> [@you\_with\_the\_face](#): > > 1. It’s crazy he lets himself get emotional about flag burning in the first place. So that isn’t a defense. Especially, as this [clip](http://www.cc.com/video-clips/slbivd/the-colbert-report-difference-makers---donald-trump) from the _Colbert Report_ shows, as of 2008, Trump didn’t even know what the stripes represent. ---

The people who think we should not pay attention to Trump’s tweets are nothing less than modern-day Neville Chamberlains. ---

[Trump had a banner 24 hours on Thursday](http://edition.cnn.com/2016/12/22/politics/donald-trump-24-hours/index.html): 1. He butted in on the UN vote on Israeli settlements. 2. He all but promised a nuclear-arms race with Russia. 3. His remarks on dropping a Lockheed Martin contract caused the stock to plunge 2% and sparked job-layoff fears. ---

Well, this whole F-35 debacle could be turned around, suck up some of that “beef up our military” gravy. Some news shots of an F-35 blowing up a mosque, say. In a _foreign_ country, just so there’s no misunderstanding here. ---

Trump did not use the anger of his opponents to win. He used the anger of his supporters. He used the complacency of his opponents–that we thought there would not be enough dumb or evil people to win, and we thought that didn’t need a charismatic opponent against what we see as his negative charisma. At this point, we can’t vote again for a while. So the point right now is just to point out how what we said about him is right. How this is exactly the bullshit we expected him to do. And, because, well, we may all die and be powerless to stop it. At least being able to get angry about it makes us feel better. ---

In a _foreign_ country, just so there’s no misunderstanding here. Or just maybe, he is doing this sort of thing (Lockheed and Boeing) as a way to manipulate stock prices for himself, his kids, or his cronies??? It’s entirely possible. ---
