You don’t want to get to political, but the US is a totalitarian regime with a president who lied his way into office? I think you missed the mark a little there.
- scarface74 8y agoYou can say a lot about Trump. But he was the most honest politician during the campaign. He told America exactly who he was and exactly what his base wanted to hear.
- AmericanChopper 8y agoI’m not actually saying anything about him. I’m just astounded by the ridiculous contradictions in the parent comment.
- rosege 8y agoTelling your base exactly what they want to hear doesn't make you honest. There were a campaign slogan that he later said during another rally was just bullshit but he said it because it played well. There was a Daily Show where they showed it but I cant find it now but I can find things like this which illustrate the point: https://www.independent.co.uk/News/world/americas/jared-kushner-donald-trump-lied-base-stupid-voters-supporters-president-son-in-law-white-house-a7764791.html https://www.independent.co.uk/News/world/americas/jared-kush...
- 75dvtwin 8y agoCorrupt and selective-outrage motivated Judiciary systems in China, former USSR republics and many countries in Africa -- is exactly what will continue to prevent citizens of these countries to want to stay there. Corruption of law enforcement (including FBI), pay-to-play corrupt politicians, and selective-outrage judiciary system -- is causing enormous damage to US credibility (and to continuing dominance of US dollar as peg currency). This is one of 3 reasons why Trump was elected, and this is what he is fixing as well (and it is hard). (the other two are: a US president must put US citizen's interests prioritized first. Second, is that policy and economic decisions MUST be based on merit, not wordsmithing exemplified by the smoke and mirrors of political correctness).
