Other Factors: Why Many People Overlook Donald Trump’s Character, Lying, and Deception
Part of the reason is because he has a disgruntled niece who is a psychologist. You might be hacked off if you had a rich uncle who told your brother to let his disabled kid die. The precedent was set by Kenneth Starr's investigation of Bill Clinton, with a public shocked by lurid details of a private nature. Clinton wasn't the first President to have engaged in adulterous affairs ; FDR, JFK, Lyndon Johnson, all had affairs while in office. But the Starr investigation wasn't about a suddenly Puritan congress; utter rubbish, when you look at tneir personal biographies. It was a Partisan move to undermine a Presidency on the global stage. Before, to the outside world, American politics seemed free of extremes. The two parties both held similar positions, and nearly always, in international affairs, the oppostion party stood behind the presidency. Of course, at the domestic level, there was always key differences, but the International community doesn't care about American domestic politics. Since Starr, American politics has since degenerated, certainly in terms of Common Decency. And that's a finger pointed at both sides of the aisle. Of course the same happens in other countries. With Italian politics, we have long come to expect it, since Berlosconi. Brexit made Britain into a kitchen soap drama, and a laughing stock. French politics has seen Presidents actually slung in jail. Clinton's affairsl yes, conduct unbecoming of a gentleman, but essentially private. The language employed against George W Bush was outrageous. Barack Obama; politicians openly questioning if he was really an American. Biden; polticians calling him a paedophile. So the 47th President being called a sex pest/perv into all of that. Another speculative reason about why him? He's an actor. He has, over many years, created a TV persona that is an entire fiction (he was never an entrepreneur, dabbling in all different creative industries. He made his money in bricks and mortar, an industry based largely itself on fictions about how much a property is worth). He was never previously a public servant. The only time the general public knew about the real DJT was through one of his divorces. Ordinarily, affairs in the open ought to sink a politician, because it suggests dishonesty, disloyalty, carnal lust. Hence politicans like to keep a lid on these things. The public already knew about these things, so that's priced in to the vote (he can't be harmed if he was caught shagging the Press Secretary. Melania was looking a bit haggard at the Pope's funeral). In The Apprentice, he creates an impression of someone with a sharp eye for detail, who makes strong decisions (You're Fired), who is very focused and who is warm hearted. The real person hasn't been in the public eye for 30 years, and all the things we would normally know about a politician in a 30 year political career are playing catchup. He makes weak decisions, he flip flops, he doesn't stay focused and often he is mean spirited. Of course, there are comparisons to other actors turned politicians. Ronnie Reagan was probably under estimated, and likely misunderstood (he took a surprisingly liberal stance on some issues). Zelensky is probably under rated. He came into office as a former comedian, actor and director. If you look at his piano routine (playing a piano with his testicles), you would rightfully dismiss him as a political lightweight. But in the Ukrainian election, he had a runoff against essentially the Ukrainian Candy Oligarch. And they do say, cometh the hour, cometh the man. You dig a bit more into his background, and you find he is a trained lawyer (like Putin), so solid intellectual foundations for a Presidency. Sometimes, actors make pretty good impressions, on film, of the sort of politician or speech that you want to see or hear. Charlie Chaplins speech was entirely improvised -

Trump says US ships need free travel through the Panama and Suez Canals
Mexico has the greater claim; The United States has approximately 1,631 miles of coastline along the Gulf of Mexico, while Mexico has about 2,046 miles. With three other countries making up the rest! -

Do you have Health Care Power of Attorney?
not sure how it works, but can the hospital directly contact the company that drafted the Living Will for instructions? perhaps give this company a call to explain your situation. https://bewell.co.th/living-wills-q-a/ 2. How will a hospital know that an unconscious patient has a Living Will? Be Well Members are recommended to carry the Be Well membership card with them at all times. On the card we will add a special sticker stating that the patient has a Living Will and that the hospital should contact Be Well for details. -
