You didn't get the memo:

Everything bad is going to be Trumps fault the next 8 years.

Everything good is from all the great things Obama did the past 8 years.

His motives are soooo pure, he LOOOVES the working men and women, he has always hated his money, and wants to give it away some day, he begged his father to send him to the public schools in Harlem, he screamed bloody murder when he couldn't get into the Marine Corps and fight in the Nam, he would love to have a go at ISIS, hand to hand combat.

But, his heart is sooo big that he also wants ALL citizens, the corporate kind too, to be included in the MAGA project, AND, he will insure the fairness of his actions just as though he was making another real estate deal.

Trump is saving the American dream. Dummycrats are trying to declare the American dream dead so they can bury it and replace it with more communism and gay bathrooms.

And we certainly don't need more government in our lives. Which is all the democrat party has to offer anymore.

Well, I had no idea he was going to free me from those commies and the gay bathrooms that have been the center of my grief for the last eight years of oppression. Andy, you really need to get a grip on yourself, in case you hadn't noticed, the Republicans have been growing your government as much as those you blame for it's current size. Civil rights aside, and allowing that communism doesn't really exist, I'm left to wonder about the facts surrounding your fan status with regard to the party that has never shown the working man any respect. And now the Dems are supporting wars, poor monetary policies, snuggling with Wall Street types, just like your heroes in the "other" party.

This seems to be the problem in American politics today, the failure of the voters to note the sameness in party politics, no, they dwell on what they see as the differences. It's all downhill from there as that obsession grows into a sports like circus of team fanatics cheering for "their" team, all the while, the players couldn't care less about the screaming fans, they're too busy counting their money. The over the top dramatics of team fanatics begins with name calling and rabidly hating the "other" guys. From there it slides into that murky world of Limbaugh-isms, Beck-isms, and all the others who have found that barking, rather than talking, makes one feel righteous, as in "I'll turn up the volume when lacking in any supporting rationale.."

Politics an easy scam to perpetuate upon the hapless proles, I see it as a big sinkhole into which the low men toss their problems with the hope of having them taken seriously, but, those they hope are working on their problems---are ALL too busy counting their money...I'm going to be looking at Trump's relationship with American labor, his monetary policies, his views on military venturing, and, all those trade treaties he's promised to abolish. I'll leave the bathrooms, communism, the American dream, guns, abortion, and downsizing government, to you and your buddies, after all, somebody has to watch the store.

And we should be thankful that Trump is going to utilize his tireless work ethic to lift America up from the moral and economic ruins that liberals have left it in.

By living the Trump way, maybe we can hope to accumulate great wealth, which we can pass on for generations to come. Better than being a socialist bum and sleeping in your own filth because the government taught you it's ok not to work hard in life for the things you would like to own. Prosperity must be earned. And I doubt a professional "community organizer" is going to teach you much about earning your keep. Same is true for the professional drunk and rapist enabler that America righteously rejecting during this elect.
Keep enjoying that fantasy Andy - that's what got Trump elected. The fantasy that the lower class and middles class people of this country are "socialist bums and sleeping in their own filth" when in reality, the vast majority are people that would love to work hard with a job where they could make a decent livable wage and have affordable health care, and a chance for a retirement with dignity. Got news for you the "Trump way" is not going to mean diddly squat for these people, because Trump does not have clue one what it means to live paycheck to paycheck, does not have the vaguest notion what it means to be facing a retirement where you do not know whether you can pay for your health care or not. He's never had a day in his life where he didn't have a million in the bank. His value-less self absorbed life has absolutely nothing in common with mine.

Seriously? If everyone lived "the Trump way," society would pretty much disintegrate.

The Trump way:

1. Lie 75% of the time--there are actually those who will not question you or check facts -- so they will believe most everything you say.

2. Look for any possible way to avoid paying taxes and lie if need be.

3. Do not pay repairmen, painters, service providers or anyone at all. Just tell them you don't like the job they did, and they can sue you to get their money.

4. Continuously declare bankruptcy. Find a way to make others pay for your bad investments. Be as litigious as possible.

5. Bully those who do not agree with you. Call them names. Criticize them. Make up lies about them (refer to No. 1).

6. Take credit for positive things you are not responsible for and blame errors on others.

7. Pretend you are donating a lot of money to charity, but in reality, use others' money (refer to No. 1 and No. 4).

8. Tell people how 'hot' your daughters are. Brag about forcing yourself on the opposite sex. Assume this makes them envy you.

9. Hire undocumented workers (they are cheaper and won't report you if they are not paid).

10. Boast about everything you have, everyone you know and everything you've done (whether true or false). Brag about any famous friend you have (even if you've only met them once). Assume this makes others envy you.

11. Tell people you've 'made it on your own' even though you haven't (refer to No. 1).

12. Assume most laws and rules are for others, but you may ignore them.

13. Cheat on your spouses (all of them, as you are bound to get divorced once or twice). If anyone you want to marry is illegally working or needs a green card, pay someone to look the other way and allow them to 'self-sponsor'.

14. Deny inconvenient facts.

15. Hope that the Peter Principle and Nos. 1 - 14 will get you elected president.
