He may not be Hitler. But as a German newspaper
proclaimed - he definitely is a "horror clown".

One of the best things about Donald Trump is that he is not a member of the political establishment. He says what he thinks. There is no pre-prepared political bumf. He has a sense of humour. He is not addled by alcohol. He is honest and entertaining. He has a sensible approach to tariffs (none of that free trade nonsense). He will not allow the "enemy" to to come in and "take our jobs and take our factories and take our workers and take our families unless they pay a big price. And the big price is tariffs". He thinks windmills are "gross and dystopian". He hates them.

One of the few drawbacks of the Westminster system is that it doesn't cater for the possibility of electing a non-politician to lead Australia out of the current insanity and worsening economic conditions it is suffering from, and will continue to suffer from, under career politicians who haven't had a proper job.

Why is it that those of a certain leaning always assume and actively state that their opponents are being divisive.

The problem is that they are so full of their own virtue and cognisance that they assume the other side must be opposing them for nefarious reasons.

If only Trump would agree with us we could all get along. It never occurs that if only they'd get along with him there'd be no divisiveness.

Trump has at least 50% of the electorate with him so he's obviously not dividing them. The problem is that the other side, the TDS crowd and the never-Trumpers and aunti-facists etc not only disagree with him but violently do so. Consequently we see multiple assassination attempts and completely moronic and outrageous wishes from people like Foxy who wished he got shot in the neck rather than the ear.

Trump wants to deport enormous numbers of illegals and we're told by the virtue signallers that this is divisive. Yet 2/3rds of the electorate want that as well. So who is divisive? (BTW one of those illegals shot a Jew in cold blood today while yelling to his god. I thought I'd mention it because the media that Banjo and Foxy frequent will suppress it.)

But it seems the truth is starting to get through. Just today we found Bezos telling his Washington Post staff that they need to start being less biased if they expect to regain the support of the people. This after a new survey showed journalists in the USA to be the most despised of all institutions - even lower than politicians if you can believe it.

Trumpster,

Other than a casual interest at the outcome I will not be shocked or dismayed regardless of who should win. I see the US, irrespective of who should be the Ll Duce for the time being, as a great danger to world peace and economic stability, as they have been for the past 70 years. I might like to see Harris win, just for the fun of watching the Trumpsters, that could be YOU, run amok around Washington again in January. Have you dusted off your buffalo horn outfit, and got ya red, white and blue face paint ready?

Dear mhaze & ttbn,

.

I understand your point of view which, on the face of it, sounds reasonable. I’m sure a lot of well-intentioned people preparing to vote for Trump think likewise.

Even though some may be a little hesitant, based on his previous presidency they think they know what to expect.

Unfortunately, they do not fully measure the importance of the severe narcissistic collapse Trump suffered when he failed to be re-elected in 2020. His neural defence system triggered a protective wall around his ego and he has lived in a reality of his own invention ever since.

He subsequently managed to brainwash a cohort of weirdos, as a guru influences his loyal and devoted disciples, into adopting his unique, warped version of reality. Enflamed by his rhetoric, they stormed the Capitol and caused havoc.

Perhaps his experience as host of the TV reality show on NBC, “The Apprentice” helped him improve and develop his natural charisma and communication skills.

His next victims were the Republican members of the US Senate. Having finally arrived at a long and extremely difficult bipartisan agreement with the Democrats on a border security bill, the Republican senators were obliged to torpedo it under pressure from Trump.

He wanted to keep the problem on the burner so that he could attack the Democrats during the presidential election.

For the past 4 years, Trump has been totally obsessed by the thought that he won the 2020 election and that it was stolen from him. He has built a power base of ill-informed and dis-informed disciples who obey him without question and he has gained full control of the Republican party.

He has survived two assassination attempts and is out to get his revenge.

Despite that, his niece, Mary Trump, a psychologist by profession, has written a book in which she describes her uncle as “the world’s most dangerous man” and “a serial fraud”.

Trump describes his critics (including former aides at the White House) as “the enemy within” and threatens military intervention to quell domestic unrest.

The American voters are duly warned.
