It's Donald season
    9 years ago
            Yes indeed it does seem to be.  By Donald, I of course mean Trump.  Who else could it be, right?  Let's be perfectly clear.  I hate the man.  I loathe him.  Every time he speaks I want to put my fist through the TV screen or computer monitor and punch him square between those beady little eyes.  But I digress.  This isn't about my hatred.  I would like to offer up some thoughts for those of you who support him, or those who detest him.
Those who support him say that you need someone who is successful and knows how to get things done. On the surface that sounds like a completely reasonable assertion. It's true. It would be great if politicians could get things done, but is Trump really the man who will be able to get things done in any field other than the one he's had success in? I think not. Let me explain.
Trump has had success. There is no denying that. He's a billionaire. How did he get to be a billionaire? It certainly wasn't from selling books on etiquette. But again, I digress. He became a billionaire by selling and developing real estate. Fair enough. How did he get started? He turned his multi-million dollar inheritance into his billions now. Anyone who knows anything about real estate knows that it's not really that difficult. The reason that there aren't more billionaires out there from real estate is because there aren't that many people who start off with several millions of dollars. Trump did. That's what set him apart from others. Nothing more. If I had a 40 million dollar inheritance back in the 1980s, I definitely could have been successful. In fact, I probably would have been even more successful because I wouldn't have been so full of myself that I had a super model wife who eventually divorced me and took half of my wealth, or need to declare bankruptcy 4 times over the course of my career. Nevertheless, I'll admit that we've established that he's successful because he was a millionaire to start with.
How successful has he been outside of real estate? Let's see. Trump vodka failed. Trump shuttle failed. Trump magazine failed. Trump World magazine failed. Trump steaks failed. Trump University was a total scam. That's a lot of failure outside of real estate. Is he a successful business man? I think not.
Trump supporters like the fact that he's honest. I think that they're mistaking his blunt, unapologetic attitude as being honest. There are so many dishonest, untrue and outright wrong facts that he has said. This has been shown time and time again on the media, but his supporters get all butt hurt and automatically defend him by saying that the liberal media are just trying to bring him down.
Media is just reporting what he said, to be perfectly honest. He said that Mexicans are rapists, their drug dealers, and some of them, he assumes, are nice people. He said that. No one made him say those things. It was his own stupidity, and lack of understanding the real world. Another thing is that Trump is really just an entertainer. He's a con man. He's an expert manipulator. He knows how to prey on the little guy and make them believe the stuff he's selling. He's done that for decades. Hell, he even believes his own garbage. That's how good he is. He's made himself believe that he's the best thing for the country. Please don't be fooled.
Do you seriously think that any other civilized country in the world is going to want to deal with this man? He's a spoiled brat. He's that child that refuses to eat his vegetables when mommy and daddy (aka, the grown ups of society) say he has to. That must be the secret then. Half the country is also like a spoiled brat who doesn't know what's good for it. Trump is the chocolate that ruins a healthy meal.
Now I'm not claiming that politicians are good. In fact, I detest politicians entirely. I do think that the lobbyists are running the country. Just because Trump says he's self-funding his campaign, though, doesn't mean that he doesn't have his own agenda. What might that be? Looking at his track record, his sole motivation in life is entirely hedonistic. He's in it for himself. He wants to make his own life better. The man only ever does something if it makes his own brand better. That's what he's become. He's the mascot for the Trump brand. Do you want a hedonistic narcissist to be president? In simple words people, that means that he loves himself entirely (before anything else) and he only wants to give himself pleasure and happiness. Trump is not the answer to the country's problems. He's worse than the cure. He's a different kind of virus. I only hope people truly see the light before it's too late.
Thinking ahead, what would the likely result be if, God forbid, he's actually elected as president? We've already seen that there is no politician in government who will work with him. Since no one will work with him, the government will shut down completely. Trump will then be forced to become a dictator and tyrant in order to get the job done. That's something that everyone feared Obama would become. That's something that Dubya came damn close to becoming. Trump will have no choice. Then we'll see the government of the US become The Apprentice: White House Edition. He'll call other republicans into his office and say that they're fired. It doesn't work that way Donny. They were elected by their consituents. They weren't hired by you. Therein lies the problem. Donald will be a totally ineffective and impotent mascot for the States.
Think it's so far fetched? How about this theory? He's a real estate developer. If you elect him, he gets the entire country. He's already made lots of great deals with "Chinamen" in real estate. Maybe he'll just sell the country and be known as the greatest real estate deal in history. That'll be even bigger than the Louisiana Purchase. If Trump wins, that means everyone else loses. He's fine with that. After all, it's all about him. It always has been.

But yea he acts ...quite interesting to say the least
Like I thought he was doing this for fun because he is bored or something.
Just wanted to be "funny" like the "comedian" he "is".
But nope.. the "fool" gained some ground ... Amazing...-_-
Not hurt him.. But scare him
If you want a good laugh, and a possible explanation for Trump's success so far, you should look up a video on YouTube. Bill Maher Self-Esteem Movement. It's funny and has quite a lot of truth to it, I think.
Because, hey! The President of the United States is just elected indirectly over the Electoral Colleges while House and Senate are elected directly, so (theoretically) based on democratic principle Congress has more legitimacy then the President and should have - in the end - more power, also because they are a group of people and not a single person.
The president still has veto powers, but most of the time, there needs to be a lot more governmental involvement for laws and such to be passed.
The more I've seen of the two main likely candidates (Hillary still hasn't gotten the nomination, I don't think), the more I really believe that this election cycle has to be without a doubt THE worst crop of candidates in the history of the States. They're both basically crooked criminals, and blatantly so. One is a thin-skinned trash-talking egomaniac, and the other is a woman who has more balls than the man who is her opponent. It's already the most pathetic election I've ever seen. And let's not forget -- the election process still basically takes 2 years!!!!!! and this is the best they get? Wow.
*steps off the ranting block temporarily*
sorry … I really get mad when I talk about Trump.
