When he starts building, don't things get built? And because Trump is not handicapped by having to be PC, he can be honest and blunt with other leaders. <br /><br />Putin understands the biggest threats to Russia are 1) the chickenhawk neo-cons in the current Administration, who are still trying to fight non-existent communist threats and are willing to risk WWIII to do it, and 2) Islam. Like Peter the Great 350 years ago, he is trying to get the West to realize who the real enemy is. And, just as we did 350 years ago, we are ignoring him.<br /><br />Trump will be able to talk to Putin, who has nothing but contempt for Obama. Trump knows we have nothing to fear from Russia. Trump will put the EU blowhards in their place. He will tell the Chinese mercantilists that the game is over, and that managed trade is not free trade. And he'll end the US's incessant meddling in MENA, which alone will improve the West's relationship with Islam.<br /><br />It makes me laugh when people like you, Clarey, feel justified in assessing Trump as stupid, unintelligent, etc. What have you accomplished? A small blog, a few (mostly unread) books, podcasts with no reach? I'd much rather see Trump in the White House than you.

As a millenial, I approach my vote for this election the same way I do with my investments; I'll take my chances on Trump and all the risks associated with him, because I can afford to, in exchange for at least some glimmer of hope he can actually slow the decline. Trump at the very worst is an unknown evil; with Hillary, she is a known evil so the choice is clear.Garynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-26132548017347123142016-06-13T16:28:56.240-07:002016-06-13T16:28:56.240-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Just another blogging site.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13968563075734047948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-86543212674861235692016-06-12T06:10:17.240-07:002016-06-12T06:10:17.240-07:00I'm in my mid 50's, and have a question - ...I'm in my mid 50's, and have a question - where was all the outrage when McCain and Romney were selected?

That is a good sign in that he threatens all of them. He in turn is in grave danger as is his family. Seriously....From the cartels to those utterly corrupt individuals such as the Clintons and obamas, they cannot afford to have an upstart in the Rainbow House...uh...White House. Almost any candidate who has never served as President of the U.S. is a gamble with one exception. Killery Clinton. Our country is one big mess right now. Bickering over who would make for a great U.S. President is a no brainer in my opinion. Yes, I've had my doubts with Trump.

He also believes in Western culture, and wants to preserve and protect same. Those two items are the primary reason for all the wailing and gnashing of teeth by the Elite across the West, and in Asia as well.<br /><br />Furthermore, he has a decent understanding of the corruption in US government at ALL levels. Now he will have a difficult time dealing properly with that, due to the corruption in the "Legal" system. But an intelligent choice for AG can work around much of that. And "Law Enforcement" will do as they're told, as long as that paycheck keeps comin' in and as long as he does not go after anyone in the Blue Wall.<br /><br />One term, or even two, will not be enough to cure the nation's ills. It will, however, be a chance to put a severe crimp in the rush to One World Government that is so popular with the Elite from BOTH parties.

FDR took control of major economic sectors during world war II and the depression, while also throwing japanese-americans into internment camps. But FDR is a liberal champion, so those actions get ignored. <br /><br />Equating Trump or any american president with fascism is asinine, and I wish people would stop. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
