Trump stumbles from one disaster to the next

I strongly supported Trump partly in order because I did not want the vile Hillary to become President. I do not regret doing so. He can always be impeached, or forced to resign, or failing that, be overthrown via a military coup, so it is far from the end of the world if his presidency results in unmitigated failure.

You are happy to strongly support a president who you are fine with being impeached or overthrown by a military coup (mind you, we are talking about America) just so that "vile Hillary" would not become president?.

Yep.

I'd add, on this excellent point, this is something I find extremely concerning. Large swathes of the new alt-right movement are extremely unpatriotic, indeed they basically hate the West and love Russia. They completely buy into the Chomskyite / Corbynite mindset. It's just that they come at it from a different angle.

The hard left loves Putin because he is basically the inheritor of the proprietary love the bore the Soviet Union, and because they view Russia as the main opposition to the evil "imperialist" West. The alt-right loves Russia because they correctly view him as being an exemplar of the fascist Traditionalism movement, as a reaction against modernity and reason (Bannon's political hero, Julius Evola, felt that society started going downhill when we abandoned the geocentric model of cosmology).

All these years, I took it for granted that much of the left held nutty foreign policy views. But whilst there was a sane minority faction in the left along with a staunch pro-patriotic conservative right (even though I disagreed with them on economic policy), we were able to maintain a sensible, robust foreign policy. With the rise of the alt-right, and their moral relativism as against the West and Russia, the whole basis for a sane foreign policy comes under threat.

The difference between Trump and Clinton is that if she had been in charge most of these people would have had sudden seizures/heart attacks/car accidents/suicides and numerous other unexplained deaths.

So if phoning up the Kremlin to give his condolences over the DEATHS OF 92 CIVILIANS makes him a spy then he should be put on Joseph McCarthy's blacklist.

I agree that Trumps presidency has been an utter shambles and I hope he enjoyed watching Finding Dory (reminder son barron is in NYC) whilst airports were in chaos over his travel ban.

His supporters in Trump World don't seem to care. To the people that voted for him he is doing just fine. It's terrifying that even as he dismantles the infrastructure that keeps his voters alive they just keep cheering.

Just have a go at Clinton and see how long you last. You could be number 34!

Most of the US knows CNN as the Crooked News Network for good reason.
