You know, I would pay good money to watch a PPV event with Trump and Tillerson taking an IQ test and scoring it live. That would be wonderful.

Mr. Trump, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

With a pointed glance at the audience, one eyebrow raised (as only Alex can do). Hehe.

Agree 100%. If you couldn’t figure out what he was before he was elected… here’s your sign - “Idiot”.

Corollary: If after all this you \*still \*can’t articulate why you hate Hillary to the point that you preferred a human skidmark as President, here’s another sign. Now shut up and go away, please.

So you voted for the worst possible choice, out of some fucked up personal spite?

Thanks to people like YOU, we have a dangerous out of control idiot in the White House, with his little fingers on the nuclear football. Thanks to people like YOU, we have a virtually nonfunctional, and very definitely DISfunctional government.

YOU elected him.

Actually, **aldi** is Australian.

Unless this is some of the illegal voting Trump goes on about. 😉

But he never concealed it. he’s consistently been exactly this way since at LEAST the 1970’s.

There’s a reason so many of us from the NY/NJ area have such a deep and abiding disregard and disrespect for him, and it goes WAY back.

OK, my mistake. But my sentiment 9and my opinion of that kind of person) is still the same.

People like him elected this shit stain SCROTUS. Out of spite.

I, for one, would like to see a clear and accurate recital of what Ms. Clinton did or did not do for a voter to intentionally vote for the obvious disaster instead. Without that explanation, all the “trumpggretting” is pure BS and the next election will be no different.

Exactly. Even if he’s through with Trump, anybody stupid enough to vote for Trump in 2016 is more than likely to vote for Louie Gohmert or Roy Moore in 2020.

Exactly. I’m from Illinois originally, but grew up near Atlantic City in the '80s and '90s. From that time period we learned:

- He’s a business fraud. He tricks investors and claims bankruptcy.
- He called for the execution of young black teens for gang raping a girl (they were innocent)
- He has a HUGE history of lawsuits with contractors, unions, business owners in AC
- He branded vastly different products from vodka to steaks, none are/were financially successful.
- He doesn’t read, doesn’t write books, but he claims to have a University
- He does not give anything to charity
- He doesn’t pay income taxes

This kind of resume does not even equal something like, “Let’s nominate this guy as employee of the month”, let alone nominating him for public office. A job that SERVES THE PUBLIC. Protects the public, gives confidence to the public and loves the public.

If I told a story about another man with the same qualities above, and said **he’s a very poor man** , would anyone like that guy? No. It’s the whole “he’s rich, so he’s smart” fallacy that got DT any notice in the first place. Do you really think if DT grew up like the rest of us, went to public school, would he even have a friend? Be picked for a dodgeball team? Win a school election?

If someone can please point to just the few examples I posted above to justify voting for this guy to be anything other than investigated and prosecuted, I’d be quite grateful.

Same reason he won’t make his tax returns public: The result would be far smaller than he’s bragged about.

Agreed. But here is something I don’t understand. Over the last year, I have met (sadly, in person) a few people from countries with functioning social welfare networks, no pretense at not being a unitary state, less injustice for its minorities, better education system and policies, and less isolationist than the US. Yet these people I’ve met are full-on Trump supporters. Are they blind? Is there some reason they hate their own country and present that hatred as love for America’s buffoon?

You’re clearly not talking about Australia, which still hasn’t granted gay marriage and is even having a bloody electoral battle over it.
