I just provided two links it might be helpful to do a web search asking the correct questions such as "Donald Trump's history of defrauding contractors". Or "how much profit did Donald Trump make from Trump University without giving anything in return?

That might be the little surprise but the big surprise is that the man that they think they elected is not that man at all. Remember? He promised to cut the deficit. He added $8T. He promised to build a wall. He only did 458 miles out of 2,000. Most of it was repair or replacement, not new. He promised to make Mexico pay. They didn't. We did. He promised to unveil a new healthcare plan. It didn't exist. He promised a middle-class tax cut. He cut taxes for the rich. The middle class is paying for it. He said he wouldn't play golf as President. He made 250 visits (way more than Obama) to his own golf clubs. It cost taxpayers $150 million. He said he'd increase economic growth by 4%. Nope. Biden did. He promised an infrastructure plan. He had none. President Biden signed a massive one. He promised to hire "the best people." He fired 3/4 of them and then said they were the worst ever, and they said HE was in fact the worst ever. He promised to bring down the price of prescription drugs. He didn't: Biden did. He promised a Hillary lock-up. Nope. Promised we'd win the trade war with China. Nope, It cost about 250,000 jobs and hurt Americans, not helped them, and it may have started a massive inflationary trend that led to years of inflation recently. He promised his corporate tax cuts would help and benefit workers, and corporations would use that money to invest in American workers. They didn't, they used that money to buy back stocks. He promised to revive the coal industry. Never happened: more coal jobs were lost during his presidency. I could go on and on all day long about the failures of his presidency.

People easily forget. He promised to cut the deficit. He added $8T. He promised to build a wall. He only did 458 miles out of 2,000. Most of it was repair or replacement, not new. He promised to make Mexico pay. They didn't. We did. He promised to unveil a new healthcare plan. It didn't exist. He promised a middle-class tax cut. He cut taxes for the rich. The middle class is paying for it. He said he wouldn't play golf as President. He made 250 visits (way more than Obama) to his own golf clubs. It cost taxpayers $150 million.

The information is out there for anyone interested in finding out who the real Donald Trump is. Using rape-and-pillage corporate practices favored by Wall Street, Donald Trump made himself billions while swindling and bankrupting untold numbers of hourly workers and small businesses. The terrible tale of Trump casinos in Atlantic City illustrates his relationship with money, workers and small business. His casino companies went to bankruptcy court four times. Tradesmen, small businesses and creditors weren’t paid. But Trump made out like a bandit. And he’s mighty proud of it. https://m.usw.org/blog/2016/billionaire-trump-fleeces-workers-small-businesses Of all the troubling accusations that have followed Trump into the White House, there is little talk these days of the trail of unpaid bills he left behind from his days as an Atlantic City casino mogul. But for the carpenters, electricians, plumbers, window installers and other contractors who built Trump’s Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City three decades ago, the wounds from not being paid still fester. “It’s terrible,” said Jenkins, who runs Triad Building Specialties. “I can’t stand Trump. I think he’s nothing but a snake oil salesman.” I do too. Always have, always will. As I said before you can dress up a creep and a criminal in royal garments, but he is still a creep and a criminal. https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/columnists/mike-kelly/2020/01/24/donald-trump-still-owes-money-to-contractors-who-built-taj-mahal-atlantic-city/4547037002/ I could go on and on all day, it's all out there for anyone who cares to look and embrace a little bit of objectivity in their life. Historical revisionism has no effect on reality nor history. In fact it's rather dangerous.

What a completely ridiculous, unnecessary, and unhelpful reply. Perhaps you can try harder next time. In the past two years since this election cycle does it feel like this forum is getting dumbed down with more venom, or is it just my perception?

There you go again, it's just this blatant denial that Trump is a fraudster, or a criminal, or a felon, or a serial sexual assaulter, or has engaged in corporate malfeasance for decades. All of this is on the record and yet somehow a percentage of his followers feel that if they admit the truth it somehow takes something away from them, and their decision to support him. I'm a Centrist Democrat and I'm constantly criticizing Democrats. I don't know why Trump supporters are so reluctant to criticize him, it's almost as if it shows a lack of fealty to the master.

I have a lot of friends and I've had a lot of friends all over the world in my travels, and when I've lived elsewhere overseas. That has not been the case in Thailand. Other than men who have had the ability to meet Thai men at an University or professional setting overseas, or and unusual situation like that, I know very few foreign men here who have good Thai male friends. It is cultural it's not me. And it's my belief that in addition to the language barrier it's also due to a stunning lack of curiosity about us, and about the outside world.

Very good points, and a lot of mongers come to Thailand and they don't realize that the women that they're interacting with commercially represent maybe one or two percent of the population. The other 98% are civilians and they do not appreciate being harassed or being touched by strangers, it's a pretty offensive crime. I always encourage all women to carry a very sharp pencil in their purse, a tremendous amount of damage can be accomplished with that and it's something that the perpetrator will never forget for the rest of his lifetime.

His followers are always asking for a link, all this information is out there for anyone to find, it's all over the internet, his lifetime of crime, his thousands of fraudulent transactions, the billions of dollars that he stole from unsuspecting contractors. It's all out there, it's all online. You know you can dress a pig up in royal garments, but it's still a pig.

One can make an argument that any relationship anywhere on the world is about the money, the vast majority of women on this planet want financial security, and there's nothing wrong with that. Here they're just a lot more open about it.

This man committed several heinous errors, first of all dowries are not paid long in advance they're paid just prior to the wedding, second of all if you stand a chance of a successful relationship here especially with somebody 36 years your junior you need to take a lot of time to get to know them. 2 to 5 years maybe, if it's good it's only going to get better, if there are problems are going to manifest themselves over time. I don't know why guys are so consistently impatient. I know a lot of times the women push the timeline and as men we need to push back. No, that's not happening! We're waiting. I need to get to know you some more, you don't like that, no problem I'm very happy to walk away, it's that simple. Desperados tend to lose their money, men with high self-esteem don't tend to fall into that trap.

I have been to Panama, but never lived there. It is quite modern, the countryside is gorgeous, the food is good, and there are alot of beautiful women, who are open and receptive. But, bear in mind the place is quite expensive. A free place to stay is nice. Might be worth going there for a month, and seeing how you like it. It is a different world from Thailand. Likely alot more culture. Also close to Colombia, the US, and other spots in South America, which would be a real plus for me. Plus, far easier to learn Spanish than Thai. One of the other upsides for me would be the ability to establish friendships with local men, it's nearly impossible here in Thailand to establish any kind of meaningful friendship with a Thai man. They're just not interested and their lack of curiosity is off the charts. Not so in Latin America.

A voice of reason in the wilderness of toxic male delusion.

Darwin was right. The theory of natural selection, means we all have to exhibit certain survival skills, to thrive in this world. Self protection is just one of those skills. Some have it, some do not. Some people do not do well when drunk. Those who don't, those who continue to commit acts of utter foolishness when drunk need to have enough self awareness to take great care. Alcohol can be very dangerous. On so many levels. So can idiocy and recklessness. Especially when combined with alcohol.

The solution is for these gals is to devote the next few years of their lives to hunting down the creeps, and making their life a living hell. What ever it takes. He very creative. This sort of harassment and bullying should not be tolerated by society, and the consequences for the bully must be swift, severe and unforgettably horrific. Biblical revenge!
