The president of the United States is more than a
chief executive. He (or she) is also a symbol
for the nation and for the world of what it means to
be an American. Much of the president's power to
represent and to inspire comes from "narrative".

It is largely through the stories he tells or personafies
and through the stories told about him that a president
exerts moral force and fashions a nation defining legacy.

The ongoing rude, crude, sexist, callous, and odious behaviour
of Donald Trump. His uncontrollable narcissism and bullying
continue to set a deplorable example for the American
people and the image of their nation worldwide.

It really is cringeworthy and yet people like runner and
others continue to support and admire the man who's only out
for himself - to win at all costs - not really knowing why.
The man is what he is. But what's the excuse of his
supporters - who should know better.

They can't all be deranged.

'It really is cringeworthy and yet people like runner and

Just for you Foxy - reasons I would support Trump if I lived in US

1. Pro Life
2. Gave the finger to the globalist gw scam
3. Will protect religous freedom (unlike democrats)
4. Will stand up for America rather than totally corrupt globalist
5. Will support Israel's right to exist
6. Will stop the country being further destroyed by illegal immigration
7. Will continue to drain the putried swamp (made up of Republicans and democrats)
8. Will push back on China rather than take bribes like Biden and his family
9. Will push back against lying liberal media and big tech.

IVANKA TRUMP's TRADEMARK REQUESTS FAST-TRACKED by CHINA AFTER DONALD TRUMP ELECTED

DONALD TRUMP also IMPLICATED

On March 29, 2017, Ivanka Trump, the eldest daughter of President Trump, became an official

government employee, joining her husband, Jared Kushner, as an adviser to her father.

The day before that appointment, Ivanka applied for 17 new trademarks with the Chinese government.

In May of 2018, amid tense trade war negotiations between China and the United States,

China approved seven Ivanka trademarks.

Over a span of two months in late 2018, the Chinese government granted 18 trademarks

to companies linked to President Trump and his daughter.

The new approvals covered Ivanka-branded fashion gear, including sunglasses, handbags,

shoes and jewelry, as well as beauty services and VOTING MACHINES.

“Ivanka receives preliminary approval for these new Chinese trademarks while her father

continues to wage a trade war with China.

Since IVANKA TRUMP has retained her foreign trademarks, the public will continue to have to ask

whether President TRUMP has made foreign policy decisions

in the interest of his and his family’s businesses!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universalism#Philosophy

Philosophy
Universality
Main article: Universality (philosophy)

In philosophy, universality is the notion that universal facts can be discovered and is therefore understood as being in opposition to relativism.[4]

In certain religions, universalism is the quality ascribed to an entity whose existence is consistent throughout the universe.
Moral universalism
Main articles: Moral universalism and Moral particularism

Moral universalism (also called moral objectivism or universal morality) is the meta-ethical position that some system of ethics applies universally. That system is inclusive of all individuals,[5] regardless of culture, race, sex, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, or any other distinguishing feature.[6] Moral universalism is opposed to moral nihilism and moral relativism. However, not all forms of moral universalism are absolutist, nor do they necessarily value monism. Many forms of universalism, such as utilitarianism, are non-absolutist. Other forms such as those theorized by Isaiah Berlin, may value pluralist ideals.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globalism#Arguments_in_favor

Arguments in favor

Proponents of globalism believe in global citizenship; that is, the problems of humanity can be resolved with democratic globalism. Democratic globalism is the idea that all people matter, no matter where they live, and that universal freedom and human rights can be fostered for all mankind.[5] World citizens believe in civic globalism[6] and that by thinking globally and acting locally they can affect positive change across all barriers.
Arguments against
Arguments against globalism are similar to those moved against globalisation, among which loss of cultural identity, deletion of community history, conflict of civilization, loss of political representation and collapse of the democratic process in favour of a globally managed open society.[7] However, the term "globalist" has also been used as a pejorative for political enemies, on the left within the context of the 1990s anti-globalization movement and protests, and on the right as a pejorative of "cosmopolitans" or those who favor internationalist projects over national ones.

runner,

I feel sorry for you. All the things you've listed
are fake news. You've bought what the fraudster is
selling hook, line, and sinker. The only thing the
man really cares about is himself and making money
for himself (and family).

You've been duped - big time.

'The only thing the
man really cares about is himself and making money
for himself (and family).'

don't even pretend anymore Foxy that telling me to 'judge not' was always a farcical joke to you.
