Donald Trump's Ego Is Going to Further Polarize American Politics

Oh please.. NOBODY ever made Trump shut up.. He's free to slander women, grab p*ssy, and sue his accusers.

 

Yep and Hillary and the Left-Allied Mainstream Media are free to make up all the lies in the world about him. Is this a beautiful country or what?

 

Well you certainly fell for the Clinton machine propaganda to distract from actual issues. She needs people like you.

 

racist coming out of the closet and articulating their disgusting prejudices due to the fact that there is a black president certainly is polarizing but not something u can blame on obama, thats just rediculous

 

Obama is a professional race agitator and race baitor. Before he became president there were no longer any meaningful racial issues in this nation and Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton were just on the trembling edge of having to go find honest ways to earn a living; and then Obama entered the Oval Office and he started with the Beer Summit and false racial accusations and then things went downhill from there. Obama and the Left ARE TRYING to kick off race wars. The racists in this nation are on the Left.

 

Don't you think using the race card anytime someone disagrees with Obama's policies is just as ridiculous?

 

You give Trump way too much credit - Hilary is no consensus-builder, either. However, polarization was already extant before both. The loudest voices come from those furthest apart, while Reason is shouted down by epithets tossed to and fro in the media - on those rare occasions when it appears.

 

good one

 

Oy vey! What an alternative reality you live in!

 

As if Mr. Trump has a single halfway honest bone in his entire overfed body! He's an utter charlatan, for heaven's sake. Well, and that you care more about this e-mail nonsense than you do about Mr. Trump's narcissistic personality disorder, his insensitivity, his sexism, his racism, his bias in favor of his fellow capitalists (which, for instance, has him proposing massive tax cuts for the superrich!), says a great deal about your priorities and mentality.

 

The liberal who lamely "plays the race card" "anytime someone disagrees with Obama's policies" is just a stereotype and straw man that only exists in the minds of rightists.

 

Are you just playing the troll here, or are you actually a bit moronic?

 

Pssst . . . look in a mirror lately?

 

Trump is not an establishment candidate. You misunderstand what the term means. Economists hate him, businesspeople hate him, bankers sure as (*)(*)(*)(*) hate him, the international community hates him, literally all academics hate him, globalists and TPPers hate him. Journalists and the press would rather have Bush II rammed up their collective urethra than have Trump. That might make him an illiterate buffoon, but it puts him about as far from the establishment as it is possible to go.

His legacy is dependent on this election. If he loses he will be seen as the media has painted him, if he wins, just like Brexit, he will be seen for what he actually is.

I don't think it's reasonable to rule out a challenge to the legitimacy of an election, because then if there actually is fraud or some sort of complication he's thrown away his only recourse. It's not like we have to go back many elections to find such an instance.

 

After watching the vid on the closed thread I reckon it's a case of 'Cometh the hour, cometh the man!'

 

Sure thing Skippy.

 

Actually, the idea of an authoritarian, autocratic businessman like The Donald elected by working-class voters to fill the highest office of our (alleged) democratic polity is indeed quite paradoxical, quite bizarre. Come now, dear John and Jane Q. Deplorable, doesn’t your conscience ever even softly whisper: “Hey, this guy is a sexist, a racist, and a capitalist, therefore making him president would potentially be a very bad thing for women, for people of color, for workingpeople like me, and for our society”? Well, I would certainly hope that this is what your still small voice is saying, and that you finally listen to it when you cast your ballot on election day.

 

Back atcha dippy.

 

Thankfully, People are smarter than the ARNJ Fever Swamp thinks.

Hillary is headed for a landslide victory. Already a Done Deal.

 

I know, you dear deplorables are simply going to continue to explain Mr. Trump’s bad press as evidence of the media’s bias, but if we apply Occam’s razor this just won’t do, as there’s a much simpler and more obvious explanation. That is, Mr. Trump is in fact receiving a good deal of bad press because he’s quite egregiously a bad man. Well, it’s quite arguable that openly being a narcissist, a sexist, a racist, and an insensitive character given to put downs and sexual harassment all does indeed make him a bad, or at least a seriously unsavory person. Of course the media is treating him to quite a bit of negative coverage, because he’s all about negativity, i.e. villainizing immigrants and Muslims, promoting racism, promoting the hatred of Mrs. Clinton, expressing an ugly sexist mentality, mocking the disabled, etc. Well, yes, just as you should think horses and not zebras when you hear hoofbeats, when an individual with an especially unlovely, offensive, reprehensible personality enters politics and the reportage on his campaign focuses critically on his personality, one should think unlovely, offensive, reprehensible personality, not biased news media. In short, get real, Trumpites and alt-rightists, your guy has a grossly unbeautiful mentality, that’s the main reason why the unfunny comedic reality show called his presidential campaign is receiving such bad reviews, not the fourth estate’s alleged “liberal bias”. (And, btw, this also holds true for other right-wing politicians and policies, they’re responded to negatively by the media not because of a “liberal bias”, but quite simply because they’re uncompassionate, benighted, bigoted, and pernicious.)

 

Idiocracy at work.

 

Actually, we know a significant thing or two about The Donald. For instance, that he has an unkind, actually a downright cruel nature, which makes it highly unlikely that he would be a compassionate tribune of the working man and woman if elected. We also know that he's an unsavory sexist and racist, ergo certainly not someone who can be trusted to be an upholder of the civil rights of women and minorities. We also know that he has the kind of aggressive alpha male mentality that will lead to the U.S. perpetrating more military violence against innocent human beings overseas. Furthermore, it's quite obvious that his egomaniacal psychological streak (which seems to constitute most of his personality) makes him seriously unsafe to trust with the powers of the presidency. And, last but not least, we know that he's a member of the capitalist elite, whose policies (such as the tax cut that he's proposing) will benefit his fellow fat cats at the expense of working-class tax payers. In short, what we know of Mr. Trump is that, as indicated by his frequent and unabashed expressions of his mentality, he's stinkingly capitalist, sexist, racist, narcissistic, insensitive and uncompassionate, and psychologically capable of suborning the government to use it as a vehicle for his own self-aggrandizement, for stoking his own quite delusional sense of grandiosity; because, after all, his own alleged greatness, not the greatness of America, is the only greatness that his psychopathic ego is genuinely interested in. And where, pray tell, do you think we're gonna be after eight years of that?! Sunk and drowned in, not merely a good deal farther up you know what creek without a paddle, that's where.

 

A lot of that is bunk opinion but one thing is certain, Hillary's stand on war is pro-war and she is courting disaster against the advice of both the WH and top generals. Trump on the other hand is non-interventionist.

Hillary represents the global elite with a global viewpoint which is definitely not for the working man.

Which would you rather have, a loudmouth that tells you what he thinks or a scheming politician that tells you one thing and says something different in private?

 

I see, you have a nationalistic/xenophobic mentality that's characterized more by a benighted aversion to globalism, to the integration of humanity, than by an enlightened abhorrence of elitism, of a capitalist power structure in which a ruling class monopolizes economic wealth and economico-political power leaving the rest of us disenfranchised and immiserated to one degree or another.

If the mentality being insensitively expressed by a loudmouth is characterized by sexism, xenophobia, racism, anti-socialism, and narcissism, if his ego is merely scheming to achieve greater levels of self-aggrandizement by becoming president, well, then I certainly don't wish to elect him to the proverbial office of dog catcher, let alone the highest office in the land. (And, btw, he's not really that much of a straight-talker, not a paragon of morally courageous bluntness at all, he's actually given to making extremely vague statements that give him plenty of wiggle room when he's criticized.)

To really nutshell it, Mr. Trump’s mentality, and the conservative mentality in general, isn’t terribly nice or advanced, it’s often downright hateful and backward, this is why a great many kindhearted and progressive folks, some of whom work in the media, don’t love it, and sometimes even hate it. But, let me clarify, in keeping with the dictum to hate the sin but not the sinner, we hate the rightist mentality, not the bearer of it.

 

I do find it funny that the so called 'advanced' are for more central control by elitists that believe they know better than you of what you need. Problem is these elitists are so out of touch with reality and pushing for regressive policies of authoritarianism that they deem 'progressive' they never see their own unintended consequences, but then, with such large egos what would you expect?
