Past presidents and the 2016 contest : Comments

By Ciaran Ryan, published 24/10/2016

Democrat John F Kennedy probably wouldn't care much about the allegations of Trump's sexual advances on women, but a man of his intellect would find him to be boorish and uncouth.

The only similarities between President John F Kennedy and D trump is they were/are biological males! After that, the comparisons couldn't be more stark!

Kennedy not only said, it is not what America can do for you, but rather what you can do for America!

And given he embodied that throughout his life, with heroism and uncommon valor during the second world war; but in public office staring down the Russians and their expansionist plans via a communist Cuba! Unambiguously underlining those stark and uncompromising differences in both word and deed!

A Putin admiring Trump on the other hand seems to embody everything JFK stood against, and would like be carpeted by the last real President, for his diabolically despicable business practices? As occurred to certain steel magnates, who were carpeted like naughty schoolboys before the head, for cartel like price fixing collusion!

The laws that enabled thrice bankrupt times two, Mr Trump to completely negate his federal tax obligations for the best part of two decades, ought to be changed to allow those avoided funds to be claimed in full, regardless of spousal transfers or offshore accounts etc/etc! And given my druthers, could cool his heels in solitary confinement until that were accomplished? Ditto uncooperative family members!

That said, I disagree With President Kennedy on one thing though! I believe a pig would more about Sunday than D trump would know instinctively about common courtesy and basic human decency? Or just good manners!

And probably would only be able to say one thing to this miserable excuse for a "man"; and that one thing would likely be, YOU'RE NOT FIRED, NO MISTER, YOU'RE DISHONORABLY DISCHARGED AND STRIPPED UNCEREMONIOUSLY, ON AMERICA'S FAVORITE TV CHANNELS, OF ALL REWARD AND PRIVILEGE, FOR CONDUCT UNBECOMING A MEMBER OF THE HUMAN RACE!

I am not sure that even Hillary could be worse than Obama, but there is enough chance, that anyone would be better than her. She has already sold the US out for a few million, & will probably destroy anything worthwhile that Obama has not.

Definitely she will organise billions to her mates, just as Obama has, & through them to herself.

I found it hard to take Trump seriously at first, & it is not much easier now, however I don't give a damn if he is the most "boorish and uncouth" man on earth, it is how he runs the country that would count.

There is a pretty fair chance we would strip the elites of much of their privilege, & easy access to taxpayer wealth. Hell he might even stop wasting so much money on academic dills & the global warming scam. Could this perhaps be your main reason for disliking the man?

If I'm not mistaken the next President of the US will be Nazi collaborator George Soros.
- Nixon would be reminding Clinton its not the crime it's the cover-up.

Sheesh Hasbeen, Trump is the model of the Robber Baron. The only people he'll "strip" of anything are those who can't fight back.

He's nearly as gutless as a couple of the anonymous posters on this site.

There was a time in the distant past when 'the people' would evaluate their leaders and potential leaders based on their policies and political record. Even today you'll see some poor deluded sole whimsically hope that elections could be based on policies and future prosperity.

But alas this isn't the case here.

HRC wants to open the US boarders and allow millions of future Democratic voters and welfare recipients to come in unvetted. But DT once said "pussy" so its clear who you should vote for.

DT wants to restore the USA's sovereignty by manning the boarders and re-establishing an orderly immigration system but HRC has a vagina so its clear who you should vote for.

HRC presided over one of the most disastrous periods in US foreign policy history but DT said nasty things about Mohammedans so its clear who you should vote for.

DT draws his support and seeks to help groups like those who suffered most from the GFC while HRC draws her support and seeks to help groups like those who caused and profited from the GFC so its clear who you should vote for.

The MSM who are part of the ruling elite that most benefits from the current power structures are determined to protect their and their supporters privileges, power and sources of wealth all of which are threatened by Trumpism. Hence the lack of concern and interest in the issues and the concentration on side issues that matter not in the grand scheme of things.

What previous presidents would have thought of the candidates is unknowable since they were from a different age with different problems and different challenges. Would JFK have been appalled by HRC calling a quarter of the US citizenry irredeemably deplorable or would he have been on the Lolita express with HRC's husband? Who knows. Who cares?

From the enemies Donald Trump has made - George W. Bush and his father, the Republican Party establishment, and all the neocons, it is pretty clear that that Americans should vote for him.

Hillary Clinton has killed more people - in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria - than any other woman in history. She was filmed laughing at the barbaric murder of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 and and was also filmed laughing at the prospect of starting a war with Iran.
