From the OP...

It is about the definition of making America great again. Ronald Reagan used the same slogan in his 1980 Campaign, but times were way different then. Reagan, in my opinion had completely different ideas than Donald Trump has.

Your thoughts?
No.

America will make America great again.

Trump needs to set the table.

America needs to go to work and stop fighting against one another. Trump can't do the work for us.

I think America is already great.

I don't think Trump is going to improve it. He seems to have definitely dragged down the office of POTUS by a substantial number of IQ points and he's not even in it yet.

Is he a farce to you because he doesn't seem to me in with Skull Doug Erie?

Hillary needs to be soothed down at a federal mental hospital.

She needs to be counseled by nitwits.

The Office has always used force to cover farce.

Seems to me he's been defeating farcists since his campaign began.

I've always been an anti-farcist myself.

Farcity always seem to cling to Scare City.

Scarcists don't scare me.

They are scarce around me.

Trump is WAY out of his league. Even just a tiny fraction of what goes on in America is HUGELY bigger than anything he has even been involved in.


He owns all of his businesses, right? Reports have it that he might be worth $10 Billion, right? So, the sum total of his business world is not even a rounding error of what he is trying to take control of now.


Fail. Huge Fail. Inexperienced. Not too smart, despite his self anointed "I am really, really smart". No people skills. No understanding of history. No understanding of the world. Shoots his mouth off to some people who burry him, just because.


And then you get into his social skills, etc. which are those of a 12 year old.


NO way he will ever come close to "Making America Great" again.


(But he is already telling us that he has done it, because he got a plane order changed (maybe), and he got a few thousand jobs which weren't going anywhere, to stay where they were).

My response would be, "Dunno, wait and see."

The people here bashing Trump are missing a fundamental difference between Obama and Trump: Obama ran more as King where his cabinet were executing his orders. Disagreements were not allowed. Trump will delegate and will have each cabinet member execute their decisions. He'll run it more as a CEO. And I think he'll be very, very successful in this. His instincts are spot-on (I mean, you don't just create his empire and then run successfully for President.). I believe Trump has his limitations, but I also believe he's aware of them.

How do we know he has an "Empire"? Romney said he was a scam artist, a cheat, a fraud, a charlatan.


(That is an odd choice of words when you refer to his predecessor as "King"). I think of The Donald as being somewhere between pretending he is king and the reality that he might be a dictator. Thus far, he has all the hallmarks.

Whether he's a dictator or not, I don't know. What I do know is that dictatorship is inevitable when more and more people vote for bigger and bigger government and look to it to solve more and more of their problems. That seems to be the common theme behind both Obama and Trump.
