to answer the question in the OP : Trump is not a globalist stooge, a puppet, a WEF mouthpiece. And hence the Media have it in for him......hence all the other stuff. Loads of people despise Trump while knowing precious little about his policies or the scruffy backgrounds of all the other 'politicians'. as in the UK & Ireland, the parliament is a cosy little club of insider parties with insider candidates. Trump is an outsider. As we see with Geert Wilders, outsiders get the votes of angry citizens. Thanks PV, that seems a plausible explanation. This is a definition of populism which is also much derided but in this light doesn't seem too bad. In politics, the word populist refers to someone who puts ordinary people's rights above those of the wealthy and powerful. It is basically a synonym of democrat, which when spelled with a lower-case d is simply a person who believes in democratic principles of rule by the people, freedom, and equality.

You are like Pavlov's Dog with Trump. Mention his name and you are off with a spluttering rant, splurting emissions like a faulty gas appliance. When this one man represents the most serious threat to western democracy in my lifetime it is vital that he, and the idea that he is the answer, is called out every time his name is mentioned. Democracy is precious but it could easily be lost with apathy and ignorance assuming what Trump does is OK. It’s just Trump being Trump! It isn’t. You might not care. You might be more concerned with making silly, obscure references. I do.

as i said in my other posting, most people throwing shyte at Trump know nothing about him. The US Jewish vote is strongly pro Trump. And Biden, Hilary Clinton, Obama and all the others can promise peace and will deliver constant War.....unlike Trump. Americans are sick and tired of seeing their youth returning from overseas in a body-bag. Fighting faraway wars and meanwhile the streets of Philadelphia ( and most other places) are ravaged by drugs, homelessness and a virtual breakdown of civilisation. Edited by PalazioVecchio (08 Dec 2023 9.56am) The streets of San Francisco have swapped Karl Malden and Michael Douglas for a layer of human poo.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

Trump warned that Western Europe and Germany in particular would be Russia's energy hostages, and he was 100% correct. Those with TDO get particularly vexed when he is proved right. Origin of covid another example. Yes but not a particularly outcome to predict. I've come to the realisation, that if Donald Trump, after all he has said and done, his pig ignorance, his stupidity, his sociopathy has not affected your admiration of him, then nothing I can say will. Just remember: if is looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and swims like a duck, chances are it's a duck. Good luck with the conspiracy theories.
I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything. |

Nor has there been. Just a steely determination to expose the dangers and hypocrisy. Holding opinions and arguing for them is fine but in a democracy no one man decides policy. Allowing public sentiment, and not the considered opinion of those elected to represent the people, to determine policy is the essence of populism. Trying to go behind or above the elected representatives cannot be tolerated. When a President decides to try to overturn the results of an election so he can continue in office, that action of itself destroys his credibility, whatever any individual thinks about any particular policy. Populism of the type represented by Trump is a big step on the way to dictatorship. They rarely end well, or serve the needs of the people.

I must confess I find him incredibly entertaining, particularly in his Twitter glory days. He shouldn’t be anywhere near a serious political seat, but as a character he’s bloody good value. I can’t believe people on either side take him so seriously.

Does trying to overturn the Brexit vote destroy credibility as well? I'm guessing not.

It's multi-factored, but chief amongst the reason for the visceral hatred is the reality that he represents what they think of as 'toxic' masculinity. Essentially those that hate him the most are feminists and feminised males. To them, just having the attitude of most men from the seventies and eighties now means you're comparable to Hitler. Load of tarts the lot of them. A lot of mileage in this but not the full picture. It says little for the US electorate but Republican presidents win by appearing thick but folksy. Who the hell wants that as leader of the free world?

There's a serious issue that, although the guy's a joke and a bit of a prat, he's still better for the country than the other serious candidates. I presume we're all being taken for a ride these days.
