Trump the most unpopular new president for 40 years

That's your opinion, I personal,y think he's great. I thought Obama was a piece of ****

Great comment.

I am sure there is some morality in which your opinion is "correct", but that is not one most people will objectively see as a good morality.

That's your opinion, I personal,y think he's great. I thought Obama was a piece of ****

Why do you think Obama is/was a piece of ****? Is that how you judge people?

The guy I was responding to said Trump was a piece of ****, but you ain't complaining about him

Stop quoting me bro

I have no doubts he'll be authoritarian, but I suspect the alt-right will be sidelined and only used insofar as Trump has a use for them. Trump isn't a true believer and never has been - it's just his path to power and attention. As has been pointed out (apologies, it's a subscription site, but I do actually know the author, so I feel obliged to credit his idea) Trump's rise in many ways parallels that of Milosevic. The nationalist populism is all just a tool to win power, to be disposed of as soon as it becomes unhelpful.

Trump's more extreme proposals will be quietly retired (we're already seeing that with some, like the wall) or switched for something essentially different, but which Trump's PR team will maintain is just some minor changes. The only exceptions will be those where he moves too fast early on and paints himself too far into a corner (his policy on Israel is looking a bit this way, as Friedman will likely be confirmed as ambassador). A substantial chunk of his supporters won't care, of course. As with nationalism in general, people aren't attracted to Trump by any particular policy, but by the more generalised "feel" or worldview he's implying. And some are much more interested in feeling edgy and thinking that Trump is "triggering" people by saying things than they are about the things he's saying actually being enacted - it's just the idea they like.




Yup. As another poster (think it was nulli tertius, but not 100% sure) pointed out on a past thread, Trump hasn't yet made the intellectual jump from being a candidate to being President (because it's his only schtick). When you're a candidate and have no power, the choice of when you give media appearances and press conferences, and who you give them to, is a tactical choice and nothing more than that. When you're president and have very real power, you are are expected to show a certain level of transparency and accountability. Trump and his core supporters still act like he's a candidate, and are most likely never going to process that Trump now is "The Man", to put it simply.

Why do you think Obama is/was a piece of ****? Is that how you judge people?

Trump's gonna build that wall
Trump's gonna build it tall
Trump's gonna deport them all

And before the Fall,
He'll finish ISIS once and for all
America's gonna get very far
No terrorists shouting Allahu snackbar

Big man Trump, grabs em by the c**t
He's gonna go on a big hunt
To drain the ****ing swamp

Big man Trump, hes not gonna wait
He's got a task to hand in before it's too late
To make America great

AGAIN!

I think "piece of #### " best describes obama because he was ashamed of his country, married a woman who said in an interview she hated the flag. He was nothing more than a 60's radical who fell through the cracks and got elected.

well done, you've turned this into a cringe thread

Not surprising. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge his overwhelming unpopularity probably believes in his 'alternative facts' nonsense.

Strong points there.

I could go on.

I guess I didn't make my self clear. I DO acknowledge his unpopularity and it's the source of that unpopularity which offers confirmation that America made the right choice.It's from the far left. The weeping and gnashing of teeth can still be heard. They wander the streets of Hollywood covered in ash and sackcloth seeking solace in a new cause. They shout lamentations to their God but he can't hear them. He's in Palm Beach.

It's Bill Clinton.

Didn't you know Hillary's husband Bill was president from 1993-2001? (and an excellent president too)

They wouldn't become any better.



No, it's not. It's decent human beings appalled at the monstrosity that is Trump. Do you think the majority of the country is really far left? Only 40% approval rate, is 60% really "far left"? Oh dear you old con, you are getting tired.
