It's like Peter Thiel said, "Trump's critics don't take him seriously but they take him literally" ... 

So I'm either waiting for them to backtrack or let them wrap themselves in some more delusion LOL ... 

I don't care if their right or wrong either way since I'm in it for the laughs but seriously though the comparisons between Trump and Hitler are never ending (I remember the whole KKK and Trump dispute all too well for the comparisons between Trump and Hitler to NOT go away.) ...

Not expecting many of the likes of Michael Moore to eat their own words ... 

I am asking if you take Trump critics literally when they say stuff like "Trump is the new Hitler". Like, do you actually believe that they are dead serious about that?

Besides, I don't know of many Trump critics that are surprised about him flip-flopping. Did they use his ridiculous statements in rethoric to try and sway people away from voting for him? Yes. Does that mean they took him literally? I'm sure some of them did, but on the whole, no. Just like Trumps bullshit, that was rethoric. A way of speaking to convince people about something. Of course you are gonna latch on to dumb shit that your opponent says, even though you know he won't actually do it.

You are saying that Trumps critics took Trump literally when he said bullshit to try and succeed with getting elected, yet you are at the same time taking Trump critics literally when they use bullshit rethoric to paint a negative image of him.

I don't care what Trump's critics say when I'm in it for the laughs ... (My comedic viewing pleasure.)

You don't see Trump's critics not being surprised about him flip-flopping but we can't know the reality for sure since confirmation bias exists around us and you can only see the true perspective from the outside ... (It's easier to observe preconceived notions from the outside than from the inside.) 

You're inclined to believe that Trump's critics don't take him literally but all I see are protests with a bunch of angry signs that is a byproduct of the Hillary and MSM machine which are most likely responsible for entrenching them into that state ... 

Of course it could be that I'm just insane but I doubt that ... 

But the one thing we do know is that their still being played by Trump ...

Don't act surprised. You don't understand how fragile so many people are, who truly believe their lives are over and that "AmeriKKKA is going under the 4th Reich!" with absolutely 100% certainity and conviction.

Funny how I get banned and my threads locked because I construct full texts about George Soros, but if you love Hillary you can say whatever



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I realize that some people are, but I sincerely doubt that the majority of people that said stupid stuff like that meant it.

He was never putting her in jail anyway. If someone of her power can go to jail just over emails, likely all politicans over the course of 4-12 years would be able to be locked up for something or other and Trump knows that. He's already raising lots of issues like letting his daughter who's supposed to running his companies in a blind trust sit in on meetings with world leaders. 

Besides, he is friends with the Clintons anyway, anyone who thinks he's some "outsider" in the world of ultrarich/influential people is naive. He's part of the same club. 

The electorate doesn't seem to share the same view as you do (He's practically Ross Perot reincarnate only this time meaner and younger to shake the Republican Party.) ... 

And before his second presidential bid, his donations in politics amounted to less than 2 million ... 

Establishing a blind trust with Trump's assets is a dumb idea. He'd have to liquidate his business holdings which provides THOUSANDS OF JOBS. Not only does he have to liquidate his business assets but he'd have to accept massive losses when selling these assets through a buyer's market. It would discourage future entrepreneurs bid for presidency and that's a bad thing when washington has a very low amount of diversity when it comes to new ideas or issues ... 

Setting up a blind trust would mean Trump taking on tons of losses and in the end it really doesn't help in reducing potential conflicts of interests when Trump now becomes more beholden to bribes since he has fewer assets than before ... 

As counter-intuitive as it may seem, the more wealthy you are the less likely you are to corrupt the system ... 

Trump is more likely to bribe than to take bribes (I'd rather it this way than vice versa) ... 

Firstly, you do understand that "liquidation" doesn't mean that the assets are magically converted into cash, right? A REIT could take them off his hands quite easily, at value. We are also in a buyers market in NY, even though it defies traidional real estate principles: cap rates are currently exceeded by interest rates. Essentially, your belief in him taking losses is completely unfounded.

Secondly, the whole point of the blind trust is to ELIMINATE POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. It's not to REDUCE them: he works for the US citizenry; if he didn't want that, he should not have run for office. His Russian financial connections are significant and problematic, and he's not even in office yet.

Thirdly, statistics show that wealthier people are less moral and more likely to abuse wealth. There's a reason why so many "great" founders ended up in debt: commitment to the nation, not personal enrichment.

He's a pathological liar and a buffon. But in these days and age, that is the kind of politicians the world deserve, we only have ourselves to blame.

I dunno. Social media is really fueling the -ist/ism boogieman that's going to keep down all the minorities.

We haven't been conned at all.  The whole "lock her up!" thing was a nice thought and worked great at pumping up the Trump supporters during the campaign, but honestly the best punishment Trump could dole out to Hillary at this point is to just simply ignore her.  The Clintons can't stand being out of the spotlight and being ignored, as evidence by the fact that Hillary has now jumped on board the whole "recount" thing even though she knows she has less than a 0% of getting the results overturned, but hey, it's the only way she can get in the news these days.

Hillary is already a two time loser running for president, and now watching her and her supporters wallow in self pity and hypocritically challenge the election results after chastising Trump for assuming he would do the same after her "inevitable" election night victory is just the icing on the cake.
