Is Trump rational? : Comments

By Michael Knox, published 1/5/2018

Importantly, the White working class is also the largest block of Democratic Party voters. Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton only won 28% of White working class votes.

If not Donald Trump then somebody else not contaminated by the quest for personal power and the benefits of office. Donald's win was a manifestation of the revolt against Wall St and business as usual in Washington. The establishment believed they were in charge and pulling all the right strings, greasing all the right palms etc. As an outrageous Trump got almost wall to wall, free airtime. All while the meddling Russians lent a hand? Rational? Well for a six time bankrupt to still be as wealthy as he now is? He has to, at the very least, have a moment or two of extreme clarity and or excellent help? That said he still needs to deliver on the promises he made and not put America back into another war, where he as the incumbent will stay on? Is he rational? Well, he had to be doing a couple of things right to be where he is today? Alan B.

President Trump is a breath of fresh air. In one year he has made his detractors look like a bunch of teenage girls having hissy fits. He has achieved much more in one year than his opponents and opposition achieved in the previous 8 or more years. Hopefully he can keep draining the swamp. We desperately need to drain the abc, academia and other tax payer funded sucking organisations pushing their sick Marxist ideology. Have they managed to jail HIlary yet?

Michael, 100 years ago, those attaining a university degree comprised only about 2-3% of western populations. And these graduates were almost always the cream of the middle and ruling classes. They were the establishment. Today around 10-12% of western populations attain university degrees, too many of which are almost useless Humanities and Artz degrees. Such graduates are no longer the children of the establishment, they are the spoiled, pampered "dregs of the middle class" (as former Labor minister "Nugget" Coombes once described them.)

They are an entirely new class of society. They consider themselves to be oh, so ferking intelligent and morally superior, and they look down their noses at the working and disadvantaged classes, whom they once pretended to be the champions of. They are a class which champions equality, but they really know how to talk down to their working class "deplorable" inferiors. They also sneer at the ruling and business classes (who are usually their despairing parents) and consider themselves morally superior to them.

They are not defined by wealth, because often working class tradespeople can earn considerably more money than they can. They are defined as a class by their attitudes.

Foremost among them is the rejection of nationalism and patriotism, evidenced by their support for anything which promotes a cosmopolitanism and trans national governments. Naturally, they are drawn to socialism for it's supposed internationalism, heedless of the fact that such a system has failed miserably wherever it was tried.

True to their cosmopolitan beliefs, they are the champions of anti racism. The fact that non white immigration into their countries is a form of social suicide is only just beginning to dawn on them. But it doesn't matter what the issue is. Whatever the lower and upper classes want, the socialite socialists will fight for the opposite as an expression of their class identity. If Trump's supporters were for immigration and against racism, they would be against immigration and for racism.

It is difficult to talk sense to them because people who think they were born infallible believe that they can never be wrong.

And one thing that is worse LEGO, most of them seem to end up in the bureaucracy, where some degree, any sort of degree, even from the B & C grade universities, where no one ever fails, has become a necessary qualification.

I don't think that he does. Most of people do not like him because of decisions he made.

Runner, a self claiming believer in God and Jesus, seems to turn a blind eye when a nutter like Trump breaks every rule in the Bible right in front of his very eyes.

Adultery used to be a sin until Trump came along.

Lying used to be a sin until Trump came along.

Bearing false witness used to be a sin until Trump came along.

Even Fox news is turning against him...

Now there are allegations that more women may have been paid off by Cohen

But we may as well laugh at it rather than cry...lol

So Runner should we now just accept that following the rules in the Bible regarding the above matters don't count anymore and no-one following them has your complete approval?

You are a funny, confused little thing...lmao
