Just like the right loves the KKK and Adolf Hitler.

 

But I think you may agree, not all left-wingers are the same, nor all right-wingers.

Therefore, I only take into account the opinion expressed by decent and intellectually honest people on both sides of the isle. Idiots' and brain-washed people's comments add no value to the conversation.

 

Just like your ungrammatical comment above.

 

KKK Democrats

Hitler National Socialist

 

You’re a school teacher, yes?

He's going to be a disaster for the USA, IMO. But that's evidently what the majority of the voters want. I'm very, very disappointed in his election. 

Yes, he will be a disaster for the ideology you promote, which will be great for working Americans.

First time he ran he was a narcist and only thought about himself.  Now he will give it to Vance? Is that because he is such a nice guy and thinks  Vance will do a better job? 

 

 

Not to mention the whole fascist-dictator-Hitler nonsense.

No, because Trump is just the useful idiot for his billionaire backers. I have no doubt who picked Vance and it wasn't Trump in my opinion. Also because Trump won't make it to 82 in a fit cognitive state.

Putin?

No, the old Republican party is gone. MAGA is the new Republican party.

 

Just look at the margins in the most recent election. 

 

With the redistricting that will come next year, CA and NY will each lose a few House seats and electoral votes, and TX and FL with pick up a few. 

 

No, per the left he's a blithering idiot. Harris is the genius. 

He said head about some things he liked, and things he doesn't like, but said that he interntioally did nto read it, because he want to be able to say he does not know about it. 

 

I think about 90% of it is great. 

"Trump is in good/great shape for his age".

So why does he refuse to produce his medical records? 215 pounds? My bottom!

Also his college grades are withheld. I wonder why.

Ha ha ha.

Why do you say he's lying? 

He (Trump) said he had no knowledge of it or the Heritage Foundation or the authors of the extreme right wing lunacy.

He did: ergo he lied. Again.

Ha ha ha.

A C student at best. 306lbs. minimum. Likely very poor health. Severe cognitive decline, evident by his speech. 

 

An actual quote:

 

Trump: I say, “What would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery’s now underwater and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?"

 

By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately. Do you notice that? A lot of shark — I watched some guys justifying it today. “Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were not hungry but they misunderstood who she was.” These people are crazy —

He said, “There’s no problem with sharks. They just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming now who really got decimated and other people, too.” A lot of shark attacks.

 

So I said, “So there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards. Or here. Do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking and water goes over the battery? The boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?” Because I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer. He said, “You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.”

1 - He's old, but not really. How old is he? 74? But he's still youthful and appeals to young generations. The proof is that he appeared on Joe Rogan podcast and Lex Fridman podcast. Joe Biden would never do that because he is old school. And Kamala who is much younger did not even do these types of podcasts. But Joe Rogan and Lex Fridman are the hipster podcasts of the day and Trump is a hipster, despite his age. 

 

2 - MAGA is its own separate party. Although technically he is running under the republican party, he created his own party in disguise. This guy is a genius. 

 

3 - He claims he knows nothing about Project 2025

 

Observations about Trump:

 

He’s sent 70 million Americans (Democrats) into a deep mental depression.  Its doubtful they can recover from such a thrashing

 

He sure has rattled 99% of the American Thaivisa members into levels of hatred that Thailand expats never ever experiencecd heretofore.

 

75 million Americans worship him & think he is God

 

He has the capability if revamping the Constitution to make himself reign forever like Putin.  Then they will join forces and make Russia a new US State.

 

Ukraine will house all Israelis from Israel.  The Land of Israel will become a giant soccer field for Olympics & FIFA

 

Cekebration party to be held Jan 8 in Kingston Town, my new visa run choice if I choose to stay longer

Powerful handshake.  Such handshakes are extinct in America in line with the extinction of Alpha Males.  Trump is the only surviving Alpha Male in America.  There are none in either Republicsn or Democrat parties.

 

Obama is a Beta Male, cannot compete against an Alpha

 

One wishes and hopes for a reversal of the feminized America Trend.  The values of America are nowadays feminine values.  This is one main reason why he got a lot of heat for years - but now women that are  men are disgusted that there are no MEN left.  They killed them all.  They are realizing they want and need Alpha Males - Nature says so!

So before he was Hitler reincarnate and totally in control now he is just a useful idiot, it never ends with you people.

My observations, he's a very old 79, his cognitive skills are in major decline, he will enact project 2025, and he will not follow up on a lot of his promises.

 

But I'm posting less and less on this forum about Trump, because his followers (now that he's been reelected) prefer to elevate him to the status of a saint, and a do-gooder, and prefer to forget about his lifetime of criminality, moral bankruptcy and malfeasance. 

 

There doesn't seem to be any room for criticism nor acknowledgment of who he truly is on this forum, amongst the majority. 

I love this <deleted>, when it was Biden in decline and it was obvious at the debate,  The dems called it a Republican's scare tactic, Now you the same argument  you accused the Republicans of against Trump, This is beyond a joke

Observations about Trump:

 

He is 78.  Is he shiwing signs of mental decline?  I don’t know YET.

 

He is overweight.  His diet was not good.  Niwadays?  Don’t know yet.

 

As an aside I personally never participated in teasing or minimizing Joe Biden.  Joe is a very decent fellow.  Damn shame to see him suffer at the hands of Donald.   Its a no contest thing.

 

I wish Joe all the best

No doubt he has above-average abilities, especially above the average Dem leaders' abilities. 

The question is: is he going to use those abilities for the good of the US?
All his life is testament of the fact that there is only one thing he cares about, and that's himself.

 

Only God knows what a convicted felon might be capable of, given his nearly unlimited powers (i.e. immunity, courtesy of SCOTUS), a cohort of loyal followers executing his orders, and an equally unlimited, immense care for himself only.

 

The name that comes to my mind is Hugo Chavez. A convicted felon himself, he turned Venezuela up-side-down. Unfortunately, not for the best.

 

 

I'm not an economist, but I think Venezuela was a one-trick pony. It's economy was probably mostly reliant on gas prices. These types of economies can collapse quite rapidly as there are no safeguards in place.

 

The US is the biggest AI/robotics tech innovators along with China. 

AI/Robotics will be the biggest industry. 

 

Project Stargate, world's biggest supercomputer, will be built at Mt Pleasant, Wisconsin or sth. 

 

Most of the world's biggest tech companies (Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia, OpenAI, Amazon, Facebook) are all based in the US.

 

Even if Trump was pure evil, he couldn't collapse the US economy if he tried.

 

The US will not fade away into oblivion any time soon economically.

 

Will Trump be a villain on the world stage?

Maybe, but I'm guessing his bad boy persona is just an act.

I wouldn't say his cognitive skills are in a major decline.  Far from it.  He has withstood 2 attempts on his life and recently some serious threats.  He has also stood up well to the rigors of a demanding campaign.

At 84, my friends remark on my mental agility, so by the signs of it I would say Trump is doing fine both mentally and physically. 

My favorable comments have nothing to do about whether I like the man or not. It just happens to be the truth.

 State of mind in severe decline? From your rants, I guess yours reached bottom years ago.

I think it's the opposite.

I think Trump is a mad genius, so much so that he doesn't need to pretend to be intelligent and he doesn't mind making a fool of himself.

What makes Trump a perfect lookalike of Hugo Chavez is greed.

 

Chavez died as the wealthiest man in Venezuela. A remarkable feat for the son of two modest schoolteachers, who spent his entire life working as a government employee (first in the military where he reached the rank Lieutenant colonel, and then as politician).

 

I am sure Trump will take any opportunity to enrich himself and his family. And whoever may object, mention a conflict of interest, will be branded as traitor or enemy of the people, in perfect 'Chavez-like style' (it is already happening).

 

I agree with you with regards to the resilience of the US economy, which is another order of magnitude compared to the Venezuelan one. And yet Trump can still inflict large and lasting damages.

 

Take the tariffs on Mexican made vehicles as an example. There are many companies, including American ones, that have invested billions in manufacturing facilities there. It usually takes years to recover these investments.

If punitive tariffs are introduced, these companies may have to write off those investments. Will they have the financial capability to invest in new manufacturing facilities in the USA? Will they do it, even if the tariffs are introduced without bipartisan support and may be reversed later on by a new administration?

 

Think about reversing the IRA and the green economy policies, replaced with a "drill, baby, drill".

 

One of the main assets of the USA, what makes the USA so uniquely attractive to investors, domestic and foreigners, is the relative stability of its legal, fiscal and regulatory environments, its predictability and long-term consistency.

 

Rocking the boat may not sink it, but it won't be smooth sailing either. And Americans will foot the bill. They won't be alone, but they will definitely pay a price.

 

To be fair it's not only Republicans who bear responsibility for this situation. Bipartisanism has been extinct in the United States for a while (and gerrymandering has played a role in killing it).

 

And then there si the political damage. Trump the First gave the impression of being ready to reverse the USA alliances at any time. Not only he disparaged America's allies. He disparaged the USA as well. I heard the sentence 'You think our country's so innocent?' repeated again and again, and not once by USA's friends.

Unfortunately, Trump the Second may kill whatever trust and goodwill toward the USA is left internationally, and my feeling is that the worse is yet to come.

So when talking about electric boats, he asked what would happen to the battery? 

 

What did Harris say when she was asked?
