Think about the following quote by Churchill. Could Trump ever deliver anything like this?
Churchill won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. We're not really dealing with the same ballpark here.
Think about the following quote by Churchill. Could Trump ever deliver anything like this?
Washington (CNN)Donald Trump suggested Monday that American soldiers and veterans who commit suicide do so because they can't handle the post-traumatic stress of war."When you talk about the mental health problems, when people come back from war and combat and they see things that maybe a lot of folks in this room have seen many times over and you're strong and you can handle it but a lot of people can't handle it. They see horror stories, they see events you couldn't see in a movie, nobody would believe it," Trump said Monday, during a panel interview at the Retired American Warriors PAC, in Herndon, Virginia.
The Trump campaign did not immediately return a request for comment Monday.
The number of suicides and other grave effects from PTSD in the military has skyrocketed, causing alarm both inside the military and in the public at large.

This is the most attention Boris has gotten since he started trolling Jazzfanz. He must be ecstatic.
I try to resist the trolls as much as possible. I don't even read some posts by many of these trolls, I am weak sometimes though. On a similar not, is Computer Hack? I was away for awhile.

I'm not even talking about crafting something like this; I'm talking about delivering the sentiment within a speech, written by a speech writer. Also, what do you think of Trudeau so far?
Watching a Trump rally, and listening to his stream of consciousness rants, and the crowd's response, it's not hard to see the personality cult aspect to his candidacy. I imagine every campaign has followers that are buying into a personality cult, but with Trump what surprises me is how such a degree of crudeness and ignorance and low brow boorishness could ever get this far as a personality people would gravitate to in the first place. A 4th rate intellect, if that, it's as if we're gonna put one of the Three Stooges in the Oval Office. But there will be no yuk, yuk, yuk under this stooge.
His delivery is so often like that of a wise guy punk, with the facial expressions that only add to that impression. The man is an ignoramus, like no other in my lifetime to run for the Presidency.
I guess if a mass democracy can make it possible for such a crude buffoon to actually pull it off, then maybe it will actually be better when AI imposes a dictatorship of robots. I don't think I'm joking. Listening to the crowd respond to Trump, it's the crowd, not Trump, that really concerns me. People really are that stupid. Pretty damn elitist of me, but really, people need to be protected from themselves if they think things are so bad it's OK to make Donald Trump President.
I think if he is elected, he'll make these rallies a staple of his term. Won't be able to live without them. Him and his followers. Maybe he really is just building a cult. If every candidate for President has followers that can easily fall into the role of personality cult members, maybe Trump is actually creating a personality cult Presidency. More cult leader then elected official. More infallible leader then one of the people. Chief Peacock, not Chief Executive.
He really does seem to take every little slight personally, doesn't he? We could be seeing a pretty sick puppy get elected President here methinks. I hope it happens in an alternate universe.
Some snippets from the demented mind of Donald Trump:

Trumpism as personality cult. There's something here for the Never Hillary crowd as well:

And finally, one small business owner's experience with Trump. I imagine it's typical:

Great post, Red.
It is apparent that you are far from "reasonable." Just STFU about other people. It's the same old red herring B.S. and excuses that the adherents to the Trump cult use every time. Has or has Trump not released his tax returns? NO. Has every Republican nominee since 1980 released his tax returns? YES. Does the audit have anything at all to do with his unwillingness to release them? NO. Is Trump hiding something? YES! Is there a high likelihood that Trump will manipulate policy so that his businesses flourish, since he refuses to put his business into a blind trust or anything of that nature? YES. Are you giving any form of a moderately coherent argument? NO!
Ok let me put it to the dense liberals this way. If you republicans are chearleeding Trump taking advantage of the system than I never want to hear you say anything about those taking advantage of the welfare state again. Ever.
Get it yet? Liberals shriek about tax dodging but when Trump pulls that card you get jealous an have double standards. You call him demagogue as if there is any difference tween him an Hillary.
Boris, let me put it to you this way. All's fair in love and war, and this sure as hell ain't love.....
Sounds like the logic a white supremacist would use.
How do you justify believing the kid is Bill's son? There's no evidence at all, that I've seen.Bill Clinton wont claim his son he had with a hooker. Probably because the kid is half black.
The Clintons are just as racist as Trump. Probably more so.
How does the left justify this news?
