Your enemies? Who are your enemies? Americans who are of a different religion than you? Americans who are of a different political party than you? Someone from a different country?
Is it pure Americana to hate your fellow American? That is what Trump has been preaching. It is those boogiemen who are your enemy, right? But which boogieman? Or is it "All of the above"? Anyone who looks, thinks, or believes differently. They are the enemy.
What Trump is doing is VERY dangerous. He is feeding into the anger of the people and they must find someone to blame for their anger. So, let's have a scapegoat or two. And if he keeps up his hateful rhetoric, the violence will only escalate. If you don't believe me, look what happened to George Wallace in 1968. History will repeat itself.
Ironically, contrary to the OPs blurred vision of Mien Trumpf, his supporters are in fact the ones who do wait around for the gov to help them out. Every month. Wait by the mailbox . . .
Candidates shouldn't be asking voters to pledge their support for the candidate. Candidates should be pledging their support for the people. Trump has it completely backwards -- as always, it's all about him.
Actually, after what happened last night, I don't think of them as supporters any longer... they are more like 'followers' in a cult. Like Hitler had followers, the Branch Davidians had followers, Jim Jones had followers. It is all there, if you care to actually examine their behavior, and their leader.
The content of Trump's speeches leaves a lot to be desired. The reasons his supporters offer when asked why they support him, and their responses to others in our vibrant and diverse nation, leave everything to be desired.
The videos do not support the claims. There is no proof that Chicago PD told Trump to stay away. There is evidence that they told him they had the venue secured. Trump's private security left the venue, setting up a near-perfect scenario for violence by whipped-up, disappointed Trump supporters with both protesters exercising 1st Amendment rights and Chicago PD. He's put people in harm's way for personal gain.
There is further evidence that he contacted Chris Matthews to ensure his reasons for canceling Cincinnati's rally "sound good."
Bully, blowhard, coward, and cheat, insolent and arrogant: this is a carnival barker and champion liar with neither shame nor remorse, but only an endless appetite for attention, cost others what it may.
It shows at least some people have woken up and they are ready to resist!
I like resistance cause it brings your enemies out in the open
Donald's supporters are kinda people that don't wait around for government or anybody to help them.
These people can take care of themselves.
Pure Americana!!
Just like a Trump speech, this post is nothing but fluff and platitudes. So, I want to ask specific policy questions. THIS is Trump's tax-plan. It cuts taxes at all levels but mainly on the rich. It also adds $9.5 trillion to the debt.
THIS is Trump's health plan. It get's rid of Obamacare and essentially returns us to before the ACA, where insurance companies could discriminate against those with pre-existing conditions. It also relies upon people saving for their own medical care with savings accounts.
Why is Trump's tax plan and health plan better than the tax and health system we now have? Since Trump's tax-plan lowers revenue by roughly one trillion dollars a year, how will that be made up? Note: answers like, "because we'll be great"; "he'll hire terrific people"; and, "Good management," aren't acceptable answers.
Actually, after what happened last night, I don't think of them as supporters any longer... they are more like 'followers' in a cult. Like Hitler had followers, the Branch Davidians had followers, Jim Jones had followers. It is all there, if you care to actually examine their behavior, and their leader.
And perhaps the real reason for his campaign from that article: Whatever happens to his presidential bid, Trump thinks it’s all been worth it. "Generally, what I’m doing has been helpful for the brand," he said. "The heads of the countries all dig Trump."
