> [@ckalli1998](#): > > So 63 million of your fellow Americans are idiots simply because they voted for Trump. You, sir, are a tremendously small-minded, foolish, vindictive, person. > > What a lovely piece of psycho-analysis. I’m not a child, I’m 19 years old, old enough to inform myself and know my own policy preferences and beliefs. You know, I felt like this too, when I grew up in South Jersey. I lived there from '78 through '95. I had watched Donald Trump in scandal after scandal, selling books, claiming bankruptcy (because he planted a stem-fund load of crap to more wealthy investors), refused to pay contractors stemming class-action lawsuits from basically every store owner along the AC Boardwalk back in 1991. All this before his interest in politics spawned. I felt dominant in thinking that Trumpy Wumpy was indeed someone who probably wasn’t even worth 10% of what he claimed as his total wealth, his history as a very poor businessman and real estate agent. How without any money, this man could not have made a profit from a hot-dog cart. And I feel the same way now, with even more of a list of examples I could never have imagined, proving this guy a) doesn’t care about me or you b) is not a smart man and c) never deserves my trust. You only like him because he’s rich, he’s funny, and he’s been on TV! If he was poor and unheard of, you wouldn’t remember how to spell his name, let alone vote for him. ---

If he was poor and unheard of, you wouldn’t remember how to spell his name, let alone vote for him. You have no evidence that Trump is much less rich than he claims, such as your assertion that he makes less than 10% of what he claims as his total wealth. Anyway, at least my cold has subsided for now. Damn, the snow hit New Jersey hard. ---

> [@ckalli1998](#): > > I did it myself, thank you. I took some Tylenol pills, although my nose is still partially clogged. Just looked out my window, the snow here in Jersey really piled up this morning. 1996, 36 inches in 24 hours, Cherry Hill, NJ. Jersey, NY, MA, PA, DE, MA, all closed to citizens traveling. You needed a siren on the roof of your car, or a plow attached to a decent truck to be on a road or highway. My relatives are referring to the current snow NJ is getting as “flurries”. ---

Damn, the snow hit New Jersey hard. As you have no evidence as he is as rich as he claims. Let’s say he is as rich as he says. Why does this make all his bullshit okay to say as a president? If he wasn’t rich, was still living in his parents’ house, didn’t have a degree or career in real estate, wasn’t on TV, but said the exact same things, like, “I’m a smart guy. I’m a very smart guy.” And “I know more than the generals do”, would. you vote for him? My point is, you’re a fan of Trumpy Wumpy. But certainly not because of his character. More like the story that he tells you. ---

If Trump were as you stipulate in your query, Trump would be posting insults on a message board, using a moniker composed of a misspelling of a Hindu deity’s name appended with a late 20th century year number. ---

> [@ckalli1998](#): > > I could literally hear the snow and sleet banging off my air conditioner. Literally? Is snow and sleet banging off air conditioners meaningful of something else? In case you don’t understand, “literally” is appropriate when an expression is actually physically taking place. “It’s literally raining cats and dogs” means cats and dogs are actually and physically falling out of the sky. Apparently Honors English wasn’t one of your classes.
