Topic: Up Like Trump - page 98. (Read 572791 times)

I don't know anyone who "supports Trump because of his money."

I do think thought that he came to our attention - already famous - because of his money and TV show.  So that gave him a start which some lesser known candidates did not have.

Without exception people that support Trump like his ideas and positions.  Many like myself view his personality as less than likeable but understand that his business positions do not have anything to do with personality.

This I do not believe.  If Trump is a fraud (which I consider to be very possible) that will achieve the effect you describe.  If not, the POTUS has vastly more power to impose his/her will now than only a few cycles ago.  Ironically, this divergence from 'tradition' here in the U.S. was probably greased along specifically by the globalist contingent of the proverbial PTB as a means of achieving 'efficiency.'  It would be great if it ended up biting them hard on the ass.  The simple possibility of this is worth supporting Trump for as far as I am concerned.

Contrary to what most people think, the Trump Wall is NOT a wall to keep Mexicans out and U.S. citizens in. Rather, if Trump becomes President, it's the impenetrable wall that he is going run into that will keep him from carrying out 99+% of the things that he talks about in his campaign.

I read that Europeans don't have independent mass media, is that true? Why are Europeans against Donald Trump?

Over here in Europe I get the question all the time. "What's the deal with Americans? Are they really supporting Donald Trump for president?!?!".

Sadly enough, when Hillary wins they will be asking why our crazy president is starting so many wars.

Prior to super Tue, I vaguely knew only that he was a real estate guy from NY and had some show on TV which I had never seen.  Somehow I did have the idea that he had 'flirted' with the idea of politics for a long time.  I figured that I would not find Trump 'likable' mostly because I typically don't find such people very likable.

After paying some attention to Trump's speeches and interviews and such, I find him more likable than most people.  I enjoy his sense of humor a lot of times and respect his ability to employ strategy and to think on his feet.  It is clear to me that he is highly intelligent.   There are certain instances where he 'hit it out of the park' with me.  His stance on 'American Exceptional-ism' is a good example.

Probably, as a balkanac, I do not get every detail right, but I see many would support Trump because he could show enough money and thus prove himself to be a successful person. I do not know whether Donal Trump such a fake person, but I know, it is common scammer tactics to get people rely their decisions on one's wealth. If people believe you are a rich and therefore successful person, you can easily raise charm based on this image and then get people rely their money on your image, that, of course, a scammer would steal. Since in most cases the scammers actually are not rich people, they often fake their wealth. I am just asking the question, why would Donal Trump say he has more money than he really has? Since I currently am not living in America and have no exact idea about the current situation I cannot automatically trust Trump's rivals either, but I could appreciate a new candidate who can win my love without using suspicious tactics.

Just like Trump!  A heartless woman-hating anti-Muslim @$$h0le....And......ignored.

Buh-bye!

You're as ignorant as Trump for saying the wife was not allowed to speak.

She broke her silence to tell us that SHE'S GRIEVING you moron.  

Broad array of military luminaries condemn Trump over attacks on Khan family:

Absolutely three cheers for Assange & Company.  I wish they'd hack Trump's tax returns for "Real Transparency."

I could offer you many reasons why not to vote for Trump, but I think that by November, you will have your own.

For example, insulting a Gold Star Family grieving for their slain child?

Not very presidential.

At all.

Nice way to work Ron Paul into this thread!!!   LOL

Oh, and...

"Dear Russia, please hack our electoral process!

Love,

Donald."[/size]

There has been a great deal of bombast, of insults, of name-calling, and of chest-beating at both party conventions, but what is disturbingly absent is any mention of how we got to this crisis and how we can get out. From the current foreign policy mess to the looming economic collapse, all we hear is both party candidates saying they will fix it, no problem.

In her convention speech, Hillary Clinton promised that she would "fight terrorism" and defeat ISIS by doing more of what we have been doing all along: bombing. In fact, we have dropped more than 50,000 bombs on ISIS in Iraq and Syria over the past two years and all she can say is that she will drop more. How many more bombs will defeat ISIS? How many more years will she keep us in our longest war, Afghanistan? She doesn't say.

In fact, the New York Times – certainly not hostile to the Clintons – wrote that it was almost impossible to fact-check Hillary's speech because "she delivered a speech that was remarkable without hard facts."

Clinton's top foreign policy advisor said just a day after her convention speech that her big plan for Syria was to go back to square one and concentrate on overthrowing its secular president. How many more thousands more will die if she gets her way? And won't she eventually be forced to launch a massive US ground invasion that will also kill more Americans?

Clinton does not understand that a policy of endless interventionism has brought us to our knees and made us far weaker. Does she really expect us to be the policemen of the world with $20 trillion in debt?

Likewise, Republican candidate Donald Trump misses the point. He promises to bring back jobs to America without any understanding of the policies that led to their departure in the first place. Yes, he is correct that the middle class is in worse shape than when Obama took office, but not once did he mention how it happened: the destructive policies of the Federal Reserve. The financing of our warfare/welfare state through the printing of phony money. Distorted interest rates that encourage consumption and discourage saving and investment.
