    So sad and unfortunate it triggers intense dislike for the guy in many ;) Personally I wouldn't describe it as hate either. But dislike certainly.

    I think most of us humans make mistakes as we go through life and most/many of us try to learn from them. I don't have to spell it out, do I?

    Interesting list. Let's analyze it. Calling Trump a racist doesn't mean he's against all races. He's obviously not an anti-Semite. His son-in law is oJewish something some of his Nazi supporters find troubling. As it says on the poster: "loved his Jewish grandchildren". And he did declare Jerusalem the ca[ital of Israel and move the U.S. Embassy there--to fulfill the dream of the biggest contributor to his campaign, Jewish casino operator Sheldon Adelson. Whoop de doo!. Kissed the Western Wall? Shameless bid for the Jewish vote! Same goes for deportation of 95-year-old Jackiw Palij, ex-Nai prison guard. His denunciation of David Duke falls into the same category. He noted in thr year 2000 that he wouldn't support the Reform Party because it now included a Klansman, Mr. Duke, a neo-Nazi. Yet he has curiously gone back and forth on Duke, as the political wind blows. In March, 2016, during the election campain when Trump was asked by CNN's Jake Tapper if he would disavow Duke, he said
    "Just so you understand, I don't know anything about David Duke, OK?" After the public uproar, he denounced Duke a few days later.

    Where African-Americans are concerned, he dated a bi-racial model.Kara Young Excellent taste! Beautiful woman. Equal opportunity pussy grabber. Obviously, lots of white slave owners back in the day weren't racist when it came to sampling "darki" women. Then there's the claim of loaning his personal jet to Nelson Mandela. That refers to the Trump Shuttle, one of Trump's filed business efforts, that he defaulted on in 1990. As the operation neared bankruptcy, Trump tried to monetize the shuttles' spare aircraft by providing it for Mandala's 8-city tour. Great publicity! Upgrading MLK's birthplace is tokenism. Granting clemency to Alice Johnson and a posthumous pardon for Jack Johnson? Alice Johnson's pardon came at the urgent behest of celebrity Kim Kardashian, wife of Kanye West, whose gushy televised endorsement of Trump had recently been the subject of a news cycle. The pardoning of heavyweight boxing champ Jack Johnson 78 years after his death was obviously and conspicuously a slap at Obama and his predecessors, who unlike Trump followed protocol in waiting for a Justice Department recommendation that never came. Trump’s pardons are not policies for the African American community The lifetime achievement award wasn't a real award; just some nice words given to Trump in the nineties by Jessie Jackson for Trump's work on the Wall Street Project. The Opportunity and Revitalzation Council and the crime reform act seem promising. As for overseeing the lowest black unemployment in history, that statement is artfully worded. Trump happens to be president during a time of job and economic growth that continues a trend established under his predecessor. Between 2010 and 2016, unemployment fell from 10 percent to 4.8 percent when Obama left and is currently 4.3 percent. The growth is also a result of the improving world economy. Trump's tax cut and minor cutbacks in regulations may have helped, but at the cost of a $ trillion added to the deficit. So I'm not impressed. But of course it's what's left out that's resulted in Trump being called "racist". I'll get to that. Whoever put the poster together ought to have a bright career helping new college grads pad their resumes.

  5. Agreed, When I was a sailor I wanted to date every kind of woman I could. So many of the women in Florida look alike to me; over tanned, over bleached and over breasted.

    One thing I learned though is that all of the women seemed to find the same shit to bitch at me about (usually my pot habit, my car habit and my computer habit). The worst was hearing all that coming at me in broken English. It was torture not to fall down laughing at the shit they'd cobble together to spew at me. Ultimately, I married a Florida girl.
     
  6. Now that's an interesting perspective. Even though I don't discriminate against anyone (unless they have proven already to be an asshole), and certainly not because of something as trite as color or ethnicity, I have not yet met every ethnicity on the planet. There's still some possibility there are people I would just hate immediately upon first contact.

    So I guess I'll need to travel around the planet several times to be absolutely certain I'm not a racist.

    But then, what difference does that make when I'm automatically assumed to be a racist because I'm "white"? It would be a wasted effort.

    It's easier to simply let people with narrow minds go about their business happily. Engaging them is fruitless.

    Your post is a non sequitor. You previously offered a poster purporting to show us that Donald Trump is not a racist. Among the points featured was that he's not an Anti-Semite because: his grandchildren are Jewish, he kissed the Western Wall, he moved the Embassy to Jerusalem, he deported a Nazi prison guard, and (eventually) denounced David Duke. This all goes to show he isn't an anti-Semite, but that was never the issue. He's mainly been accused of being anti-Muslim, anti-Hispanic anti- African-American. Your response is subject-changing diversionary gobbledygook --a smokescreen of double talk with vague hints of indignation about somehow being persecuted yourself (because you're white and somebody has dared to challenge you?). No need to take it so personally when somebody calls you out for trying to whitewash Trump

    I don't hate Trump or Obama or The Clintons.

    Today, Speaker Pelosi said: "He's not worth it"

    the question isn't why do 2/3rds of everybody have no use in hell for the horse he rode in on?
    the question is why does trump hate everyone who isn't donald trump?

    In addition to his ridiculous budget proposal and spending bill, the trade deficit between the US and China has grown to over 200 Billion (so much for trumps Tariffs)
    and the overall National Debt has grown so large it makes the Obama administration looks like the John Birch Society

    Electing Donald Trump president is the most ridiculous thing this country has ever done.

    When he said We'll build a wall and make Mexico pay for it, I thought that's it, he's toast. No one with any sense is going to fall for that. Sadly, I underestimated the gullibility of many Americans.

    He has alienated world leaders he should embrace while embracing leaders he should oppose, shut down the government over trying to build a wall that would be expensive and ineffective, then declared a national emergency over it, taken credit for an economy that was stimulated by the previous administration and has attacked any press critical of him as fake news. His staff has had the highest rate of turnover in history because he fires those who aren't yes-men or they just quit out of frustration from trying to deal with the whole clusterfuck.

    He's in over his head but will never admit it. I think he wants out. He won't step aside but I suspect in the next election he won't campaign very hard.

    I was guilty of this when it came to the Iraqi war in 2002. I thought, no way America will fall for this shit; but they did. Since then I haven't really been surprised at anything Americans support. This includes the election of Donald Trump. Just another example of how ignorant or apathetic people are.

    Maybe because his mum is Scottish and the Scottish people are so strange.

    BTW: I have no right to an Opinion on the Man as I am not From the USA.

    He's a textbook sociopath and narcissist. There is no way he will ever even in a 2020 election truly accept or step aside of anything. He will claim the Democratic party cheated him and somehow all the Mexicans voted. . He knows that this is the only way he could fail. We have given him the power he knows he deserves and with this power he can hurt anyone that helps him

    Mental health terms are thrown around so much on the right wing regarding the left. Always implying any belief fundamentally in these ideas means you are sick. So when I use terms I realize they have no meaning to them but it's true. Any professional in those fields sees and numerous ones have spoken in the media. This is the kind of a man a therapist tells you to leave, a boss where you post a resume, a friend who you cut off. And in many cases a man in prison for fraud, theft, or murder. All done since they deserved and could take it. Men who are often successful CEO's too although we can not say Trump is a successful businessman. That's another lie he sold to the poor.

    Also, men who are very charming to some people. Unless you know them closely you are unlikely to ever get hurt. They know how to please. Society is a game to them and they find you stupid when they can understand you. If people like you they do things for you and you can use them. This is great for people with his mindset. The abuser can always blame harsh behavior on the cruelty or stupidity of outsiders. He's a great guy if only stupid people would accept that and of course everyone who ever challenges him is stupid. Violence is also because people just did not respect him. Most people love him so why do you make him hit you/ call his militia?

    It comes down to the gamble every American has to make. His supporters will not accept a 2020 defeat and will count on the military or Bubba the guy with a Ar-15 to not allow that. Most Americans are counting on police and militaty having a greater understanding of what's democracy and what's true war.

    I think we are going to deal with some alt-right terrorism. I'm disappointed but not surprised. It's either this terrorism now or the same thing when they feel the time is right for a "moral" civil war on the premise the Democratic party still has some control of voters. They are not willing to accept differing views and have had fantasies of killing Democrats since the 70's. Once the USSR was gone the crazy right wing element of this went off the deep end. They always assumed the Russians would kill the Democrats if the Cold War happened and they would be left to save Capitalism. Without a common enemy they turned on other Americans.

    Too much crazy that is too against America is in the open. Someone is going to die. I wish it was not the case and I'd love to be wrong but people are going to die in the near future. The question is just the voters of who.

    It just occurred to me that this thread should have been titled 'Why Do People Love Trump So Much?'. That is a far more interesting question.
