
I don’t know what right wingnut news organization you are getting your view of Trump from, but you need a a big dose of reality NOW. Everything you accuse us of is what Trump does each and every day, whether it’s bellowing from his bully pulpit at his campaign rallies, or tweeting insults and slanderous lies on his Twitter account, or jabbering insanely with his FOX News buddies, he is a despicable, empty shell of a human being. Why don’t you lecture Trump?

IF he fully recovers from this illness, & IF he then ‘plays his cards right’, he may have an opportunity to actually do his election chances a lot of good. How?
What he needs to do is to show a bit of humility; tell the world in as sober a voice as he can muster, “This awful episode in my life was a salutary lesson for me; I was wrong, & Mr Biden correct. Yes, I should never have mocked him for wearing a mask; in fact, I wish that I too had worn a mask from day 1. NO one is safe from this nasty illness, not even the POTUS”. Or words to that effect.
Who knows what a ‘confession’ like the above could achieve?

He is not capable of humility or remorse.
Jonny4 year ago
Yes, he has no redeeming features; as mentioned, he could never display even the slightest bit of humility or remorse. In any case, if he DID have a ‘road to Damascus moment’, chances are that any new supporters that he may ‘pick up’ would be kinda offset by some of his supporters who would desert him, seeing him as weak! Fair to say that many, if not most of his supporters are probably exactly like him!

Hi Nate - Probably the best character assassination I have ever read with one small exception - I thought "fat white slug" was a bit Trumpean itself in tone and a little unkind to slugs, who in certain circumstances serve useful purposes.
However I think we Brits need to show a bit of humility "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" I am neither a religious Christian nor a Leftist, but our own nation having voted for Brexit and then the election of a self-delusional clown of low intellect with he ethics of an alley cat, to lead us, I feel we should be cautious in our criticisms of our American cousins' for similar mistakes. The good news is that the American Constitution with its multi-layered checks and balances was conceived to ensure that if the newly independent Americans accidentally or deliberately elected a President madder than Mad King George they would be able to deal with the situation. It is to their great credit that it has taken them 240 years to do so. The constitution has worked well in limiting his lunacy. Relief is nigh - if there is a just God, Covid will finish him. I do not wish that on him loathsome though he is, but if God decrees it, I would not Appeal against the decision! If God is actually impotent, as I suspect is the case, the voters look set to do the job, but in the worst case - unlike Britain or Russia or China - he will be definitely gone in 4 years.

Alan Braganza4 year ago
Incisively comforting to read !!! As this beautifully penned description by Nate White is very accurate, pleasantly entertaining and factually true, Nate may also want to elaborate on why such a con man has risen above much more qualified and competent political opponents. It is the zeitgeist in the US; unstable; a swirling cauldron stirred by his rhetoric. Therefore, it is highly likely with measures of certainity, that his ways are favoured by his supporters who want a rightist leader such as he is, with proven lack of accountability and ethics, because they are dissatisfied, angry and hateful; he allows them acceptance and a way to belong, yet all he wants is their vote. The clear fact is he abhors them and their divisive lives do not matter to him; his success does matter to himself, as does his family's, but evidence proves to lesser degree. He has succeeded in exposing the rotten core of hatred so rampant and historically so prevalent there, that in time, historians may acknowledge that Trump's parasitism of that fractional hatred vote, as worthy of infamy and notoriety.
It's rare that nature evolves pathogens to pandemic proportions; however, this current one has emerged to address a multitude of human wrongs and it is not finished; there will be more virulent ones appearing much more frequently...we really all had it owed to the callous generational attitudes and practices of those born in the 40's and 50's mainly.
Humans, collectively, may make corrections too; they may vote in better able, competent leaders, and discard the unworthy without remorse; as per Karma & Science; will they?

LMAO Joe Biden is confident in the fact that he will be elected. That is why doesn't run around campaigning. Most Americans don't like Donald Trump. You have no facts to back up your words. The polls show that the majority of Americans are fed up with the lies, chaos and uncertainty. If most Americans liked Donald Trump then he wouldn't feel the need travel to multiple cities campaigning. You are right in that he does play people like fiddles, against each other. He does enjoy the game. Is that the third world country that you want to live in? The man is not fit to hold the office of President of The United States, the most powerful position in the world.

I keep thinking I can find a way to turn a deaf ear to what seems like a serious case of tone-deafness on the part of what I know to be intelligent and well-meaning people. However, I fail. It is now Saturday, and the situation with regard to Trump is precisely the reason the term "schadenfreude" - taking pleasure in the misfortune of another - was coined. Nothing could be better for the USA than for Trump's attempt at self-immolation to succeed. Can anyone even spare a morsel of concern for a guy who went to NJ to collect campaign contributions - already aware that his fluffer, Hope Hicks, had tested positive and he had been in her company? Can any of you who persist with this "Biden was just as bad" drivel be serious? So Trump babbles on with the insane commentary about Europe being full of "forest cities" and "he has spoken with leaders in Europe who assure him that they control their explosive trees by meticulous forest floor maintenance" - all to lay the blame on the Governor of California for failing the state and turning it into a bonfire. And Biden fails to mention that 40% of the open land - not in private hands - is FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LAND, the responsibility of Trump's RAKE FORCE!! OK, that's certainly a reason to send Biden packing - and certainly equal to Trump's spewed crap. And "I heard Biden interrupt Trump" and "he was unpresidential calling Trump a clown and a liar and telling him to shut up." So Biden was not strident enough, eh? But you would have him stand there and listen to the public lies and personal attacks and figuratively take up a Rodin-esque "Thinker" pose? Confucius is often credited with saying something akin to "the truth is the absolute defense." Trump IS a liar, Trump IS a clown - those are performative statements. I believe that a person's spoken words say a lot about their intellect, with the result that I posit that folks who curse all the time are not going to Mensa meetings. That said, how many among us standing 12 feet away from a blathering idiot vomiting foolishness would have been so cool as to say "Oh, shut up?" I think more likely we would raise our voice and say "F-OFF YOU IGNORANT JACKASS!" Final thought, and while I still like (I don't love blithely and I sure don't pray!) those of you with whom I vehemently disagree about Trump's "accomplishments," and I am thoroughly dumbfounded by the choice of "policy over morality and ethics" I would offer this for thought. (BTW - Ralph Nader was a "personality" - Donald Trump is amoral and an affront to the word ethics.) Remember Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris? The Columbine killers. They locked their bedrooms doors, shunned social contact with family and schoolmates, wore heavy full-length coats during warm weather, etc. etc. Folks did nothing to question or investigate - they were "boys being boys." Those folks were ENABLERS. All of you who have called Trump a "personality" and a "different kind of politician" for nearly four years witnessed the vile behavior that culminated last Tuesday evening as a result of that enabling. Trump did not personally and directly kill anyone, but because his feet were not held to the fire when he was himself acting irresponsibly and promoting irresponsible behavior in colleagues and followers, he is surely directly responsible for the death of tens of thousands. And for Pete's sake, when is someone going to hit the kill switch on this "it would have been 2 million deaths if I had not acted so swiftly - or maybe 3 million?" Who made that up - Jared, Ivanka, ERIC!!! Over and out.

2 mollion deaths lol!!! There are 1 million deaths worldwide, so there's no way the USA could, at only 5% of the worlds population, provide double the deaths of the earth in total. Why does the media never show this simple mathematical truism?!

I keep thinking I can find a way to turn a deaf ear to what seems like a serious case of tone-deafness on the part of what I know to be intelligent and well-meaning people. However, I fail. It is now Saturday, and the situation with regard to Trump is precisely the reason the term "schadenfreude" - taking pleasure in the misfortune of another - was coined. Nothing could be better for the USA than for Trump's attempt at self-immolation to succeed. Can anyone even spare a morsel of concern for a guy who went to NJ to collect campaign contributions - already aware that his fluffer, Hope Hicks, had tested positive and he had been in her company? Can any of you who persist with this "Biden was just as bad" drivel be serious? So Trump babbles on with the insane commentary about Europe being full of "forest cities" and "he has spoken with leaders in Europe who assure him that they control their explosive trees by meticulous forest floor maintenance" - all to lay the blame on the Governor of California for failing the state and turning it into a bonfire. And Biden fails to mention that 40% of the open land - not in private hands - is FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LAND, the responsibility of Trump's RAKE FORCE!! OK, that's certainly a reason to send Biden packing - and certainly equal to Trump's spewed crap. And "I heard Biden interrupt Trump" and "he was unpresidential calling Trump a clown and a liar and telling him to shut up." So Biden was not strident enough, eh? But you would have him stand there and listen to the public lies and personal attacks and figuratively take up a Rodin-esque "Thinker" pose?

I believe that if the world 🌎 would stop grumbling and complaining about Mr. Trump's faults, and start considering the fact that GOD IS IN CONTROL. We also should remember that we all have sined and come short of the glory of God! And for those of you who are knowledgeable of the fact that the time of trouble has to start somewhere, we should be praying not only for ourselves, but for Mr. Trump as well. So that we all might be able to go to heaven when Christ come. Especially those of us who know the word of God. We know that God has admonished us to love 💘 our enemies, pray for oneanother. We who know about the store of Jacob and his brother Esau also know about Jacob's time of trouble. And that's where the people of God is right now during this covid - 19. So brother's and sisters get your house in order. I love all human!!!!♥ 🥰

Ola, I know you mean well, but I don't know about sinning and coming short of the glory of God stuff! On the contrary, we are full of the glory of God and we just need to stop outsourcing it to heaven or waiting to go to a place we made up and use our God-given powers to live the life we have been blessed with on this earth. Forget about praying for 45! ....he is living his best evil life! Rather we all need to improve ourselves so we can collectively make this a beautiful life!

Sorry, but are there NO ‘normal, credible people’ there to stand for President? And in a country so so full of talent? And I write as someone who is extremely fond of most things American!

Truth Be Told4 year ago
The Corporations own the politicians and the government. They are all bought and paid for. If we don't complain everything runs smoothly. If we do we are effectively silenced. Presidents are produced from the parties. Trump was the exception to all of that which is why he has a large following. He is his own man. Unfortunately he doesn't have the ability or intellect to lead. Americans are looking for a new direction but until someone pure of heart who isn't owned comes along we are destined to bow to the will of money.

President Obama brought us out of the greatest downturn of the economy since the great depression. Donald Trump took everything Obama did and put us into another recession which promises to be as big as the great depression. I am here. I know the truth and Trump is a liar. He had his chance and dropped the ball. He doesn't deserve another.

Combine this with the shameless nepotism and the tax cuts he gave to the rich and you should be worried - well unless you are one those rich ones, then you can do the 'I-don't-give-a-shit-about-poor-people' dance)! He is unempathetic and has destroyed the lives and livelihoods of many government professionals. And you cannot ignore that as President & Chief COVID-Denier, he is responsible for many lost souls! He has been romancing COVID since the pandemic started - COVID has finally agreed to marry him and I send them both my congratulations!!!!

Watching the clown-show they called a presidential debate the other night, it suddenly hit me, Americans are going to polls in a few weeks to choose between the nightmare Trump and this other guy who could barely string two coherent thoughts together, no offense to him but Joe Biden looks pale, frail and sick.
Where are all the energetic, good-looking, smart and talented people they portray in their movies and shows and business etc. they deserve Trump, and the rest of the world just have to endure the pain of watching.

Real life isn't the movies Fred. Our choice is dumb and dumber in November. One will continue the division and chaos and the other will bring some sort of stability.

I don't think the point is about the movies and real-life or Tom Cruise, but out of 328 million-plus people you wind up with a choice between the delusional, narcissistic crook and a frail, shell-of-himself Joe Biden.

Something needs to change if you contend that Harris will end up assuming the role then I guess you appreciate that the democrats should have presented a much stronger candidate in the first place.

They will never figure out how Trump has made fools of those who refuse to wear masks. Trump got tested multiple times daily for COVID-19, as did the people around him, yet he wanted to practically stop testing for all the rest of us. He mocked those who showed respect for others and the intelligence to wear masks. Trump’s administration is riddled with positive COVID cases now because those thick-headed Trump toadies who meekly followed Trump into the swamp. How many new people have they infected? Folks like Franco will never get truthful answers on FOX News.

What Republicans seem to totally blank out is that Obama handed over a fully recovered economy from the worst recession, and the stats show job creation is still higher than Trumps from the level it was when Obama took over. Plus this was done with the entire Republican Party AGAINST him for eight years. Trump has only achieved because of the complete collusion of the GOP, some of it questionable. The entire impeachment shredded the American Constitution, his lawyers were shameless. It’s all about absolute power and absolute greed.
Who remembers reading on the night of Obama’s first inauguration when TWELVE Republicans met at the CAUCUS ROOM in DC, NEWT GINGRICH and PAUL RYAN being two of them. They PLOTTED to bring down the first African American President just by saying “No” to all his policies. Yet he achieved and is much loved around the world. Google it and inform yourselves.

He is not graceful at all, and I do not like his mannerisms but he has accomplished more than any other president in modern times. I do not like him but he is most definitely the better option that our government is giving us. So next time maybe check your facts instead of insulting the the man and the way he presents himself. Glass houses sounds about right!
Ann T4 year ago
Here we go again... a Trumpist claims that Trump has “accomplished more than any other President in modern times,” but using Trump’s own words, rather than actually providing any evidence. Trump NEVER backs up these claims because he knows gullible folks like yourself, David, will pass them on. Only the willfully ignorant believe what you just claimed. FACT: Donald Trump lies constantly. You should be brave and fact check his debate comments - an avalanche of fact-checked lies.
Elizabeth4 year ago
Facts have been checked. YOU, sir, clearly have not done so or you would have seen just how many lies that traitor spews. I'm distressed that a seemingly intelligent man like yourself would fall for any of them, when the real facts are out there even from conservative sources that you might believe.
Please, stop drinking the Kool-Aid. How anyone can support a president who failed to act when his lovebuddy Putin actually admitted to paying bounties for captured American servicemen and also called veterans who were injured or killed 'losers'. The draft dodger even had the utter gall to question John McCain's service record (this, from the person who laughed and said his Vietnam service was screwing around New York and not getting AIDS) and called HIM a loser.
As a veteran and as a member of the DAR whose family has served in every single conflict up through and including Afghanistan, I cannot in good faith vote for a traitor who should be shot for what he's done for the people who have fought in good faith for this country and its democracy, and I find it impossible to believe that any *real* American (which any Trumpite is NOT; they are fascists wanting to deny the vote or a voice to anyone who disagrees with them) could support this Shakespeare of shit.

Oh, lighten up. He's not that bad. Sure, he's not the guy you elect to teach the country grace and etiquette. He's the guy you elect to kick butt and get the job done. He's the guy you elect to jumpstart the economy after a painfully slow 8 year recovery. Trump sent the US economy into the stratosphere in his first 3 years, until the Chinese government took the world down with Covid-19. We had the lowest, historical unemployment rates among all demographics. But too many Americans put style over substance. They would rather return to the well-mannered mediocrity of the Obama-Biden years and hope that the government will rob from the rich and spread the wealth around instead of putting citizens on a path to their own success.

This is spot on. He is an embarrassment to our country. The majority of Americans are mortified by him.

Everything he has done, or not done, has been bad for humanity. Instead of draining a swamp, he created a cesspool. My only hope is that all Americans vote and then work together to undue the damage he has done and rebuild a better country.

Since when did veiling insults with humor become the way to think let alone speak. Yes, Trump has obvious faults, and they are glaring. He is not a smooth, (often) lying politician. He is easy to poke fun of, and to blame every evil thing on. But he is a man of action. He gets things done. His main goal is to drain the swamp which, of course, the swamp doesn’t like. He is an easy target for those who like style over substance, who need a distraction to hide their corruption.

Rest assured, millions of Americans agree with every word Nate White writes. They would, however, most assuredly add that President Donald Trump's most abominable character flaw is that he is a pathological, habitual, shameless liar. The Washington Post keeps track of his daily lies, and the total surpassed 20,000 a few weeks ago. When asked about the veracity of Trump's words during our first 2020 president debate, fact checker extraordinaire Daniel Dale responded with this memorable phrase: "an avalanche of lies." His best lie-per-minute performance, though, may have come in an interview with Fox's Sean Hannity, one of Trump's leading apologists and enablers, when Trump lied 45 times. Perhaps Trump never read Alexander Pope's aphorism: "An honest man's the noblest work of God."

Many-many many many-Americans agree with you completely. Trump is beyond a national embarrassment. He's a humiliation, the giant pimple you try to cover with makeup, the racist obnoxious uncle you try not to invite to family events, the hemorrhoid that you will barely show your doctor. Remember that a majority of us DIDN'T want him for president, and we'd happily ship him off to Moscow where he belongs. What's almost more tragic is how many flaming morons there are living in our country who are so brainwashed that they can't see that they are being conned. Did anyone in the world ever guess that so many Americans could be so completely morally bankrupt and flat-out stupid? We sure didn't.

The NY Times reports that Trump owes some $400million. I’m a Brit (& very much an ‘Americaphile’.).
IF, in the U.K. someone was ‘WORTH’ the £ Sterling equivalent, he or she would be around the 400th richest person in the country——so not an inconsiderable sum. The POTUS is de facto the leader of the free world (& long may this continue!), but surely, in Trump’s case, IF this ‘debt news‘ iS true, not only is such a ‘personal debt’ a potential security threat to the US, but indeed to the free world at large, depending on to whom is this money owed? IF to a ‘natural enemy’ of the US (Russia, China?), then SURELY that country, (or its leaders) would have a certain hold on Trump, & by implication, the USA, & indeed the free world. (Rumours have always abounded as to a certain hold that Putin seems to have on that clown).
Therefore, it HAS to be established whether this $400 million debt is in fact correct, & if so, to WHOM is this money owed? Methinks this is far more important than whether that clown has or has not paid any taxes!
SCARY!

I'm reading comments here thinking...YES! People are finally seeing the truth about this phycopathic criminal and his cabal! And then I realize that we are all in one hell of a bubble. Do you think for one moment Trumpists would even consider reading anything from, or caring anything about, what comes from Britian or any other country for that matter? After all: America is #1, dude!!! We're the best at everything. Who cares what some asshole from England says about our Savoir-In-Chief?
I'd venture to say that most of his supporters have never left the US, or even their own back yard. Or read a book about other countries or cultures. And for most I'd say that their religious upbrinings have taught them to blindly follow sans critical thought. Ignorance is their safe place.
So please don't get cocky and believe we will get him out of office because there are thousands and thousands screaming from the rooftops like we are here. Like 2016 we are all in our bubbles; probably worse. Please just VOTE and get everyone you know to. And maybe, just maybe, we'll be able to squeeze past all their lying, cheating, and voter suppression to eek out an electoral college win.

I write from the US and I will not be voting for Trump in November.
I have often wondered how the folks over in the UK would eventually pick Boris Johnson as their Prime Minister. There are some similarities between him and our president. Was it in part because the Labor Party was in shambles providing no realistic opposition therefore giving Johnson a real public mandate? Was it in part that the Brits could not ignore his celebrity and notorious non-conventional approaches that made him irresitable while voting. The other part is obvious that a good portion of our UK friends did not like the EU and wanted out and he was their ticket to get that need met. Regardless of the reasons, I find him challenging many of the sensibilities I want to hold on to.
Perhaps it is similar to the situation here where conservative Christians in mass (87%) support the President in spite of a laundry list of words, behavior and business practices that appear to be unwholesome and unrepresentative of the value system espoused by them in order to cherry pick the prizes promised them for their support. The president has been faithful to them in every way and he is a gift that continues to keep on giving to them even right now. Likewise the white, male, lower and middle class person, without higher education, with little knowledge of world or national news events, that likes guns and machismo find Trump irresitable as well because of his nonconventional, outside traditional politics and his celebrity. These are the people who placed him in the White House and could very well do so again. Nothing has changed with their support for Trump since 2016. This last group was way undercounted and overlooked in 2016 polls in part contributing to the shocking 2016 result.
Nate White’s commentary appears to be saying that Trump is very different from the average UK psyche and therefore many there dislike him. I am very glad to hear this but I also find this challenging if my premise is accurate that Johnson and Trump have a lot in common and that the Brits could so grandly select Johnson and yet widely hold distain for Trump. I think I am missing something very important in this equation if Nate White is writing fact and would love some insight.

Brilliant essay. I would only add: He’s scary. We are scared witless. We’re also terrified by his supporters. We laugh at him but we’re in a full-on panic mode. He threatens our way of life, and we’re not sure he’s going to leave the White House, which will result in a civil war, which is already brewing. His followers are heavily armed. They are looking for an excuse to start a race war, which he encourages. We’re counting the days to the election, although we’re quite certain that the odds of a Trump loss are minuscule, because he won’t accept a loss and leave gracefully, not to mention that he may actually win, because of his attacks on mail-in ballots and his ominous promise that the Supreme Court will declare the winner.

Mr wheeler is wrong. The vast majority of Americans find those comments very relevant, because we care very much how the rest of the world perceives us Americans. International trade, diplomacy, and National Security all depend up
on good communication and good relationships with our International Friends. Trump erroneously believes he can do all of the above by himself, but his practices, tweets, and disgusting personality impede any chance of success.

I think Nate White painted the most accurate picture of Trump that I’ve read during his almost 4 years in office. The only omission was no mention of Trump’s never-ending lies. If he doesn’t like something it’s a”hoax.” If the press calls him on something he calls it “fake news,” He has told over 25,000 lies to the American people, with the biggest lie about the pandemic- which cost us thousands upon thousand of lives. He calls the press “the enemy of the people”- the same tactic used by Adolph Hitler. He will go down as our country’s worst-and hopefully one/term president. Thank you Nate - you did an amazing job!

Medical field is predicting close to half a million deaths by the end of December 2020, just 10 months of the plague. If he had not fired our national pandemic team, we would have had only 1000 deaths at the most like the most densely populated nation of japan that has had only 1500 pandemic deaths. God help us....

Well like so many, I don’t care what Nate thinks. His article was far from articulate and witty. It was crude and full of misinformation. But I can see why it appealed to a segment of our population. They anointed their own “queen Hillary” and lost and still can’t figure out where they went wrong. It’s people like Ann that think all Trump voters are uneducated, Mandy who thinks we are all Scottish and Irish. Today if you don’t think like them, you are racist. If you don’t vote like them, you are uneducated. They are typical elitists. And now it is do it my way , give me what I want or else we will burn it down.

Challenging Trumpists to actual support their wild and completely false claims about Obama, or providing evidence to back up Trump’s daily catalog of lies is hardly elitist, Madeline. If they post here with the insane garbage that Trump spews, and never bother to fact check him - as most of us are quite willing to do, that makes them willfully ignorant because they deny that Trump has done anything wrong without actually doing any kind of research whatsoever. They are uneducated when it comes to facts. They don’t realize that they are far better off to find out and admit they were wrong, than to foolishly continue believing that Trump actually cares about them. He only wants your vote, and if you jam pack yourselves into closed buildings without wearing masks, he won’t shed a tear if you all get sick. What kind of leader would allow that situation to happen?
And where did you get the idea that any of us are advocating to “burn it down”? Nobody in their right mind wants that, but Trump lies that it is what Biden wants. Shame on him. Shame on you.
Proud American5 year ago
Madeline,
Saying that you don't care what Nate thinks puts you in the mentality of "do it my way" that you accuse others of. Saying that it was crude and full of misinformation is the definition of Donald Trump himself. The man stands in front of the population daily and lies to us about anything and everything. That is a simple fact that anyone can check. Who is they and them? He is the one who has been telling us that there is a we and them. This started before he was even elected. Is the leader of a civilized country supposed to unite a nation or divide it? There is no we and them. We are all Americans. I am pretty sure all of us have the same goals in life. We want to be healthy, eat, work, prosper, raise families and live in freedom. We should all recognize the fact that if there is actually a we and them it is the "we" in the middle and lower classes who are getting screwed by "them". They are the billionaires, the 1% of our population who hold all the wealth and enjoy watching us squabble among ourselves continually in a divisive state. It is a distraction while they accumulate more wealth and power. As a billionaire Donald Trump is part of that distraction. If he actually cared about the general population of the United States we would have a health care system that covered everyone. That should be a basic right to Keep America Great. We would have an education system that was either free or affordable to everyone. That should also be a basic right of everyone to Keep America Great. He has had almost 4 years to accomplish that or anything else that would contribute to our well being. Instead he rolls back regulations to accommodate the 1% and destroy the planet. He takes credit for peace deals when there is no conflict. He takes credit for bringing back football(WTF). He denies responsibility for anything and blames it on "them". My life hasn't gotten better over the last three and a half years and yours probably hasn't either. It has deteriorated. While Wall Street is doing fabulous that benefits the 1% and not me. Unemployment is high and the economy is going down the toilet. It hasn't reached the cesspool yet but it won't be long. I have to walk around with a mask on. These are the things that I can relate to as an American. The man had some great ideas but he failed to implement them. He can put the blame on everyone but it all happened while he was President and I don't see an end in sight to the chaos if he gets in for a second term. We need to try someone else. I don't care who it is. Just stop the madness and bring some respect back to the office of President of the United States.

Only problem is, it takes 8 years to unravel that intricate cloth that makes up the nuances of other politicians people think they like, before anyone realizes the horror show they really are. After that, we move on to elect the next one who does the same thing to everyone for another 8 years. This is how Obama never repealed the Patriot Act, never passed the US equivalent to the NHS, spent billions to bail out major businesses, declared war and drone strikes countless times, never implemented any Green Energy initiatives, criminalized whistleblowers, and the list goes on and on and on, with the biggest slap in the face being that for his first 2 years he had virtually no opposition to passing or implementing any legislature from any other branch in the government.
If Obama and his nightmarish policies hidden beneath a flimsy veil of charm, are what people are comfortable with in a politician, than I like Trump simply for his ability to be surface-level shallow; what you see, is what you get. Our racists now wear white hoods and wave flags in windshields, making them easy for everyone to spot. Politicians taking Wall Street money now do so nearly in plain sight, no longer hiding their ties to billionaires. War mongering Conservatives now openly wave flags around demanding wars with China and N. Korea, instead of trying to sneak in back-alley deals to get their way. Thanks to Trump's 2016 run, we've also seen the Democrats openly exposed and even embrace corruption within their own party (hacked DNC emails).
Trump has simply demulsified US society and politics for everyone and nobody likes what they see. It should be a wake up call to actually FIX the problems, bot go back to burying them under a clusterfuck of "Liberal" blankets.

This is by far the best and most accurate profile of Trump I have read yet...and believe me it is no "Profile in Courage". You Brits have the gift of true wit whereas here in America it is about how crass can you get. I haven't watched an American TV show since Archie Bunker...I only watch British TV shows because you still know how to produce quality shows both drama as well as comedy. My favorite show of all time is of course Fawlty Towers followed by Are you Being Served and Open All Hours and on and on. And of course all your brilliant mysteries going back to the 40's and 50's. I am presently enjoying the Vera series. Of course preceded by Inspector Morse, and my all time favorite actor John Nettles in the Bergerac series, also my favorite show of all time, and Midsomer Murders as well. I guess you know by now I love all things British...just wish more of your humor had rubbed off on us Americans before we decided to cut our ties with the mother country. It surly has been our loss and not yours. As the current occupant of the White House all to clearly demonstrates on a daily basis.

Instead of taking credit for some peace talks between small oil rich, non democratic Arab sheikhdoms, & Israel, Trump should heed ‘Luke 4.23”, where Jesus said, “Physician, heal thyself”—-cure the rifts & divisions in your own country, before trying to sort out others’ problems! And—-NEVER has the US been so so divided & torn, & the President essentially instigating this divisions—message to the POTUS:

Nate is just another in a long line of many, who have absolutely nothing intelligent to add. Trump has been attacked, ridiculed and maligned from every angle and every corner of the planet since the day he descended the escalator, yet nothing seems to be able to stop him. That tells me he is a stable genius, when the whole world is in attack mode from all sides of politics against a world leader who has brockered unimaginable Middle East peace deals, is the first US president in 4 decades who hasn't started any wars (unlike Obama who bombed 7countries continuously for 8 years killing 2 million people and displacing 60 million more into Europe and beyond) has supported his own country's manufacturing base and made major prison reform specifically to support black Americans. Maybe Nate can't handle the fact that the Pilgrim Society has had their pants pulled down and has lost control of America. Make no mistake this is World War 3 and everyone on the planet is being forced to pick their side and either support patriotism and national sovereignty or a technocratic globalist take over of the planet. Dimwits like Nate have no idea what they wish for.

What does it tell you when the whole planet is attacking the President of the United States? The big picture is that Donald Trump is destabilizing our country and our relationship with the rest of the world. There is nothing stable or genius about that. We are in need of a leader who will unite us and not turn us against each other. Joe Biden isn't the cure for what ails us. I am certain of that. But Mr. Trump needs to be removed from being the most powerful leader in the world so that we can find a less chaotic means to an end. He is in way over his head and doesn't have the knowledge, proper advice or finesse to run a country. There is no bankruptcy option for him to fall back on. He is running it into the ground.

Trump voters are mostly descendants of Scottish and Irish people sent over here under horribly oppressive conditions, for the purpose of clearing New England then the Appalachians then the West of native people. They have been amping themselves up for a long time about “blacks.” I live in their community, in a rural area, about a third of us here do not agree with them but the government and police locally is very much with them. It would feel unsafe to put a Biden sign in my yard, for example. Frankly, the USA could use some help from its former allies. A good poll watching by the UN and some economic sanctions seems a reasonable last gasp NATO response. Perhaps if this nightmare gets worse, Britain might return us a favor?

He has been rush to a bunker under the white house. First president to ever have been there. This mess is a real dumpster fire and Trump is the arsonist .....

Queen Elizabeth was the only female member of the royal family who entered the armed forces and the only living head of state who served in WW II. Trump, on the other hand, is the only President without prior military nor government service. Trump supporters are almost the same as him... low IQ and low EQ. Handled covid badly and try to divert attention with the tiktok national security stuff. What about user information worldwide that is collected by apple, microsoft, google, facebook, instagram, paypal, amazon...... should everyone else in the world ban all those companies?

Turnaround? The economy was not in a bad place 4 years ago. It was in a really bad place 12 years ago when Bush left office. In the past 4 years, our deficit has increased due to Trump tax cuts, the rich are getting richer while the middle class and impoverished are doing same or worse. If Obama split the country, it was through the reactions of racists, not the actions of Obama himself (well, other than daring to win the election TWICE). Also, while Trump is a businessman, he is NOT self made and he has declared bankruptcy multiple times. He's been sued multiple times over a span of years where he has his lawyers stall until the small businesses can't afford to continue with the lawsuit to claim their rightful payments. He's on record as praising the great job that a small business performed and then stiffs then on the money owed saying they did a poor job... HMMMM why does that sound familiar.

In September 2015 he vowed to deliver universal health care. Six weeks ago he promised some health care in two weeks. Where is health care?
He said in 2015 he wanted to cut taxes for the middle class and raise them on rich people like himself. His 2017 tax law lowered tax bills for most middle incomes, but it disproportionately benefited higher-earners. If fully implemented over a decade, about 83 percent of the benefits in 2027 would go to the highest-earning 1 percent of households.
Trump said in 2016 “We've got to get rid of the $19 trillion in debt,” adding that he could do it “fairly quickly”
It was $19.9 trillion when he took office and topped $23 trillion by the beginning of 2020 before the pandemic hit. This week it was over 26 trillion trillion.
He promised to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. He never did that and the Federal minimum wage is still 7.50 an hour
He promised to provide six weeks of paid maternity leave to any mother with a newborn child whose employer does not provide the benefit.
He never did it.
Promised to pass a 1 trillion dollar infrastructure plan which he never did.
Whatever promises he has kept are more likely to benefit his billionaire buddies then they are likely to benefit me or you. Wake up! He is a con man and you are his mark.

You British asinine dimwit, Donald Trump is one of the greatest presidents ever. He has accomplished more for the USA in the last 3 1/2 years then the previous 4 presidents combined. Sure he lacks the demeaner of an Obama or a Clinton, but his business savvy makes up for that and I personally would rather have a guy that can get the right things done then have to worry about the way he comes across to morons like you. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

Let’s see here ... 1. Lied about the severity of the Covid virus for months, even though he told Bob Woodward that he knew about it at the beginning of the year. Told the American people for months that it would disappear quickly. Even at 200,000 deaths, he arrogantly denies that people don’t need to wear masks, including at his tightly packed Propaganda Fools rallies. He couldn’t care less about you and your families. Just be sure to vote for him before you croak. He continues to lie about the availability of vaccines, even when he has been repeatedly told by actual experts that it is highly unlikely.
Accomplishments? Name them, Issie. Go ahead. I challenge you to name something that is an actual fact, and not some bull crap that you heard from FOX News.
Trump is making fools of people like you who actually spout the rubbish you posted.

“Business savvy?” How many times has he been made bankrupt?
Yes, sadly it’ll soon be 200000 victims, thanks to his cavalier attitude; an attitude that declares that only HE counts!
So whereas scientists & doctors are working hard to create a vaccine for Covid19, Trump thinks “it’ll just go away”, like magic!
He admires dictators—-Kim, Erdogan & Putin; indeed
Putin has LOVED the past 4 years, as the Russian has really been calling the shots. A human being is needed as the next POTUS; the idiot in chief simply is sub human

I am an American living in Texas and I can tell you that his cult members do not believe anything negative, even the Woodward tapes. They can’t be convinced even with evidence right in front of them. They’ve been conditioned all their lives to expect a “savior” ( from what is the question) and now that they’ve found one, they won’t let go. Here’s something I saw in a small Texas town that’s the height of irony: a coughing, wheezing 75 year old man with a Trump 2020 face mask.
John Curtis Griffes5 year ago
Sure he said that to Woodward so maybe if we put it in simple terms you will understand it, lets say you have a ill child that may pass away so you tell them that it's not as bad as they think why because you try and keep them calm, or you are going into battle your Sargent tells you it not as bad as you are thinking, if you hear these words you are a little less worried about what is coming up and thats what the President was trying to do.
Ann T5 year ago
There is a HUGE difference here, John. Letting Americans know the truth about the disease so that they can listen to the advice of experts and protect their families is what a true leader would do. He missed that critical step because he was more worried about his precious stock market instead of lives. Instead, he chose to flat-
out deny that there was a potential devastating disease that he admitted was “deadly,” and continuing to pretend it “will all disappear” magically. He shut down the advice of the experts. He sought to control the data so that he could hide the actual death statistics. He mocked those who were wearing masks.
It’s absolutely absurd to pretend that he was trying to keep the nation calm, when it’s the same man who is shouting lies about Biden’s America from his bully pulpit in order to cause fear and panic among the uneducated folks like yourself.

There you go AGAIN Ann , thinking everyone is uneducated but you. And Biden’s America, he has never held a job in the private sector. He’s been in public office for 47 years and has not accomplished one thing. His America includes people like AOC, Maxine Waters, Hillary Clinton, Nadler,Schiff and Pelosi
There you go AGAIN Ann supposing that you are the only educated voter. Well you are wrong in your supposition. And as far as Biden’s America goes , it will include people like AOC, Ilhan Omar, Maxine Waters, Schumer and Schiff. So no thanks. You all can take credit for the looters and burners that Biden and Pelosi failed to speak out against until it was completely out of control. If those people are your definition of “ educated” then you are as dumb as dirt.
Ann T5 year ago
And there YOU go again, Madeline. Heaven forbid that you inconvenience yourself by actually doing a little research before you spread Trump’s lies. Did you look up what Joe Biden has done in public office? Served as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He led efforts to pass the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, and the Violence Against Women Act. As Vice President, he was known for being willing to cross the aisle to negotiate with Republicans.
As far as your comment about Biden failing to speak out against “looters and burners,” you once again did absolutely no research. If you had, you would have found several statements from Biden where he spoke out strongly against violence at protests. He said “Rioting is not protesting. Looting is not protesting. None of this is protesting. It’s lawlessness, plain and simple. Violence will not bring change. It will only being destruction. It’s wrong in every way.”
Facts matter, Madeline. The uneducated don’t give a damn about facts.

I'm an African American from the upper-midwest in the states. I couldn't agree more with Mr. White. This is an excellent assessment of the grifter-in-chief, full of sparkling language and derring-do linguistic spills one wants from good writing. Americans are an odd lot. I can't wait to move away. A brand new book helps explain much of why so many white, less-educated Americans voted for Trump and the rest didn't: "The Tyranny of Meritocracy" by Michael Sandel. As in Britain and elsewhere, center-left parties took in on the chin in 2016. Droves of traditional center-left voters migrated to the center-right party partly due to the failure of center-left parties, of which traditionally appealed to their interests, to essentially interrogate the notion of meritocracy, which they saw as somehow relegating them to being failures. Predictably, scapegoats were found, something Trump readily handed to them on a plate. Ironically, the British sociologist Michael Young coined the word 'meritocracy' in 1958. I suspect many Brexiteers were also hoodwinked by the same phantom.

Americans are basically friendly people and honest in the bargain. They will mow the neighbors yard if he is ill, bring plenty of food to the picnic. I like Americans. I am an American. The Famed Senator Eveyett Dirksen was my grandmother's cousin and a regular correspondent. But Americans don't know how to handle someone who lies, cheats, maligns people. They pull away or listen politely while looking for an escape. Turmp is those things in Spades. They can't believe that someon that important would stiff them, lie to them. They find the lies distasteful but at the same time 'what if they aren't lies? What if Joe is really that person, etc. This is paralyzing for them. Many with just sigh, shake their heads and vote their party. IMO Americans isolate themselves from the world, a thing Trump is using against them. The message of Trust No one but ME. Now saying he has only met two intelligent heads of State. Putin and Xi.

Kathy5 year ago
From an American. Politics has always been something that I tried to steer away from. I've always voted, but whichever way the election went, I always was confident that the checks and balances employed in our government system would always be steering in the countries best interest. I loved Obama as president. He was one of the few politicians I could stand - nay - enjoyed listening to. When I learned Trump was running for President, my stomach turned. I have never been able to watch a full episode of the Apprentice because I couldn't stand watching him. Now, I watch news shows every night to see what new atrocities are being reported about this man. I'm literally sick about the state of our country and the lack of not just leadership, but caring from out President (not my president). My biggest fear is that he will be elected again in November. I fear for the country and the world. I fear for the manipulation of our voting systems being caused by his overseas friends.
Reading your article, I was so disheartened, but not in the least surprised. People would look to America as a leader, a helper, and a great example of democracy. Now, I feel as though I'm being held prisoner and helpless in a country that just doesn't care. We have to get him out of office. Thank you for your words and please don't give up on the American people. There are some who want what the republican party can offer, but not necessarily what Trump is doing. They're afraid of losing their power or position. Most are good people, but are stuck with their leader. Others are just the crazies who are finally being given a green light to do their kind of damage. Please pray for us.

The wall idea was only partially to keep brown people out, it was to trap us in. No dictator wants all his servants to be able to leave. Canada, you should pray for a northern wall or prepare for mass immigration and the stress it will put on your infrastructure. I know no trump loyalists even finished the article, let alone will read the responses. There are two types of trump supporters, the ultra rich (Like him they have no empathy) and the nearly illiterate (like him, they don’t read). It’s hard to understand why the second group would believe he is one of them and would include them in any future dictatorship. He’s already said that after his 3-4 terms, ivanka should rule the country.

Some people want Trump to change and become a politician. Trump never said that he is a politician. Before he was elected, whatever he promised, he is now doing that and nothing more or different. Trump is a simple guy; he believes; America is the best and, America has helped the others during the hard times. He believes the world is not doing their part or support America when we need them. We elected him and he is the president until next election. Those people who are angry with Trump should pay attention what the politicians say before electing them, instead of crying foul.

Every day I continue to be more confounded with the incredible insanity we as Americans are faced with. I just keep wondering how we got to this point. I suppose there were a lot of like minded people who felt the same way in Nazi Germany in the ‘30’s. The trouble was no one ever aggressively expressed those thoughts and feelings to keep it in the minds of others who might not care enough to think it a problem. This is why we all need to use what we have to keep up the pressure to expose this president for what he truly is. Don’t stop the rhetoric. You know he won’t. And one other thing - VOTE!!!

It’s a sad time in our country. Two thirds of us are looking on in horror scrambling to see what we can do to get him out. And are dumbfounded when we come upon a Trumper who with their guns and their red baseball hats completely and literally shove their rhetoric down the rest of our throats .

You certainly have captured the very essence of Trump as he has had 4 years to expose himself. On June 10th, 2016 David Brooks -a writer for the New York Times alluded to Trump with the behaviors that correlate with someone suffering from ALEXITHYMIA. Physical and mental health evaluations should be included in electing a person to the highest Office of the Land! Trump’s interpersonal relationships were as apparent then as they are now. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” for Trump and for all Americans if interventions had been taken.

Perfect summation of the total lack of good characteristics in Trump. I did not vote for him, I cried for days after his election, I cringe at all that he says and does. I have always had respect for the president in the past, even those I did not vote for because they had a huge responsibility and they took it seriously, doing what they thought was in the best interest of all Americans and the world outside our borders. I am one of the many who say he is not my president. It has been a depressing time and Americans are taking his actions as permission to give into their worst inner thoughts and acting them out. Vigilantes get donations for their legal fees of over $100,000 and it is somehow okay that a black life is taken because of a forged $20 bill.

Extraordinarily well written and every point being spot on. Sadly, the people who should read it, namely his base, won't even give it a thought much less read it. In all my live I've never seen an election where so very many people who served in the White House under him or in high levels of government are encouraging voters not to vote for him. Add to that the many former Republican office holders also urging people to not vote for him. The saddest part after reading the article is what it says about a non-zero portion of our population in being so ardently in support of him. He must go and steps must be taken to prevent more significant damage to our nation after the election until January 21.

You have encapsulated everything I and 65% of the US feels. It is mind-boggling that any seemingly intelligent person in this country still feels Trump is doing a good job. My mother was born in Wales and I have a lot of family there. About 3 months into the Trump presidency and every now and then since then, I look at my husband and say, "I think it's time for us to move to Wales." Sounds like I'm joking, but I cannot bear the thought of enduring another four years of Trump and, worse, what that will do to the country I love so much.

I find it interesting he is visiting the California wildfires when his response last time was they need to rake out the woods of debris. So basically it’s California’s fault they have wildfires.

Read he’s not interested in helping the 3 states currently being devastated by these awful fires (Washington, Oregon & California), ‘cos they didn’t vote for him!
Shades of the dictator Stalin, who simply killed those who opposed him! OK, not quite Stalinesque YET, but Trump is proving he’s a dictator, & like the British PM, thinks he’s above the law!

I enjoyed reading your article. You nailed him...and as you mentioned (in so many words), it's impossible to miss at least some of Trump's flaws.... It is sheer torment living every day under his moronic, cruel, dictatorship. Every single day, he wakes up and decides what his next trick will be to intimidate, belittle, rob, punish, harm, degrade us and look "tough & strong" The sight of him and hearing his stream of consciousness sickens me to my core every single day. I'm ashamed to see how the rest of the world views America, because he is supposed to be our "President." I truly do not believe that he is our legitimate President as he has had a multi-prong corrupt operation (with Foreign interference) in place to fiddle with our 2016 election results so he barely slipped by in the electoral voting tally by having the critically close polling state results flip the election in his favor. I still have not gotten over his win. It came as an horrific shock to me, my husband and close friends. My heart was literally torn out and a sense of dread and fear consumed me throughout his illegitimate and criminal Presidency.
Trump used his bumbling criminal network (his campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and his assistant, Rick Gates, to share the weaknesses in our election process with Russian Oligarchs and Trump's son-in-law worked with his friends in the tech community use social media to do the rest. Unfortunately for Hilary Clinton and the rest of American, Hilary was viciously and unfairly attacked by the Right and was upended with the final blow (days before the election) by FBI Director Comey - and publicly informed that she was being investigated. That was right before election day and she could not recover from that hit. The rage and shock of those who could clearly see what was in store for us - felt sickened and helpless. We did not even have the Senate to stop Mitch McConnell from flooding the Federal Courts with hard Right-leaning and barely experienced judges.
Then, came the decimation of our Federal Safety rules that dealt with climate / Environment, immigration, voter suppression, tax relief for the very wealthy, attempts to destroy our Health Care, the ridiculous funding of the Wall and shaving off of money ear-marked by Congress for other very worthy projects - suddenly went missing! The endless breaking of the law, firing of those whose job it was to investigate Trump and his Administration, the ripping of traumatized babies and children of all ages from their heartbroken parents, the dreadful conditions to which immigrants were subjected, the revival of intense bigotry and hate groups spread like a disease across America. That certainly influenced the rest of the World and gave rise to bad behavior around the World. Then, came Covid19 and Trump tried to cover it up so it would not hurt his chances of getting re-elected if he had to shut down our Economy, so he chose to let it spread and lie. He ignored desperate pleas for help from the states who first got hit hard with Covid 19 infections and massive loss of lives. He turned a deaf hear and would not help our blue states with a supply chain to provide desperately needed protective equipment for medical professionals, emergency workers and citizens of that state. Those who were able to place a order overseas, had their cargo stolen by some US Government agency with Jared's finger print all over it, as he told blue states, that equipment is not yours, it is the US government Protective Equipment. Of course, Trump is bragging about what a terrific job he had done with Covid19, as our US death totals are approaching 200,000 and he still discourages the wearing of face masks and social distancing and demeans and contradicts Dr. Anthony Fauci's advice and warnings on how we must stay safe. Trump pushes insane and untested medical protocol that is unsafe and contrary to the medical community. Trump ignores the dangers of forcing people together in states where Covid19 is rising at an alarming rate. Trump never took a leadership role to protect us. He's only scammed and harmed us. Yet, he still has his supporters who would commit criminal acts for him - regardless of the consequences!
Dictators around the world felt free and encouraged to commit whatever cruel acts they wanted with Trump's silence or blessings! Democracy has been beaten so badly. Trump's daily criticism of the media and relentless lies have kept his loyal followers - even more emboldened to come out and fight the peaceful rioters on the streets across the US. Some Trump supporters have come heavily armed and used their weapons to support Trump. Trump let it be known that he was pleased by their support.
King Trump has stacked the deck with "Yes Men" to "lead" powerful Government Agencies in his Administration. These wild Trump Loyalists are also emboldened to lie and break the law for their corrupt leader. So, during Trump's term in office, he learned (with the help of another criminal, Steve Bannon) the value and method of "deconstructing the US Administration," so there is no way out of Trump's long reach. He's even got the "top cop in the USA," to head of the US Justice Department, as our US Attorney General - William Barr. Barr has broken all sorts of norms, laws, to fight for & protect Trump no matter what Trump does. Instead of being Independent from the Executive Branch (of the President) and fight for "the People's Rights," our US A.G. Barr has made himself Trump's loyal personal attorney! What Trump & Barr have done to weaken, handcuff, and downright suppress our Intelligence Agencies, FBI, and CIA is truly terrifying! Like a true dictator, he has suppressed the power of our government and never listens to reason, fair play, or logic. It's all about stealing more and more power and money! Those are Trump and his donors & loyalists' - twin Gods. Currently, Trump is working hard on being a watch dog to stop any of those under his rule to refrain from any type of investigation or interference with the Russian Hackers who are spooled up to covertly attack / suppress our ability to vote at the polls. I'm hoping that Trump and William Barr have not decimated the entire FBI, CIA, and Intelligence Agencies so there are still those who are willing and able to protect American Democracy from having their votes hijacked by foreign interference. Trump has already stopped the head of Homeland Security's Intelligence from informing & warning other federal and local agencies about the intelligence that has been gathered regarding Russian interference in our elections.
Even more bold and shocking, Trump is now using his US Attorney General to represent him in a rape case that occurred years before Trump was in politics where he raped a sales women in a dressing room and left his sperm (DNA) on her clothing. She was so upset that she ran home to shower and left those items of clothing with Trump's DNA on it - in her closet (to this very day). She was too afraid to report what happened to the police, but only spoke of it with a close friend who advised her to go to the police, but she did not. It is only in recent times that she spoke to the media to discuss what occurred. I believe her DNA stained clothing is currently being analyzed for future legal actions. So, William Barr has abandoned his legal role to defend "the People" of the US against corruption. Instead Barr is defending the Rapist (Trump) and fighting against the victim! It is pure corruption with no protection from the US Justice Department! Barr had also interfered in cases where the accused has been proven guilty and had criminals released.
I'm praying there are a few remaining patriots in our Intelligence and Justice community who have survived this corrupt Administration and are brave enough and willing to protect us from having our election stolen from us again from foreign interference. Since July 2020, Trump has fired the US Postal Service (USPS) Inspector General and replaced him with another criminal (and donor) named Louis DeJoy who is literally tearing apart our Postal Service by firing key management who oversee the distribution of mail in large centers and having them remove, destroy, hide these huge sorting machine that are capable of sorting and stamping 35,000 pieces of mail in one hour (some larger machines can sort more than that). The new management has ordered the postal clerks to just pick up enough mail to complete their first round of delivery and not go back for more mail to deliver. Large volumes of mail is not being sorted and distributed, so it is piling up. The reason he has done this is to suppress (lose or delay) all of the Absentee Ballots that are being sent out for early voting and for the Nov. 3, 2020 - the Election Day - the last day to vote. . DeJoy was subpoenaed to testify in the House of Representatives, but DeJoy arrogantly lied and wasted the everyone's time. If Trump's plan works out and the ballots arrive later and miss the submission deadline, then he will crush the Absentee Votes. ...and Russian hackers (and other Trump supporting hackers ) may be able to kill more votes at polling machines.
I /we could not bear another 4 years of Trump and his cronies. Climate change disasters are killing our country and Trump will not follow the Paris agreement or do anything that will protect our Environment. He's only interested in ampping up the proliferation of guns, Petroleum Industry, the use of Chemical Pesticides in farming, the increase in the release of toxic effluent in to the land, air, and water from polluting factories. Trump is the Master of Evil and Manipulation and every time I/we think - "This time he is caught red-handed and he will be taken down...", the Republican Party in Congress remains quiet or makes excuses for him. What a nightmare! If we (the anti-Trumpists) can get enough votes to overwhelm Trump's Voter Suppression plan, which will culminate in early November, we innately know that Trump will not go down without a fight. We know that he attempt to pull off some half-baked shenanigan to protest the voting results and cause more chaos and fear until he probably fights his insane argument in the courts. HOWEVER, knowing Trump's "motis operandum," I believe that our US Supreme Court (and lower courts) have had enough of Trump's criminal activities, threats, false claims and angry Tweets laced with more lies, intimidation, and voter suppression activities. So, I doubt if the courts will support Trump's march toward total Dictatorship where we will lose our Courts, our Constitution, our Freedom of Speech & the Free Press, or our Democracy. We still have limited rights at the moment, but that is fragile and could flip on a dime if our courts are stacked with a majority of Trump and hard Right Republican judges. I'm praying for a Biden-Harris Presidency in 2021 (or sooner) - we are due for a positive change!
Ann T5 year ago
Patricia, while I imagine that investigations have barely exposed the tip of the Trump iceberg so far, you have done an amazing job in your well-written and well-researched post of relating what we DO know. It is mind boggling to think that Trump supporters can wave it all away by repeating Trump’s flippant “fake news” response.
One of Trump’s chief arse-wipers tried to explain Trump’s downplaying of the seriousness of the Covid virus by repeating Trump’s claim that he didn’t want to cause a panic, yet couldn’t explain why Trump is using outright lies about Biden’s campaign to spread fear and panic to the uneducated voters. It’s just like 2016, when Trump ran viral campaigns ads portraying all immigrants as “criminals and rapists,” and now he is once again creating this outrageous scenario of life under a Biden presidency. He makes it all up as he goes along, and his lies are getting more and more desperate as more and more people are waking up to the absolute lawlessness of the Trump administration.

This is an unfailing accurate portrayal and the lack of education that enables his lackluster performance as a government leader ...is simply explained; a large amount of people don’t want to think. They want easy fast solutions to complex problems. He exemplifies American “traditions” in the worst way uneducated, simplified speech and thoughts presented with excessive emotion. The only good news is that in thirty to forty years all these idiots will be overwhelmingly gone from the USA and not close to anything except a minority in the states which will see less white power and more diversity , hopefully coupled with a thirst for intellect.

The 'followers' I deal with on a daily basis, surely will be aghast as I tactfully enlighten them with a few quotes of a well presented 'description' of the one I call 'The Assterisk'. Most have difficulty with my 'witty' approach to their banter, I've even been blocked by some, most react with juvenile responses, going into defense mode with name calling and personal attacks, sort of a 'quick to judge, quick to anger, slow to understand' way, ultimately exposing the limited knowledge of advanced vocabulary, to which I advise those to seek modern print, even classical for that matter, explaining a thirst for knowledge is never quenched. It's the blind with eyes wide open who have no one to blame, but themselves.

As a Canadian and very proud Canadian, I am so feeling bad for the good people of our neighboring country; Trump is the worst kind of man that exist on this planet. Mr Barack Obama was one of the best President the United States of America has ever had. Obama was such a beautiful human being and Trump is just Evil. To see what is happening in the States is unbelievable that people still believe in this LIAR 🤥, CRIMINAL, RACIST, RAPIST, RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF OVER 190000 PEOPLE OF COVID-19 AND COUNTING, LAZY, UNEDUCATED AND SO MANY MORE OF THESE QUALIFIERS WE COULD GIVE HIM. We have family and friends living in the United States and feel so bad for them. Open your eyes people in the States as this guy is a wanna be dictator, if he is elected, it will be the end of democracy in your country, so if you want a country under dictatorship, that is where you are going...

Karen Jennings5 year ago
You my dear sir have allowed me to exhale for the first time in a long time. As a 65 year old African-American female here in Texas, I lived through the Civil Rights movement of the 60's. As a child, I felt and heard the racist taunts. I bore witness to the murders of our leaders, the bombings of our churches, the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, dogs being beset upon peaceful protesters, and countless atrocities all at the hands of our government officials across the land and the protected Klansmen and other white supremacists. Death, fear,and the spectre of something sinister lingered in the air throughout the years. We waited for the other shoe to drop. Though there were continuous incidents of innocents being butchered for the sheer pleasure of it, we worked,lived,loved, as we pretended that times had improved and that the citizens of this country had bettered themselves as it pertained to their racist beliefs . Every word you have written is true. We saw evil personified in this man who would be president. The emperor truly had no clothes! The Republican party had become filled with sycophants who reeked of the same evil. The word shame held no meaning for them. There was no shame in pulling babies,small children, and teens from their parents and placing them in camps. We saw they and their parents sleeping on cement floors covered with silvery thin sheets meant to protect them from the cold. I watched on television as a teen child staggered from a cot and fell to the floor in a heap in a camp to die alone because they were refused any care or treatment. The only outcry were 7 doctors who were arrested for blocking the street in protest as they attempted to treat the children. Each day, when we thought it could get no worse, Trump demonstrated a satanic wrath that made it evident that this was only the beginning of his depravity. You are correct that it is hard to believe that anyone could make Richard Nixon look good,for he could be canonized if we compare the two. I would have to apologize to even a troll, because in my lifetime I have never seen anyone like this! He and his Republican minions reflect lucifer(pride), mammon (greed), asmodeus (lust), leviathan (envy), beelzebub(gluttony), satan (wrath), and belphegor (sloth). They have literally mastered the 7 deadly sins and the truth be told, they have violated all of the 10 Commandments. We regret wholeheartedly that the world must watch us as we defile the democratic process, betray our allies like the Kurds, and abandon the efforts to save this magnificent planet given to us by God from climate change. Pray for us as we muddle through the muck and mire that is the slimy trail being left by Donald Trump, the Republican party, and his followers. There is absolutely nothing normal about these times and add to that COVID-19, we are clear that besides VOTING like our lives depend upon it because they do, we must keep the faith! GOD is our refuge in a time of trouble and only HE will see us through this dark time! May God bless you for your wit, your family,your country, and Queen Elizabeth!

You nailed it and by it I mean the Trump. I have to laugh when I hear Trump cultists say, “He tells it like it is.” The hilarity in that statement is Trump invents “it” depending on his needs and as he finds necessary. Nothing he says is true. If they choose to live (or die) in his fantasy world may their god help them; they definitely need help.

What you you do not like about him is, he tells it like it is, he does not pussyfooted around. Most people do not like that. But in business you know exactly where he stands, there is no guessing. In the world we live in today, there is no time for being necessary a nice guy, he is a counter puncher. Do you real think his opposition in America is nice to him? Look at accomplishments, not how the press feels about him, because they hate him because he has accomplished more in 4 yrs than, their savior, Obama did in 8 yrs. The difference is Trump is for America, Obama was a globalist.

Bravo! Your article is spot on. Trump is a horrifying embarrassment to many Americans like me. But he is a hero to that third of Americans who feel snubbed, frowned upon, looked down on, etc. by the rest of us who don’t understand their disenfranchisement and their need to hate and demean others who don’t conform to their standards of normal. Some religious leaders play the role of dividers in this dangerous game and encourage their flocks to see the evil in others. It’s truly worrisome how all this will settle. But I hope the November election is a start. We’re not all nuts at this end of the pond.

This article is ridiculously and regrettably spot on. Trump is the worst of every human trait, and every inhuman one, too. In late autumn 2016 I had the great pleasure to travel from New England to a conference in Sydney, AUS. My Australian and New Zealander colleagues were certainly more confused and possibly more traumatized than I was: "you're supposed to be better than us." "WE'RE NOT" was basically the only retort I could accurately muster. There is something now as present as has always been: a deep human ugliness. What has saved us up to now is our aspirational democracy. That was fine when we got close to those lofty aims but now we are falling far far short. The only thing that gives me hope is that we have seen this before: after Abraham Lincoln we got Andrew Jackson, a racist by every measure. After Obama we get Trump —also impeached, like his hero Jackson whose portrait he defiantly hung in his office while also defiantly refusing to unveil Obama's portrait. But in the scheme of history, while not a straight path, Jackson is a deep embarrassment and stain and so too will be Trump.

You have described many things about Trump accurately and so I guess since you aren't a citizen of the U.S. We don't have to care what you think. Thank, God! I am not voting for him because he's nice, eloquent, or good to look at. He and his first wife have raised some good kids. I wish my family was as close as his seem to be. He has done some good things for the U.S. My investments, such as they are, are growing. In fact, I lost money when every thing shut down and I have already recouped my loses. I want a wall to help control who comes across the border. I'm for immigration, but, according to the laws already set up for that. I like my insurance just the way it is. I don't want a lot of taxes caused by a lot of gov't. run programs. I want to decide where my money is spent, saved and invested. The money I save and invest is there for someone to borrow and pay back with interest and that is how I will use my money to make money. You said all those ugly things about Trump. To be fair, since you are Brittish and what you say doesn't count; what about Nancy Pelosi, Mr Schumer and the rest. They did not take Pres. Trump's run for the Presidency serious until it looked like he might win. Since then they have accused him of one thing after the other, wasted the taxpayer's time and money trying to prove their accusations, and have not proved anything. They have blamed him for covid, for people rioting in the streets, for businesses that have closed. They criticize him for saying we will get through the pandemic and then criticize him for saying it's going to be tough; for not wearing a mask, for wearing a mask; for closing the schools and businesses down, and then for opening them up. If any one person was powerful enough to do all the things they have accused or blamed him for, that person could rule the world. Oh, wait; someone already has that position: GOD, and you know what? He's not fixing it because, we have gotten OURSELVES in this mess. People want to blame someone or everyone else for their failures, or problems. I am not the cause of your problems; you are not the cause of mine. The Democrats and Republicans aren't either one totally to blame, and certainly PRESIDENT TRUMP is not at fault any more than anyone else. The Democrats, Republicans, the Senate and the House CANNOT get anything done without each other, they can't get much done without the President and the President can't get much accomplished without them, and NONE of them would be there without us. America will not fall with a little give and take. Before blaming EVERYTHING on your DULY ELECTED PRESIDENT, how about helping him instead of hindering him. I bet you would be surprised. And you people across the pond…Well you don't get a vote; besides you have your own politicians to worry about.

Laurie Lankford, shame on you. Trump may not be 100% responsible for everything bad that’s happening, but he (and his “close” family) are profiting from his presidency. YOU are not profiting from his presidency. If you know anything about the stock market, and history, you should know that. Too many Americans have set aside morality for what they consider to be “values,” but you are misled and misinformed (partly your own doing). Trump is what he is. And he is largely responsible for making the USA the laughingstock of the world, not to mention a hotbed of sickness and death due to his backwards, lying response to the pandemic. But fear not, as hindsight is 20/20, so when some day after we reach 400,000 deaths, and have lost our democracy to the sins of the greedy and ignorant, it will become clear because the 30% like you will have lost more than you gained, as will everyone, and then perhaps you will try to find the goodness in your own soul, as you realize that Christianity, or morality, or whatever you call it, isn’t about walls or Wall Street, but about loving your neighbor, protecting everyone’s rights (not just your own), and yes, truth-telling and inclusiveness.

You are blinded by this sociopath. He does not care about you or anyone else. Sociopaths only care about themselves. You mention God? What about Trump's values. Married 3 times, cheated on all of his wives including his last one, a shovinist pig who cannot handle a single word of criticism, and he has managed to blind people like you with his rhetoric. Do you really think he cares about you. The tax cuts he and his buddy Republicans passed have netted his families hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, he uses charities to make money, he "gives away" his presidential paycheck of $400,000- big deal, his trips to Mar a Lago at the expense of the US taxpayers more than make up the money he is saving by not using his private jet to fly here. All his entourage is paid by us, and in return, he gets to make more money. Do you really think it is a coincidence that he goes and screams to "boycott Nordstrom" or that he helped Carrier with a new deal, or that he gave Astro Zeneca millions because they are about to have a vaccine? He know that everything he says will influence the market and he and his buddies are making billions. He is a racist pig! So if Democrats are by association "socialists" then Trump loyalists are by association all racists. And as far as God is concerned, how many times do you thin Trump went to church? The man thinks HE is god. YOu are so blinded by his rhetoric it is truly sad, and what is even sadder is that no matter what he does, all of you think he is still great.

Katherine I am with you. I am so much better off with Trump than with those that are sitting on their butts and letting violent groups getting away with lawlessness and destruction of property. I am not voting for a party that supports the likes of aoc, pelosi, schumer and schiff. Yes I deliberately spelled them in lower case because that’s what I think of them

Evelyn, you and everyone who thinks like you is helping to divide America and contributing to the demise of OUR democracy. Take your head out of the sand. Trump was elected because of the electoral college, which is a racist system that should have been abolished long ago. If you really believe Trump is doing GOOD in OUR country, I am sorry for you, as you are sorely misinformed and lacking in humanity. I am so ashamed that so many Americans think like you. It makes me sad and angry, because your “values” only serve your mindset. They hurt everyone else, and especially the underdogs. But I suppose that like Trump, you think all underdogs are “losers.” I’m not saying the Dems are a great solution, but I’m certain ANYONE would have done a better job handling the pandemic. Trump is a danger and a disgrace. I hope some day you realize it and see clearly.

Civil rights marches, protests against Vietnam, Detroit riots; Any of that sound familiar? Someone forgot to tell Trump not to steal the page about getting caught lying on audio.

I thank you for focusing your witty talent with laser accuracy on this fool and his unforgivable foibles.

The Brits are right on. From the beginning of his presidency when he was visiting London and was with the queen to observe the guards, he was so rude he stepped in front of her and then blocked her and she had to peek out from behind him it was so humiliating and embarrassing for our country to have this kind of an idiot presenting himself to the people of London. From there he went to a meeting with a group of world leaders and pushed the Prime Minister of Montenegro at a NATO summit in Brussels Belgium so that he could get his picture taken and be in front. He is such a horrible embarrassment.

As a mental health therapist of 30+ years, one of the most difficult part of having this alleged human being in our government has been trying to deal with the underlying knowledge that he is, to put it simply, nuttier than a fing fruit cake. He has no redeeming social qualities. Furthermore, he lacks the intellect to try to repair or cover his deficits. I cannot bring myself to listen to a word he says. I cannot make myself attach the term "president" to his name. Therefore, I refer to him as IQ45. He does remind me of someone who is not firing on all cylinders as he tries desperately to lie and lie and lie to get people to approve of him. I will be voting for any Yellow Dog running on the Democrat side in Nov. I would rather be dead than vote for IQ45 even by mistake.

Sadly, based on such a self righteous rant, you seem rather akin to Mr. Trump. Further, as you claim to know what "God wanted", you appear to also be like the masses of American evangelicals trapped in destructive and delusional magical thinking. And finally, if you knew about the American electoral system, you would also know that the vast majority of Americans did not vote for Mr. Trump. Period.

He is despicable and a danger to us all. We must, and we will, defeat him at the polls in November.

I think quite a few people are really missing the bottom line here.
Firstly, yes Donald J Trump is a total TWAT. But everyone knew that just from looking at his TV show, he’s a cut throat businessman and a pretty ruthless one at that - again everyone knew that. HE’S NOT A POLITICIAN FOLKS! THATS WHY PEOPLE VOTED FOR HIM!
Now let’s look at the other side, - the Clintons the Obamas all looked up to him and wouldn’t stop singing his praises, until he ran against them, why? Cause he was tired of the lies that come from politicians and don’t do anything for the people, which he even stated in the 90’s. Unlike the aforementioned politicians, Donald Trump says a thing and does it, every single politician we’ve ever seen, met and watched were all bags of lying shite’s making promises on one side and delivering the total opposite on the other side. With the mess the left has made over the past 6 months with the riots and BLM A lot of democrats are actually mobilising to support Trump in the next election, this will be an even bigger victory than the last election.
A lot of politicians should take a page from his book and show they have some spine and START GOVERNING FOR THE PEOPLE.

Ann T5 year ago
Stanley, that is one heckuva delusional world you live in, and unfortunately spread to the other uneducated folks who believe everything Trump’s propaganda machine barfs out. The Obamas and Clintons sang his praises? In what world? As far as Trump saying something in the 90’s about lies, nearly all his ignorant quotes have come back to haunt him, including the infamous, “If I’m president, I won’t have time to golf.” He’s played more golf than Obama did in 8 years, and has profited hugely at taxpayers expense because he owns the golf courses and WE have to pay for all the security detail when they rent carts, etc.
The BLM have a legitimate concern when it comes to inequality in the way people of color are treated. They continue to protest because they are being gunned down every day. I agree entirely with Joe Biden when he recognizes the problem, but also says that looting and violence should be punished. He did NOT say he was for defunding the police. That was another Trump lie. Trump’s message to BLM has been that he is willing to force them to disappear, rather than actually doing something to smooth relations between the police and BLM. Trump was the one who sent UNIDENTIFIED people take protesters off the streets in Portland and force them into UNMARKED cars. He made things worse, not better. He has no idea what he is doing. Trump is the one who tear gassed peaceful protesters so that he could stand in front of a church and hold the Bible upside down.
Thanks to Trump’s ignorance and narcissism, we are closing in on 200,000 COVID-19 deaths. Many more will follow, because he doesn’t want people to wear masks or social distance because it reminds him of his total failure.
I’d love to see your evidence that Democrats are changing sides. Maybe you should check out the Lincoln Project. The exact opposite is true.
Trump loves the uneducated, as long as they cheer blindly for his lies and vote for him. Other than that, he doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself.

I agree completely. The Trump haters should list what Trump has accomplished in 4 years while fighting all the viscous lies and the virus vs what Obama accomplished in 8 years with complete support of the broadcast and print press, arms of the Democrat party. Be honest about it.
Madeline5 year ago
Thanks for telling the truth about him. We elected him because he was not a politician but somebody who would fight the Washington gas bags.I am voting for him again because he has done just that under the most appalling attacks ever perpetrated on a duly elected president. The other side just can’t get over “Queen” Hillary losing. They are the generation of”everybody gets a trophy” and not the generation of” next time I’ll try harder and win”.
Madeline5 year ago
Should get your facts straight. I , and millions like me, are not uneducated. But that is part of your thinking, that you are better than anyone else. But the fact is that some of Biden’s supporters are Americans or Latinos, who through no fault of their own,have not had the good fortune to be higher educated and are held prisoner by that party that keeps telling them they are victims. He has given more money to Black colleges and universities than any other President because he believes through education their lives can be enhanced. He has created more jobs for African Americans and Latinos than a black president did. And as far as Covid—- in the 1940s and 50s there was a pandemic called polio. It was a new disease that no one knew how to treat or cure . People died and some were paralyzed and some recovered but I never heard any politician say Truman murdered thousands or caused its spread. A vaccine took years
Well Ann I , and millions of other supporters, are not uneducated. Maybe you lost last time because you just thought you were better than everybody else. You just couldn’t understand that we didn’t like or believe “Queen Hillary”. We could not and would not stand for another 4or 8 years of Obama like rhetoric and apologies where nothing of value was accomplished.
Jan Fabiyi5 year ago
This was wonderful! I have heard that some Americans who are voting for him actually do not like him as a person (he's a person?) but think his policies are best for the U.S. (I don't understand that, but whatever...). So you can't translate people voting for Trump as people who thinks he's a great guy. Though, I believe, there are some of those. They are the Crabbe and Goyles of this world.

Eric Silvagni, he has always been pro-choice, up until he decided to switch parties and run again in 2016 & needed the evangelicals as his base. Many close to him know this and he’s stated as such several times. Michael Cohen says straight out in his new book, “Disloyal” that he’s always been pro-choice. He just lies about everything.

Numerous folk here are posting messages suggesting that Brits ought to be grateful to the USA for the USA’s magnificent war effort! Of course Brits are extremely grateful—-but what’s that gotta do with Trump? It’s gotta do with what the USA did for the free world in the early 40’s. But if ANY individual needs mentioning in this this respect, it’s gotta be your great former President, Gen. Eisenhower!
Why, if Trump had been President then, he’d have run a mile—-wasn’t it only a couple of days back when he mocked vets as being loserS & suckers? And did he not refuse to visit a war cemetery in France where scores of brave US servicemen are buried? So much for WW2 & Trump!
Yes, Brits ARE grateful, but to the USA under Gen Eisenhower—-‘NOWT to do with the present

You write well. Yet despite the breadth and depth of his empty mind and soul that you've easily revealed, there are still more clandestine activities and adjectives you did not uncover, which is through no fault of your own. Brits, I've been told, like brevity as well!
The other man on the ballot is much better; it's ridiculous to posit otherwise, or to even try to make comparison. Those who think Joe Biden is somehow the moral equivalent are perhaps are either ignorant on how to judge character, misinformed, hopelessly partisan, and/or haplessly disillusioned by politicians in general.
Hugh Croll5 year ago
First of all, I am a British-born American citizen and in my opinion, for what it's worth, not every Briton possesses the qualities that your writer lists, and not every Trump voter is a lunkhead. Considering the alternative in November 2016, it is little wonder that Trump won the election. Many of my Liberal friends disapprove of President Trump, and some are impolite and uncivil when speaking of Trump voters, so the Never Trumpers have their share of lunkheads !
Jim Harris5 year ago
Nate White you are brilliant. Your analysis, of "the man who shall not be named" by me, was spot on. He does not represent the majority of Americans as seen by his vote totals in 2016. I will be 79 shortly and have a good friend a couple of years younger than me. He is straining our friendship of forty years by his unwavering and blind support of our President. I hated "the man who shall not be named" even when he was, in his own mind, a reality TV star. More so now. Most of us really care about minorities, climate change, healthcare, immigrants and our allies. Please let your readers know that our President does NOT speak for the majority. Thanks for the writing.

Absolutely! Trump & Boris is a ‘mutual admiration society’, the Brit taking his lead from his American master, who is probably Boris’s role model.
Like his hero, allegedly, Johnson is a racist, a misogynist, a serial liar, & an adulterer. More articulate than his US counterpart, Boris nevertheless is all bluster, & like his hero, cannot deal with ‘detail’.
The other difference is that whereas Trump possesses neither style nor substance, Boris is ‘all style & no substance’
In fact, Boris, being born in the US could WELL be a future POTUS—-NO one would notice the difference from what’s going on now!

Mr. Nate White the British writer who was sitting in his comfortable seat of judgement to describe Trump to me is like a case of kettle calling pot black because he simply gave a definition of a typical British. It is their same inhumanity that kept Nigeria in the unfortunate situation she found herself today because of their selfishness. Really? The fire they ignited long ago is increasing in intensity everyday n they sit comfortably on the fence b watching. They don’t care if entire nation is wiped out and now they have the gots to talk about other people with even better character. So sad!!!!

Trump is truly an embarrassment to the United States. Fox News has spent 20 years poisoning the minds of a third of this country by spewing lies and propaganda, delegitimizing the media, and convincing their viewers that Democrats should be feared and hated. We can only hope that the nightmare that is Trump will end in November, and that a way is found to restore faith in the news. Perhaps some critical reading and turning off the TV news would be a good place to start.

Ann T5 year ago
Your problem, Jack, is that you are viewing the Joe Biden that FOX News, and the Russians who are planting the false information on social media, and Trump himself want you to believe. It is either entirely false, or blown so far out of context that it is nothing near what he actually said. For example, Biden did NOT say he would defund the police, and he spoke out firmly against violent protesting and looting.
Trump’s Russian comrades are already polluting social media with Joe Biden quotes that have been altered. That’s a fact. Haven’t you ever asked yourself why Trump defends Putin, even when our own intelligence agencies are giving him information on bounties on American soldiers, and election interference? He defends PUTIN. Think about that, Jack. Why would he defend Putin?
If you have actually read factual information about Biden and his policies, you shouldn’t have any trouble deciding who to vote for in November. You may not agree with everything, but the alternative is a mentally unstable, petty, vindictive man who puts Putin over his own country and lies every single day.

For the first time in my 66 years I am truly afraid for the future of this country should he be re-elected.

Sadly, his horrid tweeting and campaign rallies are not shocking or funny anymore. They only thing missing is a trademark solute and a Toothbrush mustache.

VOTE BLUE 💙
Pat W5 year ago
Nate White perfectly describes the pResident Trump. Many Americans would agree independent of their party affiliation. Am hoping delegates in the 6 swing states agree. I hope Nate writes an article about VP Pence. He’s got similar issues. And both trump & Pence are voting absentee, yet both argue against it for US voters. Hopefully people will do mail-in votes & vote blue especially in the Senate races. We only need 3 blue candidates to have a Senate majority. McConnell & Graham need to go. Also Collins in Maine. McConnell has blocked or refused to submit legislation to the Senate members on important matters like unemployment insurance payments. So many people are unemployed or their workplaces have shut down or permanently closed. $600 per week would help so many pay their bills, mortgages or rent, utilities etc.

I am an American, and Nate White hit the nail on the head with his summation of Trump. He is a little man who admires dictators and wants to be one. He has not done one thing to improve life here in the United States. Al he cares about is himself. The coronavirus is raging here due to his slow response. He does not set the example by wearing a mask, and many of his followers don’t. If you don’t believe me, watch the videos of the RNC. He encourages racism, and praises gun-touting vigilantes shooting peaceful protestors. He is a danger to the world and an embarrassment to the United States. I did not vote for this loser, and I am ashamed that he is the President of my country.

@LindaK I wonder what backbone you see in little donnie drumpf?
I see a failed business man who cannot borrow money from ANY bank based in his own country
A failure running Casinos where the house wins over 95% of the time Las Vegas just like the American Based banks will not touch him
I see a fraud that settled a lawsuit he swore not to settle Trump University
And for all the Faux Christians I see a man who has committed adultery like we tie out shoes.
I see a family that has defrauded charities
As far as his love affair with Russia that offends me deeply He is a few years older that myself but he lived during the Cuban missile crisis
What offends me Is I will never ever forget nor forgive the USSR now known as Russia for parking Nukes 90 miles off the coast of this country aimed at us.
Same as I will never forgive the POS that pointed a loaded 357 Magnum at me.
And lastly I will not forget his racist gaslighting with the Central Park 5

When LindaK and people like her repeatedly post on something like this and in particular her "English born American" comment, we can all assume she is a Russian or Chinese bot. Those people love to cause controversy: we Americans get angry at their post and when one or two Americans support it, we turn on them also. This is the sick game Russia and China are playing with the American people. We must vote in overwhelming numbers to get rid of tRump. We Must.

I do not know who 'Linda K' but her use of the word backbone is interesting...

Seems these people are not 'losers'.

As an American who grew up overseas in Turkey for fifteen years and speaks four languages I am amazed at how he could become President. He really is a modern version of Louis XIV. L’Etat c’est Moi ! He has no Versailles but wishes he did. He could then control the radical left. Too many Americans feel the “United States” should be great again without the rest of the World interfering. They do not understand the World is interconnected and countries need to work together.

His backbone is made up of self-interest, mental instability, traitorous intentions, adultery, thievery, mockery of the disabled and military heroes.

I have worked with these people, I have had conversations with them about different common sense topics and life events and thought they were normal by any ones measure. Now we can't even agree to disagree. It's like there is a veil in front of their eyes when it comes to watching him speak and carry on and embarrass this country to no end. I wish the media would just walk away. Don't spend a moment longer reporting on anything he says or does. It would drive him insane, but give the American people some sanity for sure.

Kevin5 year ago
I don't like his personality either. If fact I often can't stand it. But I have learned to separate personality from policy. On a policy level he has done many very good things for America, more than any president in my lifetime. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/trumps-list-289-accomplishments-in-just-20-months-relentless-promise-keeping Obama was polished and eloquent. He was also very ineffective and dishonest. Trump was voted in by Americans to be a disrupter to Washington D.C., which was sorely needed. It's not pretty when you disrupt the crooked status quo of lifetime politicians. They started fighting him before he was even sworn in. And they have never stopped. He is not polished and often lacks discretion. But at least you know where he stands, which is refreshing for me after being lied to directly by Obama who said, "If you like your (medical) plan, you can keep it - period." I believed him until I received the letter saying my plan was cancelled and the new plans with worse benefits would cost twice as much. The greatest threat to the United States is liberalism, the end of which is Marxism. Trump is not a perfect man, but for now he is the perfect man for the job. The Brits should understand this because it was the same with Churchill in WWII.
Ann T5 year ago
The Trump flunkies in the White House wrote that “289 accomplishments” list and gave it to the Examiner, which isn’t exactly a big name newspaper, but probably the only one who would publish such a list. Maybe you should google the fact checks, too.
Obama’s plan was to keep your own insurance, but that didn’t work out because the insurance companies got greedy. Obama didn’t deliberately lie, as Trump has done numerous times each and every day. Mitch McConnell made sure that nearly everything Obama tried to accomplish was never brought to a vote in the Senate. McConnell is a wretched excuse for a human being, but thanks to organizations such as the Lincoln Project, McConnell is finally being exposed for the two-faced, evil, Trump asskissing fool that he is. His own state is a mess.
Trump is deliberately dishonest because he is sure of two things: (1) You won’t fact-check him, which is why he says he loves the uneducated, and (2), you will pass on your false information and fake news to forums like this one, and other fools will believe it and pass it on. He is not the champion of the people that he wants you to believe. You do realize that the payroll tax that he is trying to eliminate is what helps funds Social Security, don’t you? You do realize that he has not produced a health care plan that he has been promising for four years? You do realize that he careless and ignorant reaction to the coming pandemic is what brought so much death and hopelessness to our country? He STILL is refusing to take it seriously because he needs his uneducated Deplorables to come and cheer his lies at his rallies. He sets a terrible example for the country. But go ahead and pack the stands and leave your masks at home. Trust Trump with your life, and the lives of your friends, parents, and children. Trump would never lie, would he?? Would he, Kevin? Think about it.

Donald Trump vs. the United States of America
Just the facts, in 40 sentences.
By David Leonhardt, The New York Times September 22, 2019
Opinion Columnist
Sometimes it’s worth stepping back to look at the full picture.
He has pressured a foreign leader to interfere in the 2020 American presidential election.
He urged a foreign country to intervene in the 2016 presidential election.
He divulged classified information to foreign officials.
He publicly undermined American intelligence agents while standing next to a hostile foreign autocrat.
He hired a national security adviser whom he knew had secretly worked as a foreign lobbyist.
He encourages foreign leaders to enrich him and his family by staying at his hotels.
He genuflects to murderous dictators.
He has alienated America’s closest allies.
He lied to the American people about his company’s business dealings in Russia.
He tells new lies virtually every week — about the economy, voter fraud, even the weather.
He spends hours on end watching television and days on end staying at resorts.
He often declines to read briefing books or perform other basic functions of a president’s job.
He has aides, as well as members of his own party in Congress, who mock him behind his back as unfit for office.
He has repeatedly denigrated a deceased United States senator who was a war hero.
He insulted a Gold Star family — the survivors of American troops killed in action.
He described a former first lady, not long after she died, as “nasty.”
He described white supremacists as “some very fine people.”
He told four women of color, all citizens and members of Congress, to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came.”
He made a joke about Pocahontas during a ceremony honoring Native American World War II veterans.
He launched his political career by falsely claiming that the first black president was not really American.
He launched his presidential campaign by describing Mexicans as “rapists.”
He has described women, variously, as “a dog,” “a pig” and “horseface,” as well as “bleeding badly from a facelift” and having “blood coming out of her wherever.”
He waved around his arms, while giving a speech, to ridicule a physically disabled person.
He has encouraged his supporters to commit violence against his political opponents.
He has called for his opponents and critics to be investigated and jailed.
He uses a phrase popular with dictators — “the enemy of the people” — to describe journalists.

I completely agree about this apt and humorous description of Trump. But the idea that the British Public's sensibilities are offended coz we have a better value base is kind of contradictory when our elected PM has all the same characteristics except that he blithers and blathers in an upper class dithering Eton/Oxbridge style. He's also a would be corrupt power crazed bully and a psychopath along with his Cronies.

Klaus, do you know what “Marxism” is? How about Socialism? You didn’t bother to check it out, did you? You just blindly echo the shameless rantings of a man (Trump) who is desperately trying to cling to power, while it becomes more and more obvious to anyone with critical thinking skills that he has lost his mind. And you call BIDEN senile?? Trump is juggling so many lies that he can’t keep them all straight.
Why don’t you let us all know how Biden is trying to please Marxist organizations.

Having been overseas last summer, I can state that not a soul with whom I spoke about anything remotely political has anything nice to say about this man. Unfortunately, we have had to live with 4 years of his presidency. I wish his type on no country in the world, ever. Mr. White has quite eloquently analyzed this man accurately. His roles models are dictators and despots. He is a very evil man. If he were to read my comments, he would revel in them, as he loves the attention. The combination of power, evil and a lack of brains is a dangerous combination. He's got it all. I hope that my fellow Americans will vote on or before November 3 (only once each please, regardless of what Mr. felony suggests we do) and send this man into obscurity. Hopefully, he will be prosecuted and be given a new home. Maybe he can establish his Presidential library in Sing Sing. It would probably only contain comic books anyway.

The Republicans need to take much of the blame for creating this monster and not impeaching him when they had the chance. Trump is only in it for the power and the money he is making off of us taxpayers. A Trump supporter boasted about how he didn't take his salary, and I wanted to say "You stupid ass" He is ripping us off left and right, his salary is pennies compared to what he is making off of us. I do believe Trump supporters are like "Their Chosen One" UNTEACHABLE!

Just saying, as an appalled American, that he was not elected by the majority here--he lost by 3 million votes and then "won" on an outmoded fluke called the "electoral college" which gives outsized influence to a certain segment of the population here. Still, our democracy is truly in jeopardy as we now have a depraved strongman and a complicit amoral party, The Republicans, enabling it. He will literally do anything to win the next election, including mucking with the actual vote and his crony Governors will help him. Our apologies to the world.

In an election, to vote twice is a criminal act? Urging & encouraging people to commit a criminal act is in itself ‘criminal’—-the act of the ‘agent provoceuter’.

And this isn’t the first of his criminal acts, is it ? WHY oh WHY has this crook not been arrested & tried?

I have to agree about his personality described by a socialist British writer. Obama was a much better speaker. But we are voting for what he’s accomplished not his personality.

He has devoted his time to make our country a better place, I remember when he was young--was a playboy like most rich young men. Now he is the leader of our country and is very successful, I don't care what he did years ago. I care what he is doing now. You know where he stands as he gives a lot of speeches.

Trump is absolutely artless, graceless, lacking charm, coolness, subtly, grace or humility.
But the things is, we Americans did not elect Trump because we wanted a graceful example of the best Americans can be. We wanted a blunt tool; a sledgehammer to be brought to bear against a Federal Government many of us think has grown too powerful and is full of too many graceful, charming elitists who are secretly soaking us for all we're worth.
Which is why Trump resonates with so many Americans: precisely because he is the blunt maniac speaking truths most of us only whisper secretly about an elite in our country we have grown to despise--and never really trusted going all the way back to our revolution.
Ann T5 year ago
William, Trump is one of the “elitists who are secretly soaking us all for all we’re worth.” His family benefited hugely from the tax cuts. He is making a fortune from taxpayers with his frequent golf outings to clubs he owns. If you think the federal government has grown too powerful (and I don’t disagree with you there), do you think the Presidency should be made more powerful? That is what Trump is trying to do, and that is truly frightening when you consider what a loose cannon he is. Think about it, please.

Yeah, Trump has been promising that for three years at least. Just like his health care plan, and releasing his taxes when he got elected. He has told over 20,000 documented lies and false information statements since elected, beginning with his inauguration having the largest crowd in history. (How stupid to lie when the whole world could see how wrong he was. That tells you how stupid he thinks his supporters are.) He makes ridiculous and controversial statements and then denies he ever said it! He pretends he has “never met” someone when pictures and videos tell a completely different story! He really must think his followers are idiots.
So, Susan, I won’t hold my breath over any imploding Obama information. Please feel free to share your source with us. It probably came from Trump’s ass, where he pulled the infamous farce of pretending that his associates were returning from Hawaii with scandalous information about Obama’s birth certificate.

Until COVID-19, statistics show best in all figures including economy. Perhaps the strong American Dollar to that of the British pound is what got this authors nickers in a tight wad?
Regardless of the reason, I suggest the British folks who do not like President Trump continue on about their English lives, continue paying high British taxes, and drink plenty of the wonderful pub pints that are available throughout the UK.

How about Trump’s absurd and embarrassing fawning fixation with his “friend” Kim Jong Un? His smarmy “We fell in love” nonsense made me sick to my stomach. Trump went to North Korea to meet with this despot! Are you saying he wasn’t kissing Un’s ass?
How about when Trump stood at a podium in Helsinki, and in front of world leaders, Trump openly supported Putin over US intelligence agencies with regard to election interference? He lied! It has been proven once again that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and is doing it again to help Trump win, and the Senate Republicans are not doing a damn thing about it.
These are just a few examples of how Trump is, indeed, kissing elite asses. He supports anyone who can do something for him, personally.

Many Americans agree but we have chunks of our country educationally left behind. The most vocal seem to be those without experience of attending University. I don't believe only college graduates are smart but I do believe the experience brings people from different places and cultures together and gives one the opportunity to see we are all the same, just people trying to coexist. But, when groups in our country have not been afforded this opportunity they think "others" are the Boogeyman. And it's not only the college experience missing it's also traveling to other states and countries that is missing once again not exposing people to other cultures. I try to remain hopeful for the future but it had become chaotic and fractured.

May be an odd question to ask, but does anyone on these pages feel sorry for Trump? Often, when someone has major personality defects, there is a sense of sympathy for him or her, on the basis that they ar ‘not all there’, & May need moral & other types of support.
This question perhaps applies more to people who profess to be religious.
Perhaps, sorry for him on the basis that when he’s no longer President, there may be numerous legal & criminal authorities waiting to prosecute him
Personally, I do NOT feel at ALL sorry for him, & hope, come the day,he gets ALL he deserves.

That President Trump STILL resonates in some quarters is testimony to how left behind by their own country these citizens still feel, the reason so many voted him in initially. In 2016, Trump tapped into a popular vein of dissatisfaction, a widespread, genuine loathing of the US political circus ("If they're so smart, our friends, how come so many of us live so badly?") combined with highly advanced social freedoms, in many quarters wasted on reactionary, embittered misfits, with LITERALLY, hair-trigger modes of self-expression.
DJT likely sees still himself as an embattled, benevolent, philosopher king, a Marcus Aurelius, not the Nero fiddling while Rome burns that we see. Marcus Aurelius may get a object bitter lessen in 2 months time, seen as more like Idi Amin Dada, a man out of time and out of touch. The internecine US violence under Trump also increasingly resembles Amin's time, when what was good for the noose became good for Uganda. What would Abe Lincoln, Trump's hero, think about that?

A perfect description of this baldy orange sloth. I would give every penny I had for someone to throw a bucket of water over his baldy back combed straws just to let Americans see what little hair he has and that he is desperately trying to portray himself differently. Not only that but he is STUPID!!! Sits up all night reading about himself and twittering away rants. He has no class and apart from money I fail to see why a beautiful woman like his wife stays. She must feel sick like the rest of us women at the thought of his fat paws touching her

A person so lacking in intellect and human decency that is hard to imagine anyone more ridiculous as a countries leader.
His only use in life is to act as the visual image for the definition of "cock womble" or "lowest common denominator".

Sorry that so many Americans have taken this con man at his word! If more supporters of Trump did their own research, especially into his past, they would see who he really is. He is the modern day Music Man!! His bravado as a TV personality spilled over into the US government bringing it to a world low. America will never live without the scars of this period.

The orange man is a result of white grievance re changing demographics and resentment of “coastal elites” (i.e., people with college degrees). Also the 18th century Electoral College, a concession to less populated states (southern and slave holding). A perfect storm.

When confronted Trump always looks for someone or something to hide behind .

Ruth Day, are you that blind? You blame everything on President Trump. President Trump been in office 3 and half years, fighting the corrupt Democratic Socialists Party. Obama was elected President twice and what did he do? Went around the world apologizing to countries, for what? Obama set us back 50yrs in race relations and the weaponized his intelligence agencies to spy on a opposition political campaign.
Communist are trying to take over the world and liberals are on their knees asking for forgiveness.
America, for about 250 yrs., has a constitution that helps govern the country and the liberals
with the help of the Marxists BLM and ANTIFA groups are trying to destroy our constitution. Conservatives are trying to protect the constitution and the country from communist.

What in the world are you babbling on about? Your sadly skewed ramblings are straight out of Trump’s Lie/Blame/Deflect Playbook, which you slavishly pass on to others like yourself, who blindly believe that Donald Trump is some innocent victim simply because Trump SAYS he is!
What did Obama accomplish? If you would take your nose out of Trump’s rear end, you would find out just how much he got done, with NO help whatsoever from idiots like Mitch McConnell and the Tea Party. Obama gave millions of us Universal Health Care, so that we don’t LOSE OUR HOMES if we get seriously ill. Trump is still trying to take that away from us, while promising a new plan that he hasn’t delivered on. He told Chris Wallace many weeks ago that it would be unveiled in two weeks. Another Trump lie.
Trump is desperately and repeatedly trying to take credit for the VA Health Care Act, which was passed in 2014. Trump is still telling this lie!
Obama inherited the worst recession since the 1930’s and turned it around. Obama bailed out the auto industry and turned them around. He passed bills to save our environment for air and water pollution, which Trump has revoked. Obama had NO personal scandals to mar his record, while Trump has had one unlawful act after another. Those are facts, not fake news, as Trump claims each and every time that someone speaks out or stands up against him. Only fools would believe that crap.
Trump is trying to SAVE our Constitution? How? By rewriting it so that he can do whatever the hell he wants to do? You are getting your news straight out of Trump’s ass, which is why you are so desperate to believe Trump’s absurd “Obamagate.” So, where is this scandal? Where are the facts? Trump has spouted this bullshit for months now. All he has to do is start a lie, and you believe it and pass it on. Deplorable.

This writer is hilarious! His description of Trump is so true, pitifully true! I can’t stand Trump and his administration! He has divided the American people and condemns protesters! The people causing problems are Trumper’s, they want it to look like the protesters are the ones doing it! And Trump just eggs it on when he talks or tweets about protesters being thugs! He’s the biggest thug! And all of the racial unrest, increase in crime and violence is happening on Trump’s watch!! Joe Biden will heal this country!
He can’t read from his teleprompters or pronounce words or names correctly! No wonder he paid someone to take his SAT!! He wouldn’t have been admitted in to college if he had not done that! I’m glad the college is investigating it!
A lot of Americans are doing their best to get rid of him come November 3rd! He is truly the worst president in the history of the United States! He’s the one who hates democracy! He is a dictator and is ruining this country! He won’t do or say anything about Putin (he probably owes him a lot of money!) and what the Russians are doing to our troops! But today he campaigned in front of a battle ship and service men! He has no conscience!
He’s the reason why we have lost over 186,000 Americans! And he says “It is what it is”! And of course he takes no responsibility!
I hope he is prosecuted for all the crap he has done and for the lives lost after he loses the election! And speaking of the election, I saw an ad by Trump’s campaign and it said “request your ballot early”!! I tried to post it to CNN’s Facebook page but I don’t know if it posted. But I will post it to my page and keep trying to get it to CNN.

And yet, about 40% of Americans support him. The British writer doesn't venture as to why ... but we know.

I have never seen a President act like a 12 year old, flinging childish insults at dignitaries and colleagues and Tweeting like a preteen adolescent. He does not speak with eloquence and does not remind me of anyone graduating from an Ivey League college or even from high school for that matter. He sounds like he dropped out of school at the 3rd grade level. He repeats himself like he has some form of dementia and cannot answer questions from reporters with anything other than insults, defending himself or saying, “we’re doing GREAT”. We are NOT doing great. The country is in a recession, people are dying from COVID, joblessness is soaring, people are losing their homes and cannot afford essentials like food, people are rioting, looting and killing each other......but yes, we are doing “great”.

FOX News Channel (FNC) has been the most watched television news channel for 18 consecutive years. We had the best economy ever. The corrupt Democrats (Hillary Clinton) paid for a fake dossier, that the Obama administration used to spy on the Trump campaign. Then the corrupt Democrats tried impeachment for Quid Pro Quo that didn't exist, but Biden bragged about his Quid Pro Quo hold back a billion dollars from Ukraine if they didn't fire the prosecutor that was investigating the Russian corruption in the company that Joe Biden son, Hunter Biden, was on the board of directors. The lowest unemployment rates ever, the economy soaring but the corrupt Democrats and the Deep State called on the buddy China, who by the way doesn't like Trump either, to help. China released a deadly virus on the world to destroy the American economy. Trump was advised to shut down the country and try to fight this virus. Now President Trump has asked all the states to open back up. But the corrupt Democrats refuse to open their states back up, thinking it will hurt Trump in reelection. Well that's not working for the corrupt Democrats, because now we have a better economy with record breaking stockmarkets. Just wait till the rest of states open up and everyone will be back at work.
China (CCP) and the corrupt Democrats released the virus and don't care how people die, to them its just collateral damage, anything to get Trump out of the White House. Not happening!

The USA is a Republic not a democracy. The Electoral college was established specifically to prevent heavily populated States (read urban: California, New York, Illinois, etc.) from preventing smaller rural States (read North and South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana) from being given a somewhat equal representation during an election. To do away with the Electoral College would be to fulfill Aristotle's prediction "Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms.

That’s hard to super when we’ve gone directly
From the ‘republic’ to the ‘despotism’ under Trump with not only 1) no opportunity to try
what we would call ‘direct democracy’, and 2) the chance that we will have a ‘free and fair’ election deeply in doubt.

The Electoral College, established in 1787, gave power to the slave states, and most specifically to Virginia as they counted each slave as one part of a vote. The smaller population states were still one of the original 13 states. Madison, from Virginia, and others cobbled this idea together in 1787. Learn when states were admitted to the union and why. Read your U S history, Margaret Vaughan!

DONALD TRUMP TOLD HIS FIRST JOKE AT THE
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
Not many persons have heard President Trump
tell a joke. Perhaps, no one on earth has ever
heard Trump tell a joke. Does he possess a sense
of humor? Of course, he does. Below is Donald
Trump’s favorite joke. It was told to him by his
beloved father Fred after they had just turned
down a black couple’s application to rent an
apartment in a Trump owned building.
When the young Donald, fresh from persuading a
friend to take his SAT’s for him, first heard it,
he laughed so loud that tears filled his eyes, then he
collapsed into a chair, gasping for breath.
Here is the joke:
Franklin Delano Roosevelt walked into a bar and said:
“Human kindness has never weakened the stamina
or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation
does not have to be cruel in order to be tough.”
Much laughter resounded throughout Trump's America.

Putin found his "useful idiot" and we are all paying the price. The saddest part for many of us is realizing how many of our neighbors know who he is and support him anyway. We are very concerned Russia will hack the voting machines and steal the election. He is such an embarrassment. Hopefully, Biden will win by a very
large margin and we can get our country back.Thank you for your support.
Ann T5 year ago
I am also concerned about Russian hacking, which is why I will fill out a vote-by-mail ballot and deliver it directly to the Board of Elections. I’m not taking any chances!
In the meantime, your Congressional representatives’ names, email addresses, and telephone numbers are easily found in a Google search. Let them know how you feel about the Senate’s lack of concern for election security, as well as the convenient (sarcasm) disruption to the postal service.

As an American I agree whole heartedly with this description. Please do not think all Americans admire Trump. He is an international embarrassment and it blows our minds he gets away with everything he says and does. He did not win the popular vote... the electoral college failed us miserably.

He is the embodiment of the "Ugly American" to the point of being a cartoon. It is mortifying to have him represent our country the way he does. And many of us, like you, cannot understand how his supporters don't see what we do, a bully who is also a coward. A man child who has mantrums when he is denied his way and a national embarrassment on the world stage.

Nothing has been normal here in the U.S. since Election Day 2016 and I quite honestly fear for the future. Too many people in the U.S. do not recognize evil when it's staring them straight in the face. It's shocking as most of the Trump supporters consider themselves to be "good Christians." This is what elevating money and celebrity above education and caring about others will get you.

I am totally embarrassed that Trump is my President. The trouble is there are a lot of people just like him. Mostly white barely middle class frumpy mean people that will never apply for a passport. Small minded bigoted Sots. These types will vote for him.
Our other candidate is a Corporate Schill. Really not much better than Trump. At least he has got more class. But again we are back to voting for the lesser of two evils.
Your foppy mop head of a PM isn’t so great either.

Yes, our (I’m a Brit) floppy mop head of a PM isn’t much better either! He’s Trump with a bit more class, & a bit more charm, & with a sense of humour. But he is ‘all style & no substance’, & all bluster. Like Trump, a serial liar, an adulterer, and a racist & a sexist pig—-except when he abuses his ‘natural enemies’ (women & members of ethnic minorities), he uses flowery language to do so—-you see, he has a natural advantage—-he attended the UK’s premier school, Eton College!

Somehow you missed mentioning the inordinate amount of time (and taxpayer money) he spends flying the 747 around the country--with his motorcade, entourage and secret service --to play golf. See---> https://trumpgolfcount.com/ for a good laugh. Or cry.
If the "stable genius" ex game show host was running for any other office (dog catcher, senator, congressman, hall monitor etc.) he would have lost. Bigly. But here in the U.S., we have the electoral college to elect the president. Only. The red states --we call them fly-over states--the ones with more cows, pigs and goats than voters are able to change the dynamics of the presidential election and send the popular vote LOSER (by over 3,000,000 votes)to the white house. Ironic, isn't it? Then we're stuck with Cadet Bone Spurs and his Republican toadys for 4 God-forsaken years.

Thank you for your article and for articulating so clearly. I only wish other Americans, like myself, could just look at him for what he is. Unfortunately, his coalition is comprised of the most unlikely of bedfellows: the uneducated, poor, with no global reference of collaboration and assistance. On the other side, higher percentage members of America's white wealthy, highly educated, and indulged "aristocracy" hiding their money and holding on to what power was given to them by previous generations. At least the Vanderbilts, Mellons, Carnegie, and other families were willing to pretend to give back with museums, libraries, universities, endowments, and concert halls.

Dear Nate,
You have hit the fat white slug, er nail on the head!!! MOST friends and acquaintances see him at the very least as you describe, cannot believe that he remains standing as our president, and ride a seasick wave of despair and prayer. When a sprinkle or two STILL admit to supporting him, it is impossible not to begin privately questioning. Among that significant minority of supporters that you reference would be those who personally benefit from the power of his office, who are sophomorically entertained by him, who are either incapable of or refuse to see the truth of him, and who thereby are simply allowing themselves to be hoodwinked by him. Praying hard for a change with the elections and for the process to not (again?) be corrupted.

Has Trump made the world a worse place? I think not. Perhaps he was elected because he mirrored the society we have become. A man for the times. Doesn't this put the onus on us?
Nancy5 year ago
Only if America re-elects him. His time in office certainly has given the worst underbelly of America the chance to crawl out from under the rocks and to bask in plain sight. Maybe one term was necessary - you can't get rid of vermin when they're underground. Exposed and "out" now, it's time for change and fumigation of the cold, hard nastiness that he both represents and promulgates. If it makes you feel better, there are many Americans who don't get those who support him, either. He is bringing the country to the brink of its Second Civil War - one equally divisive in its ideologies, pitting family members against family members, splitting apart communities, and doing irreparable damage to a country that apparently was more ill than anyone ever suspected, even amongst those communities of color that knew it surely still wasn't good.

There is no doubt that Trump is a most unpleasant man, but beware of what you wish for, the alternative could have even worse results.
There are some very worrying developments currently happening in many American cities and these things cannot realistically be blamed on Trump.
If Joe Biden & Co. win the next election do you really think that the rioting, looting and burning will stop.
Will the left leaning Biden have the wherewithal to put an end to the current madness in your wonderful country, I personally doubt it very much.

First, the whole country is not the headlines you see. The madness is worldwide. Stoked by ignorance, racism, xenophobia, homo/transphobia and General I don’t understand humansaphobia, because I to am a troll looking for a troll king world of madness. So no Biden and Co won’t fix this alone but he certainly will not elevate the dregs of humanity to positions of reverence.
AHMET NUR TASPINAR5 year ago
The riots are an ugly way a disenfranchised group of citizens are trying to express their frustrations. If Biden is elected the frustration will ease because Joe will not tolerate police brutality on anyone, and those ugly riots will cease. Which way a president leans is of no importance as long as she/he upholds the rule of law and stands equally close to all racial, religious and ethnic groups. There are times the country needs to lean to the right and other times when the need is to lean left. A president should make all citizens feel safe and valuable; that's what they swear to when they take the oath of office.
Nancy5 year ago
Biden is actually a centrist Democrat, not left-leaning. The situation in America IS directly on Trump. He promotes racism and incites violence (too many of his tweets to even begin to copy here). He WANTS riots in the streets, because his new campaign strategy is to promote himself as the "law and order President." Classic Trump - create the chaos, then claim to be the savior (yes, some evangelical groups have proclaimed he was 'chosen by God' to lead the country!) to fix the problem. Why focus on THIS issue? Because the US is closing in on 200,000 dead - read that number again - from COVID and the economy, which was always his ace card, is in the toilet. You really think that all of the violent protesters and rioters are for Biden? Do you know that months ago a group of men with membership in a White Supremist group was arrested in Arizona on the way to a "peaceful protest," to cause chaos and mayhem so that the Black Lives Matter Movement and protesters could then be demonized and characterized as Trump just did at the Republican National Convention? It was the centerpiece of the whole thing - putting aside he violated the federal Hatch Act that prohibits any federal employee from conducting political events on government grounds and DT gave his acceptance speech FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. He is dangerous not only because he ignores the law, and undermines the very principles of democracy on which the US was founded (our fundamental principles of balance of power, separation of church and state, and outright voter suppression via dismantling the U.S. Postal Service immediately spring to mind), but because no one is holding him accountable. He doesn't know he isn't a king, or a dictator, because so far he has been able to do whatever he wants without any repercussions - people are so afraid of him, they don't dare say anything because they are immediately fired, slandered, and publicly ruined. Do you know how many high visibility Republicans have publicly voiced their support for Biden? HUNDREDS, including Republican Governors, Senators, US Representatives, as well as staff and administration officials from Pres. Bush (the "43 Alumni for Biden", the "Lincoln Project," Sen. John McCain, and members of Trump's Administration. Do you know how many Democratic politicians and/or administrators under Pres. Obama have come out publicly in support of Trump? ZERO. What America needs before policy is character. Will a President Biden help with that? Re-establish leadership and honor to the Office of the President? You bet - I'd put a devout Catholic whose faith got him through the death of his wife and infant, as well as his grown son, before a man using members of the Armed Forces against its own citizenry, firing tear gas and bullets into a peaceful protest authorized under the U.S. Constitution, so he could have a photo op HOLDING THE BIBLE UPSIDE DOWN in front of a church he never attends, any day of the week. Truly, as bad as the English see it, and I agree totally with this article (obviously), try to imagine DT is one hundred fold worse in reality than what you see.

Trump is fanning the flames of division every time he opens his mouth. Self expression is human nature, regardless of who you are. The kind of changes needed to stop violence and hatred among people requires exemplary leadership that will not condone slavery, misogyny, injustice or abusive treatment of other people. The oppressed will not accept any suggestions which advocate their further abuse. At least Biden is willing to listen objectively while Trump is in denial that continuing the same behaviors of the past will result in the same outcomes.

The documented lies that Trump himself told have been widely exposed by documented FACTS. Lie after lie after lie, because fear-mongering to the gullible folks like yourself is the way he thinks he can win, along with blatant cheating (putting a big donor in place as Postmaster General to screw up the mail) and Russian interference - again. All the terrible things these GOP morons predict will happen if Biden is elected are already happening on TRUMP’S watch. It’s a mess HE has created!

Ann T5 year ago
Ross, it seems to me that your adjective is best suited for the Donald Trump himself. Repulsive sexual comments about both his daughters? DEGENERATE. Bragging about catching teenage pageant contestants undressed in a dressing room? DEGENERATE. Bragging that he can do “anything I want” and grabbing women by the p***y?” DEGENERATE. The list goes on and on. He’s a creep and a sexual predator.
The “liberal effetes” that you speak of here are those who have the critical thinking skills necessary to know when someone is constantly lying, as Trump does every time he opens his mouth. Educate yourself. Stop being a pawn for Donald Trump.

You missed "evil." Trump is evil itself. When Sir Richard Branson had lunch with Trump several years ago he came away realizing he had met the most vindictive man in history. He felt Trump would go to the ends of the earth to get revenge for any slight. BTW, do not mistake what happened in our election in 2016 as anything but a fluke, a momentary black hole; a perfect storm of idiocy. In our world enough people identified a name from a reality show, enough people weren't ready for Bill and Hillary II, and enough people are not getting much of an education in civics. That will not happen again.

So very eloquent!!! I keep trying to explain to people in the US why I dislike the man so intensely. You have spelled it out for me. As a Canadian (who loves British humour - Yay Two Ronnies!) I have a similar sense of correctness. This man embodies the worst of humankind, and I have never seen why anyone could see him as anything other than, as you put it, a troll.

So true. So true. I still cannot fathom how so many people follow him. I especially liked the "fat white slug" part. My friend and I had been on a trip to England in 2015 and were in a car taking us to the airport to fly back to the states. The driver asked us what did we think of Trump (I call him 45) running for office? We laughed and said "no way !" Boy were we wrong. Please pray for us. Pray that Joe Biden wins. Pray that he at least will get this virus under control. I want to come back to England. So many of us love Great Britain and 45 has taken our freedoms away by not doing a darn thing. Anyway, everyone stay safe.

Beautifully written. As an American, most of us think he is a Shitstain on the Underpants of Society. As someone who has worked in Psychiatry for almost 40 years—Yes, he is a Malignant Narcissist: sociopathic, narcissistic, paranoid and sadistic—4 of the worst psychological characteristics a human being (for Trump I use that term loosely) can have. Thank you for your emotional support, but can you send troops?

Not to be unkind to those on the asbergers/autistic scale, it strikes me watching him, he could be a candidate to join them.

I add to so many of the responses --- " Completely accurate!!"
In my view he totally lacks the ability to be a rational, reasoning, compassionate HUMAN BEING. --- qualities that Obama, displayed continuously while never showing to be 'weak' when the situation required. -- with him heading the most powerful country in the western world, forgetting party politics, we felt pretty secure.
As a near 80 year old Brit, having lived and worked in UK, Europe, India and Asia with, I like to think , reasonable international thinking -- I am astounded how America, a country of some highly intelligent world leading people manages to vote in a leader who terrifies the hell out of the rest of the world ! Lets hope that November produces someone with a balanced brain to lead the World!!
Ashley5 year ago
As an American who didn’t vote for Trump and who doesn’t identify with the grievances of his “base” of supporters. I think the hardest thing for me to accept wasn’t that he had become our president despite receiving 3 million less votes than Hillary Clinton. It was that so many of my fellow Americans had voted for him enthusiastically and thought he was the best person to lead our country in a vast sea of highly qualified political leaders they could have chosen instead. See, presidents come and go. Their terms last only 4 years. But the people who voted for him are here to stay and they are who the rest of us have to live amongst. That was a hard pill to swallow because it meant that I didn’t truly know my country or fellow citizens at all come to find out.

Fredric Schorr5 year ago
In a word, spot on. Trump is the living repository of all that America has had difficulty facing up to. We once were a shining end product of Great Britain's Glorious Revolution, the reminder in the late eighteenth century, that ultimate authority must reside in the people, and flow from the people. But the demagogic populism was always lurking past the shadows of Washington, Franklin and the other founders, always waiting for its moment. Events conspired to create that moment in 2016. I choose to believe that a majority of Americans are currently in agony, and that that majority still has the will and the means to do something about it very soon. Should the corrective come this November, we will have the devil of a time cleaning up the mess, including relations with our true allies. Pray that the Anglo-American alliance and bond may survive and transcend the current nightmare. Some of us do have a sense of humor, but this is no joke.
Michael5 year ago
I agree with everything you said, however you are leaving out devious and manipulative. He speaks to his base. They are people who are afraid of losing power, and he represents their fears. He has not accomplished anything substantive in government, but the only thing his followers want are lower taxes and conservative judges. He has accomplished both, per his base. The Christian Right thinks that God listens to Trump. It is maddening.

What bothers me is how the majority of Americans, or his so called ardent followers, do not see him for who and what he is. He claimed to have built stronger economy than Obama. But Trump built on the foundation Obama made while the latter built the economy from nothing. He is just a scammer and nothing more or less.

We are watching a takeover of our government by the worst elements of our society. The system is designed to be self-correcting, and clearly the Founders slipped up- or they didn't plan for a President who embodies the very worst aspects of human nature. If he was a dog, he would be put down.

Your article is so spot on! I wish the Trump supporters here in the US would read your article and wake up and understand that he is a horrible leader and a despicable human being. Those of us with common sense in the US just can’t comprehend why the Trump Sheep believe he can do no wrong. It is an embarrassment as an American to see how other countries view the man who is supposed to be leading the US. If anyone out there is reading this, Please Pray for the US and that Trump loses the election in November. He is killing way too many Americans with his mishandling of the pandemic. He is going to claim the election a fraud, if he loses and it’s going to end up in a battle to get him out of office. We will need all the prayers we can get.

You are suffering, sir, from a pathological sickness and it is called hatred. I have never read so much abusive junk. No use pointing out your errors, they would not penetrate your malevolent mind. And how dare you malign our American President in such a loathsome way. Where is YOUR class? Where is YOUR fairness? Where is YOUR sensitivity? Perhaps you think you are funny. How sad! I was born in Britain and I am ashamed that this odious talk came from a citizen of Britain. However, I shall not call you names as that would be descending to your despicable level. But here is a little bit of advice....see a psychiatrist.

Every word was accurate. Just open your eyes and mind and look at the man, his history, his attitude. You were born in Britain? Did you leave your common sense behind when you climbed aboard the flight. I hope you do not still have the vote in England if you are such a bad judge of people in power.
Ann T5 year ago
J. Lunn, you forgot your “sarcasm” tag. Or were you actually being serious?
If you’ve “never read such abusive junk,” then clearly you are blissfully unaware of Trump’s deplorable, childish, name-calling Twitter feed, or his carnival-barking lies, rants, and insanity that he spews at his rallies. TRUMP maligns anyone who doesn’t kiss his arse, and labels EVERYTHING that he doesn’t want his base to know as “fake news.” Well, J. Lunn, Trump is the king of fake news, and he is making fools of those who think he actually cares about them.
So, I’m hoping you meant to use a sarcasm symbol after your post, which I will demonstrate for you:
Trump is a caring, intelligent man who cares deeply about all Americans, affordable health care, the environment, and is a deeply religious man. /s
See what I did there? My last sentence was sarcasm.

I have acquaintances whom I consider quite bright in many areas who still follow him. For the life I me I can’t figure out why but there it is. Thank you for your superlative diagnosis of Trump.

A radicalized people will back someone who doesn't share their values--in fact, there is an unspoken agreement between Trump and his followers for each to be as outrageous as possible, as a matter of advancing the cause. A third of America is actually that radical, at this point. I feel like I'm living on an island, here in Madison, Wisconsin, and while I won't say that it's particularly unsafe out there (for a white man, anyway), it is certainly depressing.

There are prerequisites that must be met before anyone can begin to compete for my vote.

What's really ridiculous is that the majority vote is NOT what elects a president, the Electoral College does. That's why gerrymandering is such an important issue.
To answer your voting question - I will be voting for Biden because I believe he will be better for the country. Additionally, I believe he will be seeking input from each one of his valuable resources beginning with his wife (love her so far!) and including former President Barack Obama and his brilliant wife.

Tom Wilson5 year ago
Trump voters voted for Trump because Obama was black. Speaking as an Eisenhower Republican, Obama's administration was about as constructive as I could desire, given Moscow Mitch's obstructionism and deliberate constitutional sabotage. Trump commited treason with his Moscow partners in the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant to get elected. The Republicans who voted to "aquit" are now complicit in his treason. Even John LeCarre recognized this transnational criminal agenda in his novel "Agent Running in the Field": "Jericho" represents the Manafort-Bannon-Boris connection. As for keeping his promises, his COVID-19 response reflects his career of absolute operational incompetence, which was not a feature of Obama's administration.
George Tixan5 year ago
Opinion piece. Plenty of them out there. The real question to those US voters who hate Trump: Will you be voting for Biden simply because you hate Trump, or because Biden is the better candidate for your country? And if so, why? Trump wasn't elected because the voters wanted a nice guy. They voted because they thought the previous President did a lousy job and they wanted a change. Love Trump or hate him, he kept his promises, and delivered an economy and results that are the envy of the rest of the world. Also, if I were voting I wouldn't vote for someone who has obvious signs of senility. And we all see it.

Trump takes Sharpie markers to serious weather maps to try and back up his own misinformation. Trump takes credit for President Obama’s term highlights, even though we can all see that he is lying. What sane person does that?
And now we have the CONFIRMATION that Russia was heavily involved with Trump’s campaign, which Trump has repeatedly called “Fake News” and a “hoax.” What sane person continues to deny information that has been released by a bipartisan congressional committee?
And what sane person continues to make a fool of himself by supporting a lying, cheating, unstable, ignorant pig of a man like Donald Trump? That question is for YOU, George.

Fact: Mexico IS paying for the wall. The USMCA is doing that. Fact: 170,000 Lives lost - due to the pandemic that originated from China. Trump closed the borders days after the first USA case was discovered, and acted immediately with science & med experts to task it. Fact: Given Biden's evidence of cognitive decline, he needs to take a cognitive test. That would put that issue to rest once and for all. I am a Brit looking at things objectively, from the outside, not from a place fueled by hatred of someone that has nothing to do with my life.

Fact: Trump took a cognitive test and Aced it. Fact: No further conclusion of Russian collusion. If you have the proof, share it please. The "fake news" gang surely hasn't. To answer your question, which is strictly opinionated, with one of my own: I do not view Trump's manner of communication and executive management as making a fool of oneself. It is that of a successful business person. Here's a question: Why is he a billionaire and you're not? For anyone here to be taken more seriously, they should kindly and calmly support their contentions with facts instead of mere name-calling and emotional whining.
Ann T5 year ago
Whoop-dee-do! Did you see the cognitive test? Chris Wallace interviewed him about the cognitive test. He thought the last four questions were hard. He thought there were 35 questions, but there are only 30! And how do we know he was telling the truth about “acing” the test? He lies CONSTANTLY.
No further evidence of Russian Collusion? Have you read all the national news sites? Shame on you for parroting Trump’s idiotic “fake news” garbage. You must be living in a Fox News cave. Educate yourself!
Hmmm... why is Trump a billionaire? How do you know he is? He SAYS he is, but is desperate to keep his tax returns. But you are probably right about being a billionaire; look how much money he is making off the American taxpayers alone! He makes big bucks every time he takes a frequent vacation at any of his golf courses. How many bankruptcies has he had? Six? He has screwed investors at every opportunity. Trump University? Fake. Come on, George... take your head out of the Swamp. Take your own advice. Let’s see some facts.

Fact: Mexico is NOT paying for the wall or the USMCA. See the July 15, 2020 online article on PolitiFact. You are just regurgitating Trump’s Wish List of Lies that he SAYS is happening but is, in fact, FAKE NEWS. Congratulations, George.

In response to "Peter of London," I agree wholeheartedly in his opinion that "Trump is a despicable human." I am an American, however. An American who loves the UK. But despite that love, as an American I disagree wholeheartedly with Peter's plea "that it is essential that Trump is re-elected." In fact, I believe that not only shouldn't he be re-elected, he should head a complete ticket that goes down in flames...the "blue tsunami" many of us are hoping for. Regarding Peter's statement Trump "promised the U.K. an extremely rosy future" with respect to economic ties, what exactly has Trump promised and delivered. Remember his inaugural address: "This American carnage stops right here and stops right now. We are one nation — and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.” Three years later, amid a global pandemic, record unemployment, and violent uprisings against racist police violence, “American carnage” sounds a lot more reality-based. Trump has only made things worse.

The US is the world’s slot machine. Wall Street wealth and the lobbyist party control how all this works. But as far as a Trump goes, meaning all of them, it’s not going to end pretty for him. The emperor has no clothes. He is the elebafoon in the room. He is that uncle who comes for the holidays and paws all the women. Lots of GOP are just being loyal and they vomit afterward.

Whilst I agree that Trump is a despicable human, for the sake of the U.K., (and I am a Brit), it is essential that Trump is re elected. Rightly or wrongly, the U.K. has now left the EU, & is virtually basing its entire future on having strong economic ties with the USA—-and Trump, & NOT the Democrats, has promised the U.K. an extremely rosy future in this respect.
I appreciate that my post is ‘U.K. biased & parochial’, but for the U.K. to now prosper outside the EU, Trump, obnoxious as he is, simply HAS to win come November. A Democrat win could result in Biden telling the U.K., “You are now at the back of the queue”—-essentially a repeat of what Obama had said just before the EU Referendum of 2016.
What then for the U.K.?
But a great article, & one that quite brilliantly maligns the ‘orange man’, & justifiably at that!
Any other Brits on these pages agree with my views on why, for the sake of the UK’s future, Trump (sadly), HAS to win?

MJH you might want to do some actual fact checking before posting. Trump doesn't do ANYTHING unless it benefits him or he thinks it will benefit him.
Flat tire incident never happened. Fact.
Rather than helping the USMC Sgt he jeopardized his safety by Tweeting inflammatory remarks about the Mexican Gov.
Trump did fly a sick child to hospital ... 27yrs ago ... and the parents of the now deceased child are now under investigation ....
The Tens’ story took an additional turn in August 2014 when the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, charged Harold Ten with participating in a scheme that “allowed a ring of brokers, investment advisers and their clients to profit from the deaths of terminally ill patients.”
According to the SEC, Ten allegedly used his position as president of Bikur Cholim, a nonprofit providing hospitalized patients with kosher meals and free loans of medical equipment, to help Michael A. Horowitz, a Los-Angeles-based broker, identify, meet with and obtain personal information from terminally ill Jews.
The SEC said Horowitz’s investor clients bought annuities, a form of insurance or investment that has an annual payout to a specified beneficiary, which named terminally ill patients as annuitants. This way, the investors collected the death benefit payout quickly and received sizable profits at the expense of the insurance company.
Pretty typical of Trump's associates.
Trump doesn't do 'random acts of kindness' ... He has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honor and no grace. There have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.
He needs to go!

On the 14th of June, 1946 a baby boy is born in the Jamaica district of Queens, NY.
In 1995, his car has a flat tire. A black man walking by notices it's owner is wearing a suit. So he steps in and fixes the flat. "How can I repay you?" asks the gentleman? "My wife has always wanted some flowers" the man says. A few days later, the black man's wife gets a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a note saying, "Thanks for helping me. By the way... the mortgage on your house is paid off."
A USMC Sargent spends 7 months in a Mexican prison for a minor charge. He is beaten. After he is returned to America, The man from Queens sends him a check for $25,000, "To get you started."
A black bus driver saves a suicidal girl from jumping off a bridge. Our man from Queens sends him a check for $10,000.
A rabbi's critically ill son needs to get from NYC to California for specialty care. No airlines will fly him. The generous man uses his private jet to fly the child.

Neer we forget Trump's pathological lying and how he meets by definition that of a 'sociopath'. I am 78 and an Independent for over thirty years. I began my voting briefly as a Republican. I quickly changed to Democrat only to find they had much in common in their delivery and that my beliefs tended to lean more towards Democratic. In short order, I began to find my appreciation for this country and the sacrifices of our founding fathers and the wisdom expressed within our Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights along with seeing so many young, brave men willing to sacrifice their very lives to protect our freedoms and way of life, to have a much greater influence on me than my blasé reception of high school Social Studies. Wth my newly kindled awareness as to how fortunate I was to live in this country, I winced when various social issues did not merge with the teachings of our forefathers or explain why so many were willing to sacrifice their lives in order to maintain our freedoms and way of life. I began to study my country's evolution with a new found interest and where I learned that both George Washington and John Adams warned us of the dangers of a two-party system, a warning that I saw growing with each election. Ergo, I became an Independent. Therefore, I have never agreed with with either party 100%. However, I never thought in my wildest imagination that I would see the warnings predicted by George Washington and John Adams come to fruition with the 2016 election. I couldn't begin to envision ANYONE from this country who could read or write or who truly loved and respected our country voting for a flagrant liar, bully, bigot, xenophobe, misogynist, cheat or braggart. Congratulations Nate! You nailed it!

Milt deReyna5 year ago
I'm sure it poses a problem for you British to understand. But here is the truth. Trump is NOT an anomaly. He is absolutely the result of Republican descent into insanity since Reagan showed up on the scene, and if it hadn't been Trump, it would have been somebody else just like him. Always remember that beneath the astonishing bullying and foulness of the man, every thing he's done since assuming the office is to satisfy Republican fever dreams that have existed since 1980. This is not exactly a conspiracy, but more a convergence of ideas. Many things have produced this; the flipping of the South since the Civil Rights Act by Johnson in 1964, to Republican. The marriage of Conservative ideas on abortion with big religion, and especially, Evangelism. Along with that, the demonizing of Liberals, (baby killers). The over-riding dogma doesn't work without Racism, and the "owning" of Liberals. Hate drives it. And finally, Democrats still think, (Joe Biden) that you can "reach across the aisle" and obtain compromise with Republicans, while Republicans have been conducting an Existentialist war on Democrats. Republicans understand that they are outnumbered and that there will come a day when Latinos and African-Americans will outnumber us white people. And so you have the blatant gerrymandering and voter suppression, which the Republicans have openly given up trying to hide. Trump is the perfect symbol of 40 years of conservative insanity.

These plus his inability not to lie about everything it very likely he is the antiChrist. (Well I am Jewish and don’t actually believe in such a thing). But for you believing Christians, please don’t vote the antiChrist.

Phoebe Grigg5 year ago
I love this - thank you! Unfortunately, there is still a possibility that Trump could be re-elected in November. This is because:
a) the U.S. has the electoral college, which weights the number of votes awarded to more rural areas of the country;
b) although I agree 100% with the writer, we have a strain of anti-intellectualism in our country that baffles me. I think there is a distrust of expertise, as if everything is relative, and what experts say is just a form of oppression. This is how the idea of "fake news" can take root without examination of what is true and what isn't.
c) there is actual pain in people who have been "left behind" by the current digital and global economy, and this pain has been exploited by people like Trump who throw the blame on anything and everything rather than institute long-term policies that are slow to work and so those hurting jump for the quick fix. In actuality, the oligarchs of our culture are draining the money out of our system and the middle class is shrinking daily. Trump supporters continue to believe him and vote against their own interests. It is terrifying.

As an American, and republican, your 5 min of fame is spot on. When a decent “human” that’s a Democrat eventually wins, today’s fake republican can’t complain when the tides turn when he or she acts exactly the same. A day will eventually come and by then, we’ll be the idiot nation (we’re actually already there). We’ve lost all credibility and his only real credibility left is with the “white, no education, idiots.” Yes, he has a few others that have much more education but they’re an absolutely minority (or have zero clue as to their own stupidity). His most famous words I’ll always remember by ... “I love the uneducated”! A nation where 1/3 can’t read at the 8th grade level and another 20% can’t point to a map showing their own state capital city basically translate to the idiocy of our nation. Ironically, those are mostly his base. The same individualS who’d beat their kids if their kids acted like this snowflake or talked like him and yet, they’ll condone it from our reality show loser. As a 30 yr vet, I’m glad that 59% of my fellow vets won’t even consider voting for him (as even reported by the cult messiah Fox News). This true republican, a Reagan Republican, has switched parties. For the fake patriots out there..... keep boring me until you have the guts to serve your nation (even as a cook).

Trump will win in 2020 and will be remembered as the best President in US History. Most of the leaders of the world can only wish they could be half the man and leader president Trump is...the left in their slathering hopes to try to find something wrong with him have found nothing, though they have tried and failed over and over..now we watch as the likes of your Prince Andrew and former President Clinton get taken down in the largest pedophile, child sex slavery scandle of our times, all allowed to go on while the loonie left cover the fact that Trump likes hamburgers in the news...yeah this writter can have his 5 mins of fame..he is a hack looking for attention in the ever whithering bowels of journalism...you are just another piece of shit to be flushed after a good wipe.

1. “best President in US history”? Only in Trump’s mind. History will show him as the most Corrupt President in US history.
2. “found nothing” wrong with him? Are you insane? Not even the Supreme Court is protecting him. You would have to be living under a rock, or living in Trump’s swamp, to believe that he isn’t facing a world of legal trouble for all his shady dealings. Fighting tooth and nail to keep his taxes a secret should be a clear sign that this guy has a lot to hide.
3. “largest pedophile, child sex slavery scandal of our times.” Do you mean the Jeffrey Epstein scandal? Trump’s buddy Epstein? The Epstein with whom Trump has been photographed many times? You really are getting your news with your Trump filters on, DF. He is making you look very foolish for defending him.

I don’t think Boris Johnson is even half as bad as tRump. He doesn’t lead his country into a false sense of security or promise us things he can’t deliver. Boris hasn’t done anything to deliberately hurt or upset people. It’s going to happen, as that’s what it’s like with politicians. But he wouldn’t do it on purpose. tRump would.
Solomom5 year ago
As a Brit, I agree with you. Boris is a ‘poor man’s Trump’, or a ’thinking man’s Trump’. Boris is a Trump with his brain ‘between his ears’, & NOT, like his US counterpart, located in or near his back passage. Boris engages his brain before opening his mouth.
But in many ways they are similar—Both spectacular liars, both who would, & have, get their ‘leg over’ given half a chance—-on a school visit, a 7 year old innocently asked,him, “How many children do you have?”. Boris was speechless—-he didn’t know!
But they are both racist, sexist, misogynistic, but Boris uses flowery words when insulting his ‘natural enemies’—-minorities & women—-an articulate snake in the grass.
So given a choice, I’d reluctantly take Boris—-the lesser of 2 evils!

My father, who was a career Army Officer and possibly the most intelligent man I have ever known (a PHD in both English and Philosophy and a MENSA member) did not swear. The absolute worst thing he could say about someone was that that person was a fool, or barring that, a liar. Since Mr. Trump is demonstrably both a liar and a fool (the two always seemed inseparable to me), I have been at a loss these last few years to understand how he has a “base” at all. I suppose I have given my Fellow Americans that support him way too much credit for basic intelligence. It is so disheartening to find out that roughly one third of the population of this once great country believes that Donald Trump is just swell, despite massive evidence to the contrary. How have we come to this sorry state of affairs? Though my father was a gentleman that never felt the need to swear to get his point across, I sadly, am not. I therefore give to you my private opinion of Donald Trump, which I now make public: He is a sad excuse for a man. He lies constantly and uncontrollably. If something is not about HIM, than it is about nothing that he would ever feel it necessary to concern himself with. He consorts with the enemies of our country, something that used to be considered traitorous. He is, in short, a fucknuckle, a word of my own that fits the distain and disgust I feel for him better than the run-of-the-mill obscenities I have heard. A fucknuckle is not someone you would ever choose for a friend or confidant, let alone for a position of power. A fucknuckle would be lacking in any semblance of taste or character, and would almost certainly would be deficient in personal hygiene. He would always claim to be right, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. I could go on, but I think even his “base” would recognize the truth of the previous list of defects in his character. They will never admit it, however, because it is themselves - reflected in the mirror of his madness. And so, with a prayer for better days ahead and simple and honest people to show us our better angels, I leave Donald J Trump - hopefully on the ash heap of history - a liar, a fool, and a fucknuckle of the first water.

BB Ghilini5 year ago
I totally agree with Victoria Lanier....yes, his vocabulary is lacking but he comes across to those who can understand him. Obama only got elected because he was black (sorry) and was a puppet for "others". President Trump is running the government like it should be run - like a business. He has balls and a backbone. No, you don't have to like him but he is getting things done. He has my vote.
Patricia Howe5 year ago
P. Howe - are you kidding me?? Running the government like a business is a terrible idea. There's nothing specifically democratic about a business, and a government is run for the good of the people, not for profit (having a surplus budget is not the same thing as making a profit) and the benefit of those at the top. He does NOT have balls OR a backbone. I have always wondered how he snookered people into believing in the myth of his business success. And if you think intelligence and ability to govern is unimportant, you don't even have a passing familiarity with the Constitution, something it's clear DJT has never read (but of course, because he doesn't read). It's creepy to think how many people in the electorate are such poor judges of character and/or ability and think that lacking experience with elective office is A-OK. The presidency is not an entry-level position. Did you sleep through Civics class? Read the Constitution and try to figure out what the presidency entails.
Ian Mackenzie5 year ago
You're suggesting that nearly two thirds of Americans opted for Obama because he was black?? Are you out of your mind?... How about he came across as a man of integrity, morality, humility and decency? Don't you think that just maybe that had something to do with it? Trump on the other hand possesses none of those qualities but appeals to the segment of Americans who see the Jerry Springer show as intellectually inspiring.
You'll be hard pressed to back up your argument about how he's getting things done. That all part of the con.
I could add to the writer's description by describing him thus:-
A morally bankrupt moron with a schoolyard bully mentality and a narcissistic personality disorder. The world's most successful con artist who has mastered the art of selling fast talk to slow thinking people.
Ian Mackenzie5 year ago
Would that be the policy of dividing America and creating conditions of such disparity it's likely to lead to another civil war?

Rayda Santrach, you are spot on! Trump not being your typical politician is a blessing for the America people. The past presidents have talked the talk but once elected, never followed through on their promises. Can you imagine if Biden would have been the one to make the decisions for the COVID-19 pandemic? Like Obama, did with the SARS outbreak he would have let 6 months go by without taking any action. And even after the SARS pandemic, Obama did not update the Playbook to prepare for this kind of pandemic in the future. Obama didn't even restock the medical equipment and supplies to prepare for the next pandemic, but he did fund the lab that created the virus.
Ann T5 year ago
Do ANY of you Trump people deal in actual facts? SARS was in 2002-2004. As much as you would like to believe Trump’s insane ramblings that Obama is responsible for anything bad, George W. Bush was president during the SARS outbreak.
As far as broken promises go, would you care to talk about Trump’s promise that he would never have time to play golf, or the perfect health care plan that he promised years ago? Has he “drained the swamp” yet? Hell no! He has numerous convicted felons in his administration. Obama had NONE. Let me guess ... Trump told you it was “fake news” and you actually believed the old liar.

Trump is truly a repugnant, ignorant, ugly human being. However, he would not be able to wreak his global and national devastation and destruction without the help of his enablers -- 1) elected officials in the Republican Party (particularly the U.S. Senate) who openly support Trump's corruption of our constitution and fundamentals of American democracy; 2) social media channels that use their algorithms to spread hate speech and misinformation (because they make more money that way) and 3) FOX News that normalizes conspiracy theories and misinformation and fails to hold public figures accountable for their actions. They remain silent as Trump openly supports racism and police brutality, encourages violence against peaceful protesters and damages the credibility of U.S. elections...while over 150,000 Americans die from COVID-19 and the US economy is in shambles.
As an American, I am disgusted to see the disregard for humanity, lack of empathy and greed and corruption that this administration and its enablers are shamelessly dumping on the world. I do not recognize this country or its leaders.

One man said "you get the government that you deserve " . In the 1930's Germany elected Hitler, because he screamed his stupid lies about how great he was and how great they were. Hitler was a failed artist with a big mouth and ego. Trump is a failed and crooked business man, that has been blowing through daddies fortune. The only reason that he has been keep afloat was by stealing from everyone around him including the government (taxes). Hitler made his money by the sale of his book. He ordered the German government to buy his book and give it to every German. Trump wanted the US government to host major events at his resorts.

Hi LKC (again!). Whilst I can understand your logic in comparing Churchill & Trump (arrogant, loud, racist, sexist etc), for all his faults, Churchill is remembered as a hero, mainly as he was prominent in playing a big part in winning the WW2 for the allies; sadly, Trump is losing the war against Covid 19, due mainly to his personality—-ignorant, arrogant, loud, ‘knowing more than doctors & scientists’, stubborn, thin skinned etc.
But for what it’s worth, ‘OUR blond’, Boris Johnson THINKS he is like Churchill—-NOTHING could be further from the truth! In fact, he’s a poor man’s Trump—-a Trump with finesse, a Trump who speaks better English, a Trump, who, due to his posh education at England’s ‘best’ school Eton, uses flowery language when insulting minorities & women!
Essentially, a posh Trump—-but frankly, NEITHER of them fit enough to even lick Churchill’s boots—-and Churchill himself was FAR from perfect. Just shows exactly how inferior our 2 blonds are!

Please know that as a Black American, I like others have watched the lunacy that has turned the United States into the laughingstock of the planet. Who would have ever believed that the President of the US would sit at the Resolution Desk in the White House when a pandemic was killing over one thousand Americans a day while he hawks GOYA food products.
Did you ever think to see the leader of the supposedly free world advocating its citizens to drink deadly chemicals to cure or ward off a virus. Then he lauds and applauds a person who gives every impression of having escaped from a mental institution, who spouts insane medical falsehoods about aliens in your sex dreams to be a person we should listen to and follow as we wrestle with the worst health crises we have faced in my lifetime.
A man so incredibly petty and small minded who refused to acknowledge in a Presidential way the passing of an icon like John Lewis. A man so devoid of the character that his office should demand of him, rarely utters a statement about anyone other than the sycophants who suck up to him, without childish name calling and petty insults. And while I could write all day and night about how he and his minions scrape the bottom of the barrel, I will close by saying that he and his henchman , Bill Barr have done more damage to the justice system in this country that it will take decades, if even then, to return this country to a democracy and legal system that any American can trust or believe in.

Mr. Biden has gained the most traction with educated suburban women, who are abandoning Mr. Trump in droves. My circle of friends and relatives all have advanced degrees, some in medicine and law. We are Trump's worst nightmare. Speaking for myself and many people I know, moderate democrats tend to watch news on PBS and the BBC, in addition to news outlets on the left and right. I seriously doubt the same can be said of Trump supporters. Finally, Mr. Biden has something Mr. Trump will never have, specifically warmth, character and a sense of decency. I hope the writer was responding tongue-in-cheek or at worst as a provocateur, trying to drum up intense debate. If the latter is the case please feel free to delete this comment.

Re LKC
Your comparison of Trump with Churchill was, at best disingenuous!
I speak as a Brit. Churchill was born nearly 80 before Trump. In the 19th & ear
Y 20th centuries, or was de riguer to be racist, arrogant, sexist, supremest, & all the personal qualities that Churchill & Trump share. Trump should know better, but chooses not to—-& this too as an adult. At a time of crisis, Churchill united the nation—-Trump is doing, & deliberately, th complete opposite—-white vs black, conservative vs liberal, middle America vs the rest, white collar vs blue collar, immigrant vs ‘the established’; you name it, Trump has caused divisions. So whereas Churchill caught the enemy, Nazi Germany, Trump appears to be wooing the enemy, nasty Russia. The question being asked is, “Has Putin got something on Trump?”. Hitler certainly never had anything on Churchill! Trump, is a prime candidate for blackmail & the like—-what does Ghislaine Maxwell know about him? Churchill, despite his great love for cognac, was pretty ‘clean’.
The President is known as the Commander in Chief (C in C), & Covid 19 is the enemy, & quite frankly, the C in C is fighting a losing battle. Sadly, your great country, thanks to the mismanagement of the C in C, is the worlds worst affected—sadly the enemy is scoring its ‘best victories‘ under his watch.
Churchill never drank dishwasher cleaning liquid, & did not advocate others to do so—-Churchill never went against the advise of his military experts—-Trump seems to know more than scientists & doctors!
Even so, Churchill is now coming under a lot of adverse comment & criticism—-people forget that his behaviour was ‘par for the course’ at the time. Frankly, Trump has NO excuse to behave like a clown—-remember, “Elect a clown, & you get a circus”.
Yours is a wonderful country, now sadly resembling a circus, thanks to a clown posing as the C in C!

There are many telltales by which Biden supporters can be identified. But most of them - ignorant, misinformed, uneducated, etc. - have an element of subjectivity. One does not - they are, to a remarkably consistent extent, and much more so than their political adversaries, illiterate. They can't write. They can't spell. And that, alone, tells you pretty much all you need to know about the quality of their thinking and the value of their statements ...

The USA, great nation, crap leader5 year ago
So well said; like our U.K. Brexit voters. Studies showed that many who voted to leave the EU were the least educated, essentially non college educated; highly qualified professionals voted en masse to remain in the EU. Voters were lied to, & presented half truths—-an example of the latter being, “The Eu exports more to the U.K. than we do to the EU, so they need us!ORE than we need them”. True at face value, but the fatal flaw being, the powers that be that make statements such as these are not comparing like with like—-they’re comparing a nation (the U.K.), with a bloc (the EU). On a like for like basis, SHOULD Brexit go pear shaped, taking France as an example, that country’s exports to the U.K. account for only 6% of her total exports, so that could be the limit of their ‘hit’; like wise Italy (6%), Germany (9%), & so on—-in comparison the 47% of our exports are to France, Germany & the other 25 EU countries—-so a potential hit of 47%! But the uneducated masses who voted Brexit cannot fathom this.
But then, you have those leading Brexiters who understand Brexit VERY well—-the SUPER rich, who, ‘cos of relaxation of controls, will benefit from the lifting of rules & regulations as regards off shore tax havens—-frankly, they’ll be QUIDS
in come Brexit. And then we have this coastal town called Ashford in Kent, who voted 60:40 to leave the EU; being close to France, this town has been converted into a lorry park for some 15000 lorries come Brexit ( for reasons of customs etc checks, which would be needed come a no deal Brexit; now these worthy citizens of Ashford are complaining about this lorry park! For God’s sake, these people de facto VOTED for this lorry park, so why now complain?
And now, our right wing (pro Trump like government) are urging pharmacies etc to stockpile medicines!
And then we have affluent Brexiters getting EU passports, as they may have family connections—-allegedly, Nigel Farage, the biggest Brexiter of them all has/is getting a German passport—-his wife is German! And there are others also! What hypocrisy!
OK, this post is to draw a comparison between the typical Trump supporter, & your typical Brexit voter—-uneducated! But also, the U.K. is staking all on striking lucrative trade deals With your great nation—-OK, Trump is pro Brexit & anti EU, but should he lose, his successor is the opposite ie anti Brexit & pro EU—-so will any trade deals survive, assuming that they’re completed in the first place.
Frankly, the UK is in a VERY bad place, thanks to the masses of ignorant & uneducated folk that voted for this suicidal act!

Ignorant people with a mean streak said the same sort of things regarding another man who was loud, arrogant, obnoxious, etc. He was named Winston Churchill, and he saved the free world. We in America are fighting the same Marxist/Fascist enemy, but instead of guns they have infiltrated our government and are trying to destroy the Constitution from within. Your admiration for Mr. Obama is disgraceful. He did more damage to the US than any previous administration, using his knowledge as a Constitutional lawyer to instill a Deep State which seeks to destroy the freedoms and guarantees of the greatest document ever written, written by a group of Englishmen who fled the rubble of a society turned in on itself. I will take Mr. Trump, warts and all, because he is dismantling the damage, reinstating the Constitution, and making America great again. And he is doing it for free! God bless him!

If anything your orange turd has tried and sometimes even succeeded in circumventing the laws and statutes in the Constitution and Federal Statutes to put money in his pocket, to retaliate against others, and payoff his friends and corporations, and lets not forget about feeding his damn ego. As for damage caused by Obama, he got millions healthcare, and not all was for free. Obama had allies helping and working with us on climate change, nuclear control, and more... And your closing line, for FREE...the orange turd spends more money playing golf, then if he took his salary for the last three years. The comparison of Trump and Hitler is a perfect match up...As for Churchill, he did what he had to do when the shit hit the fan...unlike the orange turd he claims everything he can't handle is a hoax or fake news or democratic witch hunt. Trump is a hopeless, and an enormous waste of good oxygen.

But you, Larry...you're a twit and don't know it!
You believe you made cogent, accurate points in your comment. But because you are a twit who doesn't know he's a twit. You don’t know how ridiculously fucking stupid your comment is.

You have adapted nicely to being a twit, tho it's not something (I hate to break the news to you) that should make you proud. You should try to hide that you're a twit by not speaking when in groups and, for jesus christ sakes, NEVER AGAIN POSTING A COMMENT ON A SOCIAL MEDIA SITE!

Considering the authors comparison to Bush and Nixon, and his praise of Obama, it really is pretty obvious as to from whence his opinion comes.
Don’t think Trump is an underdog? Guess you never saw the polls that claimed Clinton had a 99.9% chance of winning in 2016. Currently he is trailing in all the polls. I wonder if he understands the term “underdog”?
As a Brit, living in the US, I find this “ Nate White, an articulate and witty writer” laughable.
Perhaps Mr. White prefers a sleepy/creepy old guy that can hardly keep a sentence together without a teleprompter. Politics is not a popularity contest.

Why do so many Americans support Trump? Several reasons: 1. Racism is still deeply ingrained and even systematic 2. bigotry and a fear of anything different are also very prevalent, especially among the ignorant and poorly educated (whom Trump has said he loves). 3. Self-righteousness, especially among the religious extremists who want to impose their views (their selective "morals") upon everyone else. Very many Americans belong to religious organisations with extremist leaders.
There are many more reasons, but these are the most prevalent and vicious. And Trump feeds on and sows viciousness.

That was an easy read. I stopped being surprised a while ago with respect to his constant shock, awe, and shrug campaign. If this short history of his presidency has taught "us" anything, it is simply to pay attention to the amount of mud he slings and not what it lands on. He digs it from within. If you watch close enough, he is telegraphing his next move. His latest distraction is the soon to be "rigged election". Mark my words, he will make sure it is. I wouldn't put it past his administration to mail in truckloads of ballots for his competition, just so he could claim he was right. As outsiders, please continue to keep a watchful eye for us, but I understand if you are tired of doing so. Otherwise, thoughts and prayers will do.

A clever article,but aimed at the wrong subject. The real question is not what and who is Trump; it is rather what there is about Trump that appeals to so many Americans. I have a hypothesis: for those who feel their power, status, and position in American society slipping away, Trump offers an [admittedly illusory] way for those folks to believe they can recover what they believe they have lost. So, they are willing to forgive, forget, and rationalize away everything he does, everything he says, and everything he is. Discuss...

David Waterson - I agree with you. Sadly, I think it's a mental health issue, as well as a self-esteem issue, as well as a self-love issue - as well as an "inability-to-be-accountable-for-one's-mistakes" issue. So many Americans (many of whom have not ever traveled outside of this country - they don't even have a desire to, as that is too scary for them - they just want the familiar) think they know everything - they are so naive, they know so little, and they have no idea how easy their lives are compared to people in other countries. The average American person has no idea how to spot a toxic relationship. They are not well-versed in subjects relating to mental health - that's a bit of a taboo subject here in individualistic, I-can-make-it-on-my-own-America (which is like a complete fantasy and delusion - no one ever makes it on their own with no help from either the government or community or institutions like schools or churches or friends and family, come on, seriously?). Most Americans don't know how to walk away from a toxic relationship, either - because they don't know how to spot a toxic relationship in the first place. Fact is - we have all been in a toxic relationship with this vile, vomitorious, con man DJT for nearly the past 4 years and people don't know how to come to terms with it, admit they made a mistake by voting for him, and walk away, in order to protect themselves and their loved ones. So they just keep supporting this evil a$$hole. It's really, really sad. I'm very worried for the future of America if this creature (the orange one, "Donald J. Trump") "wins" again. I'm so anxious, I can't sleep.

It still astounds me that Trump’s Deplorables continue to project Trump’s behavior onto Obama. Barb, answer these questions:
Are there numerous pictures of Obama with his teenage daughter sitting seductively in his lap? (Trump does!)
Did Obama answer “sex” when asked in an interview what he has most in common with his daughter? (No, that was Trump.)
Does Obama’s wife have soft core porn pictures of herself all over the internet?
Did Obama’s wife wear an “I don’t care. Do you?” jacket while visiting immigrant camps on the Mexican border?
(Trump’s wife did that.)
Did Obama have three wives, and cheat on all of them? (Trump proudly admitted that he did that.)
Did Obama tweet childish name-calling insults to world leaders, national heroes, Gold Star families? (Trump has never stopped.)
Does Obama live in a lavish New York apartment that looks as if someone shat gold spray paint on every service?
Did Obama use the presidency as his personal cash cow to put money in his own pockets by charging taxpayers while using his personal properties on his outrageous number of golf weekends?
Did Obama pick his personal rich campaign donors to place in high positions in his government, even though they have no experience whatsoever?
Did Obama destroy relationships with our allies?
Did Obama publicly back Putin over his US intelligence agencies when asked about election interference? Did Obama ignore verified reports about Russian bounties on the heads of American soldiers, and refuse to question Putin?
The list goes on and on, Barb, but you choose to ignore Trump’s lies and outrageous behavior. Instead you foolishly pretend that Barack Obama did.... whatever Trump falsely accuses him of in his daily tweets. You don’t ask questions. You don’t verify anything. Tools for Trump. Shame on you.

Trump is just being himself, and for that we should recognize as a strength. And your write up is spot on. The real problem is the fraction of the 1/3 who acknowledge these aforementioned faults, but still support Trump because of blind loyalty to his party and/or strong dislike towards Democrats. These same people are implicitly supporting bullying, ignorance of science, political nepotism and cronyism, bigotry, et al. I’m more concerned with many of my fellow Americans and their values and decision processes who let such a buffoon hold the most important role in both America and on a global stage. Trump is part of the problem...but his informed supporters are the real issue.

Your description of him is one hundred and ninety-five percent correct. America is no longer America. We are falling apart because of how Russia and Putin disrupted our 2016 election. There is so much occurring that sometimes we even forget that he uses tweets to circumvent 'punishment' by deflecting reality. The danger of deflecting reality is that the 1/4 of people who follow him religiously, as if he is THE God if there is any god, is that those states have the most votes from electoral college. I remember the night he was elected. I sobbed for hours, unable to truly believe how far America had sunken in mere minutes. Your description of Trump is one hundred and ninety-five percent correct. He isn't a 'president', either; he doesn't deserve the title. He is a Dicktator Tot.
Jason5 year ago
Trump may be uncouth, but when it is realised how important it is to have people employed. Trump is one of the most successful presidents ever. Pre Covid he had got the economy roaring. Lowest unemployment amongst Blacks and Hispanics, EVER. Highest GDP in years. Way above Obama and his pro NAFTA stance ever achieved. Obama fought more wars than any president. Trump is bringing troops home and pulling out of Afghanistan. While Obama literally encouraged the US jobs to flee the US, especially to China.
So, if you think a president’s job is to look cool and suave. Then yes, Obama was more presidential. But it you think being a president should be more about sorting things out. Notably, jobs and the economy. Then President Trump is one of the most successful presidents the US has ever had.
It is very tiring knowing that any article about Trump, will be about his image over his actions.

Tammy Greeson5 year ago
I don't understand why people think that because a president signs a bill that it magically comes to be that jobs are created or the GDP Or whatever rise's that's not the way it works it takes time for these things to trickle down so to speak and to actually happen so trump had nothing to do with many of the things that you all are given him credit for
Julio-Arrow-Veselka5 year ago
Jason, you are delusional. Trump did not magically create a roaring economy. He inherited what the previous administration put in place...and then took credit for it.
Alison5 year ago
Trump best President ever. Keep believing the fake news or Malay be you are just a communist and wish to see America fall.

I think this article describes him perfectly. I do hope that people in the U.K. know that many, many of American's are as disgusted with him as is the rest of the world. I hope that there is enough oversight in this next election to prevent anyone from trying to skew things in his favor again.
Carol Kelly5 year ago
I am in America and agree 100%!
Putin messed in our elections and rigged them for him to win. There’s a base of approximately 1/4th that are his cult. We have to vote him out on Nov 3rd and I pray he can’t cheat his way in again! Putin has control of him and is turning our country to shit.

As an U.S. citizen I totally agree with what you stated. You missed one thing that he is...."A FLAMING ASSHOLE". He's a Racist, he is attempting to separate our nation. The United States of America use to be a TREMENDOUS country that took centuries to build to the Great Nation. In less than 4 years the United States has become a nation divided, under turmoil as well as lacking leadership. Just look at our COVID-19 numbers....we're over 150,000 deaths.....don't worry it will go away. Look at our cities with PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATIONS....We now have police in unmarked vans jumping out and accosting peaceful protesters. What is it to say the there is the possibility of a group of men, not of this special police force, to wear the same attire with a similar van jumping out, grab a woman and take her away for their pleasure. Our Nation is currently a sad state of affairs.
From Brexit Britain5 year ago
APOLOGIES, THIS IS A UK BIASED POSTI
I appreciate, my post is parochial, in that it focuses on the UK’s interest in the coming US elections—-but, for what it’s worth, ALL Brits must hope that Trump wins.
See Mark Landler’s article in today’s New York Times (‘The Daily’), headed, “U K. officials’ new Trump dilemma: what if he loses”
Essentially, Biden may NOT be interested in doing/completing these apparently ‘fantastic’ trade deals that Trump has promised the U.K. following the UK’s decision to leave the EU. Maybe a case of following Obama’s diktat to the U.K. following the UK’s 2016 Referendum to leave the EU, “You shall be at the back of the queue”. Also, the article stated that Biden’s Irish connections may prevail in that he won’t make any pro U.K. decisions that could undermine Ireland when the U.K. finally DOES leave the EU!
An interesting article, this one in the NY Times, & one which every Brit fearful of Brexit MUST read.
What the article did NOT mention however, & which has been muted elsewhere is that:
1. Biden may stipulate that as far as any future US/U.K. trade deals are concerned, “EVERYTHING is on the table for discussion”. in other words, not just agriculture (which is presently being discussed), but also financial services, defence, the motor trade, technology, etc, & a lot else, but MOST important, pharma & medi equipment—-in other words, the possible privatisation of the U.K. National Health Service! This will NOT sit well with most Brits, even those who voted to leave the EU!
2. It’s fairly obvious that, thanks to Covid, the present trade talks are nowhere near completion, & will not be so, come November—-they’ve hardly started! And even if these talks ARE completed, what then? Will Biden ‘do a Trump’ & cancel/annul all decisions & initiatives undertaken by his predecessor? (Obamacare, Iran treaty?). In other words, cancel agreed trade deals and/or just discontinue any ongoing trade talks? In other words, NO, or minimal trade deals between our 2 great nations—-So NOTHING to replace the UK’s present exports to the EU, which represents some 47% of UK’s total exports. Yes, the U.K. is pursuing trade deals with other countries also, but the USA is the big prize!
Tough times ahead for the USA? NOTHING like what lies ahead for the U.K., now that we’ve left the EU.
In June 2016. I voted to leave the EU, on the basis that 4 years on, lucrative trade deals with the USA would have been completed by then, but they’ve barely begun, thanks to the pressure exerted by the 48% of the U.K. population who voted to Remain in the EU, & now Covid 19!
Not sure how Brits would vote on the EU now, SPECIALLY as they’ve have had 4 years to finally & formally realise that Trump is an absolute cowboy & clown!
The USA, a wonderful country, sadly led by a buffoon!
BUFFOON OR NOT, IF TRUMP DOES NOT WIN IN NOVEMBER, GOD HELP THE U.K.!
U.K. man5 year ago
Yes, your points are valid; but we in the U.K. had 4 years of a ‘pro Brexit Trump’, & we couldn’t nail it. Now, if Trump is removed, the U.K. will be at the mercy of a ‘pro EU, anti Brexit’ Biden
As you,said, ‘Buffon or not, if Trump loses, God help the UK’

He’s an embarrassment. He treat the whole world with no respect, except murderous dictators. He confuses being a bully with being tough. He’s willing to sell out his own soldiers in hopes of Putin being his friend. He’s as dumb as a box of rocks and expects people to believe his ridiculous lies. He has no morals. These are just the highlights. And his wife and kids are as bad as he is. I don’t know if his youngest is ruined yet but give him time. We have never seen him take that poor kid anywhere except to his golf courses and even then you never see them together. God help our country if he doesn’t get voted out of office.

Nate White originally wrote this on his Quora page in February 2019, funnily enough it doesn’t exist anymore... I wonder why... Trump has done incredible work towards exposing little by little, all that is wrong with this planet, for one of only two presidents who has funded their own presidential campaign, (look into Obama’s rise) he is a man of integrity, a patriot and I admire his fortitude in getting his country back. You only have to look at NZ to see what happens when your leader hands over your sovereignty to a NWO. #wwg1wga

Fact checker is correct on one point for sure; this piece was published in 2019. Not sure why you’d try to pass off a year old opinion piece as something new... maybe because there are still people out there who need to hear it. As far as the article itself is concerned,... I believe the author to be correct on EVERY point.
Marilyn Gordanier5 year ago
Thank you so much for artfully articulating the challenge of a president with no soul. I too am completely shocked by Trump's action, words and lack of humanity. I too ponder, how could anyone believe in him and vote for him. I am hoping this is not a reflection of the state of our nation. I like to think we are pretty nice people and capable of making a distinction by the good, bad and the ugly
Judy Deertrack5 year ago
Thank you.....thank you.....thank you......to the author of this brilliant article. I have suffered beyond description from an inability to translate my dumbfounded, visceral reaction to Trump into human communication. Trump renders me speechless, at least to the level of articulation his crimes deserve, and it is actually hard to match his absurdity with a meaningful response. This author stands in the shoes of millions of Americans and speaks for us through basic (but brilliant) literary skills that have been lost in this Country. We are indebted.
Bob5 year ago
During our long and booriing lockdown I have come to rely on Trump to entertain me and I haven’t been disappointed.
His tweets, comments and stories of historical events (I refer to one in particular how in 1760 the Confederate army were victorious in battle by securing the airfields thus preventIng airial domination,)
The man is an absolute Pratt, he engages his mouth before putting his brain into gear (if he had one) surely the American people are better than this.
He is considered an idiot globally but I have to say thanks for the entertainment.
Solomon5 year ago
Agree with you! If I was throwing a party, he’d be brilliant, as raceunter—-give him half an hour to entertain the guests. In the,U.K. we have ‘Comedy Clubs’, where a stand up comic takes to the stage, & provokes laughter amongst the audience; all the President has to do is act natural!
🇬🇧Fact Checker5 year ago
This exact piece of writing can be found in an article from March 8 2019. Whilst yes, back then, the British people would have blindly followed this rhetoric... nowadays with our lack of faith in the media delivering factual based non-biased information (ooh looky here...)and as we watch the political field play out their agendas over in the States, there is a lot of support in the UK for this man, that I think will surprise a lot of people.
From Brexit Britain5 year ago
I agree; there is a fair amount of support for Trump & the Republican Party. The U.K. is/has left the European Union (EU), & we in the U.K. are in the process of completing lucrative trade deals with the USA, deals that the US President has promised would be fantastic for the U.K.
So yes, we in the U.K. would be FOOLS not to support Trump, & hope he gets a 2nd term, as the alternative ( Biden),is a completely unknown factor!
Maria5 year ago
Thank you for the articulate observations and truths about "IQ45". We are the laughing stock of the world because of his speech, beliefs, actions, and deeds. He represents the dis-ease and dysfunctions of America. In November, with a new leader with Mr. Biden, we'll began to heal from the multigeneratiinal trauma he's inflicted on us. Our nation's people and her children will again begin to believe this country has a leader they can be inspired and not bullied by.

I was raised by a benign narcissist. I recognize the character failings that crippled my well-intentioned mother. In him, motivated by greed, jealousy and paranoia, it becomes a malignant force that spreads corruption around him like pus from a canker. He should have been driven from office when he violated his Oath, but his toad spread the oily gunk that he "shouldn't be removed from an office the electorate put him in", so his followers mindlessly turn to the electoral process. If there is a god, that ought to do it. If there isn't, maybe a moment of clarity

For the benefit of Caroline.
Your comment was obviously copied and pasted, as I have seen it in lots of places before. I thought I would go through each one line by line and comment on the validity. It seems to be taken as the word of law from most trump supporters without actually fact checking any of it. I don’t mind doing it as the next time I see this copied and pasted, I will have something of my very own to copy and paste too!
* Trump recently signed 3 bills to benefit Native people. One gives compensation to the Spokane tribe for loss of their lands in the mid-1900s, one funds Native language programs, and the third gives federal recognition to the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians in Montana.
(Trump has done nothing to better the lives of native people. In fact just the opposite. He has only made token gestures like every other administration on one hand while stripping, occupying, and stealing their land)
* Trump finalized the creation of Space Force as our 6th Military branch.
(yet more money on military spending at the expense of education and healthcare – good on him….)
* Trump signed a law to make cruelty to animals a federal felony so that animal abusers face tougher consequences.👀
(If I recall correctly, this was a bill put in place by the democrats, trump just signed off on it, which means it would have been put in place no matter who was president)
* Violent crime has fallen every year he’s been in office after rising during the 2 years before he was elected.
(Except in the case of police abuse, there has been a significant increase in cases that are caught, not to mention cases that are not reported officially. Additionally most of the reduction has happened in white middle class areas, not where the reduction is needed most. )
* Trump signed a bill making CBD and Hemp legal.👀👀
(Again, this was a bill written by the democrats, trump just signed off on it. It would have happened either way)
* Trump’s EPA gave $100 million to fix the water infrastructure problem in Flint, Michigan.
(But provided no oversight on how it was spent. People are still struggling to get fresh water in Flint)
* Under Trump’s leadership, in 2018 the U.S. surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world’s largest producer of crude oil.
(This has nothing to do with Trump. This would have happened with or without him).
* Trump signed a law ending the gag orders on Pharmacists that prevented them from sharing money-saving information.
(But did nothing to fix the immoral pricing from Pharmaceutical companies).
* Trump signed the “Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act” (FOSTA), which includes the “Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act” (SESTA) which both give law enforcement and victims new tools to fight sex trafficking.👀
(Yet he has been seen personally with many of the high profile sex traffickers with photo evidence. When the last one was arrested he wished her well in a recorded interview...wtf).
* Trump signed a bill to require airports to provide spaces for breastfeeding Moms.
(again, not his bill, he signed it, but it would have been signed either way)
* The 25% lowest-paid Americans enjoyed a 4.5% income boost in November 2019, which outpaces a 2.9% gain in earnings for the country's highest-paid workers.
(Since trump came into power, the income gap between the richest 1% has grown significantly more then the gap mentioned here. Again this has nothing to do with trump. He has not made any difference overall).
* Low-wage workers are benefiting from higher minimum wages and from corporations that are increasing entry-level pay.
(Low wage workers still do not make enough money to survive without having to resort to food stamps. Trump did nothing meaningful here. People working at walmart still can not afford to pay all their bills).
* Trump signed the biggest wilderness protection & conservation bill in a decade and designated 375,000 acres as protected land.
(Fact check this one yourself. There is so much information regarding how these conservation areas are not in the right locations, and about areas he stripped of conservation status to allow mining companies to rape the land. There is so much information out there on this that it is too big to reply to).
* Trump signed the Save our Seas Act which funds $10 million per year to clean tons of plastic & garbage from the ocean.👀
(Yet does nothing to implement laws where it matters most. Punishing corporations that pollute the ocean in the first place).
* He signed a bill this year allowing some drug imports from Canada so that prescription prices would go down.
(This is a symptom not a cure. Legislation needs to be put in place to prevent this from happening in the first place).
* Trump signed an executive order this year that forces all healthcare providers to disclose the cost of their services so that Americans can comparison shop and know how much less providers charge insurance companies.
(I wont even go into healthcare issues. The US is ranked 49th in the world for healthcare. Some 3rd world countries have better healthcare then the US).
* When signing that bill he said no American should be blindsided by bills for medical services they never agreed to in advance.
(Yet this is still happening. I can’t count the number of stories I have read since Covid started about people leaving the hospital with medical bills over 1 million dollars).
* Hospitals will now be required to post their standard charges for services, which include the discounted price a hospital is willing to accept.
(Again, private hospitals are insane. Almost no other country in the world operates like this. It is a broken system)
* In the eight years prior to President Trump’s inauguration, prescription drug prices increased by an average of 3.6% per year. Under Trump, drug prices have seen year-over-year declines in nine of the last ten months, with a 1.1% drop as of the most recent month.
(This is a flat out lie.)
* He created a White House VA Hotline to help veterans and principally staffed it with veterans and direct family members of veterans.👀👀
(The reason this needs to be in place is because of the broken healthcare system in the first place).
* VA employees are being held accountable for poor performance, with more than 4,000 VA employees removed, demoted, and suspended so far.
(Yet the average wait time to see a doctor for a veteran is still around 6 hours in the lightly populated areas. Again, this is a symptom of a bigger overwhelming problem that he has done nothing to address)
* Issued an executive order requiring the Secretaries of Defense, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs to submit a joint plan to provide veterans access to access to mental health treatment as they transition to civilian life.
(Yet has done nothing to actually help the veterans once they are discharged from service. Mental health is only 1 part of a larger systemic issue that needs to be addressed).
* Because of a bill signed and championed by Trump, In 2020, most federal employees will see their pay increase by an average of 3.1% — the largest raise in more than 10 years.
(Again this is a half truth. Most of the pay increases have been dished out to high level politicians and when spread out over the entire government it appears like everyone is getting a big raise, however in truth, most of the people working at the ground level saw much less than this).
* Trump signed into a law up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave for millions of federal workers.
(Most other countries already have this for ALL workers, not just federal)
* Trump administration will provide HIV prevention drugs for free to 200,000 uninsured patients per year for 11 years.👀👀
(If the US had proper healthcare, this would not be an issue to begin with).
* All-time record sales during the 2019 holidays.
(Nothing to do with trump)
* Trump signed an order allowing small businesses to group together when buying insurance to get a better price👀👀
(This never actually happened though. The order did nothing)
* President Trump signed the Preventing Maternal Deaths Act that provides funding for states to develop maternal mortality reviews to better understand maternal complications and identify solutions & largely focuses on reducing the higher mortality rates for Black Americans.
(This is a long winded way to say, he has made no real change).
* In 2018, President Trump signed the groundbreaking First Step Act, a criminal justice bill which enacted reforms that make our justice system fairer and help former inmates successfully return to society.
(The US still leads the world in number of people incarcerated. This is a token gesture without any real teeth and makes nothing better)
* The First Step Act’s reforms addressed inequities in sentencing laws that disproportionately harmed Black Americans and reformed mandatory minimums that created unfair outcomes.👀👀
(The inequities are still in place)
* The First Step Act expanded judicial discretion in sentencing of non-violent crimes.
(The inequities are still happening)
* Over 90% of those benefitting from the retroactive sentencing reductions in the First Step Act are Black Americans.
(Yet Black Americans are still 90% more likely to receive a larger sentence then white people for the same crimes).
* The First Step Act provides rehabilitative programs to inmates, helping them successfully rejoin society and not return to crime.
(This really does nothing overall. Look at Sweden’s judicial system and compare it to the one in the US. This is a token program to try and garner more votes).
* Trump increased funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) by more than 14%.👀👀
(Yet most people can not afford a post secondary education without taking on crippling debt),
* Trump signed legislation forgiving Hurricane Katrina debt that threatened HBCUs.
(This one I will give to him. I have not been able to find more information about this)
* New single-family home sales are up 31.6% in October 2019 compared to just one year ago.
(This has absolutely nothing to do with Trump. He was just in the right place at the right time)
* Made HBCUs a priority by creating the position of executive director of the White House Initiative on HBCUs.
(Couldn't find out more information on this. Can’t comment)
* Trump received the Bipartisan Justice Award at a historically black college for his criminal justice reform accomplishments.
(Yet classifies peaceful protesters terrorists and supports mass arrests and police brutality in BLM protests)
* The poverty rate fell to a 17-year low of 11.8% under the Trump administration as a result of a jobs-rich environment.👀
(This is a blatant lie. The number of people under the poverty line has gone down a little bit, but the degree of poverty has increased significantly).
* Poverty rates for African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans have reached their lowest levels since the U.S. began collecting such data.
(This is a blatant lie. The number of people under the poverty line has gone down a little bit, but the degree of poverty has increased significantly).
* President Trump signed a bill that creates five national monuments, expands several national parks, adds 1.3 million acres of wilderness, and permanently reauthorizes the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
(This bill was put in place by the democrats and would have happened whether trump was in office or not)
* Trump’s USDA committed $124 Million to rebuild rural water infrastructure.👀👀
(Not something to brag about. This needed to be done no matter what, and most likely would have happened with any other president in office as well).
* Consumer confidence & small business confidence is at an all time high.
(Nothing to do with trump – this item is just here to fill space and make the list longer I think)
* More than 7 million jobs created since election.
(This item is in here multiple times to increase the length of the list. It does nothing to illustrate the types of jobs created. Over 85% of the jobs he created are minimum wage part time jobs. These jobs will not allow someone to provide for their family. Real meaningful job creation is still needed).
* More Americans are now employed than ever recorded before in our history.
(This is a misrepresentation. It does not take into account the population growth of the US and is wrong when you look at it on a per capita basis)
* More than 400,000 manufacturing jobs created since his election.
(This has nothing to do with trump. He inherited an economy on the rise from his predecessor).
* Trump appointed 5 openly gay ambassadors.👀👀
(does he want a medal for this? They are people, who cares if they are gay or not. The fact that he had to draw attention to it only signifies that it was done for political reasons. The quality of someones work needs to be the sole determination of their position, not their sexual orientation).
* Trump ordered Ric Grenell, his openly gay ambassador to Germany, to lead a global initiative to decriminalize homosexuality across the globe.
(Again, see the previous point, who cares if Ric Grenell is gay or not. Why draw attention to it? What meaningful change has this made? People are still executed in some Muslim countries for being gay)
* Through Trump’s Anti-Trafficking Coordination Team (ACTeam) initiative, Federal law enforcement more than doubled convictions of human traffickers and increased the number of defendants charged by 75% in ACTeam districts.
(Yet he has been photographed in public numerous times with high ranking human traffickers that are linked to the exploitation of minors. Additionally when the last high ranking human sex trafficker was arrested, he stated on TV in an interview that he wished her wll. This sounds like something that was done without him even knowing about it).
* In 2018, the Department of Justice (DOJ) dismantled an organization that was the internet’s leading source of prostitution-related advertisements resulting in sex trafficking.
(This has nothing to do with who was elected at the time and more to do with proper police work)
* Trump’s OMB published new anti-trafficking guidance for government procurement officials to more effectively combat human trafficking.
(Yet human trafficking is more prevalent today then ever before. This again has to do with police work and nothing to do with Trump himself. I know for a fact that he did not have anything to do with the guidance. The guidelines were created by educated people trying to make a difference and Trump just took credit for it).
* Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations arrested 1,588 criminals associated with Human Trafficking.
(And still has the children in internment camps at the border. They are separated from their families and living in squalor).
* Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services provided funding to support the National Human Trafficking Hotline to identify perpetrators and give victims the help they need.
(This is a sign of the times and has nothing to do with Trump. Something has to be done about it and no matter who was in office, something similar would have been done).
* The hotline identified 16,862 potential human trafficking cases.
(This is a sign of the times and has nothing to do with Trump. Something has to be done about it and no matter who was in office, something similar would have been done).
* Trump’s DOJ provided grants to organizations that support human trafficking victims – serving nearly 9,000 cases from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2018.👀👀
(Again, with the rise of human trafficking something had to be done. Similar actions would have been done by any sitting president. I find it hard to believe that this was something that actually means anything to a man who admitted to sexual assault on tape).
* The Department of Homeland Security has hired more victim assistance specialists, helping victims get resources and support.
(Again, with the rise of human trafficking something had to be done. Similar actions would have been done by any sitting president. I find it hard to believe that this was something that actually means anything to a man who admitted to sexual assault on tape).
* President Trump has called on Congress to pass school choice legislation so that no child is trapped in a failing school because of his or her zip code.👀👀
(Yet has not done anything to fix the actual issue - shitty schools. In fact, Trump has reduced the amount of money dedicated to education overall significantly since coming into office).
* The President signed funding legislation in September 2018 that increased funding for school choice by $42 million.
(Yet has not done anything to fix the actual issue - shitty schools. In fact, Trump has reduced the amount of money dedicated to education overall significantly since coming into office).
* The tax cuts signed into law by President Trump promote school choice by allowing families to use 529 college savings plans for elementary and secondary education.👀👀
(The bigger issue is that public schools are so poorly funded that people need to pay for a private education. Public education in the US lags so far behind any other first world country it is not even funny).
* Under his leadership ISIS has lost most of their territory and been largely dismantled.
(Yet ISIS was in place from the US involvement in middle eastern countries to begin with).
* ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was killed.
(With the amount of money the US spends on the military, it is not a surprise he was killed. However, I can safely bet that it cost about as much as a brand new school for this operation to happen).
* Signed the first Perkins CTE reauthorization since 2006, authorizing more than $1 billion for states each year to fund vocational and career education programs.
(Yet the US still lags behind every other developed nation in education)
* Executive order expanding apprenticeship opportunities for students and workers.
(After looking into this, it turns out that nothing of note happened from this action).
* Trump issued an Executive Order prohibiting the U.S. government from discriminating against Christians or punishing expressions of faith.
(Yet openly discriminates against other religions himself. The US government was founded on the separation of church and state, yet trump panders to Christianity over any other religion to increase his votes).
* Signed an executive order that allows the government to withhold money from college campuses deemed to be anti-Semitic and who fail to combat anti-Semitism.
(Again, this is not something to brag about, it should be common sense that any Anti-Semetic organization period does not get government funding. It doesn’t matter what market the business falls into).
* President Trump ordered a halt to U.S. tax money going to international organizations that fund or perform abortions.
(The government has no right to interfere in this area. This is a negative not a positive).
* Trump imposed sanctions on the socialists in Venezuela who have killed their citizens.
(Yet US police officers continue to kill US citizens)
* Finalized new trade agreement with South Korea.
(Nothing to say on this one, trade is trade no matter who is in office. Pretty sure this had nothing to do with Trump himself).
* Made a deal with the European Union to increase U.S. energy exports to Europe.👀👀
(Again this really doesnt have anything to do with Trump).
* Withdrew the U.S. from the job killing TPP deal.
(Way to much to unpack here. This could be an essay about the size of this list on its own. In summary, the TPP deal he withdrew from would have made a drastic improvement on the environment).
* Secured $250 billion in new trade and investment deals in China and $12 billion in Vietnam.
(Since this has happened, it has come to light that the trade deals he made with a lot of the large corporations in China use forced labor, or flat out economic slavery. China’s reprehensible humanitarian situation is not something to be proud to support).
* Okay’d up to $12 billion in aid for farmers affected by unfair trade retaliation.👀👀
(The only reason the farmers were in the situation to begin with was because of Trumps shitty foreign policy. That is like hitting someone with a baseball bat and being proud that you gave them a bandaid after).
* Has had over a dozen US hostages freed, including those Obama could not get freed.
(How many new hostages has he not freed since coming into office? What is the total amount of freed hostages that Obama helped? This is an empty statement)
* Trump signed the Music Modernization Act, the biggest change to copyright law in decades.
(Enforcing draconic conditions on Youtubers and other streamers so that media companies can make more money. This is a blatant act of pandering to multi-national corporations, not a law that actually helps the general population).
* Trump secured Billions that will fund the building of a wall at our southern border.
(how is this a positive? Billions of dollars spent on something that will do absolutely nothing to help the country. His precious wall is falling over in some places, and extremely ineffective in others. This was a stupid idea to begin with).
* The Trump Administration is promoting second chance hiring to give former inmates the opportunity to live crime-free lives and find meaningful employment.
(Yet, to this day it is extremely unlikely that a former inmate will get hired in a meaningful employment situation).
* Trump’s DOJ and the Board Of Prisons launched a new “Ready to Work Initiative” to help connect employers directly with former prisoners.👀👀
(Yet, to this day it is extremely unlikely that a former inmate will get hired in a meaningful employment situation).
* President Trump’s historic tax cut legislation included new Opportunity Zone Incentives to promote investment in low-income communities across the country.
(This does nothing for small business in the low-income communities. It is geared towards large organizations that already make insane money globally. This generates low income jobs for people that can’t support themselves on the wages supplied. This does nothing overall and instead perpetuates the broken system we live in where the rich get richer and the poor stay poor).
* 8,764 communities across the country have been designated as Opportunity Zones.
(See original comment)
* Opportunity Zones are expected to spur $100 billion in long-term private capital investment in economically distressed communities across the country.
(See original comment)
* Trump directed the Education Secretary to end Common Core.👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
(Yet almost every other educated country is moving in this direction. Way to stand out Mr. Trump, prevent our children from learning something that every one they will deal with in the future will know)
* Trump signed the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund into law.
(this is a big one to unwrap. I will not comment on it here. Too much to get into)
* Trump signed measure funding prevention programs for Veteran suicide.👀👀
(Yet does nothing to help stem the actual problem of why Veterans have a higher suicide rate to begin with. It is a political token gesture that will never have a net positive effect).
* Companies have brought back over a TRILLION dollars from overseas because of the TCJA bill that Trump signed.
(Yet almost every large corporation still has tax havens they use. In fact, the cruise industry that was hit so hard due to Covid is getting a bailout even though they have their head offices and businesses registered in other countries to avoid paying taxes).
* Manufacturing jobs are growing at the fastest rate in more than 30 years.
(Has absolutely nothing to do with Trump).
* Median household income has hit highest level ever recorded.
(This is due more to inflation then anything Trump has done)
* African-American unemployment is at an all time low.
(Yet the majority of African-Americans still predominantly live below the poverty line. This is a token catch phrase that obfuscates the real issue – Jobs created are primarily part time-minimum wage positions that no one can afford to live on).
* Hispanic-American unemployment is at an all time low.
(Mainly because of his heavy handed deporting of Hispanic people, and internment camps at the border)
* Asian-American unemployment is at an all time low.
(this applies to the next few items as well. The new jobs created are almost all minimum wage jobs where the employees can not afford to live on the wages they receive. The last stats i found stated that 94% of the new jobs created are minimum wage. Most of these people require food stamps to supplement their income in order to survive which is a net drain on the economy)
* Women’s unemployment rate is at a 65-year low.
(this applies to the next few items as well. The new jobs created are almost all minimum wage jobs where the employees can not afford to live on the wages they receive. The last stats i found stated that 94% of the new jobs created are minimum wage. Most of these people require food stamps to supplement their income in order to survive which is a net drain on the economy)
* Youth unemployment is at a 50-year low.
(this applies to the next few items as well. The new jobs created are almost all minimum wage jobs where the employees can not afford to live on the wages they receive. The last stats i found stated that 94% of the new jobs created are minimum wage. Most of these people require food stamps to supplement their income in order to survive which is a net drain on the economy)
* We have the lowest unemployment rate ever recorded.
(this applies to the next few items as well. The new jobs created are almost all minimum wage jobs where the employees can not afford to live on the wages they receive. The last stats i found stated that 94% of the new jobs created are minimum wage. Most of these people require food stamps to supplement their income in order to survive which is a net drain on the economy)
* The Pledge to America’s Workers has resulted in employers committing to train more than 4 million Americans.
(The commitment is nothing without action. To date, next to no training has happened that would allow a worker to significantly improve their station in life)
* 95 percent of U.S. manufacturers are optimistic about the future— the highest ever.
(This is a flat out lie. It is untrue on so many levels. Any research into it will disprove it)
* As a result of the Republican tax bill, small businesses will have the lowest top marginal tax rate in more than 80 years
(Again a lie. The tax breaks were for multi-national corporations. Hardly any tax breaks were given to small business)
* Record number of regulations eliminated that hurt small businesses.
(Also a lie, the regulations eliminated were mostly unavailable to most small businesses, but were very accessible to large corporations)
* Signed welfare reform requiring able-bodied adults who don’t have children to work or look for work if they’re on welfare.🙌
(They are required to work, however the only jobs in the market can not support their families)
* Under Trump, the FDA approved more affordable generic drugs than ever before in history.
(Yet prescriptions in the USA are still orders of magnitude higher in cost then almost every other country with no sign of declining prices)
* Reformed Medicare program to stop hospitals from overcharging low-income seniors on their drugs—saving seniors 100’s of millions of $$$ this year alone.👀👀
(again, a lie, Trump stripped most of the previous administrations programs of their ability to reduce seniors drug prices and then put new laws into place that are less effective in reducing drug prices. In essence, he spent huge amounts of money putting programs into place that were less effective then the programs he removed)
* Signed Right-To-Try legislation allowing terminally ill patients to try experimental treatment that wasn’t allowed before.
(This is great, however the primary reason people use this is trials are typically less expensive then existing health care options. People risk their lives in order to save money on treatment)
* Secured $6 billion in new funding to fight the opioid epidemic.❤️❤️
(The opiod epidemic is largely in place due to lax government regulations on the pharmaceutical industry. This is not something to brag about)
* Signed VA Choice Act and VA Accountability Act, expanded VA telehealth services, walk-in-clinics, and same-day urgent primary and mental health care.👀👀
(again not something to brag about. This should be significantly better then it is. I personally know quite a few veterans that struggle to get their basic health care needs. More needs to be done).
* U.S. oil production recently reached all-time high so we are less dependent on oil from the Middle East.
(This has nothing to do with trump at all, he is not pumping the oil himself)
* The U.S. is a net natural gas exporter for the first time since 1957.
(Again this would have happened no matter who was president, not trumps doing)
* NATO allies increased their defense spending because of his pressure campaign.
(at the expense of other social programs that benefited the citizens of their respective countries).
* Withdrew the United States from the job-killing Paris Climate Accord in 2017 and that same year the U.S. still led the world by having the largest reduction in Carbon emissions.👀👀
(Carbon reduction is bullshit, it is a buzzword and that is all. Countries need to be measured on net carbon production for this to be effective and they are not. For example Canada has not met their carbon reduction guidelines, however due to the massive amount of trees in the country, overall, they remove more carbon from the atmosphere then almost every other country)
* Has his circuit court judge nominees being confirmed faster than any other new administration.
(and they are all puppets that follow trump's orders)
* Had his Supreme Court Justice’s Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh confirmed.
(again his puppets)
* Moved U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.👀👀
(inconsequential)
* Agreed to a new trade deal with Mexico & Canada that will increase jobs here and $$$ coming in.
(At the expense of civil negotiations with either country. In Canada alone, most of the population boycotted American goods significantly reducing the amount of trade between the countries. Unsure about Mexican trade)
* Reached a breakthrough agreement with the E.U. to increase U.S. exports.
(Unsure how this panned out in the long run)
* Imposed tariffs on China in response to China’s forced technology transfer, intellectual property theft, and their chronically abusive trade practices, has agreed to a Part One trade deal with China.
(This has done absolutely nothing to stem any of the issues mentioned. All it did was sour relations between the countries)
* Signed legislation to improve the National Suicide Hotline.👀
(Unsure on this one, need to do more research)
* Signed the most comprehensive childhood cancer legislation ever into law, which will advance childhood cancer research and improve treatments.
(All this law did was provide more money to the pharmaceutical companies. Treatment will still be extremely expensive in the US)
* The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law by Trump doubled the maximum amount of the child tax credit available to parents and lifted the income limits so more people could claim it
(The low income people that need this would have been better helped by creating more jobs that are not minimum wage instead. Families can not afford to live on the wages they are getting from the jobs created by Trump and his administration)
* It also created a new tax credit for other dependents.
(Same issue as the previous statement)
* In 2018, President Trump signed into law a $2.4 billion funding increase for the Child Care and Development Fund, providing a total of $8.1 billion to States to fund child care for low-income families.
(Again, same issue. If trump would have created more than minimum wage jobs, this would not be as big of an issue)
* The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC) signed into law by Trump provides a tax credit equal to 20-35% of child care expenses, $3,000 per child & $6,000 per family + Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) allow you to set aside up to $5,000 in pre-tax $ to use for child care.
(Again great in theory, but the main reason these people have a difficult time paying their monthly expenses is that a huge portion of jobs in the market are minimum wage)
* In 2019 President Donald Trump signed the Autism Collaboration, Accountability, Research, Education and Support Act (CARES) into law which allocates $1.8 billion in funding over the next five years to help people with autism spectrum disorder and to help their families.👀👀
(Again, this money is going to the pharmaceutical companies primarily. Hardly anything trickles down to the actual families)
* In 2019 President Trump signed into law two funding packages providing nearly $19 million in new funding for Lupus specific research and education programs, as well an additional $41.7 billion in funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the most Lupus funding EVER.
(Again, this money is going to the pharmaceutical companies primarily. Hardly anything trickles down to the actual families)
* Another upcoming accomplishment to add: In the next week or two Trump will be signing the first major anti-robocall law in decades called the TRACED Act (Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence.) Once it’s the law, the TRACED Act will extend the period of time the FCC has to catch & punish those who intentionally break telemarketing restrictions. The bill also requires voice service providers to develop a framework to verify calls are legitimate before they reach your phone.
(This will be highly ineffective without the means to police the problem. Also, it is like trying to plug a huge hole in a dam with your finger. Almost every major cell phone carrier already has developed the ability to display a possible scam message on your phone when a call comes in that is questionable. This was developed in advance by the companies. Additionally, the bill does not do much in terms of forcing ISP's to hand over customer information. Almost every robocall has moved long ago to web based services where they can create an unlimited number of phone numbers free, and mask the identity of their company in the process. A useless bill against a constantly shifting and evolving epidemic)
* US stock market continually hits all-time record highs.
(With his own cabinet doing insider trading with no accountability)
* Because so many people asked for a document with all of this listed in one place, here it is. No links provided to remove bias as Google search is easy. Print this out for family, friends, neighbors, etc. I encourage you to drop this list off to voters before the 2020 election too!
(No links are provided because most of this is untrue. Anyone can type a wall of text without facts)
*Trump did all of this while fighting flagrant abuse and impeachment charges.
(The only reason he got off on the impeachment charges was because of a flagrant abuse of power. He brags about not being impeached yet if the deck was not so stacked in his favor by the cronies he put in power, he would have been. This is a failing of the US government, not something to brag about)

Despite how everyone thinks of him I would say the result counts.
From David Ballard on FB
Dude has been in office for 3 years.... what has he done? Other than dodging the darts the media and Pelosi have thrown?!?
Please explain to me why you have a problem with OUR president? Because he has misspoke a few times? Tell me when you find a perfect person, please....I’ll wait!

* He signed a bill this year allowing some drug imports from Canada so that prescription prices would go down.

* When signing that bill he said no American should be blindsided by bills for medical services they never agreed to in advance.
* Hospitals will now be required to post their standard charges for services, which include the discounted price a hospital is willing to accept.
* In the eight years prior to President Trump’s inauguration, prescription drug prices increased by an average of 3.6% per year. Under Trump, drug prices have seen year-over-year declines in nine of the last ten months, with a 1.1% drop as of the most recent month.

* The First Step Act’s reforms addressed inequities in sentencing laws that disproportionately harmed Black Americans and reformed mandatory minimums that created unfair outcomes.👀👀

Over half of American voters did not elect him, our outdated system that weighs votes based on a counting of senators and representatives per state so that even the least populated states have three votes in the electoral college and most states are a winner take all electoral college count so by winning the small state by less than a 10% margin, and pandering to those who were, because of their inability to judge on anything but the color of his skin, angry about having had an African American president who was so loved by not just supporters in this country, but by the entire world.

The writer of this article definitely understands the reality of our current American political disaster. We are in the throes of a hostile takeover of the US Federal Government by this heinous Kompromat kriminal korrupt Putin-puppet illegitimate irrational irresponsible immoral incompetent ignorant impeached imbecile fake pOTUS tRump.
It is obvious from Stevie D’s horrific diatribe that many of my fellow American citizens- those that mindlessly show fealty to the heinous tRump imperium- are neither patriots, nor students of history. His mindless, hateful rant- like those of his obermeister tRump- shows his blind ignorance of the facts, truths, and the massive evidence of the greatest criminal conspiracy to ever take place on our shores. Unlike the immigrants who may die trying to come to our country- who are now being deported or barred from entry by tRump- these domestic deplorables are the ones who should be deported.

Who gives a Sh-t what a British writer has to say about Trump and the ability to run a Country (5X) the size of the UK- If you want a Black Havard Professor eloquence in speaking - good luck, that's all he had...he had no business running America - HE DID NOTHING (in Eight Long Years) except drive the worst Financial meltdown in our history; while he sent our corporations and economy to Communist China, in addition to Gifting 100's of Billions of our Tax $$$ to Iran (a Damn enemy to America) - OBama Sucked Bad - he should be in prison for organizing a conspiracy with top officials of FBI, CIA, NSA, DOJ and Dumicrats against Trump and General Flynn...I could care less about Trump's Wit, or ability to tell a joke, he's NO Kiss Ass - he tough on everyone...He's All Business - and I couldn't be HAPPIER.

Well, I am an American...The writer is spot on in his assessment. I’m not sure how anyone who voted for this twat is still defending their decision. Trump has done his absolute best to turn America into the shithole nation that he titled other countries to be. His poor judgment with the Corona Virus has killed over 142K Americans, tanked the great economy that the prior administration built, allowed American soldiers to be hunted by Putin without a word, and has been a cheerleader for white supremacy. Most of America would welcome that black guy back in office.

Elect a clown, and you get a circus. This analysis of Trump, sent by my dear English friend Peter Smith, is astute and deeply disturbing because it is so true. As an American citizen, what is even more scary than the man himself is the kind of people--mostly men but also some women--who agree to work for him. One could easily believe that his entire government is totally corrupt and morally blind! We can, and must, evict this Frankenstein in November.

Also, how would one describe the people who follow and applaud his personality and behavior? I would love to know how to describe those people, besides “Trumpers”. There has to be a more accurate name for them.
The farmers in the Midwest in states such as Iowa, Kansas, Texas, Nebraska, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Arkansas supported El Loco Trumpo to a significant degree, and they are going to feel the brunt of Dear Leader's tariffs since so much of their farm output such as wheat, corn, soybeans, beef, pork, chicken and other commodities are exported, especially to China. The Chinese can easily turn to other suppliers and leave Trump-supporting farmers in the lurch. And that is a good thing. Goody, goody gumdrops! Many of them believe with their heart and soul that the Lord God Almighty in Heaven on High anointed Trump to save America when it was in fact the Prince of Darkness, Mr. Satan, who anointed Trump, his evil spawn, to destroy America. They swallowed Herr Trump's bullshit lock, stock and barrel, and they deserve whatever bad things come their way. These bad things may be weather-related as a result of climate change, in which they will suffer a double whammy financially with crops and markets destroyed. I hope they all go bankrupt. I hope they lose their farms. I hope they can't send their kids to college. I hope they end up living in a cardboard Maytag washing machine box under a freeway overpass on I-40, I-70, I-80, I-90 in the dead of winter. They have sold their country down the river and have helped this creature/monster from Queens, NY establish his Nazi regime. Fuck them all.

It captures and discribes the subject so perfectly. It's like what the statue of David is in sculpture but in the writen word.
Too, big mystery as to GOP senators, congress folks follow his orders. They own a "seat".. the apex of their entire life. Literally, giving it up by fighting Trump is death, loss of seat, death of career, image..etc. Hold on for 4 years..things "may" change as backlash may fall Trump..or his programs might work. Odd balls may attack their family!! God Bless ASmerica and our Brit cousins!
The writer gives one the impression of someone from an unhappy origin who has been partially educated to a point where he can be trusted to throw sticks and stones at a designated target, without thought of his own motivation or expectation of any consequences.
In my opinion he seems someone incapable or too idle to do his own research and form his own, non-conditioned, opinions.
Where is the kindness and tolerance he claims we Brits. have developed as part of our national identity?
He would be be a very useful idiot attack dog to those seeking to do a hatchet job on someone who threatens their own position or power base, and as a Brit., he certainly does not speak for me.
see this coming…..it’s a horrid rerun.
Get the fuck out of our country!
A grumpy old man in power.
Much Anger Gets Attention
The United States Supreme Court, in its infinite wisdom, in effect passed an American version of the Enabling Act in its infamous presidential immunity decision published on July 1, 2024. The decision, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, established a broad new immunity from prosecution, not just for Herr Präsident Trump, but for past and future presidents, too. Presidents may not be prosecuted for exercising their “core” constitutional powers, and even in situations where former presidents might be prosecuted after leaving office, they are entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for official actions they took as president.
So anything that Herr Präsident Trump does, be it official or not, will be declared official by der Führer so that he can literally shoot someone on 5th Avenue or Pennsylvania Ave and get away with it. The German Enabling Act of 1933 gave Adolf Hitler absolute life-and-death control over the lives of every German citizen, and the Supreme Court's decision this past July gives Führer Trump absolute life-and-death control over the lives of every American citizen.
So, all you people out there in the red states (and in some blue states too) who decided that God had anointed Herr Trump to save America, I hope you get your comeuppance. The problem is, we Never Trumpers will get whacked as well.
Willkommen in den Nazi Staaten von Amerika! Welcome to the Nazi States of America!
When historians write the history of the United States beginning from 12:01 PM on January 20, 2025, they will write of "The Reign of Terror" that began on that date. Another country experienced what has become known as "The Reign of Terror," and that was France during the French Revolution from 1789 to 1799 when things went totally crazy and an estimated 35,000 to 40,000 people lost their lives, many from the guillotine (aka The Iron Maiden):
The Reign of Terror (French: la Terreur) was a period of the French Revolution when, following the creation of the First Republic, a series of massacres and numerous public executions took place in response to revolutionary fervour, anticlerical sentiment, and accusations of treason by the Committee of Public Safety. Fasten your seat belts, kiddies!
Psychopaths are now in charge of America;s national government. The current psychopathic order of succession is President (Trump), Vice President (JD Vance) and Speaker of the House (Mike Johnson). Bad to worse to worst. Fasten your seat belts!
Trump and Muck are claiming that actors Sean Penn and Ben Stiller received millions of dollars from USAID to finance trips to Ukraine. It's a baldfaced lie. Sean and Penn paid for their trips to Ukraine OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS.
For all Americans readiing this comment: With Der Fuehrer turning America into the Fourth Reich, we can no longer believe ANYTHING that comes from the U.S. Government. Just like in Nazi Germany. Willkommen in Nazi Amerika! Welcome to Nazi America!

Agreed to give USAID a great big fuck;
For Tweedledrümpf said Tweedlemuck

Just then flew down a monstrous crow,
As black as a tar-barrel;
Which frightened both these dipshits so,
They quite forgot their quarrel.
Who are you, Donald Trump?
He's a mean little boy
Who never grew up,
And his name is Donald Trump.
He's vicious and vile
And dumb as a stump,
And his name is Donald Trump.
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH
The remaining Ukrainians plus most of the 85% of the non-Anglosphere world seem to have woken up to "Biden's" plan to finance Zelensky with enough money and clapped out weaponry to weaken Russia with no real hope of him actually winning but enough to destroy Ukraine for Corporate America's takeover, but it all went wrong and Vlad looks as if he is going to have to carry on to the Polish border and dictate peace terms thereafter
Obviously, senile Biden cannot be held to account, (although Trump did mention that when Sleepy Joe pardoned the Biden crime family for all and any future criminal charges he forgot to pardon himself), but as Biden's brain Nuland, Sullivan, Blinken and friends could be
America's backfiring sanctions that managed to deindustrialise the EU instead of Russia and destroy the American petrodollar instead of the RF economy have added to the escalating US $37 trillion debt, deficit, and interest which neither Trump's sanctions nor Musk's promised swamp-draining can reverse now that the debt is too big, the swamp is too deep and it is years too late, added to which Trump is by nature a spendthrift and splurger who will increase the debt
America's friends and foes alike are trying to distance themselves from US hegemony and the US dollar while the average American clings to the belief that some 350 million US consumers are more important to world trade than some 8 billion consumers who make up the rest of the planet, all of whom need Russian resources and Chinese manufactured goods and none of whom "need" America
At the risk of giving our pearl-clutching witty and articulate writer from England an attack of the vapours, his time and wisdom would be better directed at our own useless and utterly devoid of charm, humour, empathy and seemingly psychotic lefty half-wit of a Prime Minister's attempts to further impoverish UK taxpayers
SATAN ANOINTED TRUMP TO DESTROY AMERICA!!!!!
The author has completely missed the point - the Yanks are sick of the establishment, who have, for 4 decades, been warmongering around the world completely neglecting the domestic situation. The cities are a forlorn version of what they were 3 decades ago. In Trump they see someone outside the "swamp". Unfortunately, he is likely to be much the same as all the others.
The term”You get what you vote for” is absolutely not true.
In Israel Netanyahu treated Biden like dirt and ignored his requests regarding colateral damage, but with Trump coming to power agreed to the ceasfire.
PILE OF TOTALLY USELESS SHIT!
As an American, Trump was a personality, a character. No harm, no foul. When he decided to run for president, it was just a laugh. No one thought he’d win. He didn’t even think so.
The laugh was on us.
And now he’s back.
I no longer recognize my country. Although I am proud to say that my state soundly voted against him.
Sadly, the world will now see what they’ve wrought against themselves.
God save us all. SOS
As an American, I have to say I have to stand in amazement at the ability to do that, given he's done it without using any of the normal ways of performing such a feat, such as owning auto racing team, or losing sports team, but instead was able to do it by incredulous levels of acumen, such as running a major casino into the ground. That takes a certain skill that you must admit is... something. It's something I'd like to try myself, if only I can get someone to leave me a fortune.
I, as an American that has always hated him, have never appreciated a usage of the word "some" more than this moment. Thanks for recognizing that the majority of us don't like him.
For those who want to know why anyone voted for him, there are a few points to consider. One is that only 66% of voters voted and 51% of these voters voted for him. So, that’s what? He got 34%? - of course, like me, many feel those 33% who did not vote, gave him the election. Sad.
Now, I currently live in the south and the most bizarrely crazy reason I heard was evangelical ministers in the very rural areas were actually preaching that T was the antichrist and he will bring on the rapture… Anti-Vacciners were going to ride this pony straight over a cliff, nothing else matters. And a lot of people lost jobs and businesses from the Pandemic, and they blame Biden. But mostly it’s all about money. People think these oligarch billionaires will make more money, their pension funds will grow and investments yield high.
Our country has vast areas of low population, rural poor and uneducated who vote for the guy waving a Bible who has snake oil for sale. And these are the people who will suffer.
Sadly many like me are sick, we wake grieving and we feel like we are at our country’s funeral.
He means business and there is no place for fun and to be decent to unfaithful people to human civilization. I am sure he will create a better place for US and rest of world.
People need to remember that we voted for a president not a king. He won the popular vote by a tad. Also, 89 % of registered voters did not vote this election. So, when his cult followers say this what the American people voted for it's not true. There is a difference between being king and president.
We in the US who can read and think critically are as dumbfounded as the rest of the world and very afraid.
Your thoughts, articulated so well and nicely, echo my own thoughts precisely. I think the man is a disgrace to humanity. A despicable human being. He is not only a narcissist and a misogynist, he is a proven a liar and a cheat, not to mention being a felon, and contrary to popular opinion, a lousy businessman.
You can’t educate pork …. You can only eat it. I really feel for the remainder of the American’s who did not vote for this school yard bully that needs other millionaires to help him fight his battles 👍
Nothing new here just laid out in a sad list to read, shake one’s head, and close the article muttering 🫢🤷♀️
"Anyone here heard of White Dudes For Kamala?" ... [small cheer heard somewhere in back of audience] "It doesn't sound like it. White Dudes For Kamala, I'm not worried about them. Because their wives and their wives' lovers are all voting for me." Funny, witty, and largely true. Just one example of his impeccable timing and wit.
Many thanks....
Donald Trump so well, I agree 👏100% 😀

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

Amen.
Sanity is always eelcomed over feelings
Feelings are fleeted and sway like the wind but what will always stand is facts.
Walter Mitty land!
Simply brilliant.
We are in fear of what is coming, not just for ourselves but for those of us that will bear the brunt of his fascist policies.
Thankfully, only ~22% of our total population voted for this heinous excuse of a human.
Signed A fellow American
I am one American among many who see tRump as a stupid egotistical self-serving humbug. I just don't understand how true Americans can support this slug. He will be the downfall of our great, soon to be once, great country and we will, with the help of the cowards in Congress, be led by the wannabe dictator called tRump. How can so many people be so conned into thinking we will be better off with this dimwit in power. And don't for an instant think tRump is doing this all by himself. The power behind him is Elon Musk who pulls the strings of his puppet called tRump.
Donald Trump is the Hitler of America.
I feel your pain. But understand the British and EU are just figuring it out. That they have to start paying their own way. 👋 EU
A cook
Trump’s response to the pandemic threat was investigated by a House Select committee, in which Dr. Deborah Birx testified to Trump’s stubborn refusal to take the pandemic seriously. I’m sure you remember Dr. Birx…. She was the doctor who looked horrified when Trump suggested injecting bleach as a cure for Covid. The committee found that the Trump administration repeatedly ignored the pandemic/testing advice from TOP INFECTIOUS DISEASE EXPERTS. Dr. Birx testified that she could conveniently “go out of town” during Trump’s advisor meetings to give them cover. Furthermore, Dr. Birx stated that Trump’s committee was a “fringe group without grounding in epidemics, public health, or on the ground common sense experience.” Just who you would want to head a national health crisis response, right?
The Trump administration repeatedly blocked the CDC’s requests for public briefings for three months. They also refused a CDC request in April 2020 to hold a briefing to advise face coverings. And let’s not forget that Trump was shipping off Covid testing kits to his Russian idol while Americans couldn’t obtain the kits.
Facts are important.
Or maybe you love the idea of women being “put in their place,” with no rights, no respect, and the vulnerability of being grabbed whenever/wherever by some entitled P.O.S. like Trump or Vance because they have reduced the status of women to Stepford Wives/brood cows.
Higher health insurance? You are kidding, right? We have Obamacare now, which is a Godsend to millions of people who need affordable care. Trump has the “concept of a plan,” for the last seven years, but his petty goal for now is to destroy the Affordable Care Act because Obama’s name is on it. Trump and his mini-trumps will create a health care plan that puts more money in THEIR pockets, not yours or mine.
As far as “peace in the world” under Trump, do you consider Russian aggression under Putin to be peaceful? Do you think that with Trump’s lips so firmly planted on Putin’s backside that Russia will stop with Poland?
Trump won because there was so much false information being spread by Trump and his band of liars and cheats, from FOX News to the lowest Republican elected official. And that false information will continue as Trump becomes the dictator that he has always dreamed of being.
POTTER
At a recent rally, the orange menace entertained his diminishing flock with a story from his good old days by describing golfer Arnold Palmer’s genitalia for several minutes in very admiring terms. He also took the opportunity to play fry cook at a McDonald’s restaurant to show that he …. Hmmm…I don’t know what he thought he was proving, but it centered somehow around his bizarre claim that Kamala Harris never worked at a McDonald’s. Yep! Thats what people want to hear about, right? McDonalds, Arnold Palmer’s private parts, Hannibal Lecter, debunked lies about pet-eating illegal immigrants in Ohio, and continued disproven claims that he won the last elections?
Someone needs to put this guy in a straight jacket immediately.
I will say that on my shelf I smile with great amusement at an English sterling silver bridge market flipped to the sign “no trumps”
But I believe this man's Most Dangerous flaw, the one that affects all ...
is that He Is A Traitor!
- Inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021 that killed people and involved hunting down a Vice President as if he was an animal and after being alerted that Mr. Pence was in danger, and his President's response was "SO WHAT!". Despicable.
What should a person think when in plain sight, the world witnessed Mr. Trump stealing boxes and boxes of America's Highly Classified Documents, hiding them in his bathroom.
This wasn't light reading it included game plans for military actions with Iran, and even names and identities of US personally that would be like candy should he bargain, or barter this confidential information to our enemies.
Mr. Putin comes to mind .
in fact, whose to say he hasn't already shared this vital information.
The fact that he has now been exposed connecting with Mr. Putin Seven Times since losing the election in 2020 (which is illegal) is not only despicable but Dangerous not only to America's security but the world.
Witty jokes aside, though welcomed ...
The Serious and Most Alarming Fact is This Man Is A TRAITOR.
Those that prefer to deny this, ignore it, claim it's not true ... are part of the problem here.
Apologies, but truth here ...
Head In The Sand is Head Up The Ass.
This entire article is the epitome of TDS: Trump Derangement Syndrome. When you get all of your information about Trump from BBC News, I suspect this is the picture you'll have of him. This article is basically a long and insulting YouTube comment from a wine aunt that is chronically on Twitter. It's just non stop hate from top to bottom. The author must really think they did something really intelligent and thoughtful here.
It reminds me of the things people said in 2015 when Trump was running for President the first time. We were told repeatedly by experts and celebrities and politicians and news anchors, whole hosts of professional opinionators, that Trump would re-enslave the black people, that he would start a nuclear war, that he was "literally Hitler", that he would destroy America and destroy the world. Many celebrities assured us they would leave America if Trump won (they didn't). Even today, you have a comically deranged Robert DeNiro screaming into a microphone "First Trump will destroy America, then he will destroy the world!" - an exact quote! Do you think that? It's crazy to me that people genuinely believed that first time, and genuinely still believe it again! Those same professionals assured us all of the certainty that there would be multiple Hitler-esque Holocausts in America within the first year of this Presidency. Where does this hatred for Trump come from?
It became immediately obvious when I read the racist insult "fat white slug" - yep, they managed to also make it about the leftist racial hierarchy. I felt I knew it was coming up, racist leftists seem to make every attempt to make absolutely every iota of political opinion and even culture all about their racial beliefs. Sorry I'm just not really buying into your ethnicity ideologies! People are people to me! I don't buy into your racial hatreds!! Stop hating people for their colour please!
The author seems to not only have a deep disdain, or even a hint of hatred, for 50% of the US population that vote for him, but seems to think Trump lacks all of those aforementioned qualities - how do you become the US President if you have no wisdom? How do you achieve what he did even before the Presidency if you have no credibility? How do you have every New York rapper rapping about you if you have no coolness? How do you have a theatre filled with hateful Democrats laugh heartily (as did Hilary!) if you have no wit or humour? How do you command the respect of so many servicemen and servicewomen if you have no honour? How did he successfully flip decades-old Democrat allegiances with Unions and Firefighters if he he's "just a troll" and nothing else? What profoundly insulting and denigrating things are you saying about those Americans?
Is the author implying they're thick, deluded, insane, racist, pure evil, a mixture of all of it? There's tens of millions of good and informed Americans that might not even necessarily disagree with some of the puerile insults in this "article" but much prefer Trump's America over Biden or Bush's or potentially Harris's America. Some people will take mean tweets over unaffordable groceries. Forgive them this crime Nate! Maybe they're just not buying the BS second time round!!
Frankly, I can see why there are some chronically online leftists who have attempted to murder Ivanka's husband, Barrons dad, Donald. A father and a husband, nearly murdered, because hate rhetoric like this justifies action like this every day. I can see why those female hosts of The View laughed at Ivanka for her short publication following the near murder of her husband - they must have so much hate for Trump that they want him to be killed. And i feel the author is probably very sympathetic to those incel would-be assassins. How crazy that within my lifetime, the left lost its compassion and humility and love, and is left only with hate.
TRUMP IS A BAFFOON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your spot-on description of a 34-count felon who (embarrassingly) is running for POTUS again
We are extremely dismayed with the intolerable bunch that continue to lap up his every word, appearing to us that we share this country with some folks that have the discernment of Gnats.
We are left shaking our heads, as we know the rest of the World joins us in disbelief & utter disgust .
Let the Gate hit him hard on his way out !
You're put everything I've felt about Trump since the 1980s into one article.
Proof: there can be no doubt that Trump’s plan to launch a worldwide tariff war on all imported goods with up to 60% tariffs on Chinese imports alone, coupled with deporting 11 + million immigrants (8%+ of US work force, would trigger late 1930’s style German hyperinflation along with severe labor and food shortages, stock market crash and economic collapse.
Further, abandoning Ukraine and NATO will embolden Putin to commit further aggression. Poland, France and UK and all of NATO still bear the scars of WWII and will NEVER cede Ukraine to Putin. Therefore, Trump’s surrender to Putin will no doubt trigger WWIII.
Another Trump Presidency (God forbid) guarantees economic depression and world war. Consequently, Trump leaves no doubt amongst sentient beings via his own words and deeds that he is a creature from the underworld of darkness and despair whose goal is nothing more or less than worldwide Armageddon !
That should have been the author’s summation.
I can't speak for every free-thinking American but 5 minutes of Fox News gives me a migraine from all the cognitive dissonance.
Every day, I am freshly astounded that more of my fellow Americans can't see how shallow he is. Even if he shares your politics, can't you see that he's complete fraud? How can you miss it?
He is absolutely shameless, and he is getting worse every day. Of course, Trump will say it is all “fake news,” as he does about every bit of news he doesn’t like. He thinks all women are really that stupid.
As a naturalized American, I can tell you that most of us see him for what he is, a conman being used by the local Christo-fascist minority and oligarchs. The culmination of 40 yrs of conservative political strategy to leverage our democratic system’s protection of minorities, the Electoral College, to have their religion take over our secular state. The good news is this is the best they got.
Pardon the mess. We are working to get rid of him; he will not win.
He was betrayed and he and two colleagues and a typesetter disappeared on Jan
23rd , 1943 never to be seen again. So, I know what the plan is for the next four years , if he gets in. Too many Americans do not see tgethreat he poses to the democratic Republic of America.
The American media treats Trump like a normal candidate, promoting endless false equivalencies to camouflage their motives for not rejecting him unilaterally as the adjudicated sex offender & convicted felon that he is.
Another scary thing: until we abolish the Electoral College, we will continue to be ruled by people who did not win the popular vote. (For more info on this and all things political I heartily recommend watching Dr. Heather Cox Richardson's "Politics Chat" on Tuesday nights. She's calm, brilliant, accessible, and ethical. In her career as a history professor she puts things in perspective so now I can learn a lot (including unpalatable truths) without coming all undone. Good luck to us all.
I have waited EIGHT years for someone to write this. Ever since that @$$#0/€ shoved other world leaders aside at the NATO summit in 2017, I have waited for someone in Europe to pen ANYTHING to throw #theorangegasbag under the bus! Every journalist and writer in the same world needs to start pelting #thatfucker with articles telling the truth, and also what it means for Europe and the rest of the world. Thank you. The man is a monster and needs to go away. Otherwise, start looking for American expats headed your way...
This article is wonderfully accurate. As trump's complete mental collapse becomes more evident, even his cult members might get a clue.
That's it.
Those of us Americans that are pious, self confident, honorable, responsible, intelligent, educated or cultured totally disassociate with that filthy animal and are embarrassed of his every word. We apologize world.
That outrageous claim had already been debunked, not only by the authorities in Springfield, but by the originator of the post that started the whole farce, yet Trump demonstrated how incapable he is of telling the truth, and repeated it to the 60 million who watched the debate. Guess who ate it up? His MAGA supporters! As a direct result of Trump’s unhinged comments, innocent people in Springfield have been threatened, property has been destroyed, and Trump continues to go unpunished. He needs to be locked up.
What kind of person could possibly see Trump as presidential material? His deliberate mispronunciation of names is reminiscent of the eight-year-old children I had in my classroom. He is still doing it! Is that a leader of a respected nation? What about that insane right-wing groupie that is currently hanging on his arm instead of his wife? Laura Loomer, the far right hate-speech activist who is as insane as Trump is.
The GOP created this monster, and they have lost any shred of credibility they once had.

“ look on your own back yard” is sad commentary on how critical thinking has been stymied in a world where millions can idolise such a tragically and fatally flawed .. not to say dangerous false prophet .
I don’t think anyone could have described him more thoroughly and accurately.
Law is being created for people like you writing BS!!
Trust me, there are plenty of Yanks like me who regard their red-hatted neighbors with befuddlement and contempt.
How can anyone trust a person who never cracks a smile. That crinkling up of the skin around the eyes coupled with a softening of the expression of the lips tells the world "I am open."
He is closed. And has been for decades.
President Trump was the only president that did his job free for the American people!! Even Democrats are jumping ship because of Harris/Walz!! Democrats are getting tried of the witch hunt against President Trump!! Democrats has wasted over 8 years taxpayers money on the witch hunt!!
Democrats are NOT jumping the Harris/Walz ship. Maybe you are confused with the Trump/Vance sinking ship. Have you seen the list of prominent Republicans who are voting Democrat this year?
Long live King Charles!
Are these people still getting around on all fours?
Trump’s lies are out of control now.
Why Voting for Trump is Indefensible: Reason #4
Because his patriotism is as fake and transactional as an NFT monkey.
He hugs our flag while flattering our enemies. He puts on a nice show in public during the national anthem (and commits stochastic terrorism on anyone who doesn’t), while in private he calls our fallen soldiers “suckers” and “losers” (this fact has been confirmed multiple times, by multiple sources). He sells “Make America Great Again” merch made in China. He salutes North Korean generals, but verbally assaults our Gold Star families.
He undermined a free and fair election, enlisted fraudulent electors, and inspired an attack on our capitol. While losing every election case, and proving none of his claims in court, he called for “the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution” in his efforts to hold onto power.
A few days ago, he described the Medal of Freedom, a ceremonial/civilian honor, that he gave to his biggest donor, as “equivalent” and “much better than” the Medal of Honor, awarded for bravery in combat. “It's actually much better because everyone gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they're soldiers. They're either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they are dead. She gets it and she's a healthy, beautiful woman.”
He received five draft deferments, four for education (common) and one for a make-believe injury, sending another American off to Vietnam in his stead. In a 1997 interview with Howard Stern, he compared vaginas to landmines and called himself “a great and very brave solider” for avoiding STDs. Then he had the gall to disparage actual vets and POWs like John McCain.
Avoiding military service runs in his family. His brothel-owning paternal grandfather fled Germany to avoid conscription, and later had his (German) citizenship revoked when he fled back to Germany to avoid serving in the U.S. The Trump family has been in this country for well over a century and NONE of them have served in wartime or peace. Donald Trump is, in fact, the only president in history who provided ZERO public or military service prior to sitting in Oval Office.
Most former presidents have participated in additional public service after their terms. As far as I can tell, Trump has done nothing of the sort. Instead, he just continued poisoning the well and prolonging the con.
He has always been disrespectful and dishonest, but now he is demented. He’s also a convicted felon. He and his family stole from a children's cancer charity, ran a fraudulent university, and cheated untold numbers of contractors out of their hard earned pay. He quite famously cheats at golf, cheats on his taxes, and cheats on his wives. I would be hard pressed to name someone with less honor.
This is what General John Kelly, his longest serving Chief of Staff, said last year about his former boss. “What can I add that has not already been said?... A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them.’ A person that did not want to be seen in the presence of military amputees because ‘it doesn’t look good for me.’ A person who demonstrated open contempt for a Gold Star family – for all Gold Star families – on TV during the 2016 campaign, and rants that our most precious heroes who gave their lives in America’s defense are ‘losers’ and wouldn’t visit their graves in France.”
This is the person you want to lead our country?
Thank you
A LIAR - THE LATTER A PARTICULARLY HORRENDOUS CHARACTERISTIC WHEN YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT HIM EVER EVER EVER GETTING BACK TO THE PRESIDENCY. PLEASE GOD - DO NOT LET HIM WIN THIS ELECTION. HONESTLY, IF HE DOES,
THE FUTURE OF AMERICA WOULD BE IN REAL JEOPARDY.
What Bull crap 🥷
I am praying that there are enough Americans with some sense that will vote him OUT!
He should have never been president to begin with.
And of course, the sycophant MAGA cult think we, outside of the USA, have no right to voice an opinion...
However, trump being a threat to democracy not only in the USA but the entire world, gives us EVERY RIGHT to be wary of this racist, fascist autocrat!
Please America, VOTE DEMOCRACY OVER AUTOCRACY in Nov 2024!💙🇮🇪🏴🇺🇦🇺🇲💙
and no one, British or other can accept or forgive a coward, unless he/she is one
“ a man was in a car accident a few years ago and he had amnesia He finally came out of it and it happened to be a day after the elections. of course he want to know if he miss anything in last couple of years so his friend put his arms around him and said you’re not gonna believe what happened”
I don’t remember anything. Did I miss something? His friend says to him you’re not gonna believe what happened”
beautifully written article. Well done. Also being an American I can say “spot on”. As to why 1/3 of the people like him - look to Lenny Swift’s comment.
There are a billion more in EU, US, ZA and S. America.
What has happened to Britain? Never visiting there again. It is destroyed.
"he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump."
Now God help us.
Maybe, I can get some of the lizard people I know to read it and they can share it with their people on their home planet and when it is their turn to take over a corporate big wig or, politician - they will remember your words.
Llewelyn ( Wales UK )
Trump is such an embarrassment.
Thank You Nate and Thank you Britain for your insights, values and support.
And THANK YOU John for sharing it with us.
from an American in the 2/3 of the population. Trump is everything you said
Or is he Humpty-Trumpty?
Hate to stoop to name-calling, but it's kinda fun to play his game just once . . .
By November 6, 2024 let us hope his name will only be spoken as a has been
GOP no longer Grand. Now Trump Party (TP)
"Trump followers crave to BELONG to something bigger than their small lives - belonging to the Trump cult is big for them.
It makes them feel heard!"
I said to an esteemed psychologist I know that Trump is a classic Narcissist of the Grandiose type. He corrected me - Trump is a Malevolent Narcissist, he said - meaning he doesn't just want to win, he wants to make the other suffer.
#2.
Trump followers crave to BELONG to something bigger that their small lives - belonging to the Trump cult is big for them.
It makes them feel heard!
Like you Nate, I continue to be baffled by how somewhat normal regular even educated voters can continue to support this soulless slug of a human. You clarified that question for me. Again, thank you for the belly laughs!
Mr. White not only shares his splendid writing with his American cousins, but has also described the disaster of Donald Trump with precision. Of all the ink spilled about this creature, Mr. White’s description wins my personal gold medal.
He is actually worse than that
Please don't think all Americans approve of him, and his antics; we don't. Those of us, with common sense, and decency greatly fear what life will be like, in the US, if he is elected to another term, as President!
I want a President I can trust to do what is right for our country, not just what enriches HIMSELF. I want a president who hasn’t racked up more than 30,000 documented lies during his presidency. I want a president who doesn’t admire dictators, such as Putin or Kim Jung Un. I want a president who cares about the rights of women and minorities. I want a president who selects a vice-president based on experience, intelligence, and compassion for others, not for his willingness to kiss his arse. I want a president who doesn’t blame EVERYONE else for his failures. I want a president who doesn’t act like a 10-year-old child.
Recently visited the Cotswold’s and was nicely accosted by an English couple who said “You’re an American! What do you think of Trump?” Once I responded with a thumbs down, boy did they unload. “Think of the rest of the world” they pleaded. I literally asked them to pray for America. I hope that couple along with most every other sensible thinking person is feeling a bit more hopeful as things do seem to be looking up.
We folks from the USA’s Pacific Northwest region, thank you for your terse, yet uncannily accurate description of DJT (or Orange Jesus as some call him.)
I for one choose to look at this from Trumps perspective or in other words, a “childish approach”. Therefore, let me start as Trump might, by stealing from 1980’s author Robert Fulghum:
“Everything I Ever Needed to Know About Trump I Learned in Kindergarten:”
Top Ten:
*Young vs. Old
*Past vs. Tomorrow
*Happy vs. Angry
*Honest vs. Dishonest
*Law Abiding vs. Convicted Felon, Financial Fraud/Cheater & Rapist
*Coherent vs. Confused
*Public Servant vs. Selfish, Narcissistic, Pariah
*Intelligent vs. Demented, Delusional, Moron
*Extremely Competent vs. Incompetent and TRULY Unfit for Office
And last but not least…
*GOOD vs. EVIL and we must include PETTY and CRUEL
This observation was inspired from a comment made on August 13th 2024 by Donny Deutsch on Nicole Wallace’s MSNBC show “Deadline Whitehouse”.
Six measures to clean up the corruption and special interest collusion in Washington, DC:
FIRST, propose a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress.
SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce the federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health).
THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated.
FOURTH, a five-year ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service.
FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.
SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.
Seven actions to protect American workers:
FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205.
SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
THIRD, I will direct the Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator.
FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately.
FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars’ worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.
SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward.
SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America’s water and environmental infrastructure.
Five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:
FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama.
SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution.
THIRD, cancel all federal funding to sanctuary cities.
FOURTH, begin removing the more than two million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back.
FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered “extreme vetting.”[1]
”
—President Donald Trump[2]
In the contract, Trump also said that he would "work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration":
“
Middle Class Tax Relief and Simplification Act
An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with two children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from seven to three, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35% to 15%, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10% rate.
End the Offshoring Act
Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.
American Energy and Infrastructure Act
Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over ten years. It is revenue neutral.
School Choice and Education Opportunity Act
Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends Common Core and brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and makes two- and four year college more affordable.
Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act
Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act
Allows Americans to deduct childcare and eldercare from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-site childcare services and creates tax-free dependent care savings accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.
End Illegal Immigration Act
Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country of Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a two-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a five-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.
Restoring Community Safety Act

“Clean up corruption” lolol
You must think dictators are good. 😂😂
*an act of speaking one's thoughts aloud when by oneself or regardless of any hearers.
An incredibly accurate regurgitation of this crass individual. Praying he doesn’t slither into the Oval Office again or the USA and its democracy are doomed. I was born in England. I will swim back if “it” gets re-elected!
but until we are way far ahead in the polls I won't laugh, only tremble.
..
I await your 2nd chapter !
Hopefully, Americans will do the right thing in November. Our Democracy depends on it.
I guess you missed the heading: British Writer Pens The Best Description Of Trump I’ve Read
He did nothing for the American people except the uber rich. Murder was higher under him. Our respect in the world was much less. Biden/Harris have gotten our respect back in the world. Higher prices thanks to corporate gouging. Look at their revord profits. Z needs to go back under the rock he is living under
Thankfully the economy has shown strong improvement and people are getting back to work and living again, more oil production than ever and the executives and shareholders are still in their “happy place”. some of us with health issues see health/medication care improvement. So I would think many are doing better!
Americans have lived by rule of law and a Constitution for over 200 years which has welcomed immigrants looking forward to the American dream and has been respected by most countries. So, I think we do better when adults refrain from acting like spoiled bullies with selfish intent and do what is best for America not taking away our way of live as we know it. Who among us think someone is “crazy” because of the way or how much you laugh! REALLY? I wish someone could explain what has happened to the Grand OLD Party?
He is the best at being the worst on so many scales, more scales than anyone else.
And in sharing his bigly quality of being best at being the worst, he is a great exemplar for the third or so of our population here in the USA who also seem to aspire at being the worst they can be. Trump inspires them and he gives them permission and encouragement to be their own disgusting selves. They don't love Trump – nobody does, not even Trump himself. They do love, with greed, any and all validation they can perceive for their rudest, crudest, nastiest inclinations and proclivities and for the full expression thereof. In other words they are using him, just as he has been using them. They have a deadly symbiotic relationship that is totally opportunistic and transactional.
Hidden within Trump and his diehard follower-supporters, even while being dramatically and disgustingly exposed outwardly, is the fact they are all suffering from a severe or total lack of heart-quality development. They are entirely inspired, motivated and guided by the mind-games they play. And they all want to play for keeps and play rough to win at any cost, even the cost of their souls.
A mind can choose to believe and act on anything it might become attached to. And a mind can justify for itself anything it might have become attached to. Therefore, Trump and his supporters are unable to see anything wrong or inappropriate with anything they have come to believe or anything they have done or might do. And this is why they can be so dangerous and destructive. They constantly chant FREEDOM and RIGHTS. For them, this means their freedom and rights to do as they please without any regard for any consequences of their actions. Their only goal is to get ahead, personally. It matters not who gets left behind or how or even if they survive.
Our great Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz, has called them, the MAGAs, weird. This is because everything the MAGAs do feels weird to anyone with any significant development of heart-quality. "Weird" non-specifically covers all of the manifestations of anyone who lacks heart-quality. This includes the inability to laugh a true, deep, heart-felt laugh at one's own self and to laugh *with* others rather than *at* them.
We the People, here in the great USA, along with People anywhere and everywhere in the World, desperately need more heart-quality in our lives, especially in our elected leaders. It is at heart-level where we are all interconnected and interdependent, where we are truly all one, all in this Life together. Mind-games are what divide and separate us. Only the Love experienced through heart-quality truly brings us together and unites us in a harmoniously cooperative wholeness that is sustainable so we can not only survive but also thrive ... together.
Your article is appalling.
I agree 100%, but no comment is worthy of this incredibly accurate discription. Nate White represents the British humor, refined, dry and understated., hilarious in good taste.
As an American, I will add: This is what happens when governments/leaders try to damage the education system. Republicans want our education to be poor, so that citizens grow up to be stupid. They have been working on damaging America's educational system for decades. One chip at a time... You see the evidence of this most in our southern states, because they constantly elect Republicans. The poorly educated will be easier to control and are more likely to believe politicians' lies. What you are seeing is a severe decrease in the critical thinking skills in a third of the American people. The rest of us are lucky enough to have critical thinking skills. Plus, I do have to say that a 2nd thing I am noticing in Trump supporters is that they seem to be the narcissists among our population. This type of personality disorder is attracted to Trump and these MAGA ideas.
A lot of Americans are very gullible, easy to fool. Americans are very spoiled too. They are constantly looking for “something for nothing”! A lot of Americans are very lazy too. Many of them have “the drive thru lane” mentality of life. These same Americans do not appreciate what their forefathers and foremothers went thru to have what they currently have. And yet, they are willing to accept the fake, empty words of a “carnival barker” at face value !! I call that LAZY & STUPID on their part. People like trump want to turn America into another Russia, it North Korea, China, and throw away all that the forefathers created for us !
Kudos to Nate White for his artful and, one might say, to kind take down of our Great Orange Turd.

Only 13 Presidents failed to get re-elected.
Only 5 Presidents failed to win the popular vote.
Only 4 Presidents have been impeached or resigned.
Only 1 President has ever been criminally convicted.
**And only ONE President has done ALL FOUR**.
We are as confused and dismayed as everyone else at our countrymen who seem to eat up his nonsense.
Nothing would make us more happy and proud than to see him and his sycophants pounded into dust and forgotten.
This is the correct description of Trump…when it comes to racism, Americans are NOT nicer that Brits, that’s his constituency. Most of us were shocked there were so many racists still out there, but he ended up in office thanks to our little Constitutional issue of the electoral college. Be grateful you don’t have one.
(I can’t even bring myself to call him a person) thing - having any control over our future as a country!! We value equality, decency, respect and care for one another. We sane Americans need your support Britain! We love you and don’t want you to lose hope or faith in us.
He and his pals are evil and selfish, so go ahead and elect him president and destroy this country. We are free right now. You people that want your guns, what for? You don't need automatic weapons to hunt. Why do you want them? Haven't there been enough school shootings, mass killings at grocery stores and concerts? How can any real American even think about this man as our president. I abhor the senators and congressmen that have allowed this man to brain wash them with all his false lies and promises. Oh I forgot he will take care if you once he is in office. If you really believe that your are in much more peril than you can think of. He is selfish and evil, a horrid combination. Keep the USA free!!!! Please for the grace of GOD do not elect him as president. I am 75 years old and never really belonged to any party. I tried to listen to the candidates and used my own brain and vote for whom I thought had my interests at heart. No one will please everyone but if they really believe in most of what you believe then you must try to trust them. Trump believes he is the one all and know all. He has no heart and no soul!! He corrupt and evil, he belongs in jail, not on the ballot for President of the United State of America. Please make sure that he never makes it to the White House again. Evil, evil evil!!! He is a deplorable human being!!!
“A schmuck with ears”
It’s true he’s a schmuck, but he’s a schmuck with 1 and 7/8ths ears.
It really boils down to a left v right issue. America has unfortunately become very woke with the Democrats becoming more Marxist, so anyone such as Trump who challenges them is at risk.
Obama introduced the racial angle & Biden has been a pawn of the left led by Obama. Harris would take the US further left, is that what people want?
I think that even at his age that Trump is mellowing & that he just had to show up to beat his opponents. However, given the lefts fear of him, I doubt whether there will be an election this year!
The news was all about poor “old man Biden” and and his rapid mental decline/. approaching senility.
Never did hear or read about the danger of a having a psychopathic president.
There are certainly those who are aware of this. Why is it that no one will challenge the the lunatic.
“Old Man Biden” is still cognitively sound; just negotiated the release of innocent prisoners held in Russian prisoners!
Please organize and let the whole know that
Trump is dangerously insane. Most know this. What is the world afraid of?
It is this, which accounts for their urge to have a hero to"fix" things for them.
Orange Adolph is just more of the last Adolph.
Trump is not smart enough to govern the United States. The country will be run by much more intelligent criminals. However, Trump will still have his finger on the trigger of the most dangerous military in the world. Trump may need his wall on the Southern and Northern borders to stem the flow of emigration.
"I don't care how, but you have to get out and vote and again," he added. "Christians, get out and vote just this time. You won't have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what? It will be fixed. It will be fine. You won't have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians."
This man-child is becoming more and more unhinged every day. He wants to take away women’s rights and voters’ rights, and that’s just for starters.
And add two reference works: "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism", by Tim Alberta, Investigative journalist; and "Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America", by Nancy MacLean, Distinguished professor of History and Public Policy, Duke University.
You were able to put into words, exactly what I had been thinking for years. I had been trying to find a tiny glimmer of decency in the guy, but I gave up. It just isn't there.
But in the meantime, enjoy those repeated Hannible Lechter jokes, and the repeated boat story about the shark, and all the lies about the things he did while in office, and how he “won’” the 2020 election, while ignoring all the research that says otherwise. Absolutely insane and delusional, and his supporters pathetically try to deflect it all back on Joe Biden. At least Biden is surrounded by good people and a supportive, loving wife. Trump, a felon himself, is surrounded by felons and fools, and his wife obviously can’t stand him.
You ask, "Why can't we be told the whole truth and nothing but the truth?" I will answer with, "Why can't you believe the truth when it is told to you?"
I just want your vote. Told black people, you're the worst. Your neighborhoods, education, finances are terrible. You can't get a loan to buy home. What do you have to lose? Um, whatever freedoms people died for? Thank you for so eloquently and accurately describing trump and his basketful of deplorables. As we crudely say in America - you nailed it!
Trump is counting on the willful ignorance of the MAGAt voters.
I can’t stop laughing because your uplifting description of Trump, with examples, is exactly my thinking! It is beyond comprehension how that man is being allowed to run again for President of the United States? Everything about him is disgracefully wrong. Trump belongs in prison. I’m flabbergasted by how many of my friends, family, clients and business associates love him to pieces and plan to vote him back into office! Seriously, NO, NO and NO, followed by NO!
by the loyalty and affection the Maga crowd for Trump. Especially the Christian
Followers, how can they possibly embrace a man who reeks of mortal sin? We hope to prevail in the next election, because if we do not there will be no more United States of America as we know it today💙🇺🇸
And don't say we weren't at war, because how was it possible for our soldiers to die over in Nigeria, Africa, of which most Americans didn't even know that they were over there and from January 20, 2017 to January 20, 2021, under his watch, there were 45 combat deaths among U.S. service members reported in Afghanistan, as well as 18 “non-hostile” deaths, under his watch.
Not to mention all the demonstrations, riots, and Americans dying and beng injured on the streets of America, with Trump ordering the cops to shoot Americans, while he stood in a church, he does not attend, holding a Bible he's never read upside down.
Let's not forget January 6th when he did absolutely nothing to stop members of Congress from being attacked, cops being attacked, and people dying because he didn't want to give up the presidency like every president before him. So his deranged basket of deplorables attacked even his own vice president while he ate hamburgers and watched it on TV.
Or the hundreds of thousands of people who died of covid under his watch. However when he caught covid he made sure, on our taxpayer dime, that he got the absolute best care possible, while we were piling dead Americans in freezer trucks outside of hospitals because we were so overwhelmed with covid deaths.
You can't tell us differently, because we were all here and we witnessed his disaster of a presidency go down.
And it was just for the reasons described in this article! The most disinterested, except for what he could scam for himself, unqualified, ignorant, useless President we have ever had. Even Nixon looks like an angel next to him!
Donald Trump is now "The Shakespeare of Shit"
statement on the party agenda and platform.
Is Biden a serial womanizer who cheats on his wife, or in Trump’s case, all THREE of his wives?
Does Biden have secret meetings with dictators, or say that he admires those dictators?
Did Biden show disrespect for Queen Elizabeth by lumbering along in front of her like a loutish bully?
Does Biden surround himself with dishonest sycophants who don’t have the guts to stand up to him?
Does Biden show blatant disrespect to those brave men and women who have given their lives for our country, calling them “losers”?
Did Biden steal top secret documents, show them off at parties, stash them in a bathroom, and refuse to give them back when ordered to do?
Did Biden take a Sharpie and alter a national weather map because he didn’t want to be wrong about the states included in the warning?
Was it Biden who tried to stage a coup in order to remain in power after an election loss?
Does Biden have 88 criminal indictments?
Did Biden ignore critical warnings about Covid and suggest injecting bleach or a shot of horse paste as a cure?
I think we already know what Trump’s platform is: Set himself up as a dictator and remain in power. Deny voting rights to those who might vote against him. Deny all rights to women. Align himself with other dictators. Raise taxes on the middle class and lower taxes on the wealthy. Give himself ultimate power over everyone.
Jerry, Trump is running on his own personal platform: REVENGE, and keeping himself out of jail. There are none so blind as a Trump supporter. To compare Biden to Trump is absolutely absurd, but I see comments such as yours every day. Deflect, deflect, deflect.
Is Biden perfect? Of course not. Nobody is saying that he is, but at least he has good people around him, who will guide him when he needs it. We are only now hearing from Trump’s staff about how terrible he was to work with.
As a lifelong hardworking LAW ABIDING TAXPAYERS are the ones being held hostage, SCREWED, by allowing trumps vortex, saga suck the air out of our daily lifes. Government is CODDLING, PAMPERING the wealthy ( specifically trump), in plain sight, disgusting, no JUSTICE, NO ACCOUNTABILITY is infuriating, IRRITATING to TAXPAYERS like me. It’s clear trumps past history, Court Records of numerous Sexual Rapes, of boys & girls preferred (9-14). All documented in court records prior to ALLOWING trump to step into the White House, as pseudo president. Now trump CRIMINAL, SERIAL RAPIST, with 91 indictments is wrong, mistake and dangerous for America to allow trump into possible president again, our Democracy and Freedoms will end💣☠️💣
American government is NOT ADDRESSING THESE BILLIONAIRE GLUTTONY abuses, that is threatening our 2024 election. MUST review PROJECT 2025, NO LABEL & trump’s REVENGE plan AGENDA 47, Don’t forget ELIMINATE FILIBUSTER & ELECTORAL College, this is a free pass for republicans to win 💣☠️💣
Fact is trump Greene’s leader is an official rapist, PEDOPHILE has extensive history since 1980’s of paying MILLIONS to SILENCE children & their families, listed here, interesting that Lisi Stahl DIDN’T mention these facts!
These are a few of the innocent boys and girls ages 9-14 (that’s his preference), your pseudo evil racist RAPIST dangerous PEDOPHILE president 45 in name only HAS SODOMIZED, RAPED AND PAID MILLIONS TO KEEP sexual abused children & their families SILENT.
11 years Charles. Was Pd $3 million

It’s a fact we have a Pedophile and rapist in the White House pseudo racist president 45! There are surely MORE VICTIMS.

While Nate White's critique of President Trump may resonate with some, it is important to acknowledge that opinions on political figures vary widely, both within and outside the United States. Firstly, attributing specific qualities like class, charm, or wit to a leader is subjective and may not universally define their effectiveness. President Trump's direct and sometimes controversial style may not align with traditional British sensibilities, but it does appeal to a significant portion of the American electorate who value straight-talking and anti-establishment rhetoric.
Furthermore, labeling President Trump as lacking in humor or wit overlooks the fact that humor is culturally specific and what may be seen as humorless to one audience could be perceived differently by another. Additionally, focusing solely on President Trump's persona overlooks the policies and actions of his administration, which garnered support from many Americans who felt overlooked by previous administrations.
It's also worth noting that characterizing all Americans who support President Trump as lacking in discernment or decency is unfair and dismissive. Political preferences are complex and influenced by a multitude of factors beyond just personality traits.
While criticism of political figures is natural and necessary in a democratic society, it's essential to engage in constructive dialogue rather than resorting to sweeping generalizations and insults. Constructive criticism can lead to meaningful discourse and potentially bridge divides, whereas personal attacks only serve to deepen polarization and hinder progress.
No, seriously, we could use an hour straight of this, just head-on. Everyone is convinced they have to come at this piece of shit sideways.
A charismatic demagogue...so very very dangerous, as history repeatedly shows. His popularity says more about the people who will vote for him than it does about him. That is what terrifies and shames me most.
Why are you ashamed of the article?
There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers. Proverbs 6:16-19
Lord help us. 🙏
The last thing we, as a global people need, is further division.
I was thinking of Sherlock Holmes as a British hero.
But I can't help but think how the British still are enslaved and in turn have enslaved a goodly portion of the rest of the world.
Independence from Britain is one of the most internationally celebrated holidays around the world.
Bravo!
This article is pure poetry. Thank you for a brilliant description of the Orange Shit Stain. Fingers crossed and prayers up he loses.
I could not understand his cult admiring him & claiming he is a good business man. To the point of running 3 casinos to bankruptcy.
He is an egotistical idiot who was always bailed out by daddy Fred. And taught how to fight dirty by Roy Cohn.
Do not understand how anyone supports this buffoon.
I want the America back that I knew growing up!
But the latter comment perfectly explains the Trump voter: alienated from the present and longing for a past that no longer exists—and likely never existed.
Because while in your mind, the America of the past was idyllic, I guarantee you that the America you want really sucked for some other people: LGBTQ+ folks, Hispanics, Blacks, Jews, women, Catholics, Irish, etc., etc. The farther back you go, the more you can be guaranteed that more and more groups are added to the list of those against whom the system was biased and discriminatory. But yes, let's all get in a Time Machine so that you can enjoy your nostalgia-influenced vision of America and do so at the expense of all those who struggled to make America the country that it is.
I am a Canadian and we're supposed to be nice but, I've never listened to or seen a buffoon like Trump.
Please use your heads when you vote for, if he gets in... it will likely be the last vote.
He ia nothing more than a blonde Hitler without the stash.
For gods sake... please think before you vote!!!!
Nate White you nailed it to a T..I have been asking myself that question since the 80’s.
Jim from too near mar-a-Lago.
Trump will triumph - the clue's in the name.
"He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart."
I have always doubted the 1/3 of us number, but that’s likely wishful thinking! Hopefully we’re on our way to getting rid of him for good! Next, we rebuild!
Thanks for the article!
As someone from the U.S. I want to say thank you for your accurate analysis of our problem here. This is the kind of reporting that is lacking here. Thank you for showing how its done.
Well.
There you have it.
I loved to do pen-and-paper roleplaying, reading fantasy and science-fiction literature, so I know there are other worlds where things are and run different then in our Reality.
But, some are not capable or willing to make that distinction. Cults work by disconnecting people from Reality - like ‘Game Masters’ - but then somehow manage to convince them that the fascinating and often entertaining stories they tell their followers that those made-up stories ARE REALITY.
And then, you get people like that.
You have exactly captured the essence of Trumpty Dumpty.
Now, do Americans. (We aren't nicer than you.)
Well done, sir.
“None of you LIVE here”? Huh?? Clearly you haven’t actually read these responses. I read yours, and I honestly can’t find one actual FACT there. Seriously, this insane babbling is eerily similar to Donald Trump’s deranged posts. No facts. Just lies.
A better use for TDS, or Trump Derangement Syndrome, would be to use it as a label for folks, such as yourself, who refuse to believe that Trump is anything but a lying, cheating, grifting, lecherous, senile, creepy old conman. You refuse to fact check ANYTHING he says, and therefore making yourself look foolish. He surrounds himself with liars, cheaters, grifters, and mental midgets who tell him he’s a smart, handsome, and a real stud of a man. Sickening.
Ask yourself this, David…. How many of Trump’s cronies are in jail, or awaiting jail? Does that sound like a man who has good people around him? Why won’t banks loan him money? Why doesn’t he have the willpower to shut his mouth instead of racking up further fines and penalties? Does he sound like a world leader to you? Would a world leader retweet an image of President Biden, bound and gagged, in the back of a pickup truck? That’s the kind of juvenile mentality you think deserves to be president again?
Masterfully done, Mr. White.
He’s a complete arse!
Most democrats don’t look at who has done more for USA and world. He is the only president after several presidents who did not have war in 4 years he was president Good relationship with most world leaders even if they don’t agree in many areas in USA lower income people did well. He was liked by more Africans, Latinos and other minorities than other republican presidents Border was relatively secured good economy. Covid derailed him otherwise he would still be our president
Maybe you should stop watching Fox News.
My hope is we will eventually use this period in our history to strengthen our Constitution, laws, and future zeitgeist to guard against this horrible assault on our representative democracy. Perhaps transitioning out of this assault from hell will make us the paradigm of decency in government.
We have to.
This is someone who wants to impose their upbringing and way of life and belief system on Trump and anyone else who doesn’t fit their mould.
Unfortunately Trump nor half of the American population doesn’t care.
Ppl like Nate couldn’t find one single good in Trump and this only underscores their profound biases.
Trump will win again despite Whites nasty politics and opinions.
Perhaps your research should extend beyond FOX News, Breitbart, Alex Jones, and other right wing “news” sites.
as for UK, raised in the Brit educational system in 2 continents & later college in London 4 yrs & there is a reason I live in & love America that those applauding this childish insipid article will never understand. Not my problem. Calling Trump a white slug, really that is his competence as a writer, wow! Banal insipid comments, no time time for it. You folks want to really learn about facts then follow Laura Ingrim, Hannity, Tucker Carlson, folks that only share info with corroborating facts !!
Trump did practically nothing of any value, zip, nada. All he did was hurt the people you hate, and build a fraction of a wall on our tax dollars that he’d promised you Mexico would pay for. I have friends who supported Trump in 2016, but none who supported him in 2020. Because you have to be stupid. And I don’t say that hyperbolically; I mean it literally. You are stupid. And to see someone as stupid as you trying to put down a preeminent master with your folly, topped off with clueless ignorance of the track record of the source you put forth as an authority? Now I’ve seen everything.
And to laughably call those three horrendous Trump-asskissers capable of presenting actual “facts” is absolutely ridiculous! Did you conveniently forget that Dominion was awarded a $787 million dollar lawsuit because of Fox lies? Change the channel! Sheesh!
"Picking between Biden and Trump wouldn’t be about surrendering to the lesser of two evils. It would be about distinguishing imperfection from evil, about recognizing that one route preserves democracy while the other opens the door to autocracy, about realizing that there would be remedies for Biden’s limitations but no reprieve from Trump’s excesses. Old is workable. Depravity is a dead end".
George W is a caring person, who as Nicholas Kristoff says probably saved 25,000,000 lives in Africa due to his AIDS program.
Nate White, that's who!
His followers are exactly like him.
Born and raised in America I gotta say America kind of sucks.
Caspar Milquetoast is a comic strip character created in 1924 by cartoonist Harold T. Webster. Beginning a few years after the character's debut, the term milquetoast came to describe a timid or meek person. Caspar's last name is fitting because milk toast is a weak, bland concoction of buttered toast served in a dish of warm milk.

T Rump is not only a clear and present danger to us here in the U.S., but to the entire world and must be stopped at all costs.
He gave Putin Israel’s vulnerabilities and look what happened there…He is an unhinged danger to us all.
And can I please say how much I hate the sight of that f**king face? I don't believe I am allowed to say what I would like to do to it.
And the comments section is also something to behold...
The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife, lol.
Every day I wonder how there can be so many useful fools who favor and support him in all his crazy nonsense.
I have tried to tell others trumps issues but it always comes up short in attempting to describe him. This article has given it all to the world.
There are millions in the US that are appalled that he would even be on the ballot to begin with. It takes a certain level of gullibility, anger, resentment , and the appeal of authoritarianism that leads people to his appeal. And, having been exposed to the British, there is the same demographic there as well. However, this writer seems to be speaking about a segment of British society as those Americans who feel the same as they do. Dig deeper.
Americans have prevailed in troubled times when they have banded together to face evil with commitment, courage, and compassion. We can do it again.

Also note that the London Daily, where this appears, states that the news items are produced through AI. And most important, I spell my name with a ph.
Since the vast majority of his supporters are authoritarian religious zealots known as 'white-nationalists,' Christian Dominionists, et al, I think the media are also terrified of the religious backlash that he could summon that would negatively affect their pocketbooks. His followers share a blind, cult-like devotion to him – no doubt because as a natural con man he speaks their often incoherent language of disjointed, incongruous, incomplete thoughts, which they instinctively grasp and internalize on a subliminal level.
There is however, one extremely tangible factor in all this, and that is Murdoch's Fox Network, which is the flagship of far-right disinformation and dissimulation, which acts as a sewer pipe delivering a torrent of bigoted, unsupported opinions and other mental rubbish into American living rooms. Without Fox, Trump would have remained a tiny blip on the political radar.
I believe that, as Churchill said of Americans, they eventually do the right thing – after they have tried everything else, but I'm not so sure if it will come in time to save this republic.
It baffled me for years as to how a highly educated citizenry could have bought the Nazi ideology. But now I see how a people can buy into a man who is cruel and treads on the disadvantaged and less fortunate . A bully , a loser and a fraud . But they lap up the utter nonsense being fed them
Beyond depressing
Bravo to those who actually care about democracy and personal freedoms; and who do not appreciate being lied to daily. Thanks to the comments from Ann T, TB, and Marti Fuller. WELL SAID !
in the face of such hatefulness, deceit, filthy mind and constant actions.
Thank you for being there and speaking for so many.
Trump knows how to lead a country despite the unified opposition of the leftist decerebrates brainwashed by the financial elite and exemplified here, who, no doubt, lap up demented Joe's puppet dance and the "competence" of current UK leadership. One day they might wake up but for most of them breaking indoctrination is impossible and it is hard to even feel remotely sorry for them as they are partly responsible for the ever-increasing problems of this world.
In answer to your question…. YES, America and the world is better off under Biden, in spite of Donald Trump trying to undermine everything Biden has managed to accomplish with the very Trump-friendly House of Representatives, which is a total disaster because of Trump’s meddling. Do you honestly feel that barely accomplishing ANYTHING in the House due to Trump’s interference is a good thing for America and the world? Trump pushed Jim Jordan for Speaker, knowing that the slimy insurrectionist would do his bidding and continue to try and get the election overturned.
Biden is not perfect by any means, but he is FAR better than the shameless, self-serving, lying, cheating, philandering, conniving, bullying, name-calling, tantrum-throwing, revenge obsessed man-child who is Donald Trump.
(sometimes). And, more importantly they finally figured out that they are equal to everyone else and realized they can’t measure up. Without the advantages acquired by the system, Trump voters became fully aware that white supremacy is a myth. They cannot face the fact that they are not the heroes, they are not the smartest (actually they’re quite dumb to fall for trumps shit), they are not the most sexy, they are very weak (just like trump) and they can’t stand it, so they write stuff like S Taylor.
This a great article that deserves to spread like wild fire!!!!
prejudices, ignorance, greed and cruelty in others.
There has always been a large portion of America which is White Supremacist.
The Civil War never really ended.
Perfectly put.
Makes you despair
I’m a normal true American, not a magat cult member.
This article is spot on. Thank you for not judging all of us with a broad paintbrush.
Trump also blocked even legal immigration. And, under the economy Biden rebuilt, unemployment is at historic lows. Unfortunately, we could use more legal immigrants as we have 11 million more jobs than people to fill them. This hampers the growth of our economy.
And, what has Trump done since losing the election and 60+ lawsuits contesting it? Just incite a mob to storm the capital who smeared feces on the wall and erected a gallows before chanting “Hang Mike Pence.” And promote the lie that the election was stolen from him, despite many many recounts continuing to validate the results. Oh, and fundraise to “Stop the Steal” and actually use that money for his legal fees.
Trump got NOTHING of value done for the American people. He is every bit as awful as the writer says he is.
Even though I live in the USA, my ancestors were from Great Britain and I’ve never been more ashamed to be an American since Trump was elected to office.
If by some tragic series of unfortunate events, Trump gets elected in 2024, I as well as many of my friends are seriously considering leaving the country.
was a comment made by one of Trump’s professors at the University of Pennsylvania:
“Trump was the dumbest damn student he had ever come across”!
In a more serious tone, I have always felt that Trump’s 2016 election was possible only through a total failure of our educational system to instill in its students the skill of critical thinking.
to escape to the USA where,apparently, he has produced followers - God help us all.
Wow what a shame
This essay should be required reading throughout the English-speaking world.
One thing ia for sure, if the Republicans set him as his candidate, they will lose again and will keep losing until they realized to late that they are the reason of their own doomsday.
You asked how to help a person who is so “damaged.” Well, you don’t reward him with the U.S. presidency, for starters. You don’t make, “Oh, poor little Donnie,” excuses over and over again, leading him to believe he is invincible. You show him that his behavior has real consequences.
More like Caligula.
Every American should read this and see what the rest of the world sees in Donald .
The belief that you are known by your choice of friends more significant if you choose that friend to be your leader God help the USA
Love this! He puts the FIB in Fibonacci
Pray, the world does not see such a monster again.
If Trump is all of these negative qualities - what does that make Boris, and the country (and City) that was led by Mr. Johnson?
It seems more likely that this author is simply doing his duty via "And I for one, salute our American overlords" fashion.
which has allowed tRump still, yet, on & on, to walk about the world freely. Excellent that his
January 6th followers are facing the consequences of their actions, but the Donald should
get that and way more, NOW! 22 years jail time would be a good start; if he is re-
elected, this country is doomed.
And in addition, those who say they don’t care about his lies and flaws, his illegal activities, his broken laws and crimes, that they will support him regardless, are the human species that needs to find extinction. Simply put, they haven’t bothered to keep up with the rest of the progressive world.
1. Giving millionaires huge tax breaks, which did NOT trickle down to the working class, and ended up raising the national debt.
2. Downplaying the Covid crisis to the point where gullible people stopped believing in vaccines and elected to use horse paste instead.
3. Threatening to do away with the Constitution- for his own benefit.
4. Made millions of dollars charging taxpayers for the use of his properties while he played golf on a regular basis.
5. Increased the national debt by 8 trillion dollars in four years.
6. Said he would come up with a new health care plan. Didn’t happen, yet he tried to destroy Obamacare.
7. Constantly promised “Infrastructure Week.” Didn’t happen until Joe Biden got the job done.
8. Pandered to racist groups while mocking groups such as Black Lives Matter.
9. Endless “Executive Time” daily to call in to Fox News, watch TV, and/or tweet insults and lies.
10. Trump’s tariffs? We, the consumers, and businesses paid the price for Trump’s tariffs. They did NOT help the U.S. negotiate better trade agreements.
As bad as those are, Steve, and the many others I could have added to the list, the worst thing he has done - and continues to do, is insist that he won the 2020 election. He has persuaded millions of feeble-minded, uneducated people to send him money, and continues to spread his lies, hatred, insults, and threats to stir up trouble. He LOST. Period. He should be thrown in jail and all access to social media taken away. He is a threat to our country and the freedoms we have taken for granted. He is insane.
Loch him up!
As we know, cameos are a reflection of that person and this cameo is a great example. You could say the same for any of his other “acting” appearances. All he cares about are appearances and popularity and wealth and this is wholly evident in the way he presents himself and the way he approaches his “fans.” Because that’s what they are. Fans. With ALL the merch.
I hope to god someone comes to the surface and unites our country again. These are dark times, man.
You know the Brits, they are wrong about everything. They thought Chamberlin made a great deal with Hitler (you know all the proper etiquette and bullshit). They had their own Trump as I recall, Sir Winston Churchill. They hated him until they needed him. Once he saved their bloody asses, the blokes booted him. I would tell the Brits to go “pound” it up their ass, but the last I looked it is now worth a pittance and most of them would enjoy it.
If the nit wit Brits need some queenies to admire, we can send them all they need. As for being a significant minority, think again, we are the MAJORITY and the lying cheating, scumbag, liberal, socialists will pay the price for disrespecting this great country. You will have to get in at the end of the line if you want your piece of our freedom. You have been watching too much of Mop Top on CNN.
God Bless the USA and Donald Trump!

PS. Call the French next time you need some help and does King what’s his name still wear a skirt? Who needs a Queen when you have the ball-less wonder.
prove the authors point, Bill.
"A man who cannot laugh at himself can never see the humor in anyone or anything else, and that is a tragic flaw, no matter who or what it may involve. For in the lack of humor lie all the seeds of evil and destruction. People who see themselves as worthy of admiration, and who cannot conceive of themselves as ever being a cause for laughter, are too serious for their own good, and even worse, they generally believe they have a calling to impress the acceptance of their beliefs on others. God save all from humorless men, for they are also merciless and implacable."
In recent years, the UK has voted for both Brexit and Bozo Johnson. Both in the same ball park as voting for the guy who sprays himself orange.
Or rather, a *proportion* of the UK voted for those things. And that's important, because it shows just how deeply divided the UK is. Many of the Brexit/Bozo-supporting camp love the fat, orange anus.
All true except for the above point. The history of the British Empire is a history of bullying. Perhaps an addition disdain for Trump appears in the horrifyingly garish reflection you see when forced to gaze upon his grotesqueness.
Ticks all the boxes: whataboutery, blaming elites (is the guy with the gold toilet not an elite?), whining about people flaunting their moral superiority. What these people are unwilling to admit, even to themselves is that Trump doesn’t care one jot for his country or anyone else. Every one of his failed policy decisions was based on profiting the rich and the corporations. Biden & Co may not be perfect, they’re a centre right party after all, but they’re not sociopaths with laundry lists of character flaws.
So here’s a quick list of Trump’s policies:
Repeal Obamacare (failed, but did limit it some; coronavirus policies and management (ingest bleach, UV light, demonize Fauci, etc – a total mess); fund Christian (religious) schools by diverting money from public schools (failed, but did serve to polarize the population and ignore the separation of church and state); reduced regulations for offshore drilling (succeeded with obvious environmental liabilities); reduced methane emissions regulations (green house gas), even oil companies such as BP and Shell publicly spoke out against these regs (BTW, are you hot enough this summer?); 2018 effort to reign in Dept of Defence discretionary $$ (succeeded, good policy); $1.5 trillion tax cuts (neither side really liked this, but it got through and became a “sugar high” economically with little lasting value to the average American (but lots of value to the wealthy - once your portfolio goes up 50% you can continue to grow that money!); Vehicle emissions represent the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the US. Trump reduced the 5% improvement requirement on auto companies to 1.5% ( Go, Donald! BTW, who is a winner here?); Build the Wall (I’ll leave it to you to guess what happened); Blocked Huawei & ZTE from doing meaningful business with the government and most US companies followed (success!), Subsidies to farmers were the highest in 40 years as a result of tariffs imposed by other countries against the US, as a result of tariffs against China (was this a “win”, well, farmers are part of his base); reducing the effect of Dodd-Frank (with more large bank mergers following and much less transparancy); exited or attempted to eviscerate the North American Trade Agreement, NAFTA, NATO, World Trade Organization – all with no recognizable gains and identifiable losses. But, he did meet with his friends in N Korea and Russia – which represent terrible visuals to us here in the US and the peaceful world.
The article above is a very good, sad commentary on a bully who has no regard for anyone but himself and growing his personal wealth Jared/Saudi fund management deal – you’ve got to be kidding). Eighteen of Trumps cohorts from his administration were indicted, some while he was in office and the rest within a year or so. The current lawsuits to chase down Trump and his sidekicks will leave dozens more in prison or barred from office, including him, I hope. The fact that this is unprecedented is no consolation. The fact that we had a bully-leader who would step on even his own inner circle, that many people still voted for, shows that there are a lot of disenfranchised people in America and that social media is a great manipulator, and we suffer from it. Fascism is not the answer, it is a scab festering on a sick Republican party. Trump fits that definition perfectly. Look it up.
I would pay a lot of money to sit down with that 51 percent of respondents and ask them to tell me five things Trump accomplished in office. I’d even spot them the first four: a tax cut; the appointment of three SCOTUS judges; the killing of Qasem Soleimani; Operation Warp Speed.
Meanwhile, whatever you think about voting for Biden for another term, just on the basis of balls and strikes, this has been one of the more successful first terms most of us have lived through:
Beating COVID
American Rescue Plan
Bipartisan gun reform
Bipartisan infrastructure
Inflation Reduction Act
CHIPs
Killing of Ayman al-Zawahiri
Managing the allied support of the war in Ukraine
As for being mentally up for the presidency, again, I understand people who have doubts about Joe Biden. Fair enough.
But they think Trump is up to the job, mentally?
The guy who wanted to inject bleach into your system to get rid of a virus? That guy??
Watch Jordan Klepper interview Maggats at a Trump rally and you’ll get the picture of overall intelligence!!!
His voting base is from the most poorly educated states!!!!!
Also brilliant.
The far right, identifiable as fascists, have a very different set of descriptors to be applied.
As long as this orange silo of contemptible stupidity is seen as representative of even part of the United States I am a Californian. Trump has stained the word “American”.
Ironically, DOJ & FBI, etc. are probably more transparent and less corrupt than they’ve been in our entire history. Do you really believe that half of our population wants to turn our kids into abortion-loving drag queens, who (because they’re so guilty about being white) insist on mask mandates? …OK, i’m joking; but when you stand back for a second & look at some of these fears - that’s how ridiculous they are. Telling the people that “They” are corrupting your children & “They” want to take away your rights & everything you hold dear
& “They” are looking down on & laughing at you, while stealing from you - are all tried and true fascist tropes (used very successfully by the likes of Hitler, Mussolini, Putin, etc).
I don’t ‘hate’ Trump. It’s not ‘name-calling’ to acknowledge that the man is a malignant narcissist & a sociopath. He’s been a very public figure for 50 years & there are literally thousands of examples (on film and in print) of his consistent behavior. Although he’s gotten worse, over the years; he’s always been the same guy.
To mistake him for a guy who is ‘fighting for you’ or someone who cares about anyone, is a deadly mistake.
Finally… Which is more likely? Tens of thousands of evil people, who are on the same page (in a deep-state cabal); are dedicated to destroying this great patriot. OR: A lifetime con-man & career criminal (who has left a trail of destroyed businesses & lives in his wake) is finally being brought to justice (with mountains of verifiable evidence). Reality doesn’t care about what we want to think.
Because of the archaic and increasingly inequitable Electoral College system, Trump was elected with a minority of the popular vote, and never had a majority of popular approval. The latest polls shows 53% will absolutely not vote for him again, and 11% "probably wouldn't" vote for him.
So, take hope. Even if this pompous loon doesn't end up in prison, he will be nothing but a sore loser after 2024, resented by the GOP party establishment and mocked soundly by everyone but a shrinking, aging, increasingly daft minority.
I know I'll enjoy our drink together, because I agree totally with your diagnosis of the problem. So would Bernie Sanders!
We do need to wake up to the plan that will strip us of our wealth and human rights so a handful of autocratic, oligarchic, psychopaths can keep us under their thumb while they take most of the world's resources for themselves. But follow the money. Those people are backing Trump and the republicans, funding the Federalist Society, supporting racism and child labor and everything that makes us working folks insecure.
Trump is actually one of them, but he's an artful broadcaster who has fooled millions into thinking he's what he says he is. He's the classic wolf in sheep's clothing. Everything he says is aimed at getting him more money and power, and when that happens, he does it even more, all for his own benefit. He didn't help ordinary Americans, he played on their insecurities, as he made autocrats like him (Kim Jong Un, Putin, Crown Prince, etc.) - ones who are repressing and killing their people - even stronger. He ran up the debt of working Americans by giving tax cuts to the rich as he spent more. He gave $ billions to those psychopaths who want to keep us under their thumb. Now they are investing a few percent of that back into their power grab, dismantling the mechanisms of US democracy bit by bit, using their paid-for judges and representatives.
While you call a rapist and draft dodger the best President ever? Yet you cannot name one redeeming quality Trump has, not one example of decency. So Scott, what should we call people who support rapists, cheaters, and draft dodgers? Look in the mirror and let us know.. Thanks.
You stated about Trump that, "He ran the country for the benefit of the American people not himself first and foremost". You obviously are unfamiliar with the Donald Trump this article is referring to - you must be speaking of someone else - someone with intengrity and a soul.
Generally speaking people will say negative things about a person because of 3 specific reasons they feel threatened by them, they are jealous of them or monkey see monkey do and blindly follow the crowd. Trump was the best President the USA has had in a long time. The reason for that is the same reason he is hated. He ran the country for the benefit of the American people not himself first and foremost, he wasn't a puppet for the Cabal. Not hard to see why the British look down their noses at him the Cabal has its banking and media command centre in London City. I can just imagine all the propaganda filth promoted through the global media suppliers based in the UK. Don't be fooled people this is just another hit shot at Trump because Trump is desperately trying to wake you brainwashed people up to the plan that will strip you of everything you own and all your human rights so a handful of psychopaths can keep you under their thumb and in the dark while they rob you. So try using your head for more than displaying your hairdo today. Cheerio...!!
What is your list of qualifications for a political head of state to have so he can govern for the good of the country?
He tried to destroy our Constitution!! His tenure in the White House seriously divided Americans, and the stench of his presidency will continue to fester for years to come. And he still continues to try and pretend that he won, so that the uneducated will continue to send the so-called billionaire their money. Shameless.
Was in Opposite Day when you posted this nonsense? Please tell us what he accomplished while in the Oval Office. Facts only, please.
...He'll be forever identifiable without speaking his name, just by that.
We have no fake lawsuits, the justice system wont allow that.
What are the fake accusations about Russia?
He has been caught in many lies, so what makes him authentic?
What makes you think Biden is corrupt? Can you share your thoughts?
He is extremely narcissistic ( put himself ahead of others) So Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and a lack of empathy.
They represent a damaged group who think the answer to their problems lies in turning on others and holding them responsible…
Trump is pro-British?? really?? how exactly??
No, I am not worried about Biden at all, although his son sounds like a jerk. Biden has done a decent job while in office, although I wish he would let someone younger take his place in the next election. The Republicans who are constantly throwing useless investigations at him are failing to do their job for the American people. They’ve been through it over and over, while accomplishing nothing. That seems to be their entire platform for the Republicans these days.
I believe if you care to read more about the Russia “fake accusations,” you will be surprised to find there are updates that may surprise you.
My biggest dismay has never been that the cretin exists. Instead, that so many of my fellow citizens have been brainwashed, into believing he was president material.
He's far from the best and will likely go down in history as one of the worst presidents in US history.
His published discussion of the Central Park Five was shocking and terrifying. Trump is an example of what happens when you take all of the lowest forms of behavior demonstrated by humans and jam them into a single, hideous container. As others have said, he's so embarrassing that most of us can't imagine being in the same room with him, let alone voting for him.
It's been a sad time for America these last few years, and it may not be over.
Ing i wish you asded confirmed women abuser
How is it possible that there are people that actually take their time to go to one of his “rally”, contribute with money to his campaign?
We are in a deep hole where oxygen is missing.
Thank you.
And if one article makes you want to vote for him, you were voting for him anyway. The pretense is laughable
You must understand that I was not afforded a college education. However, I now have considerable sway over others that will be able to do so. I would prefer they avoid a school that does not even teach them the correct spelling of the word college (Though they should have learned that many years prior. Obviously, quite obviously, our public education system is appallingly bad).
I find it quite unfortunate that a college educated man, like yourself, becomes so emotionally distraught over an honest (One of the best I read actually, and I read quite a lot.) description of a prior public servant. A creature that has been working vigilantly for decades to prove this writer's point.
If reading the truth about Trump actually makes you want to vote for him, that’s a very sad commentary on today’s society being so easily brainwashed.
He also doesn't have any teams he roots for - he used to go to baseball games, but he's not really a fan.
He doesn't read books or ever talk about the best new movie he's watched (well, maybe that crap 2000 Mules), but I bet he never actually saw it.
He's a joyless prat.
I won't give you the answer but here's a clue - It was the snotzie, in the rose garden with a sharpie...
Trump should be rotting in jail.
His marks are often some combination of religious, xenophobic, and racist. They are anti-government because they are somewhat dim, and therefore have difficulty navigating government bureaucracy. His promises fit well with their desires. That got him elected in 2016.
He is smarter than his marks, but not nearly as smart as most of the people in the political and legal class in which he must operate. This gets him disrespect, and that disrespect engenders his resentment of intelligence. He claims to have it, but understands it not at all
He is also a sociopath, and therefore considers himself above everyone and everything else. He considers himself above the law. That may result in his conviction.
But to other con artists, he has shown that a net works better than a rod, reel, and hook, and is more profitable. They will continue to fish in those waters, the great sea of halfwits, racists, and fools for religion.
American politics has become like an internet scam for penis enlargement.
The “TDS,” as you call it, is the frustration of the majority of Americans who are sick to death of this mind-numbingly stupid, egomaniacal, lying, grifting, cheating, indicted, insane loser who refuses to believe that he lost the election. We can’t pick up a newspaper, log in to news sites, or watch the news on TV without seeing that fat, orange blob ranting insanely with his bull****. We long for the day when the prison doors slam shut on his miserable life.
How anyone could believe a word of anything he says is beyond the comprehension of those of us who are sane and have actual critical thinking skills.
Well done sir, that was quite a fair assessment of this man! That said, I have a challenge for you sir, since you seem to have a keen human insight...I/we Americans would LOVE to hear your assessment of our current President, Joseph Biden as well...and for the sake of "Liberal/Left" politics or undue seated, President respect, I/we SINCERELY hope you do not hold back or give quarter where none is due. Please do so sir, we'd love to hear your equally fair "assessment" of this gentleman as well. Thank you for this response, and again, well done!
Sincerely, J R Larson - Seattle, WA, U.S.A.

Donald Trump is ranked in the bottom three. His lies, gross exaggerations, and misinformation were numbered in the tens of thousands. He said he was going to “drain the swamp,” yet appointed only his “yes” men and women, many who ended up in legal trouble themselves. He took documents that he had no right to take, then lied about having them. He tried to steal an election by using fake electors, and encouraging the disaster of January 6th, where he gleefully watched the carnage for hours on TV before lamely trying to call off his dogs. He wanted to rip up the Constitution of the United States because he failed to steal the election. His dealings with Putin are highly suspect. His attempts to downplay Covid 19 led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. His lies about a “stolen election” continue to disrupt our country, in spite of the complete lack of evidence to support any of his blatherings.
Barack Obama, on the other hand, whom you appear to dislike, was ranked #11 in the survey, with “Obamacare” being his major accomplishment, which gave millions of Americans - myself included - affordable healthcare. Trump used his hatred for the popular Obama to try and do away with the ACA, WITHOUT HAVING ANOTHER PLAN IN PLACE! Only John McCain’s vote saved it. Yes, we CAN use the popular Obama as a presidential benchmark. Did you ever hear a hint of scandal involving Obama or the people who worked for him? I’m not sure where you have gotten all your negativity regarding Obama, but I suggest you look at reliable sources. Obama inherited a mess from Bush, and turned it around. He was/is intelligent and well-spoken, unlike Trump, who is neither.
I said to my wife that the incident told me much more about the opponents of Amlo than about Amlo himself.
As for me, I propose we have an international competition, with each of us inserting our preferred substitute name for Trump in it. Perhaps the London Daily would offer a reward for the winning entry.
I've never read a description more accurate. Thank you for summarizing this despicable human being. You have a new U.S.A. fan😁
trash Trump. While not having the greatest character in the world, Trump has done enough positive things for America at least 51% of the time.
This of course is decried by Brits and others as sucking up to Trump etc. Be that as it may, Trump still holds the candle of liberty in his hands for the
benefit of all and not just the rich elite. The elite benefit under Trump & advance too when they have the majority of money to invest in America to create jobs and fund companies at the lower levels of society as well. . Trump is here to stay and enough Americans will back him. The real problem is legal ballot harvesting and delayed voting which the democrats have mastered which out trumps(no pun intended) republican gerrymandering and voter suppression with limited voting access. These two items controlled by the democrats will ultimately determine if Trump will win or lose and not whether the issues matter or Trump's character matters.
Brits will always be subjects and and not free citizens like we are here in the US and it UN-nerves Brits.
Those big tax cuts he gave to the rich? They didn’t trickle down to folks like my family.
You want to talk about gerrymandering? Check out states like Ohio, which is so ridiculously gerrymandered that damn fools like Jim Jordan keep getting elected, and the Republicans at the state level are allowing this to happen! The Republicans are doing everything in their power to take away the votes from those who would vote against them. They are making it nearly impossible for the poor to vote.
Turn off FOX News, Breitbart, Bannon, Alex Jones, and other lying fools who shovel the shyte daily into your willing hands. Don the Con will never be elected again. I shake my head at the blind stupidity of people who actually believe that he is a good man who cares about them.

anon. Irishman called Derek
It appears, to the English speaking world, a made up word of unknown origin.
You have rendered the ultimate, acidulous, deservedly eviscerating polemic I have ever read, worthy no less of our Brit. predecessor Jonathan Swift! My thanks to you is unrenderable in language, where I have some facility. I will save and print this piece as the museum-quality work of art it is. And as well, there is nothing so delicious to me as seeing a bully "get it in the nuts"! UP THE BRITS!!!!!!!!! And thank you again. Iffin' you don't know, there is a book called "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" by 37 - psychiatrists (with Noam Chomsky thrown in.) I think you have outdone them all. Gloria in excelsis to you. Sir Limey! I
who fly a “Let’s go Brandon” banner in their yard. People actually PAY for a sign that tells the world a gullible fool lives there?
How does Trump get away with this bullshit for nearly two years now? He has absolutely nothing to back up his claims.
Spot on
But how such a narcissist could have been elected is beyond me. Yes, the electoral college - we're trying
to get rid of that. but even so . . . .
so lame he only served one term, but the damage is done.
It should not surprise or shock anyone that Trump stole Top Secret papers and took them to his residence. Each of his flimsy excuses for taking them are not valid, which leads us to the very critical-to-National-security question … what did he plan to do with them? Sell them? Meanwhile, he continues to beg his “I love the uneducated” supporters for money to pay his legal expenses!! Just how dumb are these people who still support him? He lies
For all that I have disagreed with Adam Kinsinger over the past few years, he has stepped up big time and has bravely endured the terrible threats to himself, his wife, and his infant child. What kind of people does Trump have as followers? The threat was published and was clearly written by a violent, insane person. You know …. the kind of person that the Republicans think should be allowed to have assault rifles.
You can be sure none of the Deplorables will be watching the J6 hearings. They’d rather remain ignorant than to admit they were completely fooled by Trump.
And if I recall correctly, Neville Chamberlin got things done, too; he did a dandy job of preserving "Peace in Our Time", at least for a whole 336 days. People who are complicit with dictators belong in another age; hereditary privilege is questionable enough, but few things are more disgusting than self-proclaimed royalty. At least Napoleon had discernable talents! I fear, though, there may be a sufficiency of idiots to elect Agent Orange again, now that those who remember Hitler have moved on.
We all benefited financially from the Trump Presidency. Plus we wouldn't have Putin in the Ukraine killing folks! The Donald would have not allowed that to happen.
I think the writer was right on about Trumps character. A complete asshole! But he got shit done that the present outfit seems to stumble at, at every turn in the road. It's performance that only Mr. Magoo would have been proud of!!!!
2. The President, whoever it is, has almost no effect on gasoline prices.
3. What makes you think Trump would control Putin? Almost all evidence supports the exact opposite. It’s more likely that Putin saw how well he controlled Trump that he figured it would carry over to Biden. (I wonder if we’ll ever know what Putin had on Trump.)
A lot in common but the British love him
He has done enormous damage to Britain,Europe and the world 😩
His delusional claim that he won the 2020 election “by a landslide” is a thousand times more toxic, as it is dividing our country. Just like the Obama claim, he has absolutely NOTHING to back it up, just his huge ego that refuses to believe that he lost. Unfortunately, he continues to profit on his lies, as Trump’s uneducated fan base continues to throw their money at him. Lots and lots of money.
How ANYONE could continue to support this monster is beyond me. Clearly his base has no clue as to how serious his actions and inaction regarding the January 6th freak show reveals how close we came to losing our democracy. Trump was ready to have the military seize the voting machines in a pathetic attempt to declare himself the winner. The list of Republican cohorts in this illegal and unconstitutional act continues to grow, as more and more evidence is given. And in spite of all the evidence against Trump, his brainless base will simply shrug it off as “fake news,” just as Trump has programmed them to do. All the cons, all the lies, all the cheating, all the greed …. they refuse to admit that Trump is anything but their saintly hero.
corrupt and should be taken to a place where he cannot have any communication to the outer world. There are many Americans that would better
fold into the Conservative works and be an asset to this large country and work to save the country's identity and save it from further intervention
from this man. His followers left in the U.S. government must be closely watched! They may want to redo the insurrection. Trump should be
charged with murder in the last insurrection!. He cannot be corrected. How many innocents died for their U.S. country! Maybe a mental institution
would do but the US must decidedly call that shot.
Too continue, there is some incredibly and astonishingly stupid people in America with all sorts of different types of conundrums: lack of intelligence, ignorance, greed, and racism. A fine recollection of this would be that seven-percent of all Americans believe Chocolate Milk comes from brown cows. This fact was surveyed by an accredited university. Now, imagine all these types of people voting for their country's leaders. Thus, we have the United States.
It is my personal belief that if democracy is to exist there must be some type of intelligence quota testing, or evaluation, by an accredited psychologist. These tests should also be performed, with documentation presented, in order to be allowed to vote. Doing this would prevent any unrational voting views.
Many Americans do not even know what our constitution defines specifically, yet they are still permitted to vote. My favorite is Freedom of Speech clause. People think it is set up so you can degrade, or slander individuals, without any consequences. THAT IS NOT WHAT OUR CONSTITUTION ALLOWS! Our Freedom of Speech mentioned in the Constitution gives us the right to speak our opinions or express our beliefs against our GOVERNMENT, not individuals. Actually, slander and degradation is illegal in many states and can result in civil and monetary suites in court, if you can prove it. ASK tRUMP, he sued a member of his hotel clientele for referring him as resembling "the son of an orangutan." This had been published in Forbes Magazine some years back. Yet, he runs around and does the same exact thing. Hypocracy at it's finest. Now, with a mess like this and people who don't actually even know what our constitution actually defines, imagine them all running out to the polls every four years voting for our leaders. Testing is crucially in need.
With all of this said, we get people voted in like tRUMP, child molesting state governers, and idiotic leadership. Nancy,in our own congress, mentioned "Jewish Space Lasers" as a result in an argument amungst our congress representatives. What in thee holy f$%# is a Jewish Space Laser? Can anyone please enlighten me? This is what I, and other coherent Americans have to deal with.
Covid 19 is also no excuse. Americans did the exact same s$%@ during the early nineteen hundreds when the Spanish Flu pandemic was peaking. They behaved in the exact stupid manner they are putting forth now.

rants. There are plenty of reliable news sources that you can turn to, but you don’t want to hear any facts, do you? That’s why Trump said that he loves the uneducated. He loves you because you believe every word he says and willingly make fools of yourself for him. Look at that poor deranged Mike Pillowhead. He will go bankrupt if he continues on this path of blind stupidity.
We demand facts. You won’t face facts.
But go ahead and keep sending them your money. That’s all they want from you anyway.

Oh Lord you have said exactly the correct descriptions of the Dork Trump former head shit in WH. Thank You .🎉👍😀
Bravo!

have this jerk in print
I was once questioned as to what qualifications I had that would justify me being in a better job than that which he had. It is born of the belief that they belong to a superior race that owns America, everyone else, including indigenous people are lesser than they are Add to that the fact that if immigration is not rationed, based on color then they will eventually become the minority.
That is how cults operate, if you do not belong you are the enemy. This is what Trump nurtures
The hinterlands know better, even obscurity wants nothing to do with him.
Like many others, it is embarrassing for me as an American that the world sees the United States have a LOT of despicable, deplorable, racist schmucks who can stand behind a grifter and continues to allow him to fleece them for his so-called PAC.
Trump is bore and a boar, actually he is more like a horses ass.
Thank you
This amazing funny and “so right on” article needs to be framed and hung in a museum for the ages!!
Thank you for eloquently expressing every thing I ever thought for the last five years and my frustration at my inability to really describe my feelings
“A real hit piece. None of it is true. 75 million voters agree with me. Let’s hear from Biden. A real disaster”
Gary knows how to read and write and gets his point across in few words. Then why, with an IQ, would Gary support Trump?
The fuck if I know!!
Some are religious extremists and some nuts who thing they should be allowed to own their own nukes.
Then there are the white power, racists who still wave the confederate flag and want their slaves back, The group of traitors known as the confederacy lost that war. Many would say the“South” got off. With merely a slap on the wrist.
Well, now they think they will they will be able to reelect Trump in 2024 by gerrymandering, eliminating polling locations, enacting laws that restrict voter’s rights, and by intimidation.
My solution is to make Texas it’s own country, move all the right wing religious. nuts there (we will move Austin out of Texas) and permanently close the borders. Then they can build a wall.
This American appreciates you so very much.
Stellar summation.
Trump is a con man. Well trained and diverse in that art. If you lived in Manhattan , New York you already knew that fact. The % that are beguiled by him, are his stooges, suckers etc. and have no understanding of the art of the CON.
Even more astounding is Americans' ability to have shown the creature even a modicum of respect.
Thank you for this piece
fed FoxSnooze etc. The truth will out.
America and trash our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Maybe a little visit with history, like what happened to the democracy Germany had, might be
helpful in opening eyes nice and wide. I thank Nate White for his eye opening article.
Let’s hope we all survive the pandemic of stupidity!
“If you’re so goddamn rich, how come you ain’t smart?
But, this is what most Europeans don't get, and this is where Peewee Herman has a wonderful line in one of his films, Big Top Pee Wee, "Everyone has a big "Butt." The "But" is what Europeans don't understand: Most US-educated, university/college citizens see Trump for what he is, a liar and a thief. Sorry to upset you, but the USA have millions of totally uneducated people who will wallow in the inanity of his speeches, lacking the mind to do else. We are NOT ALL Wealthy.
No disrespect meant.
"He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege."
---Greetings from Northern California
This piece of writing is classic and unfortunately too true.
He is this dark Gollum that is brought to life by the energy of the inane...
There is clear pattern here of black progress being met with violent and strategic white backlash. The Civil War win against the Confederacy and the following strides made during the Reconstruction Era (with active black American input) resulted in a backlash of about 100 years of American apartheid: Jim Crow. The passing of the Civil Rights Act resulted in the war in drugs that saw many black men disproportionately shepherded into prisons (the new slavery) for crack, while white American use of a different form of that same drug barely registered. Obama’s presidency resulted in very vile, vitriolic, vulgar and visible characterization of the darker side of America: the crude, cruel, and crass Donald J. Trump. Even Michelle and Melania were very visibly opposites in the same regard, so decisive was the backlash.
Trump isn’t a lapse, as many Black Americans will testify. He is a symptom- a manifestation- of a long-existing cancer in America: racism. And that cancer isn’t even done spreading, because too many “well-meaning” white Americans (and even many immigrants) either refuse to see or downplay America’s original sin. They will even continue to arrogantly gaslight black Americans and tell us we didn’t see, heat, experience what we said did, even though we are bona fide experts on picking up on racism.
This is why America deserved the vile exposure Trump provided, although I’m thankful he is not currently president. Trump is the bandage that was brutally ripped off at the count of one when the ripper said they’d take it off at the count of three. Yes, I went there, because the fulcrum of white supremacy is actually anti-blackness and black lives have paid the price and will continue to do so as long as America tries to placate and negotiate with terrorists (i.e., white supremacists, including the evangelicals).
Yes, other non-whites, and even poor whites, suffer and will continue to suffer, too. Yet, unlike many Black Americans, too many of those groups are naive enough to believe they’ll get to share in some of that wealthy white power and privilege. But, neither power nor wealth operate like that- there needs to be disempowered and poor people after all; so, equality won’t do. At the very least, those groups can expect crumbs or GMOs of power, especially if they ally against black Americans (as some African and Caribbean immigrants in the US have foolishly done before and after Trump called their countries $h!tholes). At the most, they can expect varying degrees of that violence (e.g., physical, economic, etc.) to land on their own doorsteps.
I suppose what horrifies so many Americans like myself is not the knowledge that such worthless, bags of excrement exist in this world, loaded with money they acquired in the most dubiius of ways and leaving a trails of destruction in their wake. What bothers us is that we found him simply by holding a mirror up to our national character.
No nation is perfect, but lord, are we THAT bad?
Thank you for this written sanity.
You have captured Trump in all of his qualities. If you can see this, it is amazing to me why people who support him and the GOP cannot see this.
However, none of this would have been possible if the Republican party had not only withheld treatment, but actively nourished - nourusheS the killing cancer. They simply do not care if the patient -the country - dies, as long as THEY are in power if and when it happens.
But tRump managed to con millions of maga morons to make the super-rich even richer. But muh guns !
Brilliant!!
You may not find him charming or charismatic, but many do, and so, to them, he is. He was born with privilege, yes, but many people are. Only a few become president.
True humans, regardless of where they're from, treat people with more respect and dignity. The good news is that the "Trump base" has significantly dwindled and evangelicals r now firmly split down the middle on his beliefs and behavior. You've described Trump superbly and succinctly. The remaining cult members for Trump will never change since as we've heard before......." you can't fight stupid"!
His mother similarly voiced that question.

1. He ignored the State Department, the CIA & the FBI as regards reports that Russia had meddled with the previous election. He then asked Putin, “ Did Russia interfere in our election? “ Putin answered, “No”, & the blond oaf took that answer as gospel truth, thus undermining USA’s official agencies
2. In February 2020 he proclaimed that the Pandemic would be over by Easter (ie 2 months later!) What an asshole to ignore scientists & doctors

research. Facts matter in America.
I’m not sure how this site is set up for direct links, so I will type it as mediabiasfactcheck(dot)com Use a period instead of the (dot)
Just saying.
I know of two Trump voters in my extended family. Why did they vote for Trump? Because they want to believe that they can go wherever they want to go, be with whomever they want to be with, get their kids back in school, and wear masks only when required by the law. Donald Trump’s words and actions say that it’s all OK, and this will be over soon. Common sense and concern for others are not applicable here. That’s one explanation for Trump voters that I know of.
I also think that Trump supporters get their news from unreliable sources, as well. We are probably all guilty, to a certain extent, of listening to the news stations that tells us what we want to hear.
70 millionth so Americans felt another four years of Trump was in the best interests of the United States and the World. Thank your lucky stars another 80 million or so disagreed.
But the reality - closer to 1/2. So sorry for America! Land of dreams dashed and hope fading fast! Just lock uo the nukes real tight when your civil wr inevitably starts.
Hope you’re not Black,..

The first is that Americans are deeply skeptical of bureaucracy in a unique and extreme way. This stems as far back as the Revolutionary War. Unlike in Britain, where social norms favor upper class manners and values, Americans value, and to a certain extent even fetishize, the image of the average Joe rising to the top of his own volition. We generally hate the idea of government itself. We also worship ideas of rugged individualism and frontier justice. This is a major part of our culture. As Ronald Reagan once said, “the worst 9 words an American can hear are, ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.’”
Americans aren’t unable to see Trump’s flaws; in fact, they was his greatest selling point. Many Americans wrongly assumed his flaws would be the perfect thing to disrupt the back door dealings of Washington.
This didn’t work for two simple reasons. Yes, the US government is an insider’s club run by rich people and lobbyists, but sending a person with no idea how to navigate that corrupt system... is not going to fix the corrupt system. The second reason it didn’t work is because Trump is one of those corrupt lobbyists himself.
Also, what’s this malarkey about Americans not having a sense of humour? Just because we’re more blunt and direct than the Brits, doesn’t mean we’re less “sophisticated” or lacking in nuance. The US is a brain drain for the rest of the world. Many of the world’s greatest comedians have come out of the US too.
Just realizing this man never smiled, not once!! That’s crazy ‘his flaws have flaws’
We just had such an abysmal choice in the 2016 elections it was hard to muster up any enthusiasm. 'How bad could it be?', we sighed after he won.
We had no flipping idea the depths of disgusting this man could reach.
So decent and good natured Joe is more of a scrapper than a talker, but as a bonus we
will be giving you Kamala Harris, who is not only intelligent, charming, Witty and incisive, but joyful. With killer instincts
Your highness, may I remind you that you’re entire system of modern government was rebuilt on the foundation of the American experiment, which was born out of a revolution against your tyrannical kingdom.
Also, authoritarianism is on the rise worldwide, not just in the United States. Boris Johnson is a real nice bloke, no?
How did that story end again?????
Tell lies and Build on the resentment and fear of the population , speak to the arrogant and greedy powerful racists. Created a new sexy term for lies .... Alternate Facts...... . He has released the kraken of America 🇺🇸 Exposed the underbelly of the nation. Good luck America. Your new President and his administration has their work cut out for them. Lots of prayers going up for your nation and I don’t mean the prayers being spouted by your White Evangelicals. ( giving a bad name to Christians and setting us up to be called Haters and for persecution) Those of you who have a knowledge of Bible prophecy known There have been many Anti Christ’s / false prophets since the beginning of time. Well, we have just lived through the reign of one , but God!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽Stepped in. The nation and the world need to turn back to God and the teachings of his Son Jesus Christ. Love, joy, Righteousness, peace. All Kingdom principles. We must have Hope in the midst of the ⛈ storm. Hope floats !👍🏼🙏🏼
Thi is SPOT-ON!
My theory is that there are so many people in the US that got so ticked at the election of a black president (!) that it brought racism into the open, and Trump feeds that hatred. (Ironically, I am sitting here in the US writing this on MLK Day).
President Obama was a difficult success to follow. There couldn't be a more marked difference between them. Imagine our shock and unhappiness having to be Americans under DJT.
We are counting down the hours for our incoming and genteel administration. The world may join us in breathing a huge sigh of relief. Decency matters.
Afraid Pandora’s box has been sprung open it’s gonna be hard stuff all those probmems back inside. We are done with this yet.
He is THAT evil!
PERFECT!
EXACT!
GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBAGE!
He acts like a mob boss, as someone else just pointed out, and thinks that the country should just do whatever he says, irregardless of the legality of his actions.
And if you think the left is “radical,” how in the world would you describe the shameless, lawless, ignorant human scumbags who tore apart the Capitol and
terrorized those inside?
If you had any critical thinking skills whatsoever, you would realize that not only has Trump exposed himself as the unhinged despot who threatens anyone in his way, but he has exposed his followers as the stupid fools he has trained you to be. The whole world saw that mass of ugliness on TV: Trump supporters. Fools.
You have nailed all my feelings which have been difficult to fully articulate about exactly WHY his behavior is SO low.
Unutterably sad that my beloved homeland now has this claim to shame, but you can’t fix flaws you can’t see. This sad chapter has revealed much. We must now face the work needed to bring our land out of the dark attitudes that were hiding in plain sight. Maybe we will leap ahead!
74 million people voted for him, he has a 29% approval rating but still fairly popular within the Party. The Party is a mess. Has no platform, has factions of Qanon, white supremacists and regular ole republicans who still have core values of what the Party used to believe in. What will they do?
Trump has destroyed the Party, nearly brought this Country to civil war and that risk is not yet 0. Where do we go from here because Trump will NOT help us out of this mess. All he would have to do is simply tell the truth. The election wasn’t stolen but he won’t. The Senate needs to convict him and make it so he never holds another office again. He’s a danger and has done enormous damage and his impact will be felt for years. He will go down in history that’s for sure but it won’t be for all the things that presidents are usually loved and remembered for. He will be famous for all the evil and destruction to the core and values of the fabric of the American way of life. You need truth and a basic understanding of facts to have any confidence in your president. Without that you’ll never achieve a unified Country
This article was well written and on point!
I think if Trump gather them all and tell them it's over, there's nothing they can do to keep him another four years in office, they will all go to jail with him so they need to drink his poisoned drink to prove their love for him, they will all do! Bless all their hearts!
If you read about the so called wall, it actually turns out that what were remote inaccessible places with cliff faces and other obstacles were blasted and had roads built there which actually create new smuggling routes.
From Ontario Canada most see the same thing
Bravo.
We feel terrible that his term is giving all of us a bad name. We are hopeful that all of the world knows that the GREAT majority of Americans want to be a part of your communities once again.
What a despicable piece of sh-t!
The election was a fair and accurate response to the criminal actions of a leader that has gone rogue.
If you read about "his" so called border wall, it actually turns out that what were remote inaccessible places with cliff faces and other obstacles were blasted and had roads built there which actually create new smuggling routes.
.I do not think many in the US people see how dangerous, unhealthy, and sociopathic he is. His one-dimension that they see they think is evidence of charm? Creativity?
And it's all for attention. No attention should have been given to this extreme sociopath; it (not he) should NOT have a job anywhere near power,-as others have said here!
When I first saw him, just for 5 mins on the US's 'Apprentice' a decade ago, I just COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I WAS Beholding: this man was 100% inauthentic, plastic, egotistical.. and he was getting away with it. No one else seemed to notice there. And then IT GOT TO BE 'PRESDIENT.
He ONLY fights for his fights. He cares nothing about poor people, blacks, native Americans, sick people, people who need financial assistance, children, clean air, clean water, people with pre-existing medical conditions, etc. He only cares about MONEY. He and his family should all be in jail. They are ALL worthless, horrible disgusting, UnAmerican people.
He isn’t fighting “for all our freedoms.” He is trying to take them away, most noticeably is the First Amendment. How about the right to breath clean air or have fresh water, which he thinks is less important than Big Business?
Trumpkins proved exactly willfully ignorant they are by their disgusting display at the Capitol. In doing so, they showed the entire world exactly how unhinged Trump has become.
HE is EMPTY INSIDE. He has no heart for you or for anything.
WV Republican
It’s not a nation with people anymore. It’s a board game of finances and human beings don’t count in the game. Deeply ashamed of my government, and we will never recover from this.
I loved my country, it’s freedoms, it’s supporting the underdog fighting to give everyone a fair crack of the whip. After all that’s why so many people ran here to settle because they weren’t as safe at home. Those days are long forgotten. With all our media in Someone’s pocket, it will never be a matter of historical record either❗️😢
True Journalists research their target or subject.
Obviously you did not do that.
Had you visited the Government website, or the White House website or even observed and listened for yourself, you would have seen what this man has accomplished during his term, and I might add, without any help from a Congress who should have been working with him instead of having secret basement meetings concocting imaginary crimes he was supposed to have done so they could try to remove him from office, (which they never did). All because of their hate for him for exposing their corruption, that we would never have known about but for his revealing them to us.
They could not expel him on any charges, because he was not guilty, so resorted now to treason, which if there is any fair justice left in America, will be their demise, not his.
He silenced scientists and had accurate scientific information removed from the Website.
Trump and his administration are the poster boys for corruption. Trump and his cronies are the swamp.
Trump has been corrupt for decades.
Soon the USA will have decent leadership that will have to waste time and treasure repairing all the damage Trump has done.
Strongly.
I think it is as OUTRAGEOUS as this!
I think people resists - and this is understandable since it is scary, -just how empty and dead inside this 'human' is. I notice people doing this from the US usually - as if 'president' is a bit like 'pope' and it somehow makes it a bit better!
Hear Hear!
Best President ever!
Trump 2024.
Biden will never be my President.
By any chance was King Luie from the Jungle Book cartoon based on Trump???
Trump and his idiot family have done nothing other enrich himself at tax payers expense and attempted to use the presidency so that state criminal charges would run to their term limits. Fortunately that did not work and he legitimately lost the election.
Remember the upper crust’s ability to humiliate and bully, while being exquisitely polite, also their ability to arrogate wealth to themselves at the expense of the poor and middle classes - the neoliberal experiment, red in tooth and claw
Now Trump has gone (almost) and so has a large proportion of our trade and good will with China
PS like Trump the Chinese Leaders don’t have any sense of humour
I regret to think of how we, as Americans, are being perceived when this blithering fool steps to the podium or sends yet another toxic tweet.
I can only hope the Biden era will bring us back to a time of decency, compassion, leadership and humor.
God Bless America. We really are mostly very good people.
Very well said Biden when he described Boris as “A physical & spiritual clone of Trump”.
Two sub humans who cannot be trusted
(and please stop calling him 'Boris'!)
*chef’s kiss
as baffled as you are except to say that we are plagued with racism which you are not on the scale of the US which is the larger part of the problem that created Trump the Frankenstein of our times.
I am an American who does not understand how someeAmeticans can condone Trump's behavior. It is even worse that they enable and encourage it.
As the whole world is witnrssing, he is not accepting the fact that he lost our presidential election . He and his enablers are putting oiur democracy at risk.
President-elect Joe Biden has an enormous mess to clean up and Senator Mcconnell will try to thwart every positive step forward. But our Biden/Harris tesm know what the mess that they are inheriting and they will dedicate all their time, talents, and efforts to restore America's Constitutional government and respect with our allies and the rest of the world.
Since Trump and the Loony Tunes lawyers haven’t produced ANY evidence to support his claims, maybe you know something that nobody else knows. Let’s hear it, pinhook. What makes you believe Trump is telling the truth for a change?
Intelligence than yourself, you do not have any idea of what he accomplished, because the swamp, was against him, and 93% of
the media, all paid and directed by a few billionaires.
Americans barely passed the IQ test by electing Biden this fall, but still 50 million cast ballots to return the worst and most dangerous American president in history to the White House. As I said, stupid. Yes, there are intelligent Americans, but their numbers are much lower than previously thought.
Thanks, Trump, for turning over the stone and showing us how many Americans are just ignorant, stupid, gullible clods. Thanks to the author of this piece for pointing out how degrading is the man called Trump.
The next POTUS elect?
You are the worst, person, not quite as bad as trump, but close!
trump has done bugger all, for this country, except, has made it the laughing stock of the real world!
He is a crook and traitor, liar, and only interested in his self importance
How dare you decry Great Britain, a much better country than here
He is ,now, in a position, to put this country in danger
Please make an appointment with a psychologist, for your well-being, and possible sectioning
Trump is the definition of corruption!
If Trump had only bought Greenland, you, him and the rest of the supporters of the Giant Creamsicle (orange on the outside, white on the inside, has frequent meltdowns and has a stick up his arse) could settle their to live in your alternate reality.
I think the article is great with a couple of exceptions the Americans are not nicer than the Brits - well not in my experience anyway. And as a Brit living in Australia I would say that most of Australia would love the article too.
Cheerios!
How the Queen doing ?
thousand of Americans and constitutes murder.
Christianity, but the separation between church and state must be observed.
And if you want the perfect representation of “addled mind and condescension and arrogance,” read your own post first before you cast stones.
I agree with “Jimmy C” above. The Trump base is making themselves look more and more insane every day. Unfortunately, our amusement has to end with the drastic responses (death threats) by the base to those election officials who are doing their job to ensure the votes are fair and legal. Just because the Trump base doesn’t like the results, they seem to believe that everyone who stands up for the truth, whether it’s a certified poll worker or the Republican Governor of Georgia, should be subjected to ridicule and death threats. It’s insane, and it starts with Trump himself and his shameless, endless, childish, and inflammatory tweets. Anyone who sees Trump becoming completely unhinged for the whole world to see and STILL thinks he should be re-elected, is out of their minds.
I’m sorry but you sound like another Republican loon
They would hand over their country to a narcissistic wannabe fascist dictator demagogue draft dodging poltroon, for the chance of stripping a woman of her legal right to choose to have an abortion.
They know T**** is a horrible person. They know he would burn the country to the ground to save his own a**. They know he is doing everything in his power to shred the Constitution. They know he is a habitual liar, a conman, a grifter, a pervert, an adulterer, a self righteous self absorbed s***hole of a human being. They know T**** is the worst president in American history.
They know. And yet, they’re willing to let him continue to destroy the country - for the off chance he would ban abortions.
Not just a fringe few. Tens of millions of Americans voted for T**** because he claims to be “pro-life.”
But in any case, 3 or 4 years from now he’ll be languishing inside a NY jail, but pretty sure he’ll be given a tablet or whatever, so he can follow the election from a VERY safe distance—-iinfact they ought to throw away the keys!
Add his insecurity and his incontinence to his serial bloodlust, and we see the mad infant emperor executioner on full display.
Over two Centuries ago, we kicked your Royal ass.
Over a half Century ago, our grandparents saved you from speaking german.
Unfortunately, Trump is not perfect, but he did put America first and called out both the European Union and NATO for taking advantage of America’s military umbrella and trading with your enemy (ie, Russia🇷🇺) for energy instead of your friend 🇺🇸
In short, all western democratic countries get another chance to reboot with America, on January 20, 2021, so let’s all stop pointing fingers at short comings of our current leaders and join hands and go to work strengthening our democratic values and protecting our way of life from the threat of communism 🇷🇺🇨🇳and their despot leaders.
Trade with Democracies first and isolate Communists.
No, he is not, he is incapable of any deliberate act of kindness, your story, just a story
Good riddance, you useless, heartless, mental midget of a man-child.
GO, Team Biden!
You see a limo had a flat tire blocking traffic. Most people were angry. But this one guy in a pick up truck stopped to help. He spoke to the driver of the limo. 2 hours before a tow could com an fix the tire. The pick-up driver changed the tire. Whe he finished the person in the back got out asked what he could pay him. He refused anything offered. The man simply asked his nam and drove off.
The next morning the pick-up drivers wifs office was full of flowers. That evening there was a knock at the door. The pick-up guy hit the floor when he heard that his mortgage was paid in full.
You see the man in the back seat was the owner of the mortgage. And completely forgave it in full.
His name was Donald Trump.
Sure he is mouthy and rude at times. But he has a heart and is compassionate .
Regardless of your feelings about him Trump loves America... do you????
It’s pretty sad when Trump fans have to use a 25-year-old unverified claim to try and paint Trump as a man with heart and compassion. The same man who puts vpchildren in cages after separating them from their parents. The same man who did NOTHING about bounties on US soldiers’ heads. The man who calls soldiers who died for our country “losers.” The man who mocks disabled people, and grabs women’s private parts because he feels entitled to do so. The same man who fired tear gas at peaceful protesters so that he could hold a Bible upside down for a photo op in front of a church. A man who cheated on his pregnant wives.
Yeah, Jim... What a great guy. 🙄
Please check https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trumped-up/
WELL SAID!!! & SPOT ON!!
No, Jolaine, but he TWEETS it -constantly, sometimes hundreds a day. That’s where he makes up his worst lies and conspiracy theories, or retweets the lies of others. That’s where he also shamelessly tries to take credit for the work of others, as he does when he repeatedly claims to have passed the Veteran’s Choice act for healthcare, which was actually passed in 2014 under President Obama. Trump STILL lies about it.
Were you actually trying to say that Trump is too humble to speak about himself? LOL!!
"A younger Trump, according to his first wife’s divorce filings, kept and studied a book translating and annotating Adolf Hitler’s pre-World War II speeches in a locked bedside cabinet, Neuborne noted. The English edition of My New Order, published in 1941, also had analyses of the speeches’ impact on his era’s press and politics. “– Ugly and appalling as they are, those speeches are masterpieces of demagogic manipulation,” Neuborne says."

I ask Biden supporters/voters to tell me what HE has ACCOMPLISHED in his 47 years in office, and why they would vote for him. Occasionally someone will say “OBAMACARE” like it was his doing. That aside, I have yet to get any response other than "he's not Trump", unless they take a minute to Google it on their phones to get some suggestions. Yes, Biden is a nice guy, and nice is SO much more important than accomplishments to the majority of the US citizens. And if your estimate of who dislikes Trump on the other side of the pond is correct, words are more importation than actions there too. But I have friends over there in the UK and in Germany who tell me over and over how they wish someone like Trump would be elected in the EU and actually fix some of the major issues there.
I will say that if I wanted someone to spend a weekend with at the beach, or to have drinks and dinner with, I'd choose that nice guy Biden hands down. But when it comes to actually GETTING THINGS DONE in the face of all the opposition, attempts at impeachment, and overall hatred coming from the media and Democrats, someone to protect me and the interests of all my fellow US citizens, I'll take President Trump every time.
And to those who say he did a horrible job at handling COVID-19, just remember Biden, de Blasio and Pelosi told people to go party in the streets when Trump initially tried to take action. So let's just think how much worse it would and how many more people would be dead if the democrats would have been leading the effort.
That’s all Trump has left. Lies, lies, and more lies.
He has done more for the USA then any other politician.. and you think a man like Biden is able to?? This man has dementia so bad he can’t even form a proper sentence, he is a corrupt, blackmailing, plageristic, pedophile... in his 47 yrs in political office his only achievement was to introduce a bill to lock up blacks. He is so racist... he didn’t want his kids going to school with blacks, he even said if you don’t vote for me you ain’t black.... and more... look it up.
In 1998 he tried to run for president and was made to step down because of plagurisim... he can’t give a speech without lying or plagiarizing someone... he quoted Winston Churchill and JF Kennedy in speeches as his own.
The fraud and cheating in this election is sickening... the ballots brought in after the deadline, dead people voting, more ballots counted in counties then there were registered voters, ballot harvesting, people being paid to steal other people’s ballots, ballots found dumped in garbage bins, people voting in other states plus their own, the ballot counting machines software changing vote counts from one candidate to the other.... they have sworn affidavits from hundreds of people that have seen the fraud going on...it’s sickening and then this is a fair and accurate vote??... how can any one with a clear conscience think they have won an election when all this crap has gone on. If this doesn’t get investigated I don’t care what party it is... this fraud needs to be brought to the forefront as there will never be a clear and fair election anywhere in the world... and I don’t blame President Trump for investigating this as he is the only one that has the guts to do this. He is a people’s President.... his rallies brought out 40,000 -50,000 people each time so you aren’t going to tell me this man lost the election.... this only happened by cheating and fraud.
Even if the Dems manage to steal this election.... President Trump is still the people’s President
Getting off my soap box now.
The US, like it or not, is the leader of the free world, the world’s largest economy, along with Russia, the supreme nuclear power——when America sneezes, the rest of the world catches influenza.
Hence your leader, WHOEVER he or she may be, is vitally important for the general well being of many, if not most countries on this planet! Sadly, 45 was a gross failure, & all Nate was doing, was stating the obvious!
Thus , the white Dominos like Trump will always be there in both the countries , in one as a rabid gun-trotter the other a Diplomat ! As long as this "one-upmanship" attitude remains their "colonial mindset" will remain ! Amen !
There are a couple of other types of Trump supporters. They are billionaires who want to pay less than their fare share in taxes, as well as voters who are not rich, but imagine that they will be rich someday and feel that they should not have to pay taxes if they someday earn millions of dollars. This latter group is made up of those who are the very least likely to strike it rich because they are among the least well educated. They are also those who tend to dream about or even feel entitled to wealth without training or talent. And they are gullible enough to believe that Trump actually cares about people, and not just about wealth and power.
Donald Trump makes it clear that he sees the non-billionaires who vote for him as “suckers” and “losers,” which is also the way he thinks of Americans who serve in the military; those who didn’t have the means to be a draft-dodger like he was during the Vietnam War and even more so, those who could have avoided military service, but who chose to serve for love of their country.
Trump is really the biggest loser. He has no empathy because he was taught that only money and power can make a person truly happy. What’s surprising is that he looks in the mirror and sees a happy man. What he mistakes for happiness is greed, putting himself before others, and cheating “losers,” such as the people who contract to do work for him and find that they then have to pay money to litigate for a small percentage of the amount Trump had agreed to pay when he made a contract with them. The perverse pleasure Trump takes in cheating, lying, and having a beautiful woman on his arm even if she is a mistress he pays or a young third wife who, like him, only in it for the money.

😆🙈
As much as I want to think of Trump and his legacy (did I just say ‘legacy’😱) without comparing/contrasting him with Pres Obama, I just can’t.
He lives in his own alternate reality.
Good riddance, Mr. President.
Donald Trump has made a mockery of democracy, civility, morality and truth.
He is supported in the United States Senate by a selection of spineless, bigoted cronies who care nothing about the their country and all that it stands for.
Led by Moscow Mitch who on the day that President Obama was elected swore and maintained that not only would Obama not get any legislation passed but he was going to make him a one term President.
White America could not come to terms with a black man whose integrity and intellect was so blatantly superior to theirs. To this day they refuse to acknowledge that Obama created the economic turnaround after Bush left office, that he was instrumental in the unemployment rate being so low by the millions of jobs that were created during his tenure.
WAKE UP AMERICA, the world’s populations are becoming more and more diverse. Accept it or don’t, it’s happening.
You came close to falling into the Abyss America, you’re still not quite out of the woods yet. You still have a few good men with moral compass who won’t let the Trumps of this world defile you. Soon you’ll be able to lift your head again and reassume your place of honor on the World Stage.
Nuff said
The US Senate is composed of a pack of spineless, incompetent, bigoted buffoons who dot give a rats ass about the USA. Moscow Mitch took a stand to make Barack Obama a one term President. He and his cronies did nothing in the eight years of Obama’s Presidency to better the fortunes of the US so blinded by the fact that a black man became President but that he is intellectually and morally superior to the whole lot of them.
One day soon hopefully the US will be able to lift its head on he world stage after this debacle.
so well written and accurate!
From Canada with admiration
This is the most accurate and comprehensive description of trump ever written
But in 2020 White Women increased their support to 55% hmm, Women have had the right to vote for ONLY 100 years.
Remember for Whom the Bell Tolls ?
IT TOLLS FOR THEE! IT'S NOT ABOUT PARTY OR RACE, BUT SURVIVAL OF DEMOCRACY.
ALSO All parties that think COVID-19 is a HOAX visit a COVID 19 ICU for a few hours, patients don't Pretend to Die!
Never forget it . GOD IS GOOD!!!
Plus his a soulless black black heart 🖤
Sincerely he must have had a great impact on your people for millions to have voted for him again. Please list his achievements because the COVID death rate in your country is telling a different story. At some point, you guys affirmed the Dems inflicted the virus on citizens.
The other fearful part is the way people are unable to decipher the truth from lies flow smoothly from lies phew!
His crime was defeating the Left’s queen-in-waiting, Miss Hillary. Apparently, the American people found him more to their liking than her. But the socialist liberal media, big tech, and career democrats hated him for winning. As far as his America First agenda, I want to know which British Prime Minister has put forth a Britian First program ? None that I know since maybe Churchill. So to read this opinionated drek from Mr. White is just another slobbering reminder of why Britain will never succeed in becoming relevant.
Anyways, well done and God bless you.
Robert - Class is no how much money you make, it's not about your misguided superiority complex, its not about foul language and power. Class is about quality, values, integrity, and style. Trump is poor quality, have no moral values, lacks all integrity, and definitely has no style! By this definition, you aspire to the very LOWEST class!
If i may add,the Republicans who enabled him so they could hold on to power are not only exposed for who they trult are ,but are worst than he is.
They conspired with him to tear down America's democracy creating a more dangerous society for thier own children ,grandchildren and many others.
Just watch the hypocritical corrupted,disgusting power grabbing Republicans stall and obstruct Biden for trying to bring normalcy,e.pathy and decency back to America.
Perhaps Obama should share some of the blame; there were so many expectations of him, but he just could not deliver. Perhaps he could have signed a few more 'executive orders'? In between the golfing, Donald Trump seemed to occasionally manage it!
Still, Nate is 100%+ spot on in accurately describing the thing that is currently in charge!
Now what do we do!
ecency and charm of Joe Biden. Change is coming, keep calm and carry on.
Now, had your countrymen & women RE-ELECTED him this month, then for SURE a an apology (or two) would have been mandatory! LOL!
I am impressed and would like to share it with others. Carole LaBossiere
God Bless America that he will be gone and let us hope that all Republicans will realize that they are far better off without him. Let's hope that the likes of Mitch McConnell will go forth with some leadership and mutual understanding that America has some serious problems to solve that call for serious solutions and problem solving.
And I approve this message.
Fortunately, the majority of American people are wiser and acted in a way that showed the world how WE really truly felt .about him being a Representative of America!!
We were NOT fooled by his rhetoric. That we were angry at his insensitivity and lack of couth, when he was on the public stage. His poor command of the English language embarrassed us to the point that we practically cringed every single time he spoke. And, he infuriated us because of his refusal to even acknowledge the seriousness of Climate Change, the Pandemic, the alienation of Our Allies and friends, and the danger of his coziness with our adversaries. NO! We saw him as an emotionally retarded, undereducated , irresponsible man!
I think most of those 70 million that voted for him will soon quiet down when the Donald looses his media coverage. They will occasionally check his tweets but they will know that these have become inconsequential. I hope he will widely be regarded as what he is, an accident in history and an impeached one term ex-President.
If he did, maybe, just maybe his battered reputation could just be repaired a little bit! Would be like a present to the nation!
But do you think he will? I shan’t be holding my breath!
You are truly 💯Spot on in your description of the soon to be ex #45!
Total narcissistic moron!
You have described a total a-hole, surely not an American president!
Oh - wait a minute - You're actually spot-on with this one!
As an American I’m puzzled why many fellow Americans don’t recognize the grifter. January can’t come soon enough.
Marilyn and Gil Freitag
Poor dear, he's fooled you completely.
There is a Santa Claus (I saw a few just yesterday), their Easter bunny happily hops on, and worse of all, I'm afraid this whole T-Rump nonsense has made you totally lose your sense of humour.
Sometimes - things are so ridiculous you just have to make a joke of it!
Take a chill pill Jeff.
Knowing about half my countrymen & women disagree with me is very unsettling. I’m ashamed of our representatives in government & that so many consider them ‘our leaders’.
Personal faves -“ Picasso of pettiness “ and “Shakespeare of shit,” and of course the clincher last line. Brilliant - thanks for the brain rub.
They will never give up.
You win the "I don't know how to use Capitalisation when writing my surname name award!"
Other than that - We don't live in the UK - and NATE SPEAKS FOR US, NATE SPEAKS FOR THE WORLD, AND HE PROBABLY SPEAKS FOR THE WHOLE DARN UNIVERSE when it comes to your pathetic master that you pathetically follow so blindly.
No one could have said it better. Finally we have a definition of Trump that qualifies to be in every dictionary in the world!
Very well said!
And also very very Sad!
25% - we would all so like to believe this is true. But facts are facts - almost 50% voted for him - knowing exactly what he is - says a lot about who they are ...
And sooo true!
Why, Obama recently commented that when he, a Democrat, took over from Bush jnr., a Republican, the handover could not have been smoother, & Bush jnr could not have been more cooperative; the way it should, & has, always been!
So not only will Trump go down in history as one of the USA’s worst ever Presidents, he’ll also be remembered as being one of the most UNPATRIOTIC, placing his pride & vanity above what is best for the country! SHAME on him!
The devil cannot see itself in a mirror. Neither can a bloodsucking vampire!
But they CAN see themselves in others - and indeed they have!
Your article spoke the truth and I am hopeful that our future ,moving forward ,would be a much more loving, peaceful and forgiving County with all the good attributes you spoke about’. Blessings 🙏
#NotMyPresident. I did not vote for him! I have taught Emotional Responsibility for 33 years, and this human is no where near fitting that description! He is without humanities. So we all agree with this article, ones who have half a mind.
What of the 70 million folks who do not, refuse to, cannot see all these facts? This is the WHO we live among! This is the most scary of scary bits! As an educator this population is in sore need of education. They missed social studies. Global view training. Consciousness awareness week! Intelligence boot camp! And yet, we must face this breakdown in society head on with education programs on: racism, global consciousness, any consciousness, being their own authority vs seeking it outside themselves, kindness, what makes for an intelligent person, how to include ‘other’, basic decency, and absolutely, manners!
So I see massive teaching/coaching/consulting jobs, programs, curriculums to be designed and birthed in the world, because it isn’t just in America, these issues. It is a human consciousness evolution demand that must take place along side Climate Recovery, Social Reform, Economic Balancing, Judicial Reform, Racial Awareness/reform, Basic Spiritual Infrastructure Building! All systems have run their course, like the roads and bridges, from an olden world into the demands of a modern world need. Global consciousness is paramount. There is no our water, our air, our plot of Earth that will do anymore. Politics aside, we need Conscious Leadership in every single arena! In every single country! Well maybe Bhutan has it right!
So who is with me to co-design educational courses for a better world?
No one WANTS them, no one NEEDS them, & frankly they’re pretty irrelevant now, & VERY VERY redundant!
Old fart face not only lost the Electoral College, but also the popular vote by a MASSIVE 5 million votes.
Does he not realise that he’s an ABSOLUTE loser—-?
I cried and became inconsolable when I heard that he was running for President. There aren’t any words to
explain the pain I felt when I understood “how” he won and that he did not get the majority of votes from
“We The People”. I am, again, hopeful since he lost reelection. I am also saddened by the number of people
who ignorantly voted for him again. We cannot allow the “Trumps” of the world to threaten our Democracy!
PS: I voted for President Elect Joe Biden in Pennsylvania 🕊
But, the one who wrote the above comments on Trump has used, without doubt, with abusive and foul language with a heart filled with much hatred! An article in utterly bad taste! Writing ill of others is always in bad taste!
It tells quite a lot about the author/writer, his mindset, his personality, his character and what not!
So much for British decency! Or, is it British superiority complex?
Maybe you should study his personality before you call out the author like this.
I'd like to be nicer, but - let's face it - you're an idiot!
So you Love your President - awe ... how sweet. Does Nate's very good description fit you too.
* Lost popular vote (twice)
* Named an Unindicted co-conspirater
* Operated a scam University (fined $25 million)
* Ran a fraudulent Charity (fined $2 million)
* Bankrupted 6 companies
* Stiffed contractors out of thousands of dollars
* Banged a porn star while wife was breastfeeding his son
* Degraded veterans, POWs and Gold Star families
* Told 20,000 verifiable lies
* Responsible for the death of 250,000+
And now this craven, morally-bankrupt walking sack of horse manure is actively putting us all in danger and doing irreparable harm to our democracy because he doesn't like the outcome of a free and fair election he claims was rigged. With not a shred of evidence. And 72 million people cheer this lying scumbag on. Because this is what passes for patriotism in America 2020.
Well done Red Hats, well done.
make sure he does not come back,
psalm 92 vs 7 - When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be
destroyed for ever: We keep praying him and all of his racist people will be gone forever in the name of Jesus. Trump is the devil.
"He punked down every country in the world" = he tried to Bully them - they laughed in his face.
"nominated for four Nobel prizes" = Nominated by bigots, obviously Won fuk-all thanks to decent judges
"created the largest economy in the history of the nation" = Rode the Obama Biden upswing momentum as long as he could before crashing
“closed the country” = Too late to make a difference
“saved thousands to millions of American lives” = West just can’t count!
“Cuomo in New York State” = Save saved thousands of American lives
‘Don't forget names like Marx, Lennin, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao” = Please remember Trump (if if we could forget – even of we wanted to!)
“you had better study the history of Socialism/Communism” = then please tell me how it work because I know Fuk-All.
“He has put money in our pockets” = by stealing from your healthcare, allowing potholes on your roads, cancelling a good Obama Pandemic response plan so that you can die instead, and giving your kids a crappier education”
“He has put America first” = 1st for deaths, 1st for Gun Violence, 1st for racism, 1st for bigotry, 1st for a country divided,1st for kneeling on mans neck so that the world can see how pathetic the US has become,
“I will settle for Trump” = Nate’s description works for me too.
There are 70 million more of these ... real big troubles ahead.
Only "free thinking" Americans should be allowed to vote. Now we need a brainwash test kit to disqualify the cult members.
(2) The fact of the matter is that approximately 50% of the American Voters have voted for the Republican Candidate of which most of them are Party Loyalists and have voted on Party lines . A better Republican Candidate would certainly have resulted in an easy re- election for the Republicans into the Presidency.
1. Nate is referring to the UK, not the whole world.
2. No! No! No! These are DJ Trump supporters, not party loyalists. Their placards say Trump, not Republican Party. Where is your evidence that says otherwise?
Pray this is true, & that it comes to pass! Fingers crossed!
Amen!
Actually impossible to embolish this TRUE CHARACTERIZATION !
Spot on! And he's the Hemingway of horse manure, too.
Thanks y'all from Texas!
But then - Nate might as well speak for ALL of the rest of the world aswell. We don't live in the UK, we don't live in America, we have friends in many other countries, and for all of us (friends included), Nate is 100% Spot-on.
Your attempt to deflect from the truth I stated is sophomoric. 'Trump supporters are racist.' How utterly embarrassed I am for you. Five years and you're still squawking like a hen.
I'm ashamed of him. Ashamed of this country.
Some of my ancestors were African and I wish I could go back but there's no return policy on stolen goods.
He's a disgrace to humanity.
Americans ignorantly confuse socialism with "socialists".
In reality democracy and socialism work very well side by side. Socialism means that things like healthcare and education are considered a right for all and not to be reserved for the wealthy only. This is where American falls far short and this is why Americans do not nearly enjoy the quality of life that correctly applying good socialism practices within a democracy can bring.
Despite the American propaganda myths, there is very little connection between economic performance and welfare expenditure. Examples are Canada, Denmark and Finland - all more socialistic than America with much higher average quality of life (as measured by US agencies, and US researchers).

Extract of Abstract:
This study compared capitalist and socialist countries in measures of the physical quality of life (PQL), taking into account the level of economic development.
PQL variables included indicators of health, health services, demographic conditions, and nutrition (infant mortality rate, child death rate, life expectancy, crude death rate, crude birth rate, population per physician, population per nursing person, and daily per capita calorie supply); measures of education (adult literacy rate, enrolment in secondary education, and enrolment in higher education).
The data indicated that the socialist countries generally have achieved better PQL outcomes than the capitalist countries at equivalent levels of economic development.
In the meantime, we will try to put Trump and his crooked family behind bars here.
Thanks for the truthful analysis of our Horror Show!
God Bless and stay safe across the the Pond, my Man!

Flying monkeys are usually unwittingly manipulated people who believe the smears about the victim/s.
Flying monkeys do the narcissist's bidding to inflict additional torment on the target. This consists of spying, spreading gossip, threatening, painting the narcissist as the victim (victim playing) and the target as the perpetrator (victim blaming).
What you don't appreciate is that Trump (the narcissist) will not hesitate to make flying monkeys (His Followers) his scapegoats when and if needed
The flying monkeys may make it seem like the narcissist is not really involved, and they likely have no idea that they are being used. Nicely brainwashed and clueless!
It's such a shame you cannot even be decent about 'excusing 'why you voted for Trump. If you hate and despise Biden so much, why not leave the vote BLANK!? Why do you find it so necessary to be so nasty & mean? You really are just like Trump! No wonder the rest of the world is laughing at us!!!
He now refuses to ‘hand over’ to Biden; there is badly lacking the normal transitional process that should exist between an incumbent President & his successor. And with the Pandemic raging, this will inevitably result in MORE Covid deaths than had a ‘normal handover’ taken place, thus enhancing Trump’s already pathetic reputation.
Yes, the worst EVER POTUS!
Even those who "joke about Empire", or joke about those who still relish in the thought-universe of Empire, or joke about those who still seem to live in it like Jacob Rees Mogg, struggle to truly see it what it is. Remember, Jacob Rees Mogg would gladly joke about himself, while nevertheless unerringly steering the country towards authoritarianism of a 19th century flavour. The British "humour" is delightful at its finest, but it is down-right denial all too often. Because if you joke about something you don't need to worry it might be eating away at your roots. When looked at it from a real-world perspective however, the British Conservatives joined the extreme right faction in the European Parliament in 2009, turning their backs on their fellow Conservatives from other EU nations. That was 7 years prior to Brexit or Trump. And no one was laughing in Europe.
The British laugh about Trump not because he is laughable, but because it distracts them from looking in the mirror and admitting they themselves have sunk to Trumps level before Trump was even elected president in 2016. Modern-day UK is a sore loser, a whiner and an equally sore winner, and they are "Boris Johnson type" funny ... they might make you smile a few times until you realize the moral and humourless vacuum behind it.
But the difference is that Britain now is pretty much a relatively unimportant country, on the north west corner, but NO longer, in Europe, this enhancing her irrelevance.
Trump, on the other hand, is (was) possibly one of the 2 most Important humans on the planet (with Putin), so his flawed personality is (was) of FAR greater relevance than that of that unimportant English twat Jacob Reece Mogg!
It is important to distinguish between communism, socialism and social democracy. The latter was imposed in European countries since the end of the Second World War, and has made possible the economic growth and sustainable development of countries such as Germany, France, England, Sweden, Norway, Finland and others. American liberalism is a form of social democracy, which began with Rosselvet's New Deal and which Ronald Reagan began to dismantle. Reagan, and later Trump, are betting on savage capitalism, with no consideration for the people who suffer.
In their political campaign, the Republicans have tried to sell the idea that the liberals will make the United States a new Cuba or a new Venezuela. Nothing is further from reality. Political Liberalism starts from some basic premises: respect for individual freedoms, freedom of business and free competition. None of this exists in a socialist or communist regime.
I guess some Trump supporters voted in his favor to prevent the United States of America from becoming a new Cuba or Venezuela. Of course, that's just a big lie that has no basis in any of the liberals' political theories or programs.
If someone wanted to get a proper idea of the spirit of liberalism, they could read two books by the most important Anglo-Saxon philosopher of the 20th century: John Rawls of Harvard University. His books are: A Theory of Justice and Political Liberalism.
“The basket of deplorables” To quote Hilary Clinton .
So sad !!!
Thanks you. THATS our president, sad, however true.... please FORGIVE US.
he is an embarrassment to the U.S. I feel like we need to tell a lot of countries (our friends) that we are sorry. I have no idea why all those people follow him (as in lemmings). Are they all racist ........ etc??
And HIS rationale for having done them?
I've wondered about that and WHERE I might learn something about it.
Thing is about him. Oh and he’s never wrong NOT!!!!! But I hope the British people don’t think we are all like him, cause we are not most of us have hearts which is something he doesn’t have!
Simple, all of which spell ‘TURDS’!
There is no doubt that trump is a snake-oil salesman. What is sickening is the appeal he has to so many in this country. There are some many resources to self-educate, but the bubble people live in is stronger than their desire to think critically. Pathetic.
There are many among us who recognize understand the deviance in his and our fellow citizens behavior, but are hands are tied until education, kindness, and humanity can triumph.
Joe Biden, November 2020
ANOTHER unpatriotic twat, who’s leading his country to total ruin!
Thank You from San Francisco
Trump’s flaws. His recklessness can undo our democracy. It is my prayer. Biden can pull our country together.
The USA would be in a better place.
AND (not “but”) we 78 million "winners" are going to have to figure out how to co-exist with his 73 million voters who either like him and/or simply don’t get that the dire consequences of him and his ilk will ultimately harm them and those they care about. Just because they are many doesn’t mean they’re wise. Hitler’s followers might have demanded respect given their numbers. At they start, they were probably not all diagnosable either.
But never underestimate the cruelty of the Believer? How frightening to be swimming now in such murky waters. Help me think, please. What do we need to grasp, to become, to do, in order to allow emotionally intelligent, rational, critical thinking to take root in the USA ? And, please, also more of a the Brit’s sense of humor – or, rather, humour.
Thank you, Brenda! BUT, given that many, many of us delight also in (non-weaponized) male parts, let's agree: No more insulting of our dear genitalia by sticking their nicknames onto nasty, odious, disgusting, flaccid, heartless stinky, cruel, weak, mean, whining, bullying...etc. humans, of any gender.
Shakespeare’s more fun: "Observe him, for the love of mockery." "Teach me how I should forget to think." "You breathe in vain." "Out, dunghill!"
cruelty and privilege of his parents. He has no humor because he is an intellectually slow processor and he bullies because he needs to be in control of others as he has no control of himself. He has No organizational or structure skills to fall back on but has figured out how to intimidate and fear monger others. His privilege has protected him and his lack of conscience and empathy has as well. He uses the tools of privilege such as lawyers to be his mouthpieces and others to fill his need of complimentary professionals while taking their knowledge as his own. He is the king of his own delusions and he will smite you if you should defy or mock him. He is a world class conman but it is always short lived to any reasonable result because like the ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) untrained or educated he has a short attention span and gets bored very quickly. His passion is money and power and complete adulation. His minions are susceptible to propaganda and conspiracy theories and are comforted by his seemingly quirkiness that entertains them. They live vicariously through him absorbing in their own deficiencies that which fills their own needs with no distinction to gender. He has been unleashed on the world no different then other despots and history will record his failures and his misgivings equally inclusive to his crimes against humanity yet to be reckoned with. This cataclysmic pandemic and environmental impact will have future global scarring of significant magnitude.
But the one BIG difference I’ve noticed is that in your US Trump rallies, you DO see the odd non white face—- NEVER in similar U.K. rallies; had a non white person attend one of say Farage’s rallies (mostly held by a port ie an entry point for foreigners, hence poignant), the poor non white would probably be beaten up.
But hopefully with Trump on the way out, normality may well return, not just in your great nation, but, & maybe as a result, in other nations also—-yours is a good post!
Followers. It seems they have no ability to see -think-or feel!
That is ever scarier !!
1) Vote for a polished corrupt man who said he would fight against my issues.
2) Vote for an unpolished corrupt man who who said he would fight for my issues.
I care more about positive policy changes than if my current president is likeable. Maybe someday there will be a candidate who isn’t morally corrupt. Then I might vote for a candidate rather than issues.
Trump’s powerful misinformation/propaganda network including Fox News, Twitter and Facebook were key to brainwashing the many millions of American for 4 years.
Why, when he beat Hilary in 2016, she’d beaten him by more than 3 million popular votes.
Sorry, fart face, but Biden scored over 5 million more popular votes than you, PLUS of course he also screwed you as far as the Electoral College votes were concerned.
Add to this, you’ve presided over 230000+ Covid deaths (& rising)—--had there been a proper POTUS in situ, it’s been suggested that the death toll would have been around 170000
So, you’ve also presided over some
60000 deaths.
One saving grace though—-lucky you have such a WONDERFUL personality!
Thank you!
Ah, but trolls are a product of Norwegian culture, and Trump has nothing in common with those admirable, sensible and moderate people -- EXCEPT one: Anders Behring Breivik, the far-right-wing Norweigian terrorist who, in 2011, detonated a car bomb in Oslo's government center, killing eight, and then, because the day was still young, murdered 69 on a small island with automatic weapons fire, most of them children and adolescents at a summerc camp run by Norway's ruling political party, for no reason other than that their politics were not his politics and his belief that no one deserves to walk the earth who does not agree.
The now-imprisoned Brevik surely approves of Trump and Trump -- should he be reminded of who Brevik is, what he did and why -- likely approves of Brevik, as the pair share the same unshakable sense of superiority and entitlement. Trump will continue to plant metaphorical and rhetorical bombs, but leave it to his acolytes, America's Breviks, to build and plant the literal ones.
"Troll" is too mild a word to apply to Trump, as is the now far-too-genteel word "hypocrite," both lost in an era in which the very air we all breathe has become corrosive. What Trump really is is something he shares with Brevik: they are both criminals.
big words and condescension.
I’d love to know what “big words” Democrats have used to bully their opponents. I can only assume they’re bigger than “snowflake” “libtard” “elite” “socialist” “commies” & “radical”.
And now Donald is chasing windmill as a confused Don Quixote while his people laying around dying from Corona.
His sword is lawyers that launch the groundless allegations of voter fraud where there are none.
Donald Quixiote Trump only focus is to tweeting conspiracy theories about Biden Steal his election.
We must put our hopes that Sancho Panza start fight injustice through chivalry. (Republicans senate)
I am relieved the world sees him for what he is. Let's not fault his children for his craziness.
(1) enhancing his wealth, (2) retribution, (3) enhancing his power.
If you think that , in order to maintain/increase his power and influence, he gives a damn about destroying the institutions that have enabled this republic, then I have a bridge you may want to buy... The man glorifies and emulates tyrants; he envies them and would join their ranks here in the US in a heartbeat. He's working on it even now.
I believe President Trump is what we define as a personality disorder. He is an extreme narcissist; and therefore, is only able to care about himself, not others. Narcissists only want you to like them to get their way. If you don’t agree, then they have no use for you. He is also a pathological liar, using his words to paint the picture of what he wants others to see, whether true or not.
Unfortunately, there is no magic pill to correct this. No amount of criticism or pleading or losses can open his eyes to “see the light”. This is not a matter for logic, for “should be’s”. I think that is what frustrates some people.
My comments apply to all narcissists, not just Mr. Trump.
He should have used words like - Bully, Paedophile, Mysogynyst, Racist, Thief and given his deliberate mis-management of CoviD - MASS-MURDERER - but Nate is a Gentlemen, and so he did not !
It is only possible to describe such a being - and Nate has done this well.
Here is a more intelligent analysis - old but still good ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8VOM8ET1WU
1. The USA was built on capitalism that was tempered by Christian values such as taking care of the poor (which role was filled largely by churches)
2. This works for 200 years until we get so successful that we feel like we don't need God (for various reasons).
3. Capitalism then gets out of control, making our country more of an oligarchy than a democracy. Big businesses throw around their weight and get greedy. The middle class diminishes, leaving bigger upper and lower classes. Everyone is miserable in one way or another.
4. Everyone agrees that things are bad and need to change, but we can't agree on how.
5. The dwindling middle class is mostly republican (conservative) and thinks we should go back to what worked for so long by preserving capitalism and encouraging conservative values.
6. The upper and lower classes are mostly democratic (liberal) and believe that socialism is the only way to bring prosperity and fairness.
I am conservative and I really, really wish we had had a better candidate. The democrats probably would have won by more if they had a better candidate. Both candidates were not good choices. However, I voted for Trump, even though he is mean and very un-Christlike because as a businessman he at least understands the value of capitalism. He also promised to support conservative issues such as being against abortion. I have no idea if he actually believes in conservative values since his life doesn't reflect them, but he said he would and he did.
Liberals won the presidency and it looks like conservatives are taking the Senate. Supreme Court justices, who are supposed to be impartial but aren't, just changed to be a more conservative majority. Folks, this struggle has been decades in the making and isn't going to be solved with one election or any time soon.
Frankly, articles like this one just spew hate and encourage us to dehumanize each other. Please stop throwing gas on the flames of our struggles.
In 3. you say that capitalism is out of control, and one root cause of the problem, then in 5 you say its worked for so long!
By conservative values, you seem to mean Christian values, yet you vote for a thug who has broken almost every commandment that Christians hold dear.
1. You shall have no other gods before Me. Trumps god is $$$
6. You shall not murder. He has killed 250,000 Americans and counting ... by not giving a CoviDamn
7. You shall not commit adultery. .... Except with Pornstars?
8. You shall not steal. ... 6+ Bankrupcies to his name where creditors lost 100's of millions. Now he is trying to steal the election?
9. You shall not bear false witness - Trump is a serial Liar, 25,000 lies since 2016 and counting.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife ... but an unwelcome grab of the fanny is OK ... not!
- you want fair play, I get it.
- You want a way out of the unhappiness - I get that too?
But why are you choosing to go with Trump?
I'd bet that what Bernie is offering is what you really want. Forget the Right, Left, Middle lable nonsense, and look at the proposed policies. And, as a bonus, you get a rather decent human on top that sincerely wants our kids to have a better future !

A short Extract ...
Jobs and economy
Mr Sanders says he would invest $1 trillion to modernise America’s infrastructure over the next five years. It would be paid for by closing loopholes that allow corporations to avoid paying taxes by, among other things, shifting their profits to the Cayman Islands and other offshore tax havens. He says the plan would create more than 13m jobs. He proposes a clean energy workforce and an investment of $5.5bn to create one million jobs for young Americans and provide job training for hundreds of thousands of others.
One study found average family income would jump by $22,000 per year and unemployment would fall to 3.8 per cent, if his policies were followed. The report, carried out by Gerald Friedman, an economics professor at University of Massachusetts Amherst, found that 26m jobs would be created and poverty would drop to 6 per cent,
I give you a lot of credit for answering those of us who have asked questions. Thank you.

You most certainly can fool over 70 million adult Americans for a very very long time, and you can even fools those fools with a fool !

But Sadly - almost half voted for him - so closer to 1/2 not 1/3.
Make no mistake - America is far more divided than we might chose to hope! We must not ignore this truth - we must confront it head on or it cannot be fixed!

I would stand there watching, as the salt worked its magic on that slug!

What people ins not seeing os this third world war where the left just won USA elections.
Obame certainly have weekened America a lot a s now if anyone know who is Biden the worst is to come.
Lets seat ( at home) and wait to see
Vladimir Putin is playing him like a banjo and who can blame him. As the old adage says, if you can find a fool or better still an idiot make use of him. The question is who has allowed him to do so?. Answer! You have, the GOP and Donald Trump's predominately redneck wave. Drain the swamp my arse, he has filled it to overflowing. Build the wall doh thankfully that never happened as It took the world 28 years to remove the last one. They used to say that 'Money is the root of all evil' that still holds true but it is high time it's updated to incl Nationalism and power hungry people with illusions of grandeur. You wanted your photograph to be in the dictators/despots hall of fame but alas Donald it has gradually adopted the look of a Salvidor Dali clock face. Wake up Donald, the dream is over.
UK cousin.
The point of this article is to show that Nostradamus, while his date may have been out, was accurate in his prediction that "In the home of greatest power, The village idiot will come forth, To be acclaimed the leader"
The point of this article is to show that history repeats itself. Fear-based brainwashing by an Authoritarian to this extent has happened many times before to a previously decent and enlightened people (Example Germany 1933-1945)- yet we have still not learnt from the past.
If there were only 7million bigots in the USA - it would be a FAR FAR better place. Sadly, 63million more of your type deserve to be insulted, and insulted ... and !
Nate speaks for the WORLD, all 7+ BILLION non-Amercinas ... as well as the other 52% of sensible Americans - If anything, Nate was being quite nice really and pulling his punches like a gentleman would !
How is it that you are repulsed by aristocracy, elistism, bullying, condescension and privilege, yet you find Don Trumpet “ rather endearing”
Trump has no wit – he can barely understand a joke, nor tell one!
Trump was born elite and rich, and went to elitist schools and college!
He is useless as an entrepreneur – more than half a dozen bankruptcies to his name!
So what exactly is it that you find so endearing? Is it the fact that he cheated on his wife with a Porn Star? Is it the fact that he grabs women by the fanny without their permission? Is it his love of fast food? Is it his racist rhetoric? Is it the fact that he barely survived Covid thanks to 11+ doctors, fancy breathing machines, and state of the art drugs that you would NEVER get while a few thousand more Americans died today with no doctors, no equipment and no drugs for them!
What exactly is it – we all want to know? We really do?
Also, I am sick and tired of Trump’s Dementors looking upon themselves as “patriots,” as if adorning yourselves with the American flag, (or humping it, in Trump’s case), makes you superior, or a better American. Real Americans respect the Constitution, which Trump is trying to destroy. We respect the Statue of Liberty as our symbol of hope and freedom, which Trump has again destroyed. We respect our friends and allies, knowing that working WITH other countries makes the world a better place for us all. Trump is all about enriching himself.
We may have once been “entrepreneurial rugged individualists” at one point, but now we are filled with selfish brats, science deniers, “patriots” that don’t like their “freedoms” infringed upon...in general, idiots.
As for the “7 million voting American Patriots” that Nate insulted, that is 2% of the population. Who cares what those racist, misogynistic, nationalists think.
'Tu whit' doesn't mean anything. Neither does "to whit" A whit is a teeny, tiny amount. No wonder those evil Brits laughed at you.
He and his son are both crooks and lie through their teeth
You are right about one thing - the writer should not speak for his country.
Instead - he should speak for the Entire World - because make no mistake, the Entire World, not just the UK, views Trump's America as a total madhouse fit for a good laugh and not much more.

Muammar Gaddafi stated "There are signs that Allah will grant victory to Islam in Europe without swords, without guns, without conquest. We don't need terrorists, we don't need homicide bombers. The 50+ Million Muslims in Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades."
President Trump has issued a call to action for all real Americans to stand up against this onslaught toward Muslim world domination.
Good nepotism for his family. Good tax breaks for rich Americans. Good breaks for filthy rich oil-barons. Good to show our Children an example of bad leadership. Good for Gun Stores. Good for school shooters.
But most of all, as far as you and I are concerned - absolutely Good ... for Nothing!
Come on, Mr Trump—-why should YOU be involved? You’re an isolationist, wanting to disown NATO, & discrediting the EU (the European Union); & Pfizer is a German company, with Germany perhaps the EU’s premier nation!
But most telling—-you’ve left WHO (the Wealth Health Organisation), so frankly, you, as the isolationist President (now ex) of the USA, had no right WHATSOEVER in the involvement of this ‘German created, international vaccine’!
If you believe in God, then you should believe He gave you a brain for a reason. Try using it, Olakaba.

Please do not judge all Americans as a reflection of this man.
Spot on!
May I add that for those of us living in the states that all of these “little” attacks made by Mr. Trump on the people have created an uneasiness for so many of us never experienced in my 50 plus years of living in America. I don’t support nor condone racism or bullies. The fact that Mr. Trump’s comments go untethered and never demand any apology have become an almost daily headline declaring that Trump’s comments separate and tear down years of past growth towards everyone being treated equally and living as such.
The lack of education and ignorance displayed by his supporters have come to exceed those who are silenced or turn a blind eye to Trump’s antics. In the past an intelligent, fact driven non biased account of things would have been more than enough for any voice to be given to such attacks on any person or race.
Mr. Trump often starts his rhetoric with his American constitutional rights allowing him to spew whatever he wants be it fact or fiction, racist or his own personal dislikes. Somehow, and this I don’t understand, this has allowed thousands of Americans to repeat and act on what he says adding that “he’s the president he knows what’s best for us”.
Mr. Trump also begins many of his statements with “I’m the smartest guy in the room” or “I graduated from the top school in the country.” You hear people repeating this occasionally when defending Mr. Trump.
America has long suffered a need for better standards of education throughout the states. I hope that somehow we get this addressed and fixed immediately as a direct result of Mr. Trump’s actions.
Having our youth repeat any of the things he’s said from racist or sexist remarks to “windmills cause cancer” as facts or anything acceptable would truly hurt me and I hope others would agree.
I don’t know how to fix what’s happening here in America. Feeling bullied is far reaching across America right now. Sadly, some are choosing to support and refer to no action in office being taken against any of Trump’s antics as “proof” he must be right. If our own government fails to reign him in or impose any negative penalty for his behaviors what can we do? We voted him out and he’s still at it. (Less we mention Hilary Clinton had over 2 million more reported votes than Trump but lost to the electoral votes. )

It’s a nice feeling to see some of you abroad see Trump for what he is at a time when he is louder than ever. We can only wait and see what America will take away from the last 4 years and how quickly we can put it behind us.
While many Americans are more enlightened, the sad fact is that the red states are still majority-full of confederate-age, wannabee-slavelord, zombies who wish it was still 1860 - and there aint no cure for that!
A cure for bigotvoter2016 will be worth far more than a cure for Covid19!
The Polls did not get it wrong - the bigots just lied because they were afraid to say in public that they would be voting for Trump - Shameful Closet bigots in hiding!
Thank you for your article
the American people actually bought his lead clown act. A good many of us already knew if his lips were moving, he was weaving whole cloth lies.
over 20,000 of them on record. And yet the sheeple still believed in this vile creature. 74 million of us said loudly the experiment is over. Na, na, na
na, hey hey hey GOODBYE!!!
Debra, Houston Texas
What's your excuse to have voted for a bigot president when you have so much sun!
The style of greedy Kind Midas and the Manners of a Thug!
Open your eyes bigots, and rejoice that the wool will soon be removed from over your eyes! Be Enlighted by understanding how decency and fairness can enrich your life.
And what the hell are you talking about? Disappearing votes? Are you actually saying that almost 43,000 votes for Trump disappeared? Trump’s LEAD dwindled due to absentee ballots, not because someone tampered with his vote count! Reading comprehension is important, Sara. THIS is why Trump says he loves the uneducated, because they don’t have the critical thinking skills to cut through the Trump bullish!t.
I challenge you to back up your Biden claims. As hard as Trump has tried, he hasn’t come up with anything credible yet.
Hey England- news flash! Our Declaration of Independence states you are an enemy & foe in times of peace & an ally when in time of war. Know your place.
I find it amusing that you mention “bought every word that reporters told them about.” And where do you get YOUR news, Bridget? Please enlighten us. Do you ignore solid reporting that is backed up by facts and actual numbers, or do you believe Loony Guiliani, Rush Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson, and the biggest liar himself - Trump, who are trying to convince you that the only way Trump could possibly have lost is that millions of ballots have been either fraudulent or miscounted? And they have provided NO PROOF for their claims, other than “somebody saw ...”. And that’s good enough for YOU to be convinced that Trump was robbed? Shame on you.
President. He used that money to fix tombstones of veterans that died during the war. As the saying goes “angry or envy”.
Then he gets to pass laws that boost his share values by 100's of millions - ha ha for you!
Thanks for voting for him and making the American rich even richer - sucker
It is an embarrassment not only that this man was elected, but that there are people that still believe he should be in office for another 4 years.
I still cannot wrap my head around how he has such a large, fervent base who are willing to defend him to the ends of the earth, while encouraging and engaging in despicable behavior. Watching this unfold around me, I could understand what it must have been like to live in Germany in the 1930s and how frightening it must have been for the reasonable people that remained but were unheard.
He does not talk no-nonsense rhetoric – he spews all-nonsense rhetoric!
He does not say what he means, he is just mean in what he says!
How can you possibly feel safer when we are more divided than ever!
Hurl chunks all you want – your King’s dreams of a brainwashed kingdom is now dead, and it will soon be forgotten. And then he is going to jail where all criminals belong.
Trump was honest and serious.
He was attacked 4 years And that is why he is so serious. He is bad with Jokes. Stupid people follows Jokers.
Sucker.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/
Off course you will say this is fake news -off course you will.
Sucker.
If you see the world in black and white only, and not all its colourful glory, then you will also be bad with jokes.
In order to understand jokes, one must have a certain level of understanding in non-verbal communication, as well as some social skills. One needs to be able to read into other people‘s tone of voice, body language or facial expressions to be able to tell that they are joking. One also needs to be able to understand double meanings of words, word play, vague hints and such. And in many cases, one also needs to be aware of some social subtleties or the way other people think.
Oh Hazel - Have you gone Nuts!
Trump does not stand up to China, Russia, Iran and North Korea - He praises how their people "listen when their Autocrats talks" That's why you listen to him.
He does not put American First - He puts RICH-Americans first - While you rejoiced at a few extra hundred dollars thanks to token tax cuts, his pals saw extra millions in their hands. While you were glad that you could buy more KFC, they bought more boats and houses! What uncle Donald “forgot” to tell you is that thanks to those tax cuts your roads will have more potholes, your trash will be collected less frequently, your kids will be less educated, and if you or anyone in your family ever got really sick – you would definitely have to sell your house to pay the bills.
While you and someone you know was coughing out a corona infected lung, his pals grew their net worth by quite a few billions – tell me - how did you do? Did that infected person have 11 doctors around when sick, with access to the latest drugs – or are they still tired, confused and still coughing a few months later.
Macho men stand up for the weak and bullied – they don’t laugh and ridicule them.
Macho men play fair – they don’t appoint unqualified family and friends to high positions.
Macho men first tell the world how their infected wife is doing when infected by Corona, before talking about themselves.
Macho men remember to get gifts for their wives on their birthdays.
Wives of macho men proudly hold their hands, not slap it away.
Trump is the very opposite of Macho – he is the loud village idiot whose lies too many believed.
WHO could this trespasser possibly be?
He's an unrepentant bold faced liar, he's skillful at deceiving ignorant racist Americans, because he is ignorant and racist, Trump is a successful misogynist, tax fraud specialist, and has taken the office of the presidency to all new lows by trying to run the country sitting on the toilet tweeting: he knows how to use a smart phone, Wow! He's good at emboldening hate mongers, néo-nazis and rednecks everywhere anywhere. And to add a little criticism, Donald probably has a tiny penis and plays lousy golf!
Oh how the wool has been pulled over your eyes! Donald is not your friend, he is very much the friend of the very big-corporate that has enslaved you all your life!
While you were coughing out a corona infected lung, his pals grew their net worth by quite a few billions – tell me - how did you do?
While you rejoiced at a few extra hundred dollars thanks to token tax cuts, top earners saw extra tens and hundreds of thousands in their hands. While you were glad that you could buy more KFC, they bought more cars, boats and houses! What uncle Donald “forgot” to tell you is that thanks to those tax cuts your roads will have more potholes, your trash will be collected less frequently, your kids will be less educated, and if you or anyone in your family ever got really sick – you would definitely have to sell your house to pay the bills.
Salty – if you are upset with government stagnation and corporate greed – you really should be voting Bernie. Have a good look at who really represents your interest!
It shouldn’t be over – but by now your brainswashing by the greedy corporate Trump-card really should be.
I couldn't agree with you more. As an American, I'm ashamed and appalled by Trump each and every day. I'm heart sick that roughly 48% of Americans actually voted for him this election. My God, how could they? It's almost incomprehensible that ANYONE would support such an awful excuse for a human being. I did read that a large percentage of his supporters are white, rural, high school educated men - in other words, poorly educated crackers. No wonder Trump appeals to them.
I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I get nervous any time I have to drive through rural areas and small towns. The countryside is beautiful, but it hides a lot of downright scary people. I hear banjos, I swear.
Thanks for this description of Trump. It's spot on.
Did Trump get elected by ‘ borrowing a Republican ‘ suit ‘ then staining it with everything including body fluids, burning cigaret holes in it, tearing it, then throwing it all crushed up in the corner as he created the Trumplican party with true republicans afraid to speak up because their power needs were being fulfilled? ‘
I live in America and am appalled at the move towards the lowest common denominator that Trump represents in every domain the writer mentions. He does not in any way reflect the Americans that I know, but I fear he does reflect the values of many that I don’t know. He wouldn’t be around if he didn’t. That’s the pathetic and scary part.
We just can’t comprehend how you can’t see it, how so many of you can’t see it.
Personally, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a severe lack of education - Trump voters are so disproportionately stupid, and they like Trump because he validates white supremacy, sexism, guns, selfishness and greed (traits that many borderline retarded individuals also hold).
I used to think it was a difference between good and evil, but now I can see that it’s just the uneducated v the educated, and there was a small amount of relief for me in learning that.
So I don’t think your evil AL, you’re just really really fucking dumb.
Read a book you pathetic mong.

Trump's misogynism, attitude to those less fortunate than he has been and general lack of respect for the human race is evident each time he says or tweets anything.
Trump definitely did more than anyone has achieved in 4 years - America is now the laughing stock of the world, has the highest Corona death tally in the world, the worse health care of any developed country, the highest degree of blatantly racism of any developed country, the most kids shot at school, the most progress in Nuclear development by North Korea under any US presidents watch, the most rounds of Golf by a sitting president, the most kissing up to dictators, the most rude to US allies, the most lies in office, the most number of doctors (11+) to treat "Corona - its only a bit worse than the flu", the most twitter one liners, the most KFC, the most hand smack-offs by a 1st lady. Oh yes - he is the most! Thankfully we won't take no more!
His murderous policies and idiotic inefficiency has led to the death of thousands of Americans, he already killed more Americans than nazi Germany did. Just compare the figures from WW2: form the pandemics to climate change (millions predicted dead), he is probably the greatest mass murderer in human history.
Thank you so much for the stress relief on a very stressful day!

PLAUSIBLE SCENARIO: Trump loses by a whisker; refuses to accept defeat; tries to form a new government, but decent Republican leaders, valuing the concept of democracy & fair play (AND the credibility of the USA at stake), simply refuse point blank to ‘take office’. Result? The resident freak then replaces Pence, Pompeo, Mnuchin, & Esper with the likes of Melania, Kushner, Ivanka & Donald Trump jnr.! Happy days!
Shades of Kim of North Korea?
Don’t bet against it!
Not sure what they’re known as in the US, but in the U.K., they’re known as “men in white coats”—-the ones who you say are gonna tale Trump away, ideally in a straight jacket! LOVE it!
Ha, Ha!
Truly a liar on steroids. Yet Americans love this Piece of shi_!
Thanks for describing Trump for what he is. Obama had more class in his pinky finger!
And our economy is in the crapper now, thanks to Trump’s mishandling of Covid, which he STILL insists is going away, ignoring the record number of new cases a day here in the US. Obama handed him a thriving economy, and Trump blew it because he only cares about himself. He doesn’t care about the fools who pack themselves in to his rallies with no masks as long as you feed his huge ego.
Compassion from Trump?? That’s a new one, Randall!
And have you considered why the “Dems have done nothing since Trump was elected”? Perhaps you missed Mitch “Grim Reaper” McConnell’s boast to FOX News that there are 395 bills on his desk that he will not introduce for a vote. The Dems can’t force a vote in the Senate.
I do appreciate that you said it was your opinion, and I agree with you 100% about Twitter. No Twitter or Facebook for me! Thanks.
That, Joe can start mending, with Britain first.
Thank you so much for describing this LOSER, Cheat, Corrupt from head to toe IDIOT PSYCHOPATH.
I find myself relieved to be sheltering at home from my fellow Americans more from those with Trump plague than Covid19.
You are probably convinced that all the wars the US has fought , and still fight, are a result of purely altruistic reasons. The reason you believe that is because you are ignorant of history ( as are so many Americans ) uninformed and brainwashed. I respect and am appreciative of what Americans did in WW2, but it’s a fact that they entered after being attacked by Japan. Google it. As for all the wars America has fought since, all the talk about our warriors ( we don’t call them soldiers anymore) fighting for our freedoms is bs. They fight for a purely economic reason. America is in decline, and Trump is accelerating such decline.Better heed the old adage: Be nice to the people you meet going up the ladder of success, for they will be the same people you’ll meet on the way down. The era of “The ugly American” is over my friend.
Is the epitome of the American Psyche. Scratch any American and below the fake civilised skin is the Psyche that Trump totally demonstrates. A vote for Trump is a vote for themselves. They totally deserve to have this President.
Good news : sixty percent of Americans back Biden-Harris.
Bad news: forty percent of Americans back Trump-Pence.
FORTY PERCENT??? Good God I never thought there would be so many ignorant stupid people.
Heh heh heh!

The British empire was built on the slave & opium trade https://www.theguardian.com/.../british-history-slavery...

You forgot to mention he has single handedly destabilized the United States of America from within. His most noteworthy accomplishment.
And - given our communistic past - I am afraid that such leaders influence moral standards and perceptions in society which is very difficult and long-term to reverse.
But a world leader, his such a tragedy.
As far as I’m aware, never before have these ‘threats’ arisen, but then Trump is a one-off, as we all know!
He is in the process of destroying the United States through his self-admitted divisive administrative style. He has given a voice to, and legitimized the most hateful, fearful, ignorant elements of our society. He follows, almost to the letter, the strategy of a dictator (refer to "The Dictator's Handbook" by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith. He is unfit to manage an Exxon station in Glasgow, Montana let alone make the decisions of a president.
press: "no one at your speech was wearing a mask" trump: "it's okay it was a just a demonstration"
So at the next debate, the non speaker’s voice is to be ‘blanked out’, via the mic ‘being silenced’.
I bet ya, what we’ll see is Trump trying to make himself heard by mouthing off into a ‘silent mic’, rather like a nasty, noisy, & dangerous dog when muzzled & mute, trying its hardest to bark!
So tomorrow you’ll most likely see the POTUS apeing a muzzled dog!
And that fluffery about Obama who had neither wit nor compassion nor grace nor humility? This is bizarro-world nonsense.
But hey, it's not like you're saying anything brave or stunning. You're just repeating the views of the corporate globalist elite who want their borderless world ruled by China, and endless wars in the middle east as long as they can make enough money out of it.
You're not even court jesters. Court jesters would at least speak truth to power. You're just power speaking to itself, congratulating itself on having Ministry-Approved views.
With his oratory skills and cognitive capacity, D.Trump would be in the bottom half of educational achievement in any European high-school. America elected an ignoramus and a snake oil salesman. A misogynist that has in recent years paid more in hush money to porn stars than in federal income taxes. It truly is time to make America sane again, for the sake of its people and the rest of the world.
Sadly, in the U.K., the marginal rate of Income tax on anyone earning more than the £ Sterling equivalent of over only approx. $80000 per annum is taxed at 40%—-& this under maybe the most right wing government that the U.K. has ever had!
So on that basis, if Biden is a socialist, Boris Johnson must be stark raving loony communist!
I guess I must have slept through “Obamagate.”

That mam gets from bad to worse!
syllables. He was dubbed by some media writers as a useful fool despite the fact that he refers to himself as "very stable genius" which became the title of a recent best seller.
He is a disgrace to the office and a an an embarrassment to our country! I have never felt this way in my life

You need the privilege to come within the sound of his voice. Attend one of his rallies.
I bet you you will come away with a different conclusion
I bet he will too. I'm quite sure that listening to Trump for an hour would make him come to the conclusion that waterboarding is more preferable than listening to him drone on about what he can do and will do in the next four years that he promised he would do 4 years ago and never did.
Look around. Does the country look better to you now? Do you want mining,
concrete roads in National Parks? Do you want to breathe and drink clean water?
Do you care that we have no friends except corrupt dictators?
That we have a “President” who lies every single day? Who promotes nepotism in
the WH? Who still hasn’t apologized to the Central Park Five or President Obama for harassment? Who chose and chooses the worst people to fill positions in return for blind loyalty. Could go on for at least another hour...just one last thing, the biggest LIAR.
And for our Canadian friends, it was a stolen election...
And to my dread and puzzlement, there are Americans who don’t care what happened in Europe once the British and French were out of 1795 America, and once we were out of 1945 France. They don’t know that France was our first friend, that England became our best, that we trivialized the admiration extended us by Germany, Russia and Japan. They don’t understand that Russia and China and Iran don’t want war because they know war like few nations. These Americans couldn’t find France or Russia or Iran or Afghanistan on a globe, caring only that America’s the exception to concords and conventions with which everyone else willingly thrives or responsibly abides. These Americans are a verifiable minority, even if our leaky ship of state allows them, undemocratically, to strut through tenures of unearned power.
Thank you for the good, true essay, along with the laughs, but the Americans who’ve read Locke and Paine look forward to removing our punchline.

Thanks for sending it!
Arlean
Achievements? Further alienating China and Iran, and bringing us to the brink of war with Korea are achievements?
So it's OK to lie about who is paying for the disastrous rounds of tariffs?
Spitting in the eyes of our allies is making America great? Kissing the asses of dictators is good for democracy?
Trying to take credit for the economic growth resulting from the guidance of Obama and claiming craedit for the meager improvements in the incomes of some racial minorities is not an achievement. It's just another lie.
His attitude to the little guy is "Tough shit.. Just step on them". From this standpoint it's no wonder he fails to recognize the need for the anti-police brutality protests, and unconstitutionally sends his brown-shirts in to make illegal detentions.
He sides with Israel to the detriment of the Palestinians, and any idea of a two-state solution is finally lost. He also sides with the dictatorship of Saudi Arabia, and holds no hope of asking them to cool it in Yemen. In all his fighting with China, he never once demanded any ounce of civility to be dealt out to the Uighars. Scoffs at the demands of those in Hong Kong. Never mentions the Tibetans. Of course, the retort would be, "But, you in the United States are not that good to your won minorities, are you?"
We will be lucky to be rid of him before he causes the next world war.
but in the end we always come shining through. So you have nothing, really, to worry about. It's early days yet, Mother, but know that your offspring will soon come Trumplessly roaring back to resume their proper place in the barrel.
America is falling apart internally because he has divided us as a nation and the reason you admire him is his record on foreign affairs? China can nuke Israel and Iran for all I care. I have to live here not there and he has really put us on the road to ruin here.
One of the things that puts so many Americans on edge is the way he flouts the long-standing conventions and rules, and attempts to rule like a dictator.
His waving the red flag in front of Nazis and KKK types, and his ambition to disregard the results of an election that goes against him makes our hair stand on end. (Even those who have his kind of flabby hair).
Tump/Pence 2020 !
We are not doing well choosing our "leaders" in the U.S.!!
Mind you, last December, at the U.K. election, we too had 2 clowns to choose from—the extreme right winger Boris, & the neo Communist, Jeremy Corbyn. So our, the Brit system ain’t that good
either!
Me that as an American I am right in all my
Thoughts of Trump. I was very embarrassed
By his inappropriate actions while he
Was in England. Please accept my
Apologies for the way he acted and
Presented himself. He is an
Embarrassment to everyone in the
United States. Many of us are trying yo
move Biden into the White House &
Trump to another part of the World.
Thank you for listening to my thoughts!
A. True American Supporter!!
America is looking for a savior to get rid of our corrupt government. Donald Trump came along at a time when the epitome of corrupt politicians happened to be running for President, Hilary Clinton. The peoples dislike for her along with the peoples dissatisfaction with our government enabled Donald Trump to be elected. Fortunately, his complete lack of ability to govern is obvious. It is doubtful that he will win the coming election because rational minds have seen the chaos that he has caused. The people who are dissatisfied with our government are still very much dissatisfied, so while Trump will be defeated this time this isn't over yet. The time will come when another savior will come along and hopefully succeed in ridding the government of career politicians and those who have sold us out.
And how typical of Trumpsters to continue to throw lying insults about Obama in your total desperation to direct attention away from Trump’s continuing meltdown.
I am for the principles for which this country has stood since its founding.
I am for Constitutional government.
I am for a strong and viable military.
I am for a vibrant economy.
I am for the right to keep and bear arms.
I am for the freedom to worship.
I am for a national recognition of the founding of our nation on Biblical principles.
I am for the ability for anyone to rise above their circumstances and become successful.
I am for my children and grandchildren to be able to choose their own path in life, including how and where their children are educated.
I am for our borders to be open to everyone who enters under our law and closed to everyone who would circumvent or ignore the law.
I am for the Electoral College to remain in place, so that a few heavily populated liberal centers do not control the elections.
I am for a Supreme Court that interprets the Constitution rather than rewrites it.
I am for teaching history, with all its warts, not erase it or revise it.
I am for the sanctity of life from conception to birth and after.
Not voting on personality, but on principle, is fine, but remember: Trump is all about personality, and ha only has two principles: self-aggrandizement, and denigration of others.
Trump wouldn't know a founding principle if he fell on it. He holds up things like gun rights only to appeal to his murderous base, and supports free speech only when the speakers are maskless, infectious racists.
As the immigrant from India said during the last election, "If you don't know what the Constitution is about, you can borrow my copy" He regularly tramples on the Constitution when he abuses the rights of minorities, and tries to undermine a free and fair election (add attacks on the Post Office, corrupt using of his office for personal profit, and several more).
A strong and viable military . . .Yet he insults our men in uniform, calling them losers, etc.
A vibrant economy? Yeah, except after Obama painstakingly brought it back from total devastation under Bush, Trump wasted little time in creating a huge deficit with his tax breaks for the rich, and when that wasn't enough, stretcing out the pandemic, so that we now are not just a trillion, but 3 or 4 trillion dollars in debt.
Too bad Trump stared at the top at birth, and slowly dragged himself downward. People should have the opportunity to pull themselves up, but Trump doesn't like "losers' and rather than help create opportunity, he rips people off with his phony private colleges, and laughs at their plight.
Trump says he supports religion, but it seems that only applies if you're a christian of a certain brand.
Our nation was founded on Enlightenment principles, by people who were mainly Christian, but who realized the danger of elevating one religion over the others, and made that a part of the Constitution. It restricts the gov't from favoring one belief over the others, but some seem to think that Muslims, Jews, or Buddhists are not religious.
The Supreme Court needs to remember that the 14th amendment for equal protection under the law was written after the civil War to open opportunity for freed Black people, not to make multi-billion dollar multi-national corporations equal to (and richer than) an individual in court. Both the right and left wings of the Supreme Court write decisions that have the effect of overturning laws intended for other things by Congress.
Teaching history with all its warts...very good....Too bad Trump failed at history in school.
Too bad Trump only mouths support for right to life, but tears kids from their parents at the border and cuts food stamps for poor mothers who didn't have abortions.
"All men are created equal, and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights...to life, liberty, and the pusuit of happiness, and it is to this end that governments are established.." . . .Does it say "Only white, Christian, legally documented Americans are created equal"? That is the way Trump seems to interpret it, as he tramples on the rights of immigrants seeking to apply for asylum at the border.
Add to all this his destruction of our long-time alliances abroad, and saber-rattling, failing to renew nuclear disarmament agreements, and rashly pushing the world to the brink of disaster.
It will be a relief to be rid of him. If he doesn't rush into the arms of the Saudis, or Putin, he will probably go right to jail after out of office.
I really did not know a country could get screwed up to this extent.
As a British immigrant, I love living in the USA but fear that, under GOM, the country is slipping into fascism due to the blinkered attitude of his republiturd followers as happened in 1930s Europe. There’s no cure for stupidity!
Who didn't know this?!
Trump's photo is next to the definition of
Schmuck in World's dictionary.
I agree with the author that seeing the followers of Trump has been a nightmare. I have been shocked to see that nearly half of my country is populated by bigots that can't think. That anybody could take Trump seriously is a revelation to me. That people actually find this smarmy, liar Trump appealing has sickened me to my core. Their persistence in their bad judgement has been utterly baffling. I am depressed and completely disheartened by the stubborn stupidity and cruelty shown by close to half the population. The rock I used to stand on, that most people are basically good, has turned to slippery, smelly crap underneath my feet. I'm sure few to no people will read my long cry of anguish, and I do apologize for it being so long. All I really want to say is; Outstanding and beautiful writing British person! Thank you for expressing Trump's attributes so clearly and with literary finesse. I truly loved reading it!
Drumpf makes ta turd look decent.
What a sad commentary for a human.
Drumpf makes turd look decent.
Such an embrassment for our Nation.
... A Canadian View from Ontario, Canada.. Bob Martin
Just a reflection....
Smashing to hear from you Chris.
Barry (old fart).
When I was reminded that Joe is a stutterer - there was even footage early on in the campaign of him interacting with a young child who stutters - I remembered to look past his bungled words (which he then corrects) and remember to look back into his heart: I believe it is the heart of the America I want to be a part of going forward.
Trump is the epitome of a black magician. We need to be constantly on guard of what he is really up to because he is an overwhelming,wearying, manic distraction.
Psychopaths are not rare After all Caligula was one of the successors to Augustus .Maybe a Ted Bundy clone might still make it to the White House .
May the geese of gen z feast upon the dark, stupid recesses of your soul.

Obama cared enough about the American people to create the Affordable Care Act, which millions of people count on so that they won’t lose their homes because of a catastrophic illness, such as COVID-19, Trump’s gift to the citizens of America. And it’s TRUMP who is trying his best to take it away.
Facts matter, Marv.
I am not an American.But the fact that one third of America looks up to this man says something .Maybe Columbus Washington and Lincoln got it all wrong .
The wall was down by lunchtime.
I guarantee you that the wall would be down by lunchtime... or teenagers would be running and jumping off it, loudly yelling “PARKOUR!” In the middle of the night and it would be taken down as a health hazard.
A dismayed
American
Trump is one of a kind, and you know what kind I mean.
That vacuous hollow man, Barry, whomever he may be, whomsoever created him from the commonest clay or by spontaneous generation, he makes the bumptious Trump sound like Pericles.
But the English, and I like and admire the English, though on my respectful terms, not in their multiple colonial incarnations, not those of the Raj, all cricket and tea and superiority with little sympathy. I could continue but to what end? If the twatish superciliousness is not, as a monkeys ass, in plain view, what purpose can I achieve in moderate disputation. Trump in 2020. Four more years!
Meanwhile, revenge Mountbatten assail Nehru, but leave The Orange 🍊One in peace. “ we love him for the enemies he has made.”
I have been feeling the same uneasiness since 2016. It has now reached an alarming parallel, terrifying to witness.
Your article shows how much he has damaged our relationship with Great Britain and others! I’m so very sad and hope against hope that Nov. 3 will change our government back to an actual democracy and heal our relationship with our allies ‼️
!!!!!!!
Well, tell us — what is it?
Do you dislike that he directed the brokering of the first meaningful mideast peace deal in decades?
Do you dislike that he made cruelty to animals a felony? Or don’t you care?
Do you dislike that he earmarked billions to stop the opioid crisis?
He destroyed ISIS, killed countless terrorists without going to war (even though everyone said we’d be in World War III by now) and kept the peace. Do you dislike that?
Does it bother you that we’re now energy independent and the largest producer of energy in the world?
Do you dislike him because he started to build a wall to keep criminals and drugs from coming into our country and because he respects, honors and defends our country’s borders?
Do you dislike him because he just slashed the price for prescription drugs (In some cases by 50%) which is driving Big Pharma nuts?
Do you dislike that he met with the leader of North Korea, averted war with that country and brought a halt to their aggressive missile testing? Was that wrong?
Do you dislike that he signed a law ending the gag-order on pharmacists that prevented them from sharing money-saving options on prescriptions?
Do you dislike that he signed the Save Our Seas Act which funds millions per year to clean tons of plastic and garbage from the ocean? Does that bother you?
Do you dislike that he signed a bill for airports to provide breast-feeding stations for nursing moms?
Do you dislike that he signed the biggest wilderness protection and conservation bill in a decade designating 375,000 acres as protected land, making him the most significant conservation president since Teddy Roosevelt?
Does it irk you that he loves America, and puts Americans first? Is that the problem?
Do you dislike that he made a gay man the ambassador to Germany and then asked him to clean up national security, declassifying as much of it as possible for transparency?
Do you dislike that he works for free, donating his salary to a different charity each quarter? Do you dislike that his economic policies have produced the lowest Black unemployment rate ever?
Do you dislike that he listened to Senator Tim Scott and created opportunity zones to help minorities?
Do you dislike that he passed prison reform, which gives people a second chance and has made quite a huge difference for minorities in particular?
Do you dislike that he produced the lowest Hispanic unemployment rate ever? Do you dislike that he passed VA reforms to benefit the very people who served our country and defended our freedom?
Do you dislike that he got rid of the job-killing NAFTA trade deal, got tough on trade with China and negotiated new trade deals with Mexico, Canada and other countries that benefit American workers?
Do you dislike that he loves our flag and embraces a policy of unabashed, non-apologetic patriotism? Do you have a problem with that?
Do you dislike that he calls out the media and attempts to correct them when they are wrong?
Do you dislike that he’s bringing troops home and ending America’s longest war? Do you want the war to continue? Do you dislike that he has made a commitment to end child-trafficking and crimes against humanity and his policies have brought about thousands of arrests already?
Do you dislike that he extended the offshore drilling ban along both Florida coasts as well as the coasts of Georgia and South Carolina? Are you bothered by that?
Do you dislike he’s brought home over 40 Americans held captive, the last one from Iran?
Do you dislike that he was a Billionaire before he ran for President and now is worth at least one-third less… because he loves America THAT MUCH?
Or do you dislike that he’s making the world pay their fair share to the United Nations?
Do you dislike that he respects cops, veterans, ICE and all first responders?
Do you dislike that he does not sell out America to other countries, like the leaders prior to him have done?
Do you dislike that he’s forced our NATO allies and others to finally pay their fair share to support important multi-national alliances?
Do you dislike that he moved our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem which is the rightful capital of the Jewish state?
Do you dislike that he signed the Right To Try law allowing terminally ill patients access to experimental therapies?
This list is hardly a complete list of what President Trump has accomplished in four years.
There’s actually more — a lot more.
But hopefully, you get the idea.
Nobody is asking you to love President Trump. Nobody is asking you to be his best friend. In fact, you don’t even have to like him.
But just take a moment to give this some mature thought and you’ll find that you’d be less than fair and honest if you did not recognize all that he’s accomplished for America — often against overwhelming odds and with powerful special interests aligned against him.
So, try to put aside emotionalism and arbitrary and capricious preferences for now, avoid the temptation to demonize the president and focus on who’s really effective; who has the vision, stamina and determination to do the job; who gets things done and who’s going to continue to solve our problems and keep America on the right track moving forward.
Think it through. Then, vote Trump!
Trump put on a smiley face and called Hoax
So NO Bob it has not worked out well for us
VOTE BLUE 2020
NOW LETS GO AND WIN THIS THING
Read the book and get an inside look into America
I agree with how you describe Trump and compare him to Obama but the question you need to ask is do you prefer a filterless loathsome person who inevitably and perhaps unintentionally does something positive for the long run or a pretensious and self serving rockstar persona who will do nothing to truly appreciate the masses but is nevertheless a rockstar. The US didn't get into this state over night.
We share a tiny planet and look how well pretend has worked out for All of us.
I am dumbfounded as well that people cannot see him for what he is!
Believe me, they all agree that.
Prior to the advent of pandemic , the economy was thriving, unemployment was the lowest in (recent) history, Middle East peace accord against all odds, more equitable trade deals, etc. to list a few. You have to ask yourself whether you want a president who is ample on external niceties but short on any significant achievements for the society or vice versa?
Well played.
How is your Boris, these days?

'We don't like you Donnie D.'
Guess this was one of those times.
Can you truly say hand on heart that Joe Biden has got the American peoples interests as his main priority. The media dont like trump because he shows up the media and the corrupt system and when ever he is shown on UK media, they choose to show selected clips.
As i say i dont support any side, & i was never a Trump supporter but i praise him for trying to bring all the horrid and sick people in power to justice for their terrible crimes. My question to you is, Have youwritten an article on Joe Biden? Have you researched his past, his current 'brilliant' speeches, his links with the Clintons and credentials to be the next President. I look forward to reading your article when you do.
I will be doing my part to remove the current POtuS next month!
“If you are a leftist who can’t stand Trump, and cannot possibly fathom why anyone would ever vote for him, let me fill you in. [[I'm all ears.]]
It’s not that we love Donald Trump so much. It’s that we can’t stand you. [[Ok, keep going.]]
And we will do whatever it takes — even if that means electing a rude, obnoxious, unpredictable, narcissist (your words not ours) to the office of President of the United States — because the thing we find more dangerous to this nation than Donald Trump is YOU. [[I hope you stop at election fraud, though.]]
How is that possible you might ask? [[Yes, I ask.]]
Well, you have done everything in your power to destroy our country. [[Okaaayy ...]]
From tearing down the police [[How, by protesting their demonstrably racist behavior?]], to tearing down our history [[How? By removing statues of slave owners?]], to tearing down our borders [[Last I checked, the border and border patrol are still perfectly intact. BTW, Trump never got funding to build his wall.]].
From systematically destroying our schools [[It's been a bipartisan governmental effort to spend inordinately more money on the military than schools, after school programs, and arts funding for schools]] and brainwashing our kids into believing socialism is the answer to anything (despite being an unmitigated failure everywhere) [[Democratic socialism / = / socialism; BTW, if you have ever called the police, called the fire department, or traveled down a highway, or accepted Social Security ... guess what? You've participated in democratic socialism! Go ahead and refuse your Social Security and Medicare benefits when you retire, though, if it makes you feel better]], while demonizing religion and faith [[Nah, most people just demonize super churches after YOUR money, and the Catholic Church for covering up decades of sexual abuse]], and glorifying abortion [[the right to choose is not glorifying abortion; also, tell that to a young girl who has been raped by a family member]], violence [[Well, now you're grasping at straws with a statement so broad it's difficult to know exactly what you mean]], and thug culture [[Are you insinuating that my 93 year old mother listens to gangster rap? Because I'll tell you, Sinatra and Vivaldi are more her tune]].
From calling us racists every time we expect everyone of any skin color to follow our laws equally [[Nope, just everytime a black person is shot for ... hanging out in the park while being black, shopping while being black, bird watching while being black, sleeping in their own home while being black, jogging while being black, etc. ad nauseum]] to gaslighting us about 52 genders, polyamory, grown men in dresses sharing public locker rooms with little girls, and normalize the sexualization of young children [[I don't think gaslighting means what you think it means; also, tell me what you think about all the Matthew Shepherds of the world]], you simultaneously ridicule us for having the audacity to wish someone a “Merry Christmas” or hang a flag on the 4th of July [[You're conflating opinion that corporations should consider more generic holiday greetings with individuals, try not to be so defensive]], stand for the national anthem [[You're conflating conservative horror over professional athletes choosing to take a knee with spectactors in the grandstands, who can do whatever they darn well please]], or (horror of horrors) don a MAGA hat in public [[You're conflating our horror over any thinking person's belief that 45 has the capacity to do anything great at all, let alone improve our nation, with wearing a cap with four letters on it -- go ahead, you be you]].
So much for your “tolerance.” [[What's really funny is that you're demonstrating, in this message, the thing you're decrying with air quotes.]]
(See why we think you are just hypocrites??) [[No, not really. But I'm still listening.]]
We’re also not interested in the fact that you think you can unilaterally decide that 250 years of the right-to-bear-arms against a tyrannical or ineffective government should be abolished because you can’t get the violence in the cities you manage under control [[Democracy does not allow for unilateral decision making. That you think it does indicates why you seem to be comfortable with 45s penchant for authoritarian rule. Also, last I checked, a flock of your cohorts stormed a state capital bearing assault rifles and walked away without a scratch on them, so not quite sure what you are worried about. Also, not sure why you think you need to bring a gun to an idea fight.]] Although most peace loving people would agree that That free-speech should be tossed out the window [[Wait, what? Does that include this missive?]], and that those who disagree with your opinions are fair game for public harassment or doxing [[Hey! We finally agree! Doxing bad. Unless it's a citizen pretending their part of a "militia" who thinks they are on a "mission to protect America" and feel the need to storm a state capital because ... ideas]]. That spoiled children with nose-rings and tats who still live off their parent’s dime [[I think I can speak on behalf of a generation of young Republican, Democrat, Green, Libertarian, and undecided young adults born at the wrong time that our crap economy has left them no choice but to still live with their parents while they sling lattes and grocery bags]] should be allowed to destroy cities and peoples livelihoods without repercussions [[Ok, what? Where? How? When? Oh ... you're thinking of agent provocateurs planted at peaceful protests.]] That chaos, and lawlessness, and disrespect for authority should be the norm [[Nope, just treating people equally, regardless of the color of their skin, their gender, their socio-economic class, their religion, etc. etc.]].
This is your agenda. [[No, it's not. Not by a verrrrryyyy loooonnnngggg shooootttttt.]] And you wonder why we find you more dangerous than Donald Trump? [[Yes, I am still wondering.]]
Your narrative is a constant drone of oppressor/oppressed race-baiting intended to divide the country in as many ways as you possibly can [[Well, let's do a use case: Do you think a posse of Black men, armed to the gills, could have stormed a state capital and made it out alive? If you answered, "Yes!" you are not paying attention]]. You love to sell “victim-hood” to people of color every chance you get because it’s such an easy sell [[Well, not an easy sell, more like ample examples: starting with Breonna Taylor and work your way back to slave ships]], compared to actually teaching people to stand on their own two feet and take personal responsibility for their own lives and their own communities and their own futures. [[Systemic racism aside, the idea of American rugged individualism is an absurd myth -- start growing your own food and looming your own cloth and making your clothes and mining your own water and harvesting your own herbs to make your own medicine, then get back to us; equal opportunity, equal pay for equal work, higher minimum wages, medicare for all, THAT'S the ask]] But you won’t do that, you will never do that, because then you will lose control over people of color [[I have no idea what you are talking about here]]. They might actually start thinking for themselves, God forbid!
This is why we will vote for Donald Trump. [[Because you've completely misconstrued "Leftist" ideology?]]
Not because he is the most charming character on the block. [[Yay, we agree!]]
Not because he is the most polite politician to have ever graced the oval office. [[Agreed again! We're getting somewhere!]]
Not because he is the most palatable choice, or because we love his moral character or because the man never lies [[Oh ... so ... wait, you're admitting that you're ok with a lying, immoral, unpalatable, impolite, un-charming President?!]], but because we are sick to death of you and all of the destructive crap you are doing to this once beautiful and relatively safe country [[See prior paragraphs]].
Your ineffective and completely dysfunctional liberal “leadership”(?) has literally destroyed our most beautiful cities, our public education system [[Cite examples, please; until then, it's nigh impossible to discuss]], and done it’s damndest to rip faith out of people’s lives [[I don't believe I've ever heard of NPR-tote wielding liberals storming Super Churches preventing people from dropping money in a basket, but if you mean people opposed to any blurred lines between church and state, then yes, they are guilty ... of upholding the Constitution of the United States of America]].
However bad Donald Trump may be, and he is far from perfect, every day we look at you and feel that no matter what Donald Trump says or does there is no possible way he could be any worse for our country than you people are [[See prior paragraphs; also, recklessly flouting the Constitution is very much a bad thing, you should know that as a "patriot.]]
We are sick to death of your stupid, destructive, ignorant, and intolerant behavior and beliefs — parading as “wokeness.” We are beyond sick of your hypocrisy and B.S. [[I don't address ad hominen attacks. Next.]]
We are fed up with your disrespectful divisiveness [[The goal is equality for all -- race, gender, "class," ability, etc., not sure how that got translated into "divisiveness;" speaking of divisiveness, you may want to watch terms such as, "stupid," "ignorant," "dysfunctional," "complete and utter nonsense," "despicable," "stupid (again!)," etc.]] and constant unrelenting harping and whining and complaining (while you live in the most privileged nation in the world) [[If you mean wanting to hold our public officials and police departments to higher standards, color us guilty!]], while making literally zero contributions of anything positive to our society [[Generalized hyperbole is difficult to respond to; also, I don't think "literally" means what you think it means]]. Your entire focus is on ripping things down, never ever building anything up [[See note about generalized hyperbole above]]. Think about that as there is something fundamentally very wrong in the psychology of people who choose destruction as their primary modus operandi. [[Does this include Kyle Rittenhouse?]]
When Donald J Trump is reelected, don’t blame us, look in the mirror and blame yourselves [[For not protesting until the 25th was invoked?]].
Because you are the ones that are responsible for the rise of Donald Trump. You are the ones who have created this "monster" that you so despise, by your very actions. By your refusal to respect your fellow Americans, and the things that are important to us. [[I still fail to see how you are being impacted by anyone on the left: Are you still allowed to carry your gun? Go to your church? Wear you MAGA swag? Write long screeds finger pointing at anyone not ascribing to your beliefs? Vote for whom you want to vote? Marry who you want to marry? Live where you want to live? Work where you are able to work? Eat what you want to eat? Read what you want to read? Watch media that you want to watch? What exactly has been taken from you? What freedom has been denied to you?]]
You have made fun of the “fly-over states,” the people who “cling to their guns and religion,” the middle class factory workers and coal miners and underprivileged rural populations that you dismissively call “yahoos” and “deplorables.” You have mocked our faith and our religion. You have mocked our values and our patriotism. [[ Is THIS the problem? You feel like you are being made fun of? If so, you are the living embodiment of “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them.”]] You have trampled our flag [[Come again? How so?]] and insulted our veterans [[Again, broad hyperbole, how so?]] and treated our first responders with contempt and hatred [[For systematically acting out as judge, jury, and executioner of BIPOC for no reason except raciscm? Yes! Guilty as charged!]].
You have made environmentalism your religion [[So, you DON’T want clean air to breath and clean water to drink and clean food to eat?]], while trashing every city you have taken responsibility for [[Again, hyperbole]]. You scream from the rooftops about “global warming” and a “green new deal” while allowing tens of thousands of homeless people to cover your streets in literal sh!t and garbage and needles and plastic waste without doing a single thing to help them or solve the environmental crisis your failed social policies are creating [[Explain to me how the average citizen is “allowing” fellow citizens to live without housing. Conflating that with global warming is a non sequitur at best]] . But we’re supposed to put YOU in charge of the environment while gutting our entire economy to institute this plan when you can’t even clean up a single city?? [[Please cite references of Republican led cities where homelessness has been eradicated.]]
You complain — endlessly — yet have failed to solve a single social problem anywhere. [[Hyperbole, again.]] In fact, all [[Hyperbole, again]] you have done is create more of them.
We’ve had enough. We are tired of quietly sitting by and being the “silent” majority. So don’t be surprised when the day comes when we finally respond. And trust me it’s coming, sooner than you might think. And also trust me when I say it won’t be pretty. Get ready. [[Why so threatening? Again, is the problem REALLY that you feel like you’re being spoken of rubes who vote against their own best interests? Just a question.]]
When Donald Trump is reelected it will be because you and your “comrades” [[Oof]] have chosen to trash the police [[For killing BIPOC with impunity? Guilty as charged!]], harass law-abiding citizens, and go on rampages destroying public property that we have all paid for and you have zero respect for [[You’re mistaking agent provocateurs as allies of peaceful protesters]].
When Donald Trump is reelected it will be because we are sick of your complete and utter nonsense and destruction. How does it feel to know that half of this country finds you FAR more despicable than Donald J. Trump, the man you consider to be the anti-Christ? [[As mature adults, it’s none of our business what you think of us.]]
Let that sink in. [[I’m still looking for the rational argument in this.]]
We consider you to be more despicable, more dangerous, more stupid, and more narcissistic than Donald Trump [[So you agree he’s despicable, dangerous, stupid, and narcissistic? If so, we’re getting somewhere. I’m also heartened to hear that you believe that the will of the people is more powerful than the President, which it should be. HOWEVER, I do wish you could see that we care about the same thing—the health and longevity of our country. It’s just that we have different ideas about how to get there. Absent 45s campaign platform—you do know he has chosen not to write one, he’s campaigning on fear, not policy—I am wondering if you agree that equal opportunity, equal pay for equal work, high minimum wages, Medicare for all, taxation of the rich, removal of the rights of corporations as individuals would be good for all of us?]]. Maybe allow yourself a few seconds of self-reflection to let that sink in. [[Yes, you’ve already commanded this. Still can’t for reasons I’ve shared throughout. Also, see my last comment.]] This election isn’t about Donald Trump vs. Joe Biden.
This is about Donald Trump vs YOU. [[Again, thank you for thinking that the American populace is a greater force than any President. If you’d just say WHAT you want, instead of what you seem to HATE, I’d have a clearer idea of what is going on here.]]
So if on the morning of November 4 (or more likely January 19, by the time the Supreme Court will weigh in on the mail-in ballot fiasco that we are headed towards) [[Do you mean because the appointed Postmaster General has removed mail boxes and mail sorting machines, and the GOP has placed hundreds of illegal voting boxes throughout my state, admitted they were illegal, but also said they would continue to do so?]], and Donald J. Trump is reelected?
The only people you have to blame is the left-wing media drones and yourselves. [[Well, this didn’t end well, did it.]]
You did this.
Yep you.” [[Using “I” messaging might help people engage in a more productive conversation. But I don’t get the sense that is what you were after. Too bad.]]
It was the damned outdated Electoral College that voted in Trump, not the majority of the American people.
He doesn't read, won't listen to briefings unless they are accompanied with pictures, he did not write any book, all were written by ghostwriters, my insulin has gone up, my groceries have gone way up, our taxes are up as the great tax break was for only the richest, not the average person or the poorest person, really the list of what he has done is endless, but not in a good way. Do your research and find out just what kind of man you are supporting. The article is spot on, and it is exactly what our allies think of us.
“If you are a leftist who can’t stand Trump, and cannot possibly fathom why anyone would ever vote for him, let me fill you in.
It’s not that we love Donald Trump so much. It’s that we can’t stand you.
And we will do whatever it takes — even if that means electing a rude, obnoxious, unpredictable, narcissist (your words not ours) to the office of President of the United States — because the thing we find more dangerous to this nation than Donald Trump is YOU.

So much for your “tolerance.”

Trump isn’t a politician. He’s a business man who does what he promised to do. This has upset the professional politicians who are more interested in their own desires and selfish interests then what’s good for our country and it’s people. He is the man and party I’m voting for this election.
But my insulin has gone up, my groceries have gone up, Medicare has gone up, insurance goes up, utilities have gone up, all on a fixed income. If you are wealthy, I am happy for you, but we all need to look at the facts, and they do not stock up well for Trump. What good news? Other than the stock market, what good news?
Naturally, Trump obliges!
(Google Mozart K231)
He boldly stood against the globalist elite and the World Wide Web of liberals that aspire to have their own super government superior to sovereign nations. Donald Trump trumped over them and told the unequivocally that his country will be independently great.
Is honorable to you 20,000 lies so far and counting? Or public fornication, stealing from government coffers and individual Americans. Are you a Trump University graduate? By your name, I can spot your country of origin and where you came from Honor comes before a daily meal or any form of sustenances.
Please, I beg you to stop, unless, ifcource you are a Russian troll.
So Trump didn't win. The American people didn't win, especially those murdered in that synagogue. Imaginary wars at imaginary evils, can't be won.
But I totally agree with your article.
- an American
Loved this article. He says what we all ...or most of us...know about Trump. I still wonder, incredulously, how he was ever allowed to run for president...and even more...how he became president. Thank goodness we have a chance to rid our government of this pestilence...DJT... and cronies, in November!
Solely about himself. Don’t drink the Koolaid! Read more! Inform yourself for Gods sake!
He is undermining, tearing apart and opening old wounds of contempt amongst us from decades and centuries ago. Democracy must survive in spite of his lies, deceit and fearmongering.
It was the electoral college that needs to go extinct with Mitch McConnell and all the other damn dinosaurs that went against the majority vote.
Thanks for clearly putting into words what the other 2/3 of Americans know. Hope I can share this!
.

Thank you
An American patriot and military veteran.
You may be able to look past the truthful assessments of the author’s article about Trump, I
can’t.
Margo Holzman, WI.
introduced health care for the people which Trump promised to replace with something better! Americans are
still waiting! Your man Trump, is simply not qualified to be President and should be removed from Office immediately!
And Universal health and affordable education are not socialism or communism.
Trump loves the Communist authoritarian dictator model so much that he diverts your attention by labeling Constitution respecting Democrats as socialist. His cult followers close their minds and demonize fellow Americans so that their leader can take them closer to Putanism.
It would have cost the Russians billions to inflict a fraction of the damage that Trump has inflicted on America.
Who's the Communist?
As the saying goes, you hit the nail on the head!
We have one chance in November to remove this monster.
Let’s prey that works.It may not.
Never a truer word written,he,s a buffoon.
Never a truer word written.
your comment re the 400 million owed by Trump—-rumours have always abounded as to the creditor, & the reason for the loan—-so why does Vlady seem to have such a hold on him?
You asked when the next instalment is due to be repaid; I reckon when he stops being President, so hopefully In under 4 weeks’ time.
I reckon tracking this 400 million is FAR more important than whether he’s paid any tax or not
like a large pin through a Butterfly. Churchill "seven sheets to the wind" drunk was Still infinitely brighter than this swine.
The real monstrosity is America’s snarky, narcissistic pop culture that prizes entertainment and provocation over substance. We’ve enshrined controversy.
Americans are also living smack-dab in the middle of a communications revolution. We’re not totally to blame. The algorithms and machinery for an autocracy rose with the advent of the Internet and the emergence of balkanized media—the fragmentation of media into hostile units like CNN and Fox News. Partisan commentators who offer opinions instead of facts also feed the phantasmagoria and rancor of partisanship here.
Partisan news bubbles block some of the foundational benefits of a country like ours, (such as a free and unbiased press). Bubbles also make it easier for politicians to disseminate their message and distort their opponent’s views. An MIT Media Lab study cited partisan news bubbles as a big reason why Trump won.
But Trump has become a moral compass for us. That will be his legacy. He doesn't take responsibility for the safety of his people and has never come around to a more enlightened view of his leadership during one of the greatest threats to our nation in American history.
Unfortunately so true.
And you have been to kind
Why can’t all Americans get it
We will find out the truth about Americans in November. Let’s pray for civility to win when all the ballets are counted. The world is watching.
When we found out the dreaded news it put a damper on the wedding and we hoped
for the best and sadly it has been a nightmare of 4 years. Praying people will wake
up and get our country
back!
America’s thinking people never dreamed we had so many Trumpers. Never dreamed that there would be this many who are totally ignorant and disdainful of facts and only follow FOX bullshit propaganda. The GOP before Trump (The corporations) helped grow that base of the factless ignorant Voters, anti science base, the one issue radical religious organizations, anti government groups, conspiracy theory groups, every hate group and radical groups they could. Now Trump owns them and the old GOP I firmly believe have been compromised by their own Russian criminal dealings ($ and election interference help) so they have to support Trump/Putin even to the detriment of our people and our Democratic Republic.
Most thinking Americans know Trump is everything you wrote here. Even former Republicans that are fighting back (Lincoln Project, etc.) know this man is insane and evil. They see the fascism, authoritarianism he is pushing us into. Trumps base are the ignorant, the racists, the haters of government, the radical religious, unconscionable corporations, and just the plain old tribal partisans. It is a hard fight. I have to believe that the critically thinking people are still the majority and will prevail. If not we lose our America.
It seems suddenly we are not allowed to have differing opinions. Trump speaks of indicting and incarcerating his opposition. Republican criminal ring speaks aloud that only Republicans matter. And yesterday we see we have an American equivalent of ISIS willing to kidnap and kill a duly elected Democrat governor.
In my 66 years of life in this great country I have never seen anything like this. The greedy crime ring that took over the Republican Party is responsible for this and they lost it to Trump/Putin and here we are with an insane evil insidious criminal with the nuclear codes at his disposal. We have hate and chaos everywhere. We are on the verge of a civil war if this sick man wins.
For me, I am about to seek political asylum in Canada if Trump steals/wins.
England pray for us, please
America’s thinking people never dreamed we had so many Trumpers. Never dreamed that there would be this many who are totally ignorant and disdainful of facts and only follow FOX bullshit propaganda.

That saved AMERICA !!!!!
What’s all this about?
Thank you !
Marijn de Koning
I am not only furious but embarrassed that this awful man is President . I just hope the nightmare will be over soon . Thank you for your astute observations
It is highly likely that this large preponderance of disdain for Trump will result in having this disgraceful person put out of office on November 3. Good riddance.
Thanks to Nate White for this insightful analysis.
‘Oxymoron’——-“Trump is on oxygen”
So, SHOULD a trade deal with the US be on the cards, either candidate could well say, “EVERYTHING Is on the table—-EVERYTHING, or NOTHING”; which sadly means the possible privatisation (‘Americanisation’?) of the UK’s much cherished NHS (National Health Service).
Now THAT would NOT go down at ALL well with us Brits!
Yes, sadly, the US have got the UK ‘over the proverbial barrel’, WHOEVER wins your,election!
ITA IDARESIT, I’m a Brit.
Some (a few) of your points concerning the U.K. are fair, but on the whole you have a very naive understanding of how Brits feel about your President.
PATRICK CROSLEY has responded very succinctly as to how Trump is viewed here in the U.K., so this doesn’t need much discussion. Fair to say, he’s pretty much despised by many many in the U.K.—-like in the US!
As regards Brexit, yes, you’ve made a couple of valid points; but sadly, the U.K. is pinning plenty of her hopes on getting ‘great’ trade deals with the USA; something that can happen, but maybe ONLY should Trump win next month. Biden is pro EU (& pro Ireland, part of the EU). Sadly, Boris has recently broken International law, which could jeopardise peace on the island of Ireland. Biden, along with leading Democrats, have therefore threatened NOT to pursue any trade deals with the U.K. should peace on the island of Ireland be thus jeopardised ie there should be NO contravention of the ‘Good Friday Agreement’, which President Bill Clinton (& the Democrats) had helped broker.
But even if Trump wins, he knows FULL well that as far as trade deals go, the U.K. needs the US FAR more than the other way around—-& the U.K. public, knowing this, are aware of the fact that the US could therefore impose, let’s say, her ‘poorer food & other standards’ on the U.K.(like Chlorinated chicken, hormone injected beef etc, which fall short of the UK’s & the EU’s food standards).
Yes, you are right, of the people who bothered to vote, there was a narrow majority for Brexit (52:48), so a very sizeable minority were against Brexit, (though by now, even they’ve accepted that Brexit, for good or for evil, is gonna happen). And don’t forget, as much as 47% of the UK’s exports are to the EU—-these could be badly hit should there be a ‘no deal with the EU’—-& at time of writing, a ‘no deal’ looks very likely. Will trade with the USA help make up for this? IF Trump wins, he has the U.K. ‘over a barrel’, as the US holds all the cards, & Trump knows this—if Biden wins, there could well be NO trade deals at all, as Boris is a law breaker.
Frankly, as stated before, the USA is in an extremely dominant position, & BOTH Presidential candidates know this, & unfortunately for the U.K., will surely exploit this
(Sorry for this very long post)
Einen schönen Tag noch
Not voting on Personality here y’all
And..BTW the author of this bull —— lives in another country!
In the first place, President Trump staunchly supported Brexit and so the majority of British people voted in support of Brexit.
When President Trump visited The United Kingdom, The Queen gave him a Royal Reception in Buckingham Palace with all the paraphernalia reminiscent of the magnificence and splendour of British Royalty. This gesture by The British Monarchy was a symbolic representation of the totality of the unalloyed love of and faith of The British People in President Donald Trump.
Because of this love of President Trump by the British people, Mr. President is working on a fantastic Trade Agreement with the United Kingdom which would ensure UK's post Brexit prosperity and further endearing him to the British people.
So, it is clear that Mr. White is writing for himself and possibly a small group of people who are disgruntled with President Trump's remarkable miracle of Making America Great Again. Yes, Real Miracle! Did Obama, Biden and others during Candidate Trump's days not question what magic, what miracle Trump would perform to actualise his Campaign promises to bring back thousands of industries from China, Mexico and others as well as create millions of jobs to boost the economy to record heights? The best of it is that They, ---- Obama, Biden, The Clintons and all of them are alive to witness these 'miracles' unfolding one after the other as promised. Promises Made, Promises Fulfilled. The British People are very good people. They like things done right and precisely. They like promises made to be kept. That is why most of the good British people like President Donald Trump. They would also like their Prime Minister to keep his Campaign promises, boost the economy and Make The United Kingdom Great Again.
Clearly A you don't live in the UK and B have absolutely no understanding of the British people. Some there's a few thing's for you. The majority of the British people think Trump is a complete bellend. In fact when he visited there was mass demonstrations all over the UK. There were petitions signed trying to band him from returning the country again. It was a State visit, so yes the bells and whistles came out. That's standard when a head of state visits the UK. The Queen actually has vary little to do with it.
Great piece of writing, Nate and you got him exactly right!

The 5 countries with the most Covid deaths are the USA, India, Brazil, Mexico & the U.K., (Not necessarily in that order); ALL with Populist leaders, & other than Mexico,
ALL very right wing.
Pretty sure that the relatives of the poor deceased do not think that these leaders have put the interests of people first.
Extremism, be it of the left or the right, is plain evil! Hence, thank God Bernie S did not win the Democratic nomination!

Forgive us as we attempt to right the wrong of this soulless Frankenstein of a President
But the 300 million dollar question still remains unanswered. He OWES this sum to ‘someone’, & it needs to be repaid in 2024. People suspect that that ‘someone’ is Russia—-indeed to his role model, Vladimir Putin!
The wittiest, most eloquent, of the past 4-5 presidents happened to do this quite a lot.
The most Trump has done in this respect is order the assassination of an Iranian general and a bit of his entourage. That makes him the Gandhi of US presidents.
I wonder if the poor 210000 souls who perished had that kind of medical attention?
Who’s he kidding with his brand of invincibility? Only his hard core band of supporters, perhaps a third, of the, population?
Remember in the early days of AIDS/HIV, when a gay male, knowingly had the virus, but chose to have sex with others, the perpetrator would be criminally liable—-surely the same should apply as far as Covid 19 is concerned.
But there he is, with total impunity, sick as hell, ‘taking all his cronies with him’; a case of ‘what’s good enough for me, is good enough for everyone else’.
Think this says all you need to know about that freak!
The 4 aforementioned countries have the highest cases of Covid deaths in the,world!
Had Kier been leader of the opposition I don’t think Boris would have got in
You Brits who wrote this don’t get a vote. Thank God. And God Bless America ❤️🇺🇸❤️

He never tells the truth, he only speaks lies!
this fantastic article 🤣!
Trump is like someone pealed back the evolved layers of the human brain leaving only the caricature of a hideous screaming alpha male ape piteiously aged out of its prime.
Also, steroids help maintain his orange complexion, so hope he KEEPS taking them, ‘cos any color other than orange would not suit his features!
"Yes, he's an idiot with zero common sence, and no social skills, but he IS my son. I just hope he never gets into politics. He'd be a disaster."
*** I feel sorry and pity for the GOP (Republicans) in the Congress for failing to find a better man for the high office of US President!!
America is shaped by what you see unfolding in the last 4 years, it is what has been kept under wraps forever which is now exposed publicly by Trump. In other to exonerate, an average American quickly differentiates between personalilty and performance as if it is not one and the same charater that is derivative of its consequences. Maybe its about time Americans embrace that what they have is part of who they have always been. Perhaps not for a few but most certainly for majoriry of those who have always been in control of the person appointed to power.
Can't wait to vote him out.
Information networks and data algorithms divide the Trumpers and the Non-Trumpers. The conservative right’s privately owned medias invest tremendous resource into spinning factual elements into ludicrous stories to explain atrocious behavior. This is the garbage in. These media are careful to not condone the racist/sexist/bigoted behavior, but to present it in a light that leads the listener to empathize with Mr. Trump. If you have the stomach to listen to such media, you will hear the president portrayed as the underdog victim of the radical left socialist media. – – And to be clear: any reporter, any news organization, any media platform that presents Trump’s behavior in the light of observed reality, rather than in the hue of the underdog, is labeled by the right’s privately owned organizations as radical left socialist media.
These platforms present disinformation on a large scale, ceaselessly stoning the American people with uninterrupted untrue “alternative facts”. The average Trumper is not endowed with the critical thinking resources needed to dissect this never-ending stream of bullshit from fact. So they swallow it all—hook, line, and sinker.
And every time they connect to any data device, this stream of bullshit is reinforced in their minds— like a Pavlovian dog.
The more conversations I have with Trumpers, the more I have come to understand that they believe the bullshit they swallow as much as I believe the data reported by NPR, PBS, and BBC.
And each time I connect with my devices, the more data I swallow from my trusted media platforms — and this reinforces my opinion and belief.
I do not think, as I used to think, that the problem is simply the ignorance and privileged apathy of the American people, though this is certainly part of the problem. But ignorance is a solvable problem and apathy corrects itself when the apathetic are faced with consequences.
But can ignorance be cured if the ignorant cannot agree on the definition of a fact, or the truth of observable reality? When the ignorant cannot differentiate between shit stream brainwashing and observed factual reality, they are, by definition, delusional. They are suffering from group psychosis. They have drunk the kool-aid.
Trump's MAGA in 2020 : Make America Graze Again!
Well said.
Sir!!
Says it all!
old=only
Do you actually think Trump wants to be a better person? Do you think he will want to “change his outlook on life” to conform with those of us who are not in the top 1% wealthy Americans? He has shown absolutely no regard for the truth, or the Constitution, or for anyone who doesn’t agree with his policies.
I don’t know what right wingnut news organization you are getting your view of Trump from, but you need a a big dose of reality NOW. Everything you accuse us of is what Trump does each and every day, whether it’s bellowing from his bully pulpit at his campaign rallies, or tweeting insults and slanderous lies on his Twitter account, or jabbering insanely with his FOX News buddies, he is a despicable, empty shell of a human being. Why don’t you lecture Trump?
Please sir, just STOP IT! I don’t hate Trump. I feel incredibly saddened and stressed out on an almost daily basis.
DUMP THE ORANGE TURD NOVEMBER 3RD! LOCK HIM UP IN JANUARY 2021!
A priceless masterpiece that depicts without a single brush stroke
If not for trump's agenda; I wouldn't piss on him if his heart was on fire.
Just saying, you have more work to do to convince me of your seriousness and not an opportunist picking low hanging fruit.
That affected very few folks
But then Potus and Flotus
got a positive notice
Damn, God writes the funniest jokes!
well said!!!
What he needs to do is to show a bit of humility; tell the world in as sober a voice as he can muster, “This awful episode in my life was a salutary lesson for me; I was wrong, & Mr Biden correct. Yes, I should never have mocked him for wearing a mask; in fact, I wish that I too had worn a mask from day 1. NO one is safe from this nasty illness, not even the POTUS”. Or words to that effect.
Who knows what a ‘confession’ like the above could achieve?
But the question is, CAN this man ever show any humility or remorse?
However I think we Brits need to show a bit of humility "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" I am neither a religious Christian nor a Leftist, but our own nation having voted for Brexit and then the election of a self-delusional clown of low intellect with he ethics of an alley cat, to lead us, I feel we should be cautious in our criticisms of our American cousins' for similar mistakes. The good news is that the American Constitution with its multi-layered checks and balances was conceived to ensure that if the newly independent Americans accidentally or deliberately elected a President madder than Mad King George they would be able to deal with the situation. It is to their great credit that it has taken them 240 years to do so. The constitution has worked well in limiting his lunacy. Relief is nigh - if there is a just God, Covid will finish him. I do not wish that on him loathsome though he is, but if God decrees it, I would not Appeal against the decision! If God is actually impotent, as I suspect is the case, the voters look set to do the job, but in the worst case - unlike Britain or Russia or China - he will be definitely gone in 4 years.
Thank you for that , i’m Just wondering
Why can’t the rest of the USA can’t
Understand. That but it want happen here
And. God Bless. You 🇱🇷
It's rare that nature evolves pathogens to pandemic proportions; however, this current one has emerged to address a multitude of human wrongs and it is not finished; there will be more virulent ones appearing much more frequently...we really all had it owed to the callous generational attitudes and practices of those born in the 40's and 50's mainly.
Humans, collectively, may make corrections too; they may vote in better able, competent leaders, and discard the unworthy without remorse; as per Karma & Science; will they?
seem wasted on such a buffoon..!

Alot of us have excuses for the yhings this president has done .how much more will we allow him to do or indirectly cause many people to die kids separated from their families, its all sympathy, empathy , humanity no matter if u are an American or not!
If u want to live in la la land dont convict us all to the same place.
Its not being mean to help people see what they can see for the orange film over their eyes!!
nose and pick one based on an issue or two that concerns you at the moment. He was politically unproven though, so people didn't know what kind of a president he was going to be. He was not part of the political establishment and Americans are sick of the political establishment.... that's how he got in...
Even in 2016—Trump & Hilary C, the latter with so much baggage—-anyway, I don’t think people like dynasties! Trump? Can’t add anything more than what’s been said over & over again! And Biden, honest & decent for sure, but does he not come across as rather wimpish?
Sorry, but are there NO ‘normal, credible people’ there to stand for President? And in a country so so full of talent? And I write as someone who is extremely fond of most things American!
Yes Fred, you are spot on!
Mind you, we have Boris; no great advertisement for credibility either!
Watching the clown-show they called a presidential debate the other night, it suddenly hit me, Americans are going to polls in a few weeks to choose between the nightmare Trump and this other guy who could barely string two coherent thoughts together, no offense to him but Joe Biden looks pale, frail and sick.
Where are all the energetic, good-looking, smart and talented people they portray in their movies and shows and business etc. they deserve Trump, and the rest of the world just have to endure the pain of watching.
I am the first President in US history to test positive for Covid-19. Doctors are amazed by how positive I tested, they can't believe it, they tell me, “Donald, you are over 100 percent covid, it defies known science, which of course... science is fake news...”😄😅😄
Having said all this, hope Trump makes a full recovery—-& then retires gracefully in some remote mountain resort!
Accurate account of the person 👍
They will never figure out how Trump has made fools of those who refuse to wear masks. Trump got tested multiple times daily for COVID-19, as did the people around him, yet he wanted to practically stop testing for all the rest of us. He mocked those who showed respect for others and the intelligence to wear masks. Trump’s administration is riddled with positive COVID cases now because those thick-headed Trump toadies who meekly followed Trump into the swamp. How many new people have they infected? Folks like Franco will never get truthful answers on FOX News.
It is no coincidence that the three countries with the largest number of deaths are the US, Brazil and the U.K. (per capita), three countries led by presidents/PMs who ridiculed the "flu".
You're not laughing anymore Mr. President.

They PLOTTED to bring down the first African American President just by saying “No” to all his policies. Yet he achieved and is much loved around the world. Google it and inform yourselves.
Your article is written with true British wit.....love it and I am proudly Canadian.

It’s so hard to be the northern neighbor of mostly wonderful southern neighbors when the president IS WHAT IT IS.
You across the pond only need to write about him; I as an American, have to “live” with him. It’s beyond humiliating and devastatingly depressing. It is watching our country, our way of life, our values evaporate in front of our eyes.
Worst of all—-it is uncertain if this country can or will recover from this monster and his henchmen.
Has anyone out there noted the unsettling parallels between the Trump Administration and the rise of National Socialism in 1930’s Germany?
In fact, I'm 110% behind everything you said...save that I'm not nearly as witty as the brilliant author of this piece, and most of what I've thought about him has been in language that my mother would have chided me for using.
Don’t have been able to state them so eloquently- i agree with you totally,! A concerned American
His "achievements" are short term gains to roll back visionary, long term progress as the ideals of Carter & Obama.
His 'success' in supreme court appointments is McConnell's.
Please, stop drinking the Kool-Aid. How anyone can support a president who failed to act when his lovebuddy Putin actually admitted to paying bounties for captured American servicemen and also called veterans who were injured or killed 'losers'. The draft dodger even had the utter gall to question John McCain's service record (this, from the person who laughed and said his Vietnam service was screwing around New York and not getting AIDS) and called HIM a loser.
As a veteran and as a member of the DAR whose family has served in every single conflict up through and including Afghanistan, I cannot in good faith vote for a traitor who should be shot for what he's done for the people who have fought in good faith for this country and its democracy, and I find it impossible to believe that any *real* American (which any Trumpite is NOT; they are fascists wanting to deny the vote or a voice to anyone who disagrees with them) could support this Shakespeare of shit.

That is my favorite line in your article, and I wish you could get Joe Biden to articulate it on the campaign trail, and make it part of his rhetoric. Brilliant...!!

That is the source of the real threat to USA Democracy. Trump is just an inelegant Elmer Gantry to a willing cohort White Supremacists and Closet Bigots!!
We as Americans cringe when he opens his mouth.

Thank you for putting my feelings into intelligent sentences in print!
It's glorious. I bet Trump pisses himself with laughter thinking of all those leftist heads exploding.
I laugh until my sides ache every time he suckers them into taking some barmy position just so they can be seen to oppose him.
On the substance, I would gladly have a leader with a few personality defects in return for all the winning, the jobs brought back from China, the record pre-covid economy, the middle East peace deals.
IF, in the U.K. someone was ‘WORTH’ the £ Sterling equivalent, he or she would be around the 400th richest person in the country——so not an inconsiderable sum. The POTUS is de facto the leader of the free world (& long may this continue!), but surely, in Trump’s case, IF this ‘debt news‘ iS true, not only is such a ‘personal debt’ a potential security threat to the US, but indeed to the free world at large, depending on to whom is this money owed? IF to a ‘natural enemy’ of the US (Russia, China?), then SURELY that country, (or its leaders) would have a certain hold on Trump, & by implication, the USA, & indeed the free world. (Rumours have always abounded as to a certain hold that Putin seems to have on that clown).
Therefore, it HAS to be established whether this $400 million debt is in fact correct, & if so, to WHOM is this money owed? Methinks this is far more important than whether that clown has or has not paid any taxes!
SCARY!
Now, can we vote him the fuck out and end this nightmare.
Mick Benderoth
I'd venture to say that most of his supporters have never left the US, or even their own back yard. Or read a book about other countries or cultures. And for most I'd say that their religious upbrinings have taught them to blindly follow sans critical thought. Ignorance is their safe place.
So please don't get cocky and believe we will get him out of office because there are thousands and thousands screaming from the rooftops like we are here. Like 2016 we are all in our bubbles; probably worse. Please just VOTE and get everyone you know to. And maybe, just maybe, we'll be able to squeeze past all their lying, cheating, and voter suppression to eek out an electoral college win.
I have often wondered how the folks over in the UK would eventually pick Boris Johnson as their Prime Minister. There are some similarities between him and our president. Was it in part because the Labor Party was in shambles providing no realistic opposition therefore giving Johnson a real public mandate? Was it in part that the Brits could not ignore his celebrity and notorious non-conventional approaches that made him irresitable while voting. The other part is obvious that a good portion of our UK friends did not like the EU and wanted out and he was their ticket to get that need met. Regardless of the reasons, I find him challenging many of the sensibilities I want to hold on to.
Perhaps it is similar to the situation here where conservative Christians in mass (87%) support the President in spite of a laundry list of words, behavior and business practices that appear to be unwholesome and unrepresentative of the value system espoused by them in order to cherry pick the prizes promised them for their support. The president has been faithful to them in every way and he is a gift that continues to keep on giving to them even right now. Likewise the white, male, lower and middle class person, without higher education, with little knowledge of world or national news events, that likes guns and machismo find Trump irresitable as well because of his nonconventional, outside traditional politics and his celebrity. These are the people who placed him in the White House and could very well do so again. Nothing has changed with their support for Trump since 2016. This last group was way undercounted and overlooked in 2016 polls in part contributing to the shocking 2016 result.
Nate White’s commentary appears to be saying that Trump is very different from the average UK psyche and therefore many there dislike him. I am very glad to hear this but I also find this challenging if my premise is accurate that Johnson and Trump have a lot in common and that the Brits could so grandly select Johnson and yet widely hold distain for Trump. I think I am missing something very important in this equation if Nate White is writing fact and would love some insight.
As so adroitly described by Nate White, the
current president could be named "Trump-the-Terrible".

Trump erroneously believes he can do all of the above by himself, but his practices, tweets, and disgusting personality impede any chance of success.

There is no truth to any of his words, only oppinion, biased retoric and untruths.
No redeamable atributes?

You sir, in my opinion, are an indication of all that is wrong with our western world.
There is something about a man, not a politician, that would put himself and his family in such a position to try and make America a better place.
For what?
To be abused, attacked, denigrated, subject to unjust lies and conspiracy by the very people who are supposed to care about America.
I am not smart, not privy to behind the sceens or even very wise, but even I can see that what Mr. Trump, the President of The United States, is flawed!
What man isn't?
You need to shut up!
Hate speech? Trump. Biased rhetoric and untruths? Trump. No redeemable attributes? Trump. No honor? Trump and the entire GOP Senate.
TRUMP is the one who has abused, attacked, denigrated, lied about, and conspired against ANYONE who had been willing to call out his lies. You would have to be living under a rock for the last four years not to know that. Or maybe in Trump’s swamp full of convicted felons ...

‘What you see‘ is a racist, who pretty nearly condones violence, as long as the victim is black, & the perpetrator white.
‘What you get’ is a nation so so divided, so so fractured, that there is talk of the 3 western states wishing to secede ‘together’; likewise north eastern states (all New England & NY) also wanting the same—-pray to God for a ‘UNITED States of America’
And where did you get the idea that any of us are advocating to “burn it down”? Nobody in their right mind wants that, but Trump lies that it is what Biden wants. Shame on him. Shame on you.
Saying that you don't care what Nate thinks puts you in the mentality of "do it my way" that you accuse others of. Saying that it was crude and full of misinformation is the definition of Donald Trump himself. The man stands in front of the population daily and lies to us about anything and everything. That is a simple fact that anyone can check. Who is they and them? He is the one who has been telling us that there is a we and them. This started before he was even elected. Is the leader of a civilized country supposed to unite a nation or divide it? There is no we and them. We are all Americans. I am pretty sure all of us have the same goals in life. We want to be healthy, eat, work, prosper, raise families and live in freedom. We should all recognize the fact that if there is actually a we and them it is the "we" in the middle and lower classes who are getting screwed by "them". They are the billionaires, the 1% of our population who hold all the wealth and enjoy watching us squabble among ourselves continually in a divisive state. It is a distraction while they accumulate more wealth and power. As a billionaire Donald Trump is part of that distraction. If he actually cared about the general population of the United States we would have a health care system that covered everyone. That should be a basic right to Keep America Great. We would have an education system that was either free or affordable to everyone. That should also be a basic right of everyone to Keep America Great. He has had almost 4 years to accomplish that or anything else that would contribute to our well being. Instead he rolls back regulations to accommodate the 1% and destroy the planet. He takes credit for peace deals when there is no conflict. He takes credit for bringing back football(WTF). He denies responsibility for anything and blames it on "them". My life hasn't gotten better over the last three and a half years and yours probably hasn't either. It has deteriorated. While Wall Street is doing fabulous that benefits the 1% and not me. Unemployment is high and the economy is going down the toilet. It hasn't reached the cesspool yet but it won't be long. I have to walk around with a mask on. These are the things that I can relate to as an American. The man had some great ideas but he failed to implement them. He can put the blame on everyone but it all happened while he was President and I don't see an end in sight to the chaos if he gets in for a second term. We need to try someone else. I don't care who it is. Just stop the madness and bring some respect back to the office of President of the United States.
If Obama and his nightmarish policies hidden beneath a flimsy veil of charm, are what people are comfortable with in a politician, than I like Trump simply for his ability to be surface-level shallow; what you see, is what you get. Our racists now wear white hoods and wave flags in windshields, making them easy for everyone to spot. Politicians taking Wall Street money now do so nearly in plain sight, no longer hiding their ties to billionaires. War mongering Conservatives now openly wave flags around demanding wars with China and N. Korea, instead of trying to sneak in back-alley deals to get their way. Thanks to Trump's 2016 run, we've also seen the Democrats openly exposed and even embrace corruption within their own party (hacked DNC emails).
Trump has simply demulsified US society and politics for everyone and nobody likes what they see. It should be a wake up call to actually FIX the problems, bot go back to burying them under a clusterfuck of "Liberal" blankets.
a bloody genius... bigly!
“PHYSICIAN, HEAL THYSELF”
praise to you as you hit the jail on the head
fool out of you. He’s mocking his rabid uneducated supporters, Gordon, just as he privately mocked those religious nuts who laid their hands on him in some kind of prayer in the Oval Office.
But the GOOD news is that Melania can NEVER become President of the US, as she was born outside the US!
BUT, the BAD news is that ‘our’ Boris Johnson CAN—— he was born in NY!
Of course, the dictator that is Trump could change the laws should he think that Melania ought tone POTUS, to prolong the dynasty! LOL!
All results are a social/ narcissistic pathology
I thought that wad facking hilarious coming from a "stable genius" 😂
Said by a American, Jewish, Russian and Romanian Grandparent, Australian Son -mlaw, Catholic Husband.
Thank you for your candor.
Congratulations on showing the entire world how low Trump’s rabid supporters are willing to sink to defend their idol, especially when you insult the British with your childish schoolyard bullying remarks that have no basis in fact.
Queen Elizabeth was the only female member of the royal family who entered the armed forces and the only living head of state who served in WW II. Trump, on the other hand, is the only President without prior military nor government service. Trump supporters are almost the same as him... low IQ and low EQ. Handled covid badly and try to divert attention with the tiktok national security stuff. What about user information worldwide that is collected by apple, microsoft, google, facebook, instagram, paypal, amazon...... should everyone else in the world ban all those companies?
Trump talks without thinking and only does it because of his ego and not wanting to back down. He is used to always “being right” even when he is not.
Obama was a charming incompetent.
Say what you will of Trump, he has done something very rare in politics. He has acted on his promises. You may not agree with those actions, but they are the ones he promised.
He said in 2015 he wanted to cut taxes for the middle class and raise them on rich people like himself. His 2017 tax law lowered tax bills for most middle incomes, but it disproportionately benefited higher-earners. If fully implemented over a decade, about 83 percent of the benefits in 2027 would go to the highest-earning 1 percent of households.
Trump said in 2016 “We've got to get rid of the $19 trillion in debt,” adding that he could do it “fairly quickly”
It was $19.9 trillion when he took office and topped $23 trillion by the beginning of 2020 before the pandemic hit. This week it was over 26 trillion trillion.
He promised to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. He never did that and the Federal minimum wage is still 7.50 an hour
He promised to provide six weeks of paid maternity leave to any mother with a newborn child whose employer does not provide the benefit.
He never did it.
Promised to pass a 1 trillion dollar infrastructure plan which he never did.
Whatever promises he has kept are more likely to benefit his billionaire buddies then they are likely to benefit me or you. Wake up! He is a con man and you are his mark.
Presidents come & go**, but a great nation goes on forever. (** hopefully the freak goes this November!).
Pathological and a narcissist - he cheats on his wife, belittles people - yet the religious people love him ! WTF ???
is even LOWER!
From there I went to Italy. Apples and oranges. Yikes what a moron! TRUMP-TRUMP-TRUMP-TRUMP-TRUMP. All day long!
Enjoy and remember that...
“Stupid people are like glow sticks...you need to snap them and shake the shit out of them until the light comes on.”
Trump is our worst nightmare! He is, "The Perfect Storm".
We could not have predicted a worse scenario for our country or the world.
He would never have become president in the first place, were it not for Putin and the Electoral College.
For those of us Americans who truly despise trump and his demonic ways...we are barely hanging on and your article helps break the tension.
Just go see your doctor have them remove your collective heads out of your asses, wipe the bullshit off your eyes so you can see the real truth staring there in front of you. You're welcomed.
Oh, and quit watching that fake fox news. Good Lord It's just more bullshit piled on top of trumps.
Yes...let's Make America great again. Get that clown out of office. WAKE UP!!!
Accomplishments? Name them, Issie. Go ahead. I challenge you to name something that is an actual fact, and not some bull crap that you heard from FOX News.
Trump is making fools of people like you who actually spout the rubbish you posted.
We are waiting........
Yes, sadly it’ll soon be 200000 victims, thanks to his cavalier attitude; an attitude that declares that only HE counts!
So whereas scientists & doctors are working hard to create a vaccine for Covid19, Trump thinks “it’ll just go away”, like magic!
He admires dictators—-Kim, Erdogan & Putin; indeed
Putin has LOVED the past 4 years, as the Russian has really been calling the shots. A human being is needed as the next POTUS; the idiot in chief simply is sub human
and
He has much better Teeth than most Brits
out deny that there was a potential devastating disease that he admitted was “deadly,” and continuing to pretend it “will all disappear” magically. He shut down the advice of the experts. He sought to control the data so that he could hide the actual death statistics. He mocked those who were wearing masks.
It’s absolutely absurd to pretend that he was trying to keep the nation calm, when it’s the same man who is shouting lies about Biden’s America from his bully pulpit in order to cause fear and panic among the uneducated folks like yourself.
There you go AGAIN Ann supposing that you are the only educated voter. Well you are wrong in your supposition. And as far as Biden’s America goes , it will include people like AOC, Ilhan Omar, Maxine Waters, Schumer and Schiff. So no thanks. You all can take credit for the looters and burners that Biden and Pelosi failed to speak out against until it was completely out of control. If those people are your definition of “ educated” then you are as dumb as dirt.
As far as your comment about Biden failing to speak out against “looters and burners,” you once again did absolutely no research. If you had, you would have found several statements from Biden where he spoke out strongly against violence at protests. He said “Rioting is not protesting. Looting is not protesting. None of this is protesting. It’s lawlessness, plain and simple. Violence will not bring change. It will only being destruction. It’s wrong in every way.”
Facts matter, Madeline. The uneducated don’t give a damn about facts.
When you have no shame you have no soul. He lies about his lies because he doesn’t know he lies.
He makes me cringe to admit that I am American, and sadly, I used to be a Republican. No more.
Say a prayer for America. PLEASE!
Reading your article, I was so disheartened, but not in the least surprised. People would look to America as a leader, a helper, and a great example of democracy. Now, I feel as though I'm being held prisoner and helpless in a country that just doesn't care. We have to get him out of office. Thank you for your words and please don't give up on the American people. There are some who want what the republican party can offer, but not necessarily what Trump is doing. They're afraid of losing their power or position. Most are good people, but are stuck with their leader. Others are just the crazies who are finally being given a green light to do their kind of damage. Please pray for us.
So then how do you explain the Boris?
He’s a piece of shit on a stick.........
Thank you Brits for your assessment.
He’s also the Rembrandt of rudeness!
“Avoid loud and aggressive persons , they are vexatious to the spirit. “ Apologies if that’s not a precise quote but would add another trait of persons that I always disassociate with and distrust. That is unfettered arrogance.
because of the electoral college ??
What a fool—-and being a fool is probably his STRONGEST feature!
Trump and his lemmings are an embarrassment to many Americans.
I’ve hated him for forty years
American girl
VOTE!
Shades of the dictator Stalin, who simply killed those who opposed him! OK, not quite Stalinesque YET, but Trump is proving he’s a dictator, & like the British PM, thinks he’s above the law!
Trump used his bumbling criminal network (his campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and his assistant, Rick Gates, to share the weaknesses in our election process with Russian Oligarchs and Trump's son-in-law worked with his friends in the tech community use social media to do the rest. Unfortunately for Hilary Clinton and the rest of American, Hilary was viciously and unfairly attacked by the Right and was upended with the final blow (days before the election) by FBI Director Comey - and publicly informed that she was being investigated. That was right before election day and she could not recover from that hit. The rage and shock of those who could clearly see what was in store for us - felt sickened and helpless. We did not even have the Senate to stop Mitch McConnell from flooding the Federal Courts with hard Right-leaning and barely experienced judges.
Then, came the decimation of our Federal Safety rules that dealt with climate / Environment, immigration, voter suppression, tax relief for the very wealthy, attempts to destroy our Health Care, the ridiculous funding of the Wall and shaving off of money ear-marked by Congress for other very worthy projects - suddenly went missing! The endless breaking of the law, firing of those whose job it was to investigate Trump and his Administration, the ripping of traumatized babies and children of all ages from their heartbroken parents, the dreadful conditions to which immigrants were subjected, the revival of intense bigotry and hate groups spread like a disease across America. That certainly influenced the rest of the World and gave rise to bad behavior around the World. Then, came Covid19 and Trump tried to cover it up so it would not hurt his chances of getting re-elected if he had to shut down our Economy, so he chose to let it spread and lie. He ignored desperate pleas for help from the states who first got hit hard with Covid 19 infections and massive loss of lives. He turned a deaf hear and would not help our blue states with a supply chain to provide desperately needed protective equipment for medical professionals, emergency workers and citizens of that state. Those who were able to place a order overseas, had their cargo stolen by some US Government agency with Jared's finger print all over it, as he told blue states, that equipment is not yours, it is the US government Protective Equipment. Of course, Trump is bragging about what a terrific job he had done with Covid19, as our US death totals are approaching 200,000 and he still discourages the wearing of face masks and social distancing and demeans and contradicts Dr. Anthony Fauci's advice and warnings on how we must stay safe. Trump pushes insane and untested medical protocol that is unsafe and contrary to the medical community. Trump ignores the dangers of forcing people together in states where Covid19 is rising at an alarming rate. Trump never took a leadership role to protect us. He's only scammed and harmed us. Yet, he still has his supporters who would commit criminal acts for him - regardless of the consequences!
Dictators around the world felt free and encouraged to commit whatever cruel acts they wanted with Trump's silence or blessings! Democracy has been beaten so badly. Trump's daily criticism of the media and relentless lies have kept his loyal followers - even more emboldened to come out and fight the peaceful rioters on the streets across the US. Some Trump supporters have come heavily armed and used their weapons to support Trump. Trump let it be known that he was pleased by their support.
King Trump has stacked the deck with "Yes Men" to "lead" powerful Government Agencies in his Administration. These wild Trump Loyalists are also emboldened to lie and break the law for their corrupt leader. So, during Trump's term in office, he learned (with the help of another criminal, Steve Bannon) the value and method of "deconstructing the US Administration," so there is no way out of Trump's long reach. He's even got the "top cop in the USA," to head of the US Justice Department, as our US Attorney General - William Barr. Barr has broken all sorts of norms, laws, to fight for & protect Trump no matter what Trump does. Instead of being Independent from the Executive Branch (of the President) and fight for "the People's Rights," our US A.G. Barr has made himself Trump's loyal personal attorney! What Trump & Barr have done to weaken, handcuff, and downright suppress our Intelligence Agencies, FBI, and CIA is truly terrifying! Like a true dictator, he has suppressed the power of our government and never listens to reason, fair play, or logic. It's all about stealing more and more power and money! Those are Trump and his donors & loyalists' - twin Gods. Currently, Trump is working hard on being a watch dog to stop any of those under his rule to refrain from any type of investigation or interference with the Russian Hackers who are spooled up to covertly attack / suppress our ability to vote at the polls. I'm hoping that Trump and William Barr have not decimated the entire FBI, CIA, and Intelligence Agencies so there are still those who are willing and able to protect American Democracy from having their votes hijacked by foreign interference. Trump has already stopped the head of Homeland Security's Intelligence from informing & warning other federal and local agencies about the intelligence that has been gathered regarding Russian interference in our elections.
Even more bold and shocking, Trump is now using his US Attorney General to represent him in a rape case that occurred years before Trump was in politics where he raped a sales women in a dressing room and left his sperm (DNA) on her clothing. She was so upset that she ran home to shower and left those items of clothing with Trump's DNA on it - in her closet (to this very day). She was too afraid to report what happened to the police, but only spoke of it with a close friend who advised her to go to the police, but she did not. It is only in recent times that she spoke to the media to discuss what occurred. I believe her DNA stained clothing is currently being analyzed for future legal actions. So, William Barr has abandoned his legal role to defend "the People" of the US against corruption. Instead Barr is defending the Rapist (Trump) and fighting against the victim! It is pure corruption with no protection from the US Justice Department! Barr had also interfered in cases where the accused has been proven guilty and had criminals released.
I'm praying there are a few remaining patriots in our Intelligence and Justice community who have survived this corrupt Administration and are brave enough and willing to protect us from having our election stolen from us again from foreign interference. Since July 2020, Trump has fired the US Postal Service (USPS) Inspector General and replaced him with another criminal (and donor) named Louis DeJoy who is literally tearing apart our Postal Service by firing key management who oversee the distribution of mail in large centers and having them remove, destroy, hide these huge sorting machine that are capable of sorting and stamping 35,000 pieces of mail in one hour (some larger machines can sort more than that). The new management has ordered the postal clerks to just pick up enough mail to complete their first round of delivery and not go back for more mail to deliver. Large volumes of mail is not being sorted and distributed, so it is piling up. The reason he has done this is to suppress (lose or delay) all of the Absentee Ballots that are being sent out for early voting and for the Nov. 3, 2020 - the Election Day - the last day to vote. . DeJoy was subpoenaed to testify in the House of Representatives, but DeJoy arrogantly lied and wasted the everyone's time. If Trump's plan works out and the ballots arrive later and miss the submission deadline, then he will crush the Absentee Votes. ...and Russian hackers (and other Trump supporting hackers ) may be able to kill more votes at polling machines.
I /we could not bear another 4 years of Trump and his cronies. Climate change disasters are killing our country and Trump will not follow the Paris agreement or do anything that will protect our Environment. He's only interested in ampping up the proliferation of guns, Petroleum Industry, the use of Chemical Pesticides in farming, the increase in the release of toxic effluent in to the land, air, and water from polluting factories. Trump is the Master of Evil and Manipulation and every time I/we think - "This time he is caught red-handed and he will be taken down...", the Republican Party in Congress remains quiet or makes excuses for him. What a nightmare! If we (the anti-Trumpists) can get enough votes to overwhelm Trump's Voter Suppression plan, which will culminate in early November, we innately know that Trump will not go down without a fight. We know that he attempt to pull off some half-baked shenanigan to protest the voting results and cause more chaos and fear until he probably fights his insane argument in the courts. HOWEVER, knowing Trump's "motis operandum," I believe that our US Supreme Court (and lower courts) have had enough of Trump's criminal activities, threats, false claims and angry Tweets laced with more lies, intimidation, and voter suppression activities. So, I doubt if the courts will support Trump's march toward total Dictatorship where we will lose our Courts, our Constitution, our Freedom of Speech & the Free Press, or our Democracy. We still have limited rights at the moment, but that is fragile and could flip on a dime if our courts are stacked with a majority of Trump and hard Right Republican judges. I'm praying for a Biden-Harris Presidency in 2021 (or sooner) - we are due for a positive change!
One of Trump’s chief arse-wipers tried to explain Trump’s downplaying of the seriousness of the Covid virus by repeating Trump’s claim that he didn’t want to cause a panic, yet couldn’t explain why Trump is using outright lies about Biden’s campaign to spread fear and panic to the uneducated voters. It’s just like 2016, when Trump ran viral campaigns ads portraying all immigrants as “criminals and rapists,” and now he is once again creating this outrageous scenario of life under a Biden presidency. He makes it all up as he goes along, and his lies are getting more and more desperate as more and more people are waking up to the absolute lawlessness of the Trump administration.
An embarrassment to our country.
this article cured me of doubting my own judgment.
You. Brit, made this American laugh.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 16, 2013"
Priceless
But Johnson is more articulate, though given to bluster, & given to using flowery language when insulting women & non whites—-he has some charm; Trump, none at all.
But yes, there are many similarities—our idiot is a polished & sophisticated version of your idiot!
T
(Trump none at all),
Terrifying to say the least, and the Party of Trump ~ those in his "spotlight" are as guilty, if not more so, for supporting this monster. Incredulous! The enablers, the oligarchs surrounding him aka kissing his ass, for power, money and whatever else they can steal from our Democracy ~ WTF (pardon me)
It is astounding and surreal ~ all of it.
Thank you Nate White, I’m envious but thankful. Even though “He” will never read it, his cronies will and they’ll definitely tell him - “...a Shakespeare of shit...!” Love it!
Thought I was too sensitive. Missing meaning it Trump's words. He's just empty.
Lord, please help or country and the world!
We keep asking ourselves, "Where did we go wrong?" "how did he get here, when he does not represent the views of the majority of Americans?" We only hope that the other countries can forgive us, as we struggle to undo the harm he has caused. 🙏🏽🙏🏻🤜🏽🤛🏻
We keep asking ourselves, "what happened?" " how did he get here when he does not represent the views of the majority of Americans?" We only hope that other countries can forgive us, as we struggle to undo the harm he has caused. 🙏🏽🙏🏻🤜🏽🤛🏻
Thank you!
We in the USA feel the same. We just pray he is voted OUT🙏🙏
Very thoroughly indeed
I don't know how anyone can not be scared of this Hitler-want-to-be. He has no redeeming virtues.
But you said it with such brilliant humor. And as you said, humor is admirable.
Focus on the royal mess in the Royal house before you try to degrade our President, you english fool.
He's an idiot. It can't be over soon enough.
Why do 42% of Americans approve of him?
I'll vote 10× for JOE. This president is quite an eyesore.
Dear God don’t re elect.
A life long friend of my husband said he thought the man was sent by God. I asked him if God had run out of locusts.
You have, in these relatively few words, succeeded in artfully describing our Buffoon in
Chief. In fact, it’s the very best view into this soulless slug weighing down, and probably stealing from, our nation at this time when it’s most cruel and callous. I thank you for focusing your witty talent with laser accuracy on this fool and his unforgivable foibles. I hope that as a citizen of, “those that got away”, you and your fellow Brits will grace us with your patience, and if it all goes wrong again, your forgiveness if we choose to desire a homecoming.
Sadly it’s Exactly what we have observed on a daily basis.
He believes in us and he fights for us and the American way something we have lost over the years and yes we will get it back, he also wants to leave a good country for his kids and grandchildren to grow up in, we are the best country in the world if you don't like it!!!! We're not keeping you here
The Martian is taken to Donald G Trump! Ha, ha, ha, ha!
He has succeeded in tearing the country apart. That almost half of my fellow citizens think he is a good representation of the American people and values is alarming.
As an American, I’d like to apologize for our petulance and beg forgiveness and acceptance back as your 50 Colonies.
Look in the mirror!!!!
"The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust, from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.”
Firstly, yes Donald J Trump is a total TWAT. But everyone knew that just from looking at his TV show, he’s a cut throat businessman and a pretty ruthless one at that - again everyone knew that. HE’S NOT A POLITICIAN FOLKS! THATS WHY PEOPLE VOTED FOR HIM!
Now let’s look at the other side, - the Clintons the Obamas all looked up to him and wouldn’t stop singing his praises, until he ran against them, why? Cause he was tired of the lies that come from politicians and don’t do anything for the people, which he even stated in the 90’s. Unlike the aforementioned politicians, Donald Trump says a thing and does it, every single politician we’ve ever seen, met and watched were all bags of lying shite’s making promises on one side and delivering the total opposite on the other side. With the mess the left has made over the past 6 months with the riots and BLM A lot of democrats are actually mobilising to support Trump in the next election, this will be an even bigger victory than the last election.
A lot of politicians should take a page from his book and show they have some spine and START GOVERNING FOR THE PEOPLE.
And now what’s going to give the left an even bigger brain haemorrhage- Donald Trump has just been nominated for the Nobel Peace prize🤣😂🤣
The BLM have a legitimate concern when it comes to inequality in the way people of color are treated. They continue to protest because they are being gunned down every day. I agree entirely with Joe Biden when he recognizes the problem, but also says that looting and violence should be punished. He did NOT say he was for defunding the police. That was another Trump lie. Trump’s message to BLM has been that he is willing to force them to disappear, rather than actually doing something to smooth relations between the police and BLM. Trump was the one who sent UNIDENTIFIED people take protesters off the streets in Portland and force them into UNMARKED cars. He made things worse, not better. He has no idea what he is doing. Trump is the one who tear gassed peaceful protesters so that he could stand in front of a church and hold the Bible upside down.
Thanks to Trump’s ignorance and narcissism, we are closing in on 200,000 COVID-19 deaths. Many more will follow, because he doesn’t want people to wear masks or social distance because it reminds him of his total failure.
I’d love to see your evidence that Democrats are changing sides. Maybe you should check out the Lincoln Project. The exact opposite is true.
Trump loves the uneducated, as long as they cheer blindly for his lies and vote for him. Other than that, he doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself.
Well Ann I , and millions of other supporters, are not uneducated. Maybe you lost last time because you just thought you were better than everybody else. You just couldn’t understand that we didn’t like or believe “Queen Hillary”. We could not and would not stand for another 4or 8 years of Obama like rhetoric and apologies where nothing of value was accomplished.
Why, if Trump had been President then, he’d have run a mile—-wasn’t it only a couple of days back when he mocked vets as being loserS & suckers? And did he not refuse to visit a war cemetery in France where scores of brave US servicemen are buried? So much for WW2 & Trump!
Yes, Brits ARE grateful, but to the USA under Gen Eisenhower—-‘NOWT to do with the present
as—-le so so aptly described by the author!
Absolutely True. Thanks for your honesty. We have a large hurdle on Nov.3rd! Vote Blue!
The fact that his fan club is oblivious to his faults and behavior confuses the rest of America too. This political climate is tearing apart families as well as communities, including sadly my own. I refuse to be complicit and I can’t have that argument every day, all day long. It’s maddening and futile.
The other man on the ballot is much better; it's ridiculous to posit otherwise, or to even try to make comparison. Those who think Joe Biden is somehow the moral equivalent are perhaps are either ignorant on how to judge character, misinformed, hopelessly partisan, and/or haplessly disillusioned by politicians in general.
G-D help us if there is another 4 years of this verbally handicapped street rat!
Neither party has all the solutions to every problem; we better start figuring that out or America as we’ve all come to take for granted is caput!
Like his hero, allegedly, Johnson is a racist, a misogynist, a serial liar, & an adulterer. More articulate than his US counterpart, Boris nevertheless is all bluster, & like his hero, cannot deal with ‘detail’.
The other difference is that whereas Trump possesses neither style nor substance, Boris is ‘all style & no substance’
In fact, Boris, being born in the US could WELL be a future POTUS—-NO one would notice the difference from what’s going on now!
The article is excellent. A good analogy, but I wish your county would do one thing.
Boris Johnson had me concerned at first. Brexit right or wrong is a bit trumpy. I hand it to Boris, COVID has had him mature in his job.
You all need to get back with your European friends are start to process of lowering your economic and military relationships with the US. Blame it on trump's love of putin. Maybe the shock-wave will kick some more sense into our heads to but an end to this scourge.
Trump’s Russian comrades are already polluting social media with Joe Biden quotes that have been altered. That’s a fact. Haven’t you ever asked yourself why Trump defends Putin, even when our own intelligence agencies are giving him information on bounties on American soldiers, and election interference? He defends PUTIN. Think about that, Jack. Why would he defend Putin?
If you have actually read factual information about Biden and his policies, you shouldn’t have any trouble deciding who to vote for in November. You may not agree with everything, but the alternative is a mentally unstable, petty, vindictive man who puts Putin over his own country and lies every single day.
God has not blessed America... right now we hope that she is watching and will.
Being an American, too, I am at a loss for words for this con man. He is a narcissist, and a megalomaniac. He will do and say anything to be re-elected. He lacks empathy and compassion. I honestly believe we are the laughing stock of the world and it hurts!! I pray he is voted out, but he does have his base: why, I can't fathom, so it's very important for us to ALL Vote BLUE!!
Truthfully honest, funny, articulate & “right on” !! Thank you & America ;
VOTE BLUE 💙
Amen to your comments!! I agree 100% of what you stated. I pray we can vote him out.
I see a failed business man who cannot borrow money from ANY bank based in his own country
A failure running Casinos where the house wins over 95% of the time Las Vegas just like the American Based banks will not touch him
I see a fraud that settled a lawsuit he swore not to settle Trump University
And for all the Faux Christians I see a man who has committed adultery like we tie out shoes.
I see a family that has defrauded charities
As far as his love affair with Russia that offends me deeply He is a few years older that myself but he lived during the Cuban missile crisis
What offends me Is I will never ever forget nor forgive the USSR now known as Russia for parking Nukes 90 miles off the coast of this country aimed at us.
Same as I will never forgive the POS that pointed a loaded 357 Magnum at me.
And lastly I will not forget his racist gaslighting with the Central Park 5
A Jelly Fish has more spine
It’s true he has no sense of humor, but he does have a Hobbesian gloat, a feeling of his own “sudden glory.”
I have suggested that the twit be crowned king (don't blame us for that institution) of a new twitterdom called Trumpestan, and have him preside forever over all the little trumpsters (all to be deported forthwith) in yet another paradise for parasites like Dubai, for example. He could reside in a penthouse on the 100,000,000,000th floor, elevated to heights beyond even his pathological imagination. Trouble is, the lump has no imagination; he has to con someone else into using theirs (suitably distorted, of course.
Perfect! Loved it!!
I would rather vote for a chimpanzee to run our country rather then this complete Jackass!
I remember my mother seating in front of the tv watching PBS British comedies
She is 100% latin and a very very smart woman indeed:) great article by the way . I don’t know how people can watch Trump making fun of people and bullying respectable people and his supporters support it. Why?
Description I have ever read. BRAVO
It is the best description. BRAVO
As Brit meddling into our business your opinion is not welcome
Remember, we win the war AND saved your asses against Adolf.
Show some appreciation!!
Please ignore comments by “Brigadier”. Clearly he/she is a Trumper. A mindless twat who has been taken in by the orange turd.
You clearly have strong opinions about Brits. Are you entitled to them?
And your little dig is ill-informed and embarrassing. Please. Stop.
Why, if Trump had been in charge, he’d not even have partaken in the war, as he considers vets as losers & suckers—-this article is about Trump, & NOT about your great former leader & President, GeN. Eisenhower
Remember, Trump DESPISES the war dead!
What planet you live in!??? Obama got us out of the worst depression since the 1930s and gave Trump and America a very healthy economy for him to easily ride atop! And on top of all the truth and facts in this article, Trump blew it and smashed us to the ground! This article is so good that I would love for the author to write one on the blind ignorance and true psychological profile a pro-Trump voter!
Amen and Amen
Obama’s plan was to keep your own insurance, but that didn’t work out because the insurance companies got greedy. Obama didn’t deliberately lie, as Trump has done numerous times each and every day. Mitch McConnell made sure that nearly everything Obama tried to accomplish was never brought to a vote in the Senate. McConnell is a wretched excuse for a human being, but thanks to organizations such as the Lincoln Project, McConnell is finally being exposed for the two-faced, evil, Trump asskissing fool that he is. His own state is a mess.
Trump is deliberately dishonest because he is sure of two things: (1) You won’t fact-check him, which is why he says he loves the uneducated, and (2), you will pass on your false information and fake news to forums like this one, and other fools will believe it and pass it on. He is not the champion of the people that he wants you to believe. You do realize that the payroll tax that he is trying to eliminate is what helps funds Social Security, don’t you? You do realize that he has not produced a health care plan that he has been promising for four years? You do realize that he careless and ignorant reaction to the coming pandemic is what brought so much death and hopelessness to our country? He STILL is refusing to take it seriously because he needs his uneducated Deplorables to come and cheer his lies at his rallies. He sets a terrible example for the country. But go ahead and pack the stands and leave your masks at home. Trust Trump with your life, and the lives of your friends, parents, and children. Trump would never lie, would he?? Would he, Kevin? Think about it.
Just the facts, in 40 sentences.

Sometimes it’s worth stepping back to look at the full picture.
He has pressured a foreign leader to interfere in the 2020 American presidential election.
He urged a foreign country to intervene in the 2016 presidential election.
He divulged classified information to foreign officials.
He publicly undermined American intelligence agents while standing next to a hostile foreign autocrat.
He hired a national security adviser whom he knew had secretly worked as a foreign lobbyist.
He encourages foreign leaders to enrich him and his family by staying at his hotels.
He genuflects to murderous dictators.
He has alienated America’s closest allies.
He lied to the American people about his company’s business dealings in Russia.
He tells new lies virtually every week — about the economy, voter fraud, even the weather.
He spends hours on end watching television and days on end staying at resorts.
He often declines to read briefing books or perform other basic functions of a president’s job.
He has aides, as well as members of his own party in Congress, who mock him behind his back as unfit for office.
He has repeatedly denigrated a deceased United States senator who was a war hero.
He insulted a Gold Star family — the survivors of American troops killed in action.
He described a former first lady, not long after she died, as “nasty.”
He described white supremacists as “some very fine people.”
He told four women of color, all citizens and members of Congress, to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came.”
He made a joke about Pocahontas during a ceremony honoring Native American World War II veterans.
He launched his political career by falsely claiming that the first black president was not really American.
He launched his presidential campaign by describing Mexicans as “rapists.”
He has described women, variously, as “a dog,” “a pig” and “horseface,” as well as “bleeding badly from a facelift” and having “blood coming out of her wherever.”
He waved around his arms, while giving a speech, to ridicule a physically disabled person.
He has encouraged his supporters to commit violence against his political opponents.
He has called for his opponents and critics to be investigated and jailed.
He uses a phrase popular with dictators — “the enemy of the people” — to describe journalists.
You were saying Kevin........... Wake up!!!! The sooner the better.

And if you think we are uneducated deplorables that’s fine. That is so much better than being educated and ignorant
VOTE ON NOVEMBER 3RD!!!!!!!!!
I wish Trump could read this article, however, he does not know how to read!!
In case Biden win Marxist organisation like BLM and the rioters will finaly have greater days ahead
Thinking of that the alternative with the Democrats ruling the US in a colaboration with a senile fool and a socialist trying to please Marxist and hooligan organisations like BLM it makes me shiver
Why don’t you let us all know how Biden is trying to please Marxist organizations.
& to the point! Can you be the Nate White I've known for many years? x
Loved this description but its truth is making the American majority truly despair.
The white supremacy, white fragility, and incessant attacks on the underdog is simply appalling. The RACISM and the boldness of his croons needed to be unearthed anyways. Now the entire world knows.

I’m a Brit, so not in the know—in the States, is the POTUS above the law?
But the things is, we Americans did not elect Trump because we wanted a graceful example of the best Americans can be. We wanted a blunt tool; a sledgehammer to be brought to bear against a Federal Government many of us think has grown too powerful and is full of too many graceful, charming elitists who are secretly soaking us for all we're worth.
Which is why Trump resonates with so many Americans: precisely because he is the blunt maniac speaking truths most of us only whisper secretly about an elite in our country we have grown to despise--and never really trusted going all the way back to our revolution.
So, Susan, I won’t hold my breath over any imploding Obama information. Please feel free to share your source with us. It probably came from Trump’s ass, where he pulled the infamous farce of pretending that his associates were returning from Hawaii with scandalous information about Obama’s birth certificate.
You certainly are gullible, Susan. He is really making a fool out of you!
20,000 lies from Trump and still counting...
In 1970 the Dept. of Justice sued him for racial discrimination. At the Trump Castle Casino all black patrons and Dealers were moved to the back to accommodate prejudiced gamblers.
. He disrespects our military even thou he’s a draft dodger with an unproven “ bone spur “ He called dead soldiers “ losers “ so any Veteran who votes for him should apply for Russian citizenship.
I am a Veteran
That said, well written opinionated article but that is all ... it is an opinionated article. Trump does not kiss elites asses. He has and continues to do for the American people. Until COVID-19, statistics show best in all figures including economy. Perhaps the strong American Dollar to that of the British pound is what got this authors nickers in a tight wad?
Regardless of the reason, I suggest the British folks who do not like President Trump continue on about their English lives, continue paying high British taxes, and drink plenty of the wonderful pub pints that are available throughout the UK. God Bless all of you and a country that we as Americans will always stand beside...Cheers and All the Best
Mr. HC Worsham Jr
How about Trump’s absurd and embarrassing fawning fixation with his “friend” Kim Jong Un? His smarmy “We fell in love” nonsense made me sick to my stomach. Trump went to North Korea to meet with this despot! Are you saying he wasn’t kissing Un’s ass?
How about when Trump stood at a podium in Helsinki, and in front of world leaders, Trump openly supported Putin over US intelligence agencies with regard to election interference? He lied! It has been proven once again that Russia interfered in the 2016 election and is doing it again to help Trump win, and the Senate Republicans are not doing a damn thing about it.
These are just a few examples of how Trump is, indeed, kissing elite asses. He supports anyone who can do something for him, personally.
;-{
They are currently holding prayer meetings for his re-election
This question perhaps applies more to people who profess to be religious.
Perhaps, sorry for him on the basis that when he’s no longer President, there may be numerous legal & criminal authorities waiting to prosecute him
Personally, I do NOT feel at ALL sorry for him, & hope, come the day,he gets ALL he deserves.
His idiocy started many decades ago, he never listens and thought things can always be straightened with the bulliness of the likes exhibited in boardrooms and his TV shows.
Unfortunately, his folly, crass, undiluted nepotic racism and unwittingly depreciated understanding of the epic dynamisms in societies and in the world has elevated his crass class and idiocy to the world stage !
Clowns are usually in villages and amusement parks, exhibiting their crafts and arts but to have one as President of United States of America ! 🤔 A clown laced with the abyss of conspiracy theories - always a cocktail of marauding bigot .... Trump as President 👀
Never again, never again such a tardy Picasso of thwarts, Achebe of cluelessness, Adiche of undetailed egoticism and injustice and Shakespeare of follies ...
DJT likely sees still himself as an embattled, benevolent, philosopher king, a Marcus Aurelius, not the Nero fiddling while Rome burns that we see. Marcus Aurelius may get a object bitter lessen in 2 months time, seen as more like Idi Amin Dada, a man out of time and out of touch. The internecine US violence under Trump also increasingly resembles Amin's time, when what was good for the noose became good for Uganda. What would Abe Lincoln, Trump's hero, think about that?
I cannot imagine another 4 yrs of trump. I really can't.
Its hard to comprehended how we allow such lying bastards to run our countries.😳😳😳😳
I sure hope we in America vote him out. Thank you to all you people in Europe for caring.
Born in the 30s , I was taught many of those same things RFL. But they didn’t just disappear under this President. In 2016 Hillary Clinton referred to Trump supporters as “a basket of deplorables”. Michelle Obama was in 2008, “ for the first time in her adult lifetime proud of her country”. And now if you are not a democrat you are a racist, and it’s ok to destroy property and physically attack people. Burn down whatever you disagree with. I doubt your parents or mine would stand for this. I respect my black friends but I do not support BLM. I respect my white friends but I do not support the KKK. I do not support terrorists
His only use in life is to act as the visual image for the definition of "cock womble" or "lowest common denominator".
Oh, and that Revolutionary War was over 200 years ago. Get over it. They have been our Allies for over 100 years.
Ruth Day, are you that blind? You blame everything on President Trump. President Trump been in office 3 and half years, fighting the corrupt Democratic Socialists Party. Obama was elected President twice and what did he do? Went around the world apologizing to countries, for what? Obama set us back 50yrs in race relations and the weaponized his intelligence agencies to spy on a opposition political campaign.
Communist are trying to take over the world and liberals are on their knees asking for forgiveness.
America, for about 250 yrs., has a constitution that helps govern the country and the liberals
with the help of the Marxists BLM and ANTIFA groups are trying to destroy our constitution. Conservatives are trying to protect the constitution and the country from communist.
What did Obama accomplish? If you would take your nose out of Trump’s rear end, you would find out just how much he got done, with NO help whatsoever from idiots like Mitch McConnell and the Tea Party. Obama gave millions of us Universal Health Care, so that we don’t LOSE OUR HOMES if we get seriously ill. Trump is still trying to take that away from us, while promising a new plan that he hasn’t delivered on. He told Chris Wallace many weeks ago that it would be unveiled in two weeks. Another Trump lie.
Trump is desperately and repeatedly trying to take credit for the VA Health Care Act, which was passed in 2014. Trump is still telling this lie!
Obama inherited the worst recession since the 1930’s and turned it around. Obama bailed out the auto industry and turned them around. He passed bills to save our environment for air and water pollution, which Trump has revoked. Obama had NO personal scandals to mar his record, while Trump has had one unlawful act after another. Those are facts, not fake news, as Trump claims each and every time that someone speaks out or stands up against him. Only fools would believe that crap.
Trump is trying to SAVE our Constitution? How? By rewriting it so that he can do whatever the hell he wants to do? You are getting your news straight out of Trump’s ass, which is why you are so desperate to believe Trump’s absurd “Obamagate.” So, where is this scandal? Where are the facts? Trump has spouted this bullshit for months now. All he has to do is start a lie, and you believe it and pass it on. Deplorable.
The world needs someone who cares, not scares, and We, the People, are in the most desperate need.
I will pray for you.
He can’t read from his teleprompters or pronounce words or names correctly! No wonder he paid someone to take his SAT!! He wouldn’t have been admitted in to college if he had not done that! I’m glad the college is investigating it!
A lot of Americans are doing their best to get rid of him come November 3rd! He is truly the worst president in the history of the United States! He’s the one who hates democracy! He is a dictator and is ruining this country! He won’t do or say anything about Putin (he probably owes him a lot of money!) and what the Russians are doing to our troops! But today he campaigned in front of a battle ship and service men! He has no conscience!
He’s the reason why we have lost over 186,000 Americans! And he says “It is what it is”! And of course he takes no responsibility!
I hope he is prosecuted for all the crap he has done and for the lives lost after he loses the election! And speaking of the election, I saw an ad by Trump’s campaign and it said “request your ballot early”!! I tried to post it to CNN’s Facebook page but I don’t know if it posted. But I will post it to my page and keep trying to get it to CNN.
McConnell!!! 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
do it again, I really give up. He’s a very bad joke.
Trump is a threat to America’s democracy.
FOX News Channel (FNC) has been the most watched television news channel for 18 consecutive years. We had the best economy ever. The corrupt Democrats (Hillary Clinton) paid for a fake dossier, that the Obama administration used to spy on the Trump campaign. Then the corrupt Democrats tried impeachment for Quid Pro Quo that didn't exist, but Biden bragged about his Quid Pro Quo hold back a billion dollars from Ukraine if they didn't fire the prosecutor that was investigating the Russian corruption in the company that Joe Biden son, Hunter Biden, was on the board of directors. The lowest unemployment rates ever, the economy soaring but the corrupt Democrats and the Deep State called on the buddy China, who by the way doesn't like Trump either, to help. China released a deadly virus on the world to destroy the American economy. Trump was advised to shut down the country and try to fight this virus. Now President Trump has asked all the states to open back up. But the corrupt Democrats refuse to open their states back up, thinking it will hurt Trump in reelection. Well that's not working for the corrupt Democrats, because now we have a better economy with record breaking stockmarkets. Just wait till the rest of states open up and everyone will be back at work.
China (CCP) and the corrupt Democrats released the virus and don't care how people die, to them its just collateral damage, anything to get Trump out of the White House. Not happening!
TRUMP2020!
Also sexist and racist. More stuff too.
:
We cannot have 63 million idiots maybe 31.5
He doesn't like dogs.
It's a great pity more Americans don't see through him.
No we don’t love him just because we hate Trump. We just think America and the whole world be be a better place without Trump!
They chose a millionaire who chose other millionaires, to change the system that MADE them millionaires!! So really?
Did anyone that voted for Don had some illusions that he (despite being completely opposite) will saturate the White House with a bunch of "noble" individuals, who will devote all their efforts to improve the lives of honest American citizens.... Yup, great formula!!
But, more disturbing, is the people who "allow" him to continue this madness! We’ve seen it before.
From the ‘republic’ to the ‘despotism’ under Trump with not only 1) no opportunity to try
what we would call ‘direct democracy’, and 2) the chance that we will have a ‘free and fair’ election deeply in doubt.
And 30%ish of the uk electorate think HE'S ok. !!!!?
I do wonder also how the British people have continued to support The Conservative Party and that devious clown, Boris Johnson.
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
Not many persons have heard President Trump
tell a joke. Perhaps, no one on earth has ever
heard Trump tell a joke. Does he possess a sense
of humor? Of course, he does. Below is Donald
Trump’s favorite joke. It was told to him by his
beloved father Fred after they had just turned
down a black couple’s application to rent an
apartment in a Trump owned building.
When the young Donald, fresh from persuading a
friend to take his SAT’s for him, first heard it,
he laughed so loud that tears filled his eyes, then he
collapsed into a chair, gasping for breath.
Here is the joke:
Franklin Delano Roosevelt walked into a bar and said:
“Human kindness has never weakened the stamina
or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation
does not have to be cruel in order to be tough.”
Much laughter resounded throughout Trump's America.
large margin and we can get our country back.Thank you for your support.
In the meantime, your Congressional representatives’ names, email addresses, and telephone numbers are easily found in a Google search. Let them know how you feel about the Senate’s lack of concern for election security, as well as the convenient (sarcasm) disruption to the postal service.
Our other candidate is a Corporate Schill. Really not much better than Trump. At least he has got more class. But again we are back to voting for the lesser of two evils.
Your foppy mop head of a PM isn’t so great either.
If the "stable genius" ex game show host was running for any other office (dog catcher, senator, congressman, hall monitor etc.) he would have lost. Bigly. But here in the U.S., we have the electoral college to elect the president. Only. The red states --we call them fly-over states--the ones with more cows, pigs and goats than voters are able to change the dynamics of the presidential election and send the popular vote LOSER (by over 3,000,000 votes)to the white house. Ironic, isn't it? Then we're stuck with Cadet Bone Spurs and his Republican toadys for 4 God-forsaken years.
Never say President as he has not earned that honor.
You have hit the fat white slug, er nail on the head!!! MOST friends and acquaintances see him at the very least as you describe, cannot believe that he remains standing as our president, and ride a seasick wave of despair and prayer. When a sprinkle or two STILL admit to supporting him, it is impossible not to begin privately questioning. Among that significant minority of supporters that you reference would be those who personally benefit from the power of his office, who are sophomorically entertained by him, who are either incapable of or refuse to see the truth of him, and who thereby are simply allowing themselves to be hoodwinked by him. Praying hard for a change with the elections and for the process to not (again?) be corrupted.
Might wanna grab some Popcorn, it's about to get Biblical.
Embarrassing to have this troll in my country.
There are some very worrying developments currently happening in many American cities and these things cannot realistically be blamed on Trump.
If Joe Biden & Co. win the next election do you really think that the rioting, looting and burning will stop.
Will the left leaning Biden have the wherewithal to put an end to the current madness in your wonderful country, I personally doubt it very much.
God bless America, hopefully with a new leader come November!
This poor excuse of a writer needs to get a checkup from a good psychologist
You will be able to hear me and everyone I know loudly cheer the end of this disaster. It has been torturous and so embarrassing.
He is a sore loser so expect him to not go quietly.
Some are even suggesting that he’s a Russian agent, doing their dirty work for them by deliberately dividing the nation—-white collar vs blue collar, middle America vs the rest, previous ‘Confederate States’ vs the rest, immigrants vs the rest, white vs black, even traditional Republican voters vs his hard core fans—--so so sad!
Putin must be laughing!
Have been slapped for not pulling out sooner. See how much better yours was.
The recently published "How We Prevailed, and What the Future May Hold for Us" by Jim Byrne, addresses this issue in an interesting narrative, tracing the roots of problems to their primordial origins. Check the book, it is available from Amazon; the e-version may be free to download.
Don't link all British people together in your writings, don't assume we all share your opinions. Some human traits that are seen negatively, can be positives in other situations.
Trump thinks he can run the country the way he runs his companies by lying, cheating, and threatening. If it weren’t for the spineless GOP Senators, he would have been out of office by now. Just wait until he is forced to finally release his tax returns. Haven’t you wondered why he is so determined to keep them secret?
Britain please pray for us to finally get him out! 🙏🏻💙🇺🇸
It is YOU, Connie, who lives in a fantasy world. He is making a fool out of you.
He doesn't care about the people being infected and killed by Covid-19. All he cares is to be re-elected by putting blame on China.
Otherwise how does America top the world in covid-19 cases ?
Anuway, more death of those low IQ people will fit into the "population elimination" to reduce burden to world resources.
But I guess that’s all ok with you, right? I can’t believe anyone would be foolish enough to try and make BIDEN look like the creepy one!
His agenda includes no one but himself.
You hold the life of this country in your hands Vote as if your life depends on it because it does.
But we will survive.
Hoping I can soon stop being embarrassed to be American...
The “liberal effetes” that you speak of here are those who have the critical thinking skills necessary to know when someone is constantly lying, as Trump does every time he opens his mouth. Educate yourself. Stop being a pawn for Donald Trump.
If he gets re-elected I think I may go back to the country of my birth, Australia, staying for about four years!
Years
In my view he totally lacks the ability to be a rational, reasoning, compassionate HUMAN BEING. --- qualities that Obama, displayed continuously while never showing to be 'weak' when the situation required. -- with him heading the most powerful country in the western world, forgetting party politics, we felt pretty secure.
As a near 80 year old Brit, having lived and worked in UK, Europe, India and Asia with, I like to think , reasonable international thinking -- I am astounded how America, a country of some highly intelligent world leading people manages to vote in a leader who terrifies the hell out of the rest of the world ! Lets hope that November produces someone with a balanced brain to lead the World!!
I had no idea how easy it would be to radicalize so many Americans.
I hadn’t thought of the humor aspect. So true. Like any bully his humor is to insult others.
I am from the U.S.
The comments by fools proclaiming him their lord and savior do not represent the majority of US citizens. Hopefully we’ll soon see an end to this insanity and the many pending trials against trump, his spawn and company will begin and end with them all under lock and key.
If you’ve “never read such abusive junk,” then clearly you are blissfully unaware of Trump’s deplorable, childish, name-calling Twitter feed, or his carnival-barking lies, rants, and insanity that he spews at his rallies. TRUMP maligns anyone who doesn’t kiss his arse, and labels EVERYTHING that he doesn’t want his base to know as “fake news.” Well, J. Lunn, Trump is the king of fake news, and he is making fools of those who think he actually cares about them.
So, I’m hoping you meant to use a sarcasm symbol after your post, which I will demonstrate for you:
Trump is a caring, intelligent man who cares deeply about all Americans, affordable health care, the environment, and is a deeply religious man. /s
See what I did there? My last sentence was sarcasm.
Well done trump is the worst President ever in the entire world the man doesn’t know anything and is certainly not educated to run office...plus a lot of what you already wrote down
This excellent piece echos everything we feel. This country has been so good to us and we are heartbroken at what this man and his supporters has done to it.
Brits don’t seem to love Boris either.
I believe that once he is no longer protected by the office of POTUS, he will be indicted for crimes he has committed before and/or during his presidency. The man is, and always has been, a narcissist, sociopath and criminal who only cares about himself.
To answer your voting question - I will be voting for Biden because I believe he will be better for the country. Additionally, I believe he will be seeking input from each one of his valuable resources beginning with his wife (love her so far!) and including former President Barack Obama and his brilliant wife.
And now we have the CONFIRMATION that Russia was heavily involved with Trump’s campaign, which Trump has repeatedly called “Fake News” and a “hoax.” What sane person continues to deny information that has been released by a bipartisan congressional committee?
And what sane person continues to make a fool of himself by supporting a lying, cheating, unstable, ignorant pig of a man like Donald Trump? That question is for YOU, George.
No further evidence of Russian Collusion? Have you read all the national news sites? Shame on you for parroting Trump’s idiotic “fake news” garbage. You must be living in a Fox News cave. Educate yourself!
Hmmm... why is Trump a billionaire? How do you know he is? He SAYS he is, but is desperate to keep his tax returns. But you are probably right about being a billionaire; look how much money he is making off the American taxpayers alone! He makes big bucks every time he takes a frequent vacation at any of his golf courses. How many bankruptcies has he had? Six? He has screwed investors at every opportunity. Trump University? Fake. Come on, George... take your head out of the Swamp. Take your own advice. Let’s see some facts.
was this the result of your financial insight or was it a result of an artificially inflated stock market caused by tax relief to corporations who used their windfall to buy up their own stock and distort true value. The stock market may be high. But the economy is in shambles.Hope you do not suffer too much when the market busts.
It is interesting that you can’t find any of the good things that he’s done.
Not to mention the fact that he has delivered what he promised to conservative Americans who care about Free enterprise and an opportunity to improve ones self in a semi capitalistic nation which is rapidly moving toward a more socialized nation- like the one you live in.
I appreciate that my post is ‘U.K. biased & parochial’, but for the U.K. to now prosper outside the EU, Trump, obnoxious as he is, simply HAS to win come November. A Democrat win could result in Biden telling the U.K., “You are now at the back of the queue”—-essentially a repeat of what Obama had said just before the EU Referendum of 2016.
What then for the U.K.?
But a great article, & one that quite brilliantly maligns the ‘orange man’, & justifiably at that!
Any other Brits on these pages agree with my views on why, for the sake of the UK’s future, Trump (sadly), HAS to win?
Also, if he’s treating the US as a business, he’s clearly failed, because he’s heading fast towards bankruptcy. Both economically and morally.
Here’s hoping for a brighter future with better international relations and the ignorant people to either be educated or shamed back into silence rather than empowered by the dog Whistler in chief.
Flat tire incident never happened. Fact.
Rather than helping the USMC Sgt he jeopardized his safety by Tweeting inflammatory remarks about the Mexican Gov.
Trump did fly a sick child to hospital ... 27yrs ago ... and the parents of the now deceased child are now under investigation ....
The Tens’ story took an additional turn in August 2014 when the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, charged Harold Ten with participating in a scheme that “allowed a ring of brokers, investment advisers and their clients to profit from the deaths of terminally ill patients.”
According to the SEC, Ten allegedly used his position as president of Bikur Cholim, a nonprofit providing hospitalized patients with kosher meals and free loans of medical equipment, to help Michael A. Horowitz, a Los-Angeles-based broker, identify, meet with and obtain personal information from terminally ill Jews.
The SEC said Horowitz’s investor clients bought annuities, a form of insurance or investment that has an annual payout to a specified beneficiary, which named terminally ill patients as annuitants. This way, the investors collected the death benefit payout quickly and received sizable profits at the expense of the insurance company.
Pretty typical of Trump's associates.
Trump doesn't do 'random acts of kindness' ... He has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honor and no grace. There have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart.
He needs to go!
In 1995, his car has a flat tire. A black man walking by notices it's owner is wearing a suit. So he steps in and fixes the flat. "How can I repay you?" asks the gentleman? "My wife has always wanted some flowers" the man says. A few days later, the black man's wife gets a beautiful bouquet of flowers with a note saying, "Thanks for helping me. By the way... the mortgage on your house is paid off."
A USMC Sargent spends 7 months in a Mexican prison for a minor charge. He is beaten. After he is returned to America, The man from Queens sends him a check for $25,000, "To get you started."
A black bus driver saves a suicidal girl from jumping off a bridge. Our man from Queens sends him a check for $10,000.
A rabbi's critically ill son needs to get from NYC to California for specialty care. No airlines will fly him. The generous man uses his private jet to fly the child.
This kind man from Queens commits many other "quiet acts of random kindness."
You may know this man as Donald J Trump. Our awesome President 🇺🇸
Prove it, or it’s all another big, fat Trump lie. I can’t believe anyone would be stupid enough to believe this. Of all the moronic posts here who support Trump, this is truly the most ridiculous.
U have to know the circus will follow
And what is it that concerns him? HIS HAIR!
This man needs SERIOUS help!
a) the U.S. has the electoral college, which weights the number of votes awarded to more rural areas of the country;
b) although I agree 100% with the writer, we have a strain of anti-intellectualism in our country that baffles me. I think there is a distrust of expertise, as if everything is relative, and what experts say is just a form of oppression. This is how the idea of "fake news" can take root without examination of what is true and what isn't.
c) there is actual pain in people who have been "left behind" by the current digital and global economy, and this pain has been exploited by people like Trump who throw the blame on anything and everything rather than institute long-term policies that are slow to work and so those hurting jump for the quick fix. In actuality, the oligarchs of our culture are draining the money out of our system and the middle class is shrinking daily. Trump supporters continue to believe him and vote against their own interests. It is terrifying.
The Spanish flu started in 1918, & the 2nd World War started in Europe in 1939!
Also he didn’t know that the U.K. was a nuclear power, & he thought that Africa was a country!
God help the free world!
2. “found nothing” wrong with him? Are you insane? Not even the Supreme Court is protecting him. You would have to be living under a rock, or living in Trump’s swamp, to believe that he isn’t facing a world of legal trouble for all his shady dealings. Fighting tooth and nail to keep his taxes a secret should be a clear sign that this guy has a lot to hide.
3. “largest pedophile, child sex slavery scandal of our times.” Do you mean the Jeffrey Epstein scandal? Trump’s buddy Epstein? The Epstein with whom Trump has been photographed many times? You really are getting your news with your Trump filters on, DF. He is making you look very foolish for defending him.
But in many ways they are similar—Both spectacular liars, both who would, & have, get their ‘leg over’ given half a chance—-on a school visit, a 7 year old innocently asked,him, “How many children do you have?”. Boris was speechless—-he didn’t know!
But they are both racist, sexist, misogynistic, but Boris uses flowery words when insulting his ‘natural enemies’—-minorities & women—-an articulate snake in the grass.
So given a choice, I’d reluctantly take Boris—-the lesser of 2 evils!
Someone should remind him that the USA is a supreme democracy—-NO one is more important than the country!
SURELY, on this basis ALONE he simply HAS to be re elected in November!
Ha, ha, ha—-a great country, but sadly led by a donkey!
I think we’re about ready to file for reinstatement into the Empire, declare ourselves Born Again Britts.
You'll be hard pressed to back up your argument about how he's getting things done. That all part of the con.
I could add to the writer's description by describing him thus:-
A morally bankrupt moron with a schoolyard bully mentality and a narcissistic personality disorder. The world's most successful con artist who has mastered the art of selling fast talk to slow thinking people.
Exactly what policies are you referring to?... The only policy he understands is one of self service. If he can't benefit from it, then it has no place on his agenda.

FACT: COVID-19 has claimed 160,000 victims because Trump and his fellow swamp dwellers didn’t bother to take it seriously, ignored the pandemic playbook that President Obama left for Trump, and Trump is STILL spewing lies every day because he is so desperate for his base to come to rallies and cheer like idiots with every lie he tells.
For Gawd’s sake... EDUCATE YOURSELF!
As far as broken promises go, would you care to talk about Trump’s promise that he would never have time to play golf, or the perfect health care plan that he promised years ago? Has he “drained the swamp” yet? Hell no! He has numerous convicted felons in his administration. Obama had NONE. Let me guess ... Trump told you it was “fake news” and you actually believed the old liar.
He is the world's mos successful con artist and in reality, has done NONE of the things he claims to have done, most of which appear on your list. Do some fact checking and drill down for the truth. Nothing like what your perception is.
Do you think that the main reason he’s running scared of the forthcoming election is ‘cos he knows that he’ll probably be arrested & imprisoned should he no longer be President? As President, he has some sort of protection.
Also, of course because of his massive ego. Bet there’ll be many many bringing legal cases against him, including, I dare say cases involving unlawful sex dealings
As an American, I am disgusted to see the disregard for humanity, lack of empathy and greed and corruption that this administration and its enablers are shamelessly dumping on the world. I do not recognize this country or its leaders.
But for what it’s worth, ‘OUR blond’, Boris Johnson THINKS he is like Churchill—-NOTHING could be further from the truth! In fact, he’s a poor man’s Trump—-a Trump with finesse, a Trump who speaks better English, a Trump, who, due to his posh education at England’s ‘best’ school Eton, uses flowery language when insulting minorities & women!
Essentially, a posh Trump—-but frankly, NEITHER of them fit enough to even lick Churchill’s boots—-and Churchill himself was FAR from perfect. Just shows exactly how inferior our 2 blonds are!
The USA, a truly great nation, led by a half wit!
Embarrassingly refreshing!
Did you ever think to see the leader of the supposedly free world advocating its citizens to drink deadly chemicals to cure or ward off a virus. Then he lauds and applauds a person who gives every impression of having escaped from a mental institution, who spouts insane medical falsehoods about aliens in your sex dreams to be a person we should listen to and follow as we wrestle with the worst health crises we have faced in my lifetime.
A man so incredibly petty and small minded who refused to acknowledge in a Presidential way the passing of an icon like John Lewis. A man so devoid of the character that his office should demand of him, rarely utters a statement about anyone other than the sycophants who suck up to him, without childish name calling and petty insults. And while I could write all day and night about how he and his minions scrape the bottom of the barrel, I will close by saying that he and his henchman , Bill Barr have done more damage to the justice system in this country that it will take decades, if even then, to return this country to a democracy and legal system that any American can trust or believe in.
Great article. I just wish this nightmare was over.
Your comparison of Trump with Churchill was, at best disingenuous!
I speak as a Brit. Churchill was born nearly 80 before Trump. In the 19th & ear
Y 20th centuries, or was de riguer to be racist, arrogant, sexist, supremest, & all the personal qualities that Churchill & Trump share. Trump should know better, but chooses not to—-& this too as an adult. At a time of crisis, Churchill united the nation—-Trump is doing, & deliberately, th complete opposite—-white vs black, conservative vs liberal, middle America vs the rest, white collar vs blue collar, immigrant vs ‘the established’; you name it, Trump has caused divisions. So whereas Churchill caught the enemy, Nazi Germany, Trump appears to be wooing the enemy, nasty Russia. The question being asked is, “Has Putin got something on Trump?”. Hitler certainly never had anything on Churchill! Trump, is a prime candidate for blackmail & the like—-what does Ghislaine Maxwell know about him? Churchill, despite his great love for cognac, was pretty ‘clean’.
The President is known as the Commander in Chief (C in C), & Covid 19 is the enemy, & quite frankly, the C in C is fighting a losing battle. Sadly, your great country, thanks to the mismanagement of the C in C, is the worlds worst affected—sadly the enemy is scoring its ‘best victories‘ under his watch.
Churchill never drank dishwasher cleaning liquid, & did not advocate others to do so—-Churchill never went against the advise of his military experts—-Trump seems to know more than scientists & doctors!
Even so, Churchill is now coming under a lot of adverse comment & criticism—-people forget that his behaviour was ‘par for the course’ at the time. Frankly, Trump has NO excuse to behave like a clown—-remember, “Elect a clown, & you get a circus”.
Yours is a wonderful country, now sadly resembling a circus, thanks to a clown posing as the C in C!
But then, you have those leading Brexiters who understand Brexit VERY well—-the SUPER rich, who, ‘cos of relaxation of controls, will benefit from the lifting of rules & regulations as regards off shore tax havens—-frankly, they’ll be QUIDS
in come Brexit. And then we have this coastal town called Ashford in Kent, who voted 60:40 to leave the EU; being close to France, this town has been converted into a lorry park for some 15000 lorries come Brexit ( for reasons of customs etc checks, which would be needed come a no deal Brexit; now these worthy citizens of Ashford are complaining about this lorry park! For God’s sake, these people de facto VOTED for this lorry park, so why now complain?
And now, our right wing (pro Trump like government) are urging pharmacies etc to stockpile medicines!
And then we have affluent Brexiters getting EU passports, as they may have family connections—-allegedly, Nigel Farage, the biggest Brexiter of them all has/is getting a German passport—-his wife is German! And there are others also! What hypocrisy!
OK, this post is to draw a comparison between the typical Trump supporter, & your typical Brexit voter—-uneducated! But also, the U.K. is staking all on striking lucrative trade deals With your great nation—-OK, Trump is pro Brexit & anti EU, but should he lose, his successor is the opposite ie anti Brexit & pro EU—-so will any trade deals survive, assuming that they’re completed in the first place.
Frankly, the UK is in a VERY bad place, thanks to the masses of ignorant & uneducated folk that voted for this suicidal act!
If you could provide the same support for Trump I will reconsider my attitude to this assessment.
My opinion Trump is showing us as a nation how far off we are as to the keeping of the principles and concepts of our Constitution! As a nation our integrity is nil! Some low lives are saying there isn’t any Truth or Absolutes!
Larry, you are a twit lacking appreciation for satirically accurate descriptions of twits. Everyone knows Trump is a twit, including those who would vote for him again, tomorrow. But those twits know they are twits...and just don't give a shit.
But you, Larry...you're a twit and don't know it!
You believe you made cogent, accurate points in your comment. But because you are a twit who doesn't know he's a twit. You don’t know how ridiculously fucking stupid your comment is.
No...no...don't go back and read what you wrote! It's too late...we've all seen it. You are a twit...real, genuine, unmistakable, irreversible, hopeless. It's all you've ever been and all you ever will be, Larry.
You have adapted nicely to being a twit, tho it's not something (I hate to break the news to you) that should make you proud. You should try to hide that you're a twit by not speaking when in groups and, for jesus christ sakes, NEVER AGAIN POSTING A COMMENT ON A SOCIAL MEDIA SITE!
If you just remain silent and inactive for the rest of your life, the list of people who know you are a fucking twit will not get any longer.
Don’t think Trump is an underdog? Guess you never saw the polls that claimed Clinton had a 99.9% chance of winning in 2016. Currently he is trailing in all the polls. I wonder if he understands the term “underdog”?
As a Brit, living in the US, I find this “ Nate White, an articulate and witty writer” laughable.
Perhaps Mr. White prefers a sleepy/creepy old guy that can hardly keep a sentence together without a teleprompter. Politics is not a popularity contest.
I guess he’s on the first steps towards trying to emulate his 2 idols, Putin of Russia, & Kim of North Korea, who are Presidents ‘for life’.
It’s embarrassing and he goes against any and all things I loved to believe made a the US a beacon of hope and prosperity to those around the world. Now it’s just broken, pathetic and an embarrassment.
I wish I could pick up and leave this country in search of a place not run like a dog and pony show.
He’s brought our jobs back for one, now I sleep better knowing my children will have opportunity. Js
Please God, let there be NO more dynasties!
If so, he’s obviously as effective as a ‘one legged man in an arse kicking competition!‘
Thank you Mr. White
Covid -19 , will seem like a welcomed gift and a picnic
I have lived through several Presidents, and this man is the worst. On a personal level, about 15 yrs ago a friend of mine was catering an event he was at. My friend refused to shake his hand. Trump got him FIRED. This is 100% fact. My friend Micheal is an actor and works small parts on Broadway, tv shows, and teaches pt, but his steady job is an usher on broadway.
Micheal does not regret getting fired. 😂
People rate the quote “Shakespeare of shit” as maybe the best bit of the article—I reckon the quote, “He makes Nixon look trustworthy, & G W Bush as intelligent! Priceless!
There are many more reasons, but these are the most prevalent and vicious. And Trump feeds on and sows viciousness.
Trumps cabinet doesn’t get together to invoke Article 4 of the 25th amendment although his replacement is no better because he is a clone of his boss.
Certainly not a place to raise children or grandchildren ,they are being taught to be racist mean ,just like HIM !!!
No leadership, other wise we would all be back to work in a healthy environment
In all my 84 years I have never lived such a sad time in America.He has to go so we are able to bring America back to the special country it was
Sorry he has done nothing for the Blacks or Latina I should know
Sincerely,
A regretful Trump voter
And can connect in that way.
Are there numerous pictures of Obama with his teenage daughter sitting seductively in his lap? (Trump does!)
Did Obama answer “sex” when asked in an interview what he has most in common with his daughter? (No, that was Trump.)
Does Obama’s wife have soft core porn pictures of herself all over the internet?
Did Obama’s wife wear an “I don’t care. Do you?” jacket while visiting immigrant camps on the Mexican border?
(Trump’s wife did that.)
Did Obama have three wives, and cheat on all of them? (Trump proudly admitted that he did that.)
Did Obama tweet childish name-calling insults to world leaders, national heroes, Gold Star families? (Trump has never stopped.)
Does Obama live in a lavish New York apartment that looks as if someone shat gold spray paint on every service?
Did Obama use the presidency as his personal cash cow to put money in his own pockets by charging taxpayers while using his personal properties on his outrageous number of golf weekends?
Did Obama pick his personal rich campaign donors to place in high positions in his government, even though they have no experience whatsoever?
Did Obama destroy relationships with our allies?
Did Obama publicly back Putin over his US intelligence agencies when asked about election interference? Did Obama ignore verified reports about Russian bounties on the heads of American soldiers, and refuse to question Putin?
The list goes on and on, Barb, but you choose to ignore Trump’s lies and outrageous behavior. Instead you foolishly pretend that Barack Obama did.... whatever Trump falsely accuses him of in his daily tweets. You don’t ask questions. You don’t verify anything. Tools for Trump. Shame on you.
wondering, "how the hell did that happen?" And trying to figure out if we were actually friends with anyone so low as to be, dear God, a Trump supporter. We appreciate your assessment.
So, if you think a president’s job is to look cool and suave. Then yes, Obama was more presidential. But it you think being a president should be more about sorting things out. Notably, jobs and the economy. Then President Trump is one of the most successful presidents the US has ever had.
It is very tiring knowing that any article about Trump, will be about his image over his actions.
Putin messed in our elections and rigged them for him to win. There’s a base of approximately 1/4th that are his cult. We have to vote him out on Nov 3rd and I pray he can’t cheat his way in again! Putin has control of him and is turning our country to shit.
I agree with every word you said.
I appreciate, my post is parochial, in that it focuses on the UK’s interest in the coming US elections—-but, for what it’s worth, ALL Brits must hope that Trump wins.
See Mark Landler’s article in today’s New York Times (‘The Daily’), headed, “U K. officials’ new Trump dilemma: what if he loses”
Essentially, Biden may NOT be interested in doing/completing these apparently ‘fantastic’ trade deals that Trump has promised the U.K. following the UK’s decision to leave the EU. Maybe a case of following Obama’s diktat to the U.K. following the UK’s 2016 Referendum to leave the EU, “You shall be at the back of the queue”. Also, the article stated that Biden’s Irish connections may prevail in that he won’t make any pro U.K. decisions that could undermine Ireland when the U.K. finally DOES leave the EU!
An interesting article, this one in the NY Times, & one which every Brit fearful of Brexit MUST read.
What the article did NOT mention however, & which has been muted elsewhere is that:
1. Biden may stipulate that as far as any future US/U.K. trade deals are concerned, “EVERYTHING is on the table for discussion”. in other words, not just agriculture (which is presently being discussed), but also financial services, defence, the motor trade, technology, etc, & a lot else, but MOST important, pharma & medi equipment—-in other words, the possible privatisation of the U.K. National Health Service! This will NOT sit well with most Brits, even those who voted to leave the EU!
2. It’s fairly obvious that, thanks to Covid, the present trade talks are nowhere near completion, & will not be so, come November—-they’ve hardly started! And even if these talks ARE completed, what then? Will Biden ‘do a Trump’ & cancel/annul all decisions & initiatives undertaken by his predecessor? (Obamacare, Iran treaty?). In other words, cancel agreed trade deals and/or just discontinue any ongoing trade talks? In other words, NO, or minimal trade deals between our 2 great nations—-So NOTHING to replace the UK’s present exports to the EU, which represents some 47% of UK’s total exports. Yes, the U.K. is pursuing trade deals with other countries also, but the USA is the big prize!
Tough times ahead for the USA? NOTHING like what lies ahead for the U.K., now that we’ve left the EU.
In June 2016. I voted to leave the EU, on the basis that 4 years on, lucrative trade deals with the USA would have been completed by then, but they’ve barely begun, thanks to the pressure exerted by the 48% of the U.K. population who voted to Remain in the EU, & now Covid 19!
Not sure how Brits would vote on the EU now, SPECIALLY as they’ve have had 4 years to finally & formally realise that Trump is an absolute cowboy & clown!
The USA, a wonderful country, sadly led by a buffoon!
BUFFOON OR NOT, IF TRUMP DOES NOT WIN IN NOVEMBER, GOD HELP THE U.K.!
As you,said, ‘Buffon or not, if Trump loses, God help the UK’
As a citizen of the U.S., my heartfelt thanks.
He makes me embarrassed to be an American. I am forever shaking my head when I hear him speak. I can NOT say it enough, the man is an ASS!
Not only is he an embarrassment to the USA, he’s an embarrassment to the human race!
His tweets, comments and stories of historical events (I refer to one in particular how in 1760 the Confederate army were victorious in battle by securing the airfields thus preventIng airial domination,)
The man is an absolute Pratt, he engages his mouth before putting his brain into gear (if he had one) surely the American people are better than this.
He is considered an idiot globally but I have to say thanks for the entertainment.
So yes, we in the U.K. would be FOOLS not to support Trump, & hope he gets a 2nd term, as the alternative ( Biden),is a completely unknown factor!
Poor excuse for a President.
A guy with no soul?? Ha..ha..ha
And the dismal final sign: no dog!!
Thank you, thank you.
Your comment was obviously copied and pasted, as I have seen it in lots of places before. I thought I would go through each one line by line and comment on the validity. It seems to be taken as the word of law from most trump supporters without actually fact checking any of it. I don’t mind doing it as the next time I see this copied and pasted, I will have something of my very own to copy and paste too!
* Trump recently signed 3 bills to benefit Native people. One gives compensation to the Spokane tribe for loss of their lands in the mid-1900s, one funds Native language programs, and the third gives federal recognition to the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians in Montana.
(Trump has done nothing to better the lives of native people. In fact just the opposite. He has only made token gestures like every other administration on one hand while stripping, occupying, and stealing their land)
* Trump finalized the creation of Space Force as our 6th Military branch.
(yet more money on military spending at the expense of education and healthcare – good on him….)
* Trump signed a law to make cruelty to animals a federal felony so that animal abusers face tougher consequences.👀
(If I recall correctly, this was a bill put in place by the democrats, trump just signed off on it, which means it would have been put in place no matter who was president)
* Violent crime has fallen every year he’s been in office after rising during the 2 years before he was elected.
(Except in the case of police abuse, there has been a significant increase in cases that are caught, not to mention cases that are not reported officially. Additionally most of the reduction has happened in white middle class areas, not where the reduction is needed most. )
* Trump signed a bill making CBD and Hemp legal.👀👀
(Again, this was a bill written by the democrats, trump just signed off on it. It would have happened either way)
* Trump’s EPA gave $100 million to fix the water infrastructure problem in Flint, Michigan.
(But provided no oversight on how it was spent. People are still struggling to get fresh water in Flint)
* Under Trump’s leadership, in 2018 the U.S. surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world’s largest producer of crude oil.
(This has nothing to do with Trump. This would have happened with or without him).
* Trump signed a law ending the gag orders on Pharmacists that prevented them from sharing money-saving information.
(But did nothing to fix the immoral pricing from Pharmaceutical companies).
* Trump signed the “Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act” (FOSTA), which includes the “Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act” (SESTA) which both give law enforcement and victims new tools to fight sex trafficking.👀
(Yet he has been seen personally with many of the high profile sex traffickers with photo evidence. When the last one was arrested he wished her well in a recorded interview...wtf).
* Trump signed a bill to require airports to provide spaces for breastfeeding Moms.
(again, not his bill, he signed it, but it would have been signed either way)
* The 25% lowest-paid Americans enjoyed a 4.5% income boost in November 2019, which outpaces a 2.9% gain in earnings for the country's highest-paid workers.
(Since trump came into power, the income gap between the richest 1% has grown significantly more then the gap mentioned here. Again this has nothing to do with trump. He has not made any difference overall).
* Low-wage workers are benefiting from higher minimum wages and from corporations that are increasing entry-level pay.
(Low wage workers still do not make enough money to survive without having to resort to food stamps. Trump did nothing meaningful here. People working at walmart still can not afford to pay all their bills).
* Trump signed the biggest wilderness protection & conservation bill in a decade and designated 375,000 acres as protected land.
(Fact check this one yourself. There is so much information regarding how these conservation areas are not in the right locations, and about areas he stripped of conservation status to allow mining companies to rape the land. There is so much information out there on this that it is too big to reply to).
* Trump signed the Save our Seas Act which funds $10 million per year to clean tons of plastic & garbage from the ocean.👀
(Yet does nothing to implement laws where it matters most. Punishing corporations that pollute the ocean in the first place).
* He signed a bill this year allowing some drug imports from Canada so that prescription prices would go down.
(This is a symptom not a cure. Legislation needs to be put in place to prevent this from happening in the first place).
* Trump signed an executive order this year that forces all healthcare providers to disclose the cost of their services so that Americans can comparison shop and know how much less providers charge insurance companies.
(I wont even go into healthcare issues. The US is ranked 49th in the world for healthcare. Some 3rd world countries have better healthcare then the US).
* When signing that bill he said no American should be blindsided by bills for medical services they never agreed to in advance.
(Yet this is still happening. I can’t count the number of stories I have read since Covid started about people leaving the hospital with medical bills over 1 million dollars).
* Hospitals will now be required to post their standard charges for services, which include the discounted price a hospital is willing to accept.
(Again, private hospitals are insane. Almost no other country in the world operates like this. It is a broken system)
* In the eight years prior to President Trump’s inauguration, prescription drug prices increased by an average of 3.6% per year. Under Trump, drug prices have seen year-over-year declines in nine of the last ten months, with a 1.1% drop as of the most recent month.
(This is a flat out lie.)
* He created a White House VA Hotline to help veterans and principally staffed it with veterans and direct family members of veterans.👀👀
(The reason this needs to be in place is because of the broken healthcare system in the first place).
* VA employees are being held accountable for poor performance, with more than 4,000 VA employees removed, demoted, and suspended so far.
(Yet the average wait time to see a doctor for a veteran is still around 6 hours in the lightly populated areas. Again, this is a symptom of a bigger overwhelming problem that he has done nothing to address)
* Issued an executive order requiring the Secretaries of Defense, Homeland Security, and Veterans Affairs to submit a joint plan to provide veterans access to access to mental health treatment as they transition to civilian life.
(Yet has done nothing to actually help the veterans once they are discharged from service. Mental health is only 1 part of a larger systemic issue that needs to be addressed).
* Because of a bill signed and championed by Trump, In 2020, most federal employees will see their pay increase by an average of 3.1% — the largest raise in more than 10 years.
(Again this is a half truth. Most of the pay increases have been dished out to high level politicians and when spread out over the entire government it appears like everyone is getting a big raise, however in truth, most of the people working at the ground level saw much less than this).
* Trump signed into a law up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave for millions of federal workers.
(Most other countries already have this for ALL workers, not just federal)
* Trump administration will provide HIV prevention drugs for free to 200,000 uninsured patients per year for 11 years.👀👀
(If the US had proper healthcare, this would not be an issue to begin with).
* All-time record sales during the 2019 holidays.
(Nothing to do with trump)
* Trump signed an order allowing small businesses to group together when buying insurance to get a better price👀👀
(This never actually happened though. The order did nothing)
* President Trump signed the Preventing Maternal Deaths Act that provides funding for states to develop maternal mortality reviews to better understand maternal complications and identify solutions & largely focuses on reducing the higher mortality rates for Black Americans.
(This is a long winded way to say, he has made no real change).
* In 2018, President Trump signed the groundbreaking First Step Act, a criminal justice bill which enacted reforms that make our justice system fairer and help former inmates successfully return to society.
(The US still leads the world in number of people incarcerated. This is a token gesture without any real teeth and makes nothing better)
* The First Step Act’s reforms addressed inequities in sentencing laws that disproportionately harmed Black Americans and reformed mandatory minimums that created unfair outcomes.👀👀
(The inequities are still in place)
* The First Step Act expanded judicial discretion in sentencing of non-violent crimes.
(The inequities are still happening)
* Over 90% of those benefitting from the retroactive sentencing reductions in the First Step Act are Black Americans.
(Yet Black Americans are still 90% more likely to receive a larger sentence then white people for the same crimes).
* The First Step Act provides rehabilitative programs to inmates, helping them successfully rejoin society and not return to crime.
(This really does nothing overall. Look at Sweden’s judicial system and compare it to the one in the US. This is a token program to try and garner more votes).
* Trump increased funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) by more than 14%.👀👀
(Yet most people can not afford a post secondary education without taking on crippling debt),
* Trump signed legislation forgiving Hurricane Katrina debt that threatened HBCUs.
(This one I will give to him. I have not been able to find more information about this)
* New single-family home sales are up 31.6% in October 2019 compared to just one year ago.
(This has absolutely nothing to do with Trump. He was just in the right place at the right time)
* Made HBCUs a priority by creating the position of executive director of the White House Initiative on HBCUs.
(Couldn't find out more information on this. Can’t comment)
* Trump received the Bipartisan Justice Award at a historically black college for his criminal justice reform accomplishments.
(Yet classifies peaceful protesters terrorists and supports mass arrests and police brutality in BLM protests)
* The poverty rate fell to a 17-year low of 11.8% under the Trump administration as a result of a jobs-rich environment.👀
(This is a blatant lie. The number of people under the poverty line has gone down a little bit, but the degree of poverty has increased significantly).
* Poverty rates for African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans have reached their lowest levels since the U.S. began collecting such data.
(This is a blatant lie. The number of people under the poverty line has gone down a little bit, but the degree of poverty has increased significantly).
* President Trump signed a bill that creates five national monuments, expands several national parks, adds 1.3 million acres of wilderness, and permanently reauthorizes the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
(This bill was put in place by the democrats and would have happened whether trump was in office or not)
* Trump’s USDA committed $124 Million to rebuild rural water infrastructure.👀👀
(Not something to brag about. This needed to be done no matter what, and most likely would have happened with any other president in office as well).
* Consumer confidence & small business confidence is at an all time high.
(Nothing to do with trump – this item is just here to fill space and make the list longer I think)
* More than 7 million jobs created since election.
(This item is in here multiple times to increase the length of the list. It does nothing to illustrate the types of jobs created. Over 85% of the jobs he created are minimum wage part time jobs. These jobs will not allow someone to provide for their family. Real meaningful job creation is still needed).
* More Americans are now employed than ever recorded before in our history.
(This is a misrepresentation. It does not take into account the population growth of the US and is wrong when you look at it on a per capita basis)
* More than 400,000 manufacturing jobs created since his election.
(This has nothing to do with trump. He inherited an economy on the rise from his predecessor).
* Trump appointed 5 openly gay ambassadors.👀👀
(does he want a medal for this? They are people, who cares if they are gay or not. The fact that he had to draw attention to it only signifies that it was done for political reasons. The quality of someones work needs to be the sole determination of their position, not their sexual orientation).
* Trump ordered Ric Grenell, his openly gay ambassador to Germany, to lead a global initiative to decriminalize homosexuality across the globe.
(Again, see the previous point, who cares if Ric Grenell is gay or not. Why draw attention to it? What meaningful change has this made? People are still executed in some Muslim countries for being gay)
* Through Trump’s Anti-Trafficking Coordination Team (ACTeam) initiative, Federal law enforcement more than doubled convictions of human traffickers and increased the number of defendants charged by 75% in ACTeam districts.
(Yet he has been photographed in public numerous times with high ranking human traffickers that are linked to the exploitation of minors. Additionally when the last high ranking human sex trafficker was arrested, he stated on TV in an interview that he wished her wll. This sounds like something that was done without him even knowing about it).
* In 2018, the Department of Justice (DOJ) dismantled an organization that was the internet’s leading source of prostitution-related advertisements resulting in sex trafficking.
(This has nothing to do with who was elected at the time and more to do with proper police work)
* Trump’s OMB published new anti-trafficking guidance for government procurement officials to more effectively combat human trafficking.
(Yet human trafficking is more prevalent today then ever before. This again has to do with police work and nothing to do with Trump himself. I know for a fact that he did not have anything to do with the guidance. The guidelines were created by educated people trying to make a difference and Trump just took credit for it).
* Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations arrested 1,588 criminals associated with Human Trafficking.
(And still has the children in internment camps at the border. They are separated from their families and living in squalor).
* Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services provided funding to support the National Human Trafficking Hotline to identify perpetrators and give victims the help they need.
(This is a sign of the times and has nothing to do with Trump. Something has to be done about it and no matter who was in office, something similar would have been done).
* The hotline identified 16,862 potential human trafficking cases.
(This is a sign of the times and has nothing to do with Trump. Something has to be done about it and no matter who was in office, something similar would have been done).
* Trump’s DOJ provided grants to organizations that support human trafficking victims – serving nearly 9,000 cases from July 1, 2017, to June 30, 2018.👀👀
(Again, with the rise of human trafficking something had to be done. Similar actions would have been done by any sitting president. I find it hard to believe that this was something that actually means anything to a man who admitted to sexual assault on tape).
* The Department of Homeland Security has hired more victim assistance specialists, helping victims get resources and support.
(Again, with the rise of human trafficking something had to be done. Similar actions would have been done by any sitting president. I find it hard to believe that this was something that actually means anything to a man who admitted to sexual assault on tape).
* President Trump has called on Congress to pass school choice legislation so that no child is trapped in a failing school because of his or her zip code.👀👀
(Yet has not done anything to fix the actual issue - shitty schools. In fact, Trump has reduced the amount of money dedicated to education overall significantly since coming into office).
* The President signed funding legislation in September 2018 that increased funding for school choice by $42 million.
(Yet has not done anything to fix the actual issue - shitty schools. In fact, Trump has reduced the amount of money dedicated to education overall significantly since coming into office).
* The tax cuts signed into law by President Trump promote school choice by allowing families to use 529 college savings plans for elementary and secondary education.👀👀
(The bigger issue is that public schools are so poorly funded that people need to pay for a private education. Public education in the US lags so far behind any other first world country it is not even funny).
* Under his leadership ISIS has lost most of their territory and been largely dismantled.
(Yet ISIS was in place from the US involvement in middle eastern countries to begin with).
* ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi was killed.
(With the amount of money the US spends on the military, it is not a surprise he was killed. However, I can safely bet that it cost about as much as a brand new school for this operation to happen).
* Signed the first Perkins CTE reauthorization since 2006, authorizing more than $1 billion for states each year to fund vocational and career education programs.
(Yet the US still lags behind every other developed nation in education)
* Executive order expanding apprenticeship opportunities for students and workers.
(After looking into this, it turns out that nothing of note happened from this action).
* Trump issued an Executive Order prohibiting the U.S. government from discriminating against Christians or punishing expressions of faith.
(Yet openly discriminates against other religions himself. The US government was founded on the separation of church and state, yet trump panders to Christianity over any other religion to increase his votes).
* Signed an executive order that allows the government to withhold money from college campuses deemed to be anti-Semitic and who fail to combat anti-Semitism.
(Again, this is not something to brag about, it should be common sense that any Anti-Semetic organization period does not get government funding. It doesn’t matter what market the business falls into).
* President Trump ordered a halt to U.S. tax money going to international organizations that fund or perform abortions.
(The government has no right to interfere in this area. This is a negative not a positive).
* Trump imposed sanctions on the socialists in Venezuela who have killed their citizens.
(Yet US police officers continue to kill US citizens)
* Finalized new trade agreement with South Korea.
(Nothing to say on this one, trade is trade no matter who is in office. Pretty sure this had nothing to do with Trump himself).
* Made a deal with the European Union to increase U.S. energy exports to Europe.👀👀
(Again this really doesnt have anything to do with Trump).
* Withdrew the U.S. from the job killing TPP deal.
(Way to much to unpack here. This could be an essay about the size of this list on its own. In summary, the TPP deal he withdrew from would have made a drastic improvement on the environment).
* Secured $250 billion in new trade and investment deals in China and $12 billion in Vietnam.
(Since this has happened, it has come to light that the trade deals he made with a lot of the large corporations in China use forced labor, or flat out economic slavery. China’s reprehensible humanitarian situation is not something to be proud to support).
* Okay’d up to $12 billion in aid for farmers affected by unfair trade retaliation.👀👀
(The only reason the farmers were in the situation to begin with was because of Trumps shitty foreign policy. That is like hitting someone with a baseball bat and being proud that you gave them a bandaid after).
* Has had over a dozen US hostages freed, including those Obama could not get freed.
(How many new hostages has he not freed since coming into office? What is the total amount of freed hostages that Obama helped? This is an empty statement)
* Trump signed the Music Modernization Act, the biggest change to copyright law in decades.
(Enforcing draconic conditions on Youtubers and other streamers so that media companies can make more money. This is a blatant act of pandering to multi-national corporations, not a law that actually helps the general population).
* Trump secured Billions that will fund the building of a wall at our southern border.
(how is this a positive? Billions of dollars spent on something that will do absolutely nothing to help the country. His precious wall is falling over in some places, and extremely ineffective in others. This was a stupid idea to begin with).
* The Trump Administration is promoting second chance hiring to give former inmates the opportunity to live crime-free lives and find meaningful employment.
(Yet, to this day it is extremely unlikely that a former inmate will get hired in a meaningful employment situation).
* Trump’s DOJ and the Board Of Prisons launched a new “Ready to Work Initiative” to help connect employers directly with former prisoners.👀👀
(Yet, to this day it is extremely unlikely that a former inmate will get hired in a meaningful employment situation).
* President Trump’s historic tax cut legislation included new Opportunity Zone Incentives to promote investment in low-income communities across the country.
(This does nothing for small business in the low-income communities. It is geared towards large organizations that already make insane money globally. This generates low income jobs for people that can’t support themselves on the wages supplied. This does nothing overall and instead perpetuates the broken system we live in where the rich get richer and the poor stay poor).
* 8,764 communities across the country have been designated as Opportunity Zones.
(See original comment)
* Opportunity Zones are expected to spur $100 billion in long-term private capital investment in economically distressed communities across the country.
(See original comment)
* Trump directed the Education Secretary to end Common Core.👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
(Yet almost every other educated country is moving in this direction. Way to stand out Mr. Trump, prevent our children from learning something that every one they will deal with in the future will know)
* Trump signed the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund into law.
(this is a big one to unwrap. I will not comment on it here. Too much to get into)
* Trump signed measure funding prevention programs for Veteran suicide.👀👀
(Yet does nothing to help stem the actual problem of why Veterans have a higher suicide rate to begin with. It is a political token gesture that will never have a net positive effect).
* Companies have brought back over a TRILLION dollars from overseas because of the TCJA bill that Trump signed.
(Yet almost every large corporation still has tax havens they use. In fact, the cruise industry that was hit so hard due to Covid is getting a bailout even though they have their head offices and businesses registered in other countries to avoid paying taxes).
* Manufacturing jobs are growing at the fastest rate in more than 30 years.
(Has absolutely nothing to do with Trump).
* Median household income has hit highest level ever recorded.
(This is due more to inflation then anything Trump has done)
* African-American unemployment is at an all time low.
(Yet the majority of African-Americans still predominantly live below the poverty line. This is a token catch phrase that obfuscates the real issue – Jobs created are primarily part time-minimum wage positions that no one can afford to live on).
* Hispanic-American unemployment is at an all time low.
(Mainly because of his heavy handed deporting of Hispanic people, and internment camps at the border)
* Asian-American unemployment is at an all time low.
(this applies to the next few items as well. The new jobs created are almost all minimum wage jobs where the employees can not afford to live on the wages they receive. The last stats i found stated that 94% of the new jobs created are minimum wage. Most of these people require food stamps to supplement their income in order to survive which is a net drain on the economy)
* Women’s unemployment rate is at a 65-year low.
(this applies to the next few items as well. The new jobs created are almost all minimum wage jobs where the employees can not afford to live on the wages they receive. The last stats i found stated that 94% of the new jobs created are minimum wage. Most of these people require food stamps to supplement their income in order to survive which is a net drain on the economy)
* Youth unemployment is at a 50-year low.
(this applies to the next few items as well. The new jobs created are almost all minimum wage jobs where the employees can not afford to live on the wages they receive. The last stats i found stated that 94% of the new jobs created are minimum wage. Most of these people require food stamps to supplement their income in order to survive which is a net drain on the economy)
* We have the lowest unemployment rate ever recorded.
(this applies to the next few items as well. The new jobs created are almost all minimum wage jobs where the employees can not afford to live on the wages they receive. The last stats i found stated that 94% of the new jobs created are minimum wage. Most of these people require food stamps to supplement their income in order to survive which is a net drain on the economy)
* The Pledge to America’s Workers has resulted in employers committing to train more than 4 million Americans.
(The commitment is nothing without action. To date, next to no training has happened that would allow a worker to significantly improve their station in life)
* 95 percent of U.S. manufacturers are optimistic about the future— the highest ever.
(This is a flat out lie. It is untrue on so many levels. Any research into it will disprove it)
* As a result of the Republican tax bill, small businesses will have the lowest top marginal tax rate in more than 80 years
(Again a lie. The tax breaks were for multi-national corporations. Hardly any tax breaks were given to small business)
* Record number of regulations eliminated that hurt small businesses.
(Also a lie, the regulations eliminated were mostly unavailable to most small businesses, but were very accessible to large corporations)
* Signed welfare reform requiring able-bodied adults who don’t have children to work or look for work if they’re on welfare.🙌
(They are required to work, however the only jobs in the market can not support their families)
* Under Trump, the FDA approved more affordable generic drugs than ever before in history.
(Yet prescriptions in the USA are still orders of magnitude higher in cost then almost every other country with no sign of declining prices)
* Reformed Medicare program to stop hospitals from overcharging low-income seniors on their drugs—saving seniors 100’s of millions of $$$ this year alone.👀👀
(again, a lie, Trump stripped most of the previous administrations programs of their ability to reduce seniors drug prices and then put new laws into place that are less effective in reducing drug prices. In essence, he spent huge amounts of money putting programs into place that were less effective then the programs he removed)
* Signed Right-To-Try legislation allowing terminally ill patients to try experimental treatment that wasn’t allowed before.
(This is great, however the primary reason people use this is trials are typically less expensive then existing health care options. People risk their lives in order to save money on treatment)
* Secured $6 billion in new funding to fight the opioid epidemic.❤️❤️
(The opiod epidemic is largely in place due to lax government regulations on the pharmaceutical industry. This is not something to brag about)
* Signed VA Choice Act and VA Accountability Act, expanded VA telehealth services, walk-in-clinics, and same-day urgent primary and mental health care.👀👀
(again not something to brag about. This should be significantly better then it is. I personally know quite a few veterans that struggle to get their basic health care needs. More needs to be done).
* U.S. oil production recently reached all-time high so we are less dependent on oil from the Middle East.
(This has nothing to do with trump at all, he is not pumping the oil himself)
* The U.S. is a net natural gas exporter for the first time since 1957.
(Again this would have happened no matter who was president, not trumps doing)
* NATO allies increased their defense spending because of his pressure campaign.
(at the expense of other social programs that benefited the citizens of their respective countries).
* Withdrew the United States from the job-killing Paris Climate Accord in 2017 and that same year the U.S. still led the world by having the largest reduction in Carbon emissions.👀👀
(Carbon reduction is bullshit, it is a buzzword and that is all. Countries need to be measured on net carbon production for this to be effective and they are not. For example Canada has not met their carbon reduction guidelines, however due to the massive amount of trees in the country, overall, they remove more carbon from the atmosphere then almost every other country)
* Has his circuit court judge nominees being confirmed faster than any other new administration.
(and they are all puppets that follow trump's orders)
* Had his Supreme Court Justice’s Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh confirmed.
(again his puppets)
* Moved U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.👀👀
(inconsequential)
* Agreed to a new trade deal with Mexico & Canada that will increase jobs here and $$$ coming in.
(At the expense of civil negotiations with either country. In Canada alone, most of the population boycotted American goods significantly reducing the amount of trade between the countries. Unsure about Mexican trade)
* Reached a breakthrough agreement with the E.U. to increase U.S. exports.
(Unsure how this panned out in the long run)
* Imposed tariffs on China in response to China’s forced technology transfer, intellectual property theft, and their chronically abusive trade practices, has agreed to a Part One trade deal with China.
(This has done absolutely nothing to stem any of the issues mentioned. All it did was sour relations between the countries)
* Signed legislation to improve the National Suicide Hotline.👀
(Unsure on this one, need to do more research)
* Signed the most comprehensive childhood cancer legislation ever into law, which will advance childhood cancer research and improve treatments.
(All this law did was provide more money to the pharmaceutical companies. Treatment will still be extremely expensive in the US)
* The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law by Trump doubled the maximum amount of the child tax credit available to parents and lifted the income limits so more people could claim it
(The low income people that need this would have been better helped by creating more jobs that are not minimum wage instead. Families can not afford to live on the wages they are getting from the jobs created by Trump and his administration)
* It also created a new tax credit for other dependents.
(Same issue as the previous statement)
* In 2018, President Trump signed into law a $2.4 billion funding increase for the Child Care and Development Fund, providing a total of $8.1 billion to States to fund child care for low-income families.
(Again, same issue. If trump would have created more than minimum wage jobs, this would not be as big of an issue)
* The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC) signed into law by Trump provides a tax credit equal to 20-35% of child care expenses, $3,000 per child & $6,000 per family + Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) allow you to set aside up to $5,000 in pre-tax $ to use for child care.
(Again great in theory, but the main reason these people have a difficult time paying their monthly expenses is that a huge portion of jobs in the market are minimum wage)
* In 2019 President Donald Trump signed the Autism Collaboration, Accountability, Research, Education and Support Act (CARES) into law which allocates $1.8 billion in funding over the next five years to help people with autism spectrum disorder and to help their families.👀👀
(Again, this money is going to the pharmaceutical companies primarily. Hardly anything trickles down to the actual families)
* In 2019 President Trump signed into law two funding packages providing nearly $19 million in new funding for Lupus specific research and education programs, as well an additional $41.7 billion in funding for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the most Lupus funding EVER.
(Again, this money is going to the pharmaceutical companies primarily. Hardly anything trickles down to the actual families)
* Another upcoming accomplishment to add: In the next week or two Trump will be signing the first major anti-robocall law in decades called the TRACED Act (Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence.) Once it’s the law, the TRACED Act will extend the period of time the FCC has to catch & punish those who intentionally break telemarketing restrictions. The bill also requires voice service providers to develop a framework to verify calls are legitimate before they reach your phone.
(This will be highly ineffective without the means to police the problem. Also, it is like trying to plug a huge hole in a dam with your finger. Almost every major cell phone carrier already has developed the ability to display a possible scam message on your phone when a call comes in that is questionable. This was developed in advance by the companies. Additionally, the bill does not do much in terms of forcing ISP's to hand over customer information. Almost every robocall has moved long ago to web based services where they can create an unlimited number of phone numbers free, and mask the identity of their company in the process. A useless bill against a constantly shifting and evolving epidemic)
* US stock market continually hits all-time record highs.
(With his own cabinet doing insider trading with no accountability)
* Because so many people asked for a document with all of this listed in one place, here it is. No links provided to remove bias as Google search is easy. Print this out for family, friends, neighbors, etc. I encourage you to drop this list off to voters before the 2020 election too!
(No links are provided because most of this is untrue. Anyone can type a wall of text without facts)
*Trump did all of this while fighting flagrant abuse and impeachment charges.
(The only reason he got off on the impeachment charges was because of a flagrant abuse of power. He brags about not being impeached yet if the deck was not so stacked in his favor by the cronies he put in power, he would have been. This is a failing of the US government, not something to brag about)
From David Ballard on FB
Dude has been in office for 3 years.... what has he done? Other than dodging the darts the media and Pelosi have thrown?!?

* The First Step Act’s reforms addressed inequities in sentencing laws that disproportionately harmed Black Americans and reformed mandatory minimums that created unfair outcomes.👀👀
* The First Step Act expanded judicial discretion in sentencing of non-violent crimes.
* Over 90% of those benefitting from the retroactive sentencing reductions in the First Step Act are Black Americans.
* The First Step Act provides rehabilitative programs to inmates, helping them successfully rejoin society and not return to crime.
* Trump increased funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) by more than 14%.👀👀

United States n peril - help!
It is obvious from Stevie D’s horrific diatribe that many of my fellow American citizens- those that mindlessly show fealty to the heinous tRump imperium- are neither patriots, nor students of history. His mindless, hateful rant- like those of his obermeister tRump- shows his blind ignorance of the facts, truths, and the massive evidence of the greatest criminal conspiracy to ever take place on our shores. Unlike the immigrants who may die trying to come to our country- who are now being deported or barred from entry by tRump- these domestic deplorables are the ones who should be deported.
I don’t they will find a home in the UK.
So well described
I sent to Michael
The Brits are supposed to be me literate than we are.
Cheers!
As Mr White said, “Trump makes Nixon look trustworthy, & G W Bush intelligent”, & of course, the President is “The Shakespeare of shit“.
Classic quotes, all! Keep them coming! Hopefully, the circus leaves town come November!
