    All Trump has to do is to lift the ban on Medicare for working people. Then democratic party will be irrelevant.

    Those Ruskies are wascaly wabbits :roflol::deadhorse::roflol:
    I do not know where you obtained that information from but it is completely wrong. Governments have only been instituted for 50,000 years, and that was to allow the weaker to rule over the stronger. As I have stated and it is known, government is only meant to harm, not help. It harms the many and only benefits or helps the few, which is what takes place, look at what is taking place in these United States and the amount of harm that emanates from governments. Industries, living wages? As though people did nothing for themselves in the absence of government. Governments main objective and goal is to seek its own survival and if that means manipulations, arm-twisting, spreading fear among the populous through one of its entities, it will do it. Why do you think that media is called "The fourth Estate" in these United States? It is called this because it helps disseminate fear, which causes chemical imbalance within the human body; via the endocrine glands: Endocrine glands are glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood rather than through a duct. The major glands of the endocrine system include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus and adrenal glands. Endorphin and [any of a group of hormones secreted within the brain and nervous system and having a number of physiological functions. They are peptides that activate the body's opiate receptors, causing an analgesic effect.] and dopamine [a compound present in the body as a neurotransmitter and a precursor of other substances including epinephrine.] So as you can see from my standpoint, no government outside of self-governance does anyone any good. Is thee any wonder why opiods are so popular? What about marijuana, cocaine, heroin, etc? People are seeking to end fear and the pains that are associated with it. The simple solution is to TURN OFF THE TELEVISION, AS WELL AS OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS. Fear, pleasure and pain. Greek prose: Comedy and tragedy. "I want to go home, take off this uniform and leave the SHOW." To cite a Pink Floyd song.

    Trusting Trump can only be done if you purposefully shield yourself from any information about his past chronic dishonesty, up to and including yesterday.

    Trusting Donald J. Trump is like trusting anyone else, either you do or you do not. I trust Trump to be who he is and that is the cusp of the discussion.

    Trusting somebody to be "who they are" is not the same as being able to trust them. Trusting a person is a question of honesty, a question of whether you can believe what they tell you. With Trump that is simply impossible because of his track record of chronic dishonesty.

    He has been doing what he said he would do so far. I'm still in a "wait and see" mode, but I'm glad we elected him instead of Hillary.

    Why are you quoting a statement from Brendan Reilly, a statement that was rated "mostly false" by Politifact?

    And what the quote or this thread have to do with the discussion of whether Healthcare is something that should be supplied by the U.S. government? Seriously, your posts read like that of a sock puppet from a foreign government.

    Having someone who gets nothing done that adversely affects me over someone who would have implemented policies that do adversely affect me make him tolerable enough. I can largely ignore him now. I voted for Jill though. She had warrants for spray paining a bulldozer. #ThugLife

    The thread is about how and why you trust him, not why he is tolerable. But I appreciate the input.

    Then why did you create a poll with two distrust options, one of which was "I distrust other groups" option since that is precisely what my response goes to?

    If that's your reason for trusting Trump, then you can select that option. Your post did not appear to reference my question and instead pontificated on why you are glad that Hillary did not win the election.

    My post was made after I selected that option and went to the root of that response--distrust of others. Seemed pretty self-evident to me. I considered Donald, but couldn't pull the trigger on him. If you were really really bored you could go through by 15 billion posts and see that My only real concern with him was that he was floating the names of some sketchy people he wanted working with him, and here we are today, flooded with stories and controversies about the sketchy people he has working for him. I am psychic like that.

    What you say is correct, just as what I have stated is correct. Trusting a person is trusting said to the extent of what your expectations, based in reality, to the limitations of that persons ability to fulfill the purpose(s) and cause of the same persons. I do not mean to appear as evasive but this is the best manner I am able to address your questioning. As I have stated earlier, Donald J. Trump is who Donald J. Trump is and nothing more. To expect him to conform to another person's ideology of him is nothing more than unrealistic expectation(s).

    Here is a logical question, these actors and actresses have roles in these horror movies, how can they believe in something that they know is fake? It is the same with politicians politics, the politicians know that it is all power-playing, posturing and illusion, yet many of them pretend to believe in such. What a world of deceit we all live in. This should satisfy Junkietrutle. This is what I am saying (The words posted before this. I trust people to the extent of them being who they are in the capacity of their duties. This is not saying that I expect them to be one hundred percent (100%) upright and forth coming, for that would be delusional. I trust cops to be cops, firemen to be firemen, nurses to be nurses, judges to be judges, politicians to be politicians, the person in the seat next to me on the train to be a passenger, etc. This does not mean that I have confidence in them or not, when time of reactive response comes to the forefront, they will be who they are. Circumstances and time brings out the true identity of a person according to their disposition(s).
