Understanding Donald Trump : Comments

By Don Aitkin, published 22/6/2018

He is not a politician, and has never served in any elected role. So he didn't come to office with a well-developed sense of what you do and how you do it.

ALTRAV,

Listen Sunshine - you may live in a bubble. Most of
the rest of us do live in the real world.

Donald Trump's own former campaign strategist David
Urban tells CNN's Anderson Cooper that President Donald
Trump does not "purposely lie" to the American people.
But that he is prone to "hyperbole."

While his competitors gravely list how to fix the country's
problems Trump tells voters how fantastic everything is
going to be once he's President. He's pledged to be the
greatest jobs president God ever created. To be better on
women's health issues than anyone else. To seize Iran's oil
reserves, to beat up on China while making them "like us."
To get rid of ISIS, to force Mexico to pay for a new 2,000
mile wall along its border with the US, to round up and
deport 11 million undocumented immigrants.

The man has no problems promising voters more than he can
possibly deliver - over-hyping his abilities is what this
guy does. The sad part is that his over the top style with
no substance does have its admirers. Who believe that it's
enough to just say he'll "Make America Great Again." And
it will happen! Exaggeration is a hallmark of the cut-throat
New York real-estate world that Trump comes from. Lets hope
that he doesn't bankrupt the country like he did his own
businesses. And that the many Americans who did not vote for
him will turn up to vote at the next election.

He's not even a good salesman - let alone a President.

Here's a joke you may appreciate:

The Brazilian Ambassador meets Donald Trump and offers
him 50 Brazilian soldiers to help with the fight
against terrorism. Trump says, "That's fantastic!"

He then tells his Chief of Staff about the Brazilian
Ambassadors offer. Trump's Chief of Staff also says,
"That's fantastic!"

Then Donald Trump asks his Chief of Staff,

"How many is a Brazilian?"

Foxy, it is not I who live in a bubble.
I laugh at the circus that goes on around Trump.
I remain positive and am one of those who see's the glass 'half full'. Where-as people like yourself have allowed yourselves to get sucked in to the hysteria of negativity and nastiness being cultivated by the anti-Trump campaign.
Firstly, we won't see anything come of his promises if he is resisted by oppositions.
Secondly, he might be all the things he is accused of but, because no-one knows what he is thinking, they cannot draw conclusions.
And if you base your comments on things he says, you will regret it, because not even he knows what he's doing from one minute to the next.
I do believe so far I have witnessed a man who is genuine about his intentions but is in-experienced in making them happen.
The fault will lie with congress.
Don't get sucked in to his bravado speeches.
That's who he is.
Just like the guy at the bar bragging about one thing or another.
You are confusing emotions with reality.
How many times do I have to remind people, emotions are a useless thing when trying to have a sensible discussion.
You completely gloss over the fact that he has a very large base of followers.
Sure they might all be stupid rednecks, (if that makes you feel better) but polls are showing he has a better than predicted chance of holding his position.
Who would have thought?
Even I had him out on his ear by now, but not for the stupid petty reasons you and others put up.
You see I don't think he's POTUS material, but why I'm happy to see him there is because he gave the Bilderburg Group the shoulder and disrupted their reign of theft and pillaging.
No I say to his detractors, just back off with all the wasted vitriol and vial comments about the man.
He's there now and like me I think we give him a go and we'll see, he just might prove his detractors wrong.

ALTRAV,

Stupid petty reasons?

No. He's being judged by his own actions.
And the damage he's done and continues to
do. And he can't gloss it over as "fake news,"
any more - nobody but the simple minded are
buying it. BTW- 51% of Americans do not
approve of what he's doing - so the next
election should prove interesting.

In any case I see that any further discussion
with you is pointless. We're so far apart in
our thinking.

Have a nice day.

Clive Palmer only went into Parliament in order to serve his personal financial interests.
He couldn't get the Queensland Government to do what he wanted regarding the Abbott Point railway to service the Galilee Basin so it was a way to get what he wanted by other means.
He eventually got his way and has contributed nothing else of significance as his parliamentary attendance and voting record clearly shows.

Like his dinosaur park and Titanic nonsense, he's a fraud, a self-promoter and a hangover from the corrupt Queensland white-shoe brigade that made him wealthy in the first place.

Likewise, Hanson and Trump are the inevitable result of disaffected voters who only know what they don't like and think their protest vote against the status-quo will somehow magically make things better for them.

Trump admires and congratulates dictators but alienates his true allies and is a blatant lair.
