    I don't think Trump is evil. I think he's a bit silly. But I don't think he has a very sophisticated grasp of all the pressing issues. He's hardly a statesman. But you know...Good luck with that!

    Fair enough but he endorses a level of rudeness that makes your statement mote. Respect is earned not given. When he respects others he might get it. But in his world there is loyalty of name calling.

    He has never made a dime himself. He has only lost money on any bussiness. His dad gave him enough money to still be "rich". This is why he's stupid. He has not accomplished anything yet carries the arrogance of doing so. Like many wealthy Americans it's all about how dad invested. That is why you can loose millions on steaks or casinos and still think you know what you are doing. Also why the economy is beginning to crash when you look at the numbers that mattter not what Fox tells you. Same poor decisions.

  7. Having personally watched the children of wealthy people squander every dime on self-indulgent shit, I have little faith in successive generations when it comes to wealth. Most of the wealthy people I have known were seriously greedy bastards who did everything they could to scrape a nickel extra from each deal. Few of them teach this to their children effectively.

    And Fox doesn't tell me shit, but thanks for sliding that little bit of snark into the discussion. Surely you have seen that Fox only plays at being "conservative" (if that's their aim). To this day any story they do on Trayvon, gone but not forgotten, shows a picture of a 12 year old. It's great theater, but it's not reality.

    As for wealth, it takes a certain personality to keep it going. A certain dedication. And experimenting in the market is a natural choice.

    You're suggestion that Donald Trump, the president, has NEVER made a dime on his own, sounds more like hysteria than facts. Rich people exist on a cloud most of us would never know. So unless you're a billionaire, I just can't accept your suggestions here as holding much weight.

    Trump launched his political career by his public embrace of birtherism, challenging the legitimacy of Obama's presidency, even after Obama produced the birth certificate. He launched his presidential candidacy by renting against Mexican rapists, then insulting a gold star family and saying that a judge of Mexican heritage couldn't be impartial. Then there was the Charlottesville aftermath when he said some neo-Nazis were very fine people. And lately his attacks on the intelligence of African-American news reporters who dare to ask him unwanted questions. I personally don't think he's a racist. I think he's an evil man who uses race as a tool in the pursuit of personal power.

  10. I'm inclined to see this as the same recipe for Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Jesse's big mouth was caught on an open mic suggesting that Obama needed to be castrated. Because of that he was an outcast for Obama's entire presidential terms AND his kid stayed in jail.

    What I can't decide though is what I want for dinner this evening (which is far more important to me than Trump).

    Earn? His daddy set him up at 3 years old to receive money as a tax dodge. By the time he was 8 years old--he was a millionaire! Earn, my ass. His grandfather wasn't allowed back into Germany because of his crooked ways. They're a crime family pure and simple.
