You want to know what your problem is?.. You’re elitists and you hate America. Trump is a straight talker. He doesn’t talk fancy like all those politicians and fake news liberals on TV. He talks like regular Americans who love this country and want to take it back. MAGA! (Ugh… I’m off to take a long hot shower…) ---

Here’s some of what Shannon Kennedy (librul turned thump supporter) had to say: > [@](#): > > Then along came Trump. “The thing about him,” Kennedy tells me, “is that there’s forward energy. He’s like a horse with blinders at the Kentucky Derby. If there’s another horse in the way, knock it out and ride the rail. Well, he’s right that thump is like a horse with blinders on. The thing is, that Derby horse is being ridden by someone who knows what direction to go in. Thump isn’t and if anyone tries to tell him what direction to go in, he ignores them or flat-out defies them. > [@](#): > > I listened to him, on immigration, on draining the swamp, on lobbyists, and I liked that. As I recall, it was ‘We the people’ not ‘We the empowered.’ ” What does that even MEAN?? > [@](#): > > A little over a year in, Kennedy remains a fervent Trump supporter. He insists that he has no illusions. Trump is “brash,” a “rogue.” He’s also “a fighter, a scrapper, the kind of guy who says ‘damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.’ ” Yeah, full speed ahead even if you’re plowing ahead into your own fleet. > [@](#): > > He’s proving his stamina against the naysayers “who hate the man with a vileness that is very un-American.” The vileness with which people, and especially Congress, hated Obama was very un-American. What planet has this guy been living on? > [@](#): > > He’s draining Washington “of people with contempt for the people they represent.” The only way thump is draining anything is by hiring people who quit when 1) they can’t stomach him any more, or 2) their sordid, criminal personal/professional lives are uncovered. Roger Cohen does make a good point in his last paragraph: > [@](#): > > The message is clear. The same old, same old (for example, Joe Biden) won’t work. A whiff of got-the-system-rigged elitism from the Democrats will be fatal. A strong economic program for working Americans is essential. Look to purple-state America, not blue-state coastal America, for a candidate who is grappling with the country’s toughest issues and is strong on can-do, down-to-earth values. The question is: who is that candidate? S/He hasn’t appeared yet. ---

I’ve looked at it up one side and down the other, and the only thing I can see making sense is that these people are coming up with strings-of-words to justify their liking for Trump’s sticking it to the non-whites and the women, without admitting that _what they like is Trump’s sticking it to the non-whites and the women_. There just isn’t any way a person with an IQ over 80 could be praising Trump, unless it’s _for_ the hatemongering. Trump isn’t doing anything other than the hatemongering. Trump isn’t doing anything that could elicit praise, except from those who appreciate and applaud the hatemongering. ---

What they likely don’t know is that Trump has been stiffing American steel workers on his own construction projects for years, choosing to deprive untold millions of dollars from four key electoral swing states and instead directing it to China—the country whose trade practices have helped decimate the once-powerful industrial center of the United States. > > A Newsweek investigation has found that in at least two of Trump’s last three construction projects, T **rump opted to purchase his steel and aluminum from Chinese manufacturers rather than United States corporations based in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. In other instances, he abandoned steel altogether, instead choosing the far-less-expensive option of buying concrete from various companies,** including some linked to the Luchese and Genovese crime families. Trump has never been accused of engaging in any wrongdoing for his business dealings with those companies, but it’s true that the Mafia has long controlled much of the concrete industry in New York. ---
