By Alon Ben-Meir, published 29/12/2017

As we approach the end of Trump's first year in office, it seems appropriate to survey his performance and his outlook for the future.

That commentator can't be too astute Foxy or he would have realised there were not enough morons in America to elect Hillary.

I can't understand why females support Rape Culture; all the Leftie industries such as fake News, Hollywood, Unis Arts Departments and SJWs. Only Libertarian or Conservative people are safe to be around, people are individuals not something to be used and disposed of (often as Kleenex by "caring" types).

Whenever someone like FOXY provides a quote without links or even a name, you can take it to the bank that they're hiding something.

It turns out that Foxy's " astute American commentator" is some bloke (Bill James) who blogs about baseball statistics. Now he might be astute about the batting averages of the various MVP hopefuls, but about politics...not so much.

What's next, the 'astute' observations of some astrologer? "Trump can't win because Aquarius is in a waning phase".

But this is a good learning moment. Why does Foxy think this guy's astute? Well because she agrees with him and he says things she wants to be true. The thinking goes..I'm smart and he agrees with me, therefore he's smart.

Those people over there don't agree with me (or him) therefore they're morons. People like Foxy assert they have tolerance for other views but in fact are utterly intolerant of what they see as dissent from the only truth.

Its these attitudes that gave the US candidate Trump. Enough of those who the 'elite' thought of a morons and deplorables had finally had enough of being told they should just shut up because they didn't understand. Lost your job and your town gutted because of the war on coal? Tough luck. But its being done for your own good - you're just too moronic to understand. So shut up, vote the way we tell you and we might give you a bit more welfare payments.

Well, enough got sick of being told it was tough luck that their lives had to be sacrificed to what the elites asserted was the greater good. Enough got sick of being told to shut up and do as they were told. Trump became their voice.

The more he succeeds the more it is obvious to all but the Foxy's of the world, which side truly didn't understand.

Remember how the non-deplorables told us Trump and his supporters were moronic to think he could bring manufacturing jobs back to the US. You don't hearthat so much now!

They told the deplorables that the stock market would crash. That unemployment rise. That coal was indeed dead. That ISIS would take years to defeat. That Obama's Syrian red line couldn't be defended.

The non-deplorables aren't moronic, but they are/were wrong. They just don't know it.

I suspect the Foxy's and Bill James of this world never will.

Who'd a thunk it that Plummy Alex would emerge as a 'hero' ? Now I bet the Neo-Con Clinton camp will be in damage control mode over the assertion that Hilary's emails may yet hoist her on her own petard. Only time will tell, but Donald's silence is damning in itself. Spose we'll be hearing more of that: "I don't recall" being said on the newsfeeds and the squawking of the electronic whorehouses. Nothing like having Uncle Rupert and Co in your payroll though.

Ever been to Kansas, Kansas city here I come?

Not to long ago the state of Kansas tried, six times bankrupt, Donald Trump's proposed low tax economic model. And predictably went in just 3 short years, from being among one of the wealthier states, to very nearly bankrupt!

It's only a question of time before the same happens to the rest of America? A very fair minded Foxy, is indubitably right!

Because only 30% of that population understand politics, with another 30% understanding very basic economics! And all elections invariably decided by the remaining 40% who understand neither!

In any event, the following paradigm, inevitably prevails.

You can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.

Even morons get toothache, hungry and or homeless and when enough find they can no longer afford the most essential basics! They who elected Trump, will revolt enmasse and queue at the ballot box; to throw this alleged man, out!

Even as the die hard morons berat all and any who think he stinks, as lefties or some such drivel!

It may come as some surprise? But an impoverished Communist Cuba has better more affordable public health and universal dental care, than the, wealthiest economy in the world, [made wealthier by (how to make squadrilllins, without really trying) pass the parcel, bitcoin, just don't get caught being they last pair of hands with no new, cashed up mug, to pass it to,] USA!
