That's unintentional comedic gold.

Bachelor's degree white male here. I give him a major disapproval so far (and I really am rooting for the guy). He has done jack except some craziness over Muslim immigration that made me delete my facebook over the chaos it created and I couldn't stand looking at it every day. And one of his cabinet appointees has already been forced to resign over corruption charges. Not to mention all the bogus news stories that he creates (this nonsense about Sweden for instance). So far he has been nothing but a drama.

Where is his Obamacare replacement? Where are his trade deal revamps? Where are the tax cuts and deregulation?

If his first month is what we can expect for four years, I have absolutely no hope that he will lift us out of the economic malaise our country has been in for nearly 10 years. And I expect society to move further into a divided train wreck.

People who are educated are (by definition) the opposite of idiots.

Btw? I have changed many tires. Has more to do with upbringing and geographic location than education. Changing a tire is not a skill requiring a great deal of intelligence, though.

The only number above 51% (Trump support base) is among whites with high school or less education. That is a small ignorant segment of the society.

Not Republicans. Trump. You're learning for the first time today that union members parted ways in large numbers with their union bosses' support of Clinton? The past 8 years hurt union workers. They were not at all thrilled with TPP. They were in the White House screaming out the exact same things Republicans were saying about Obamacare, saying they supported Obama and now he is abandoning them. He got them in and made a side deal with them.

While they would not likely spit on an establishment Republican, we will see if their trust in Trump was misplaced.

Clinton was a really, really bad candidate.

Interestingly, I just read this article about 4Chan and these young men who support Trump because they are nihilists and using the computer for lulz and entertainment.

https://medium.com/@DaleBeran/4chan-...8cb#.8l0dc236d

Quote:
(These 4Chan) Trump supporters voted for the con-man, the labyrinth with no center, because the labyrinth with no center is how they feel, how they feel the world works around them. A labyrinth with no center is a perfect description of their mother’s basement with a terminal to an endless array of escapist fantasy worlds.

Trump’s bizarre, inconstant, incompetent, embarrassing, ridiculous behavior — what the left (naturally) perceives as his weaknesses — are to his supporters his strengths.

In other words, Trump is 4chan.

Its no secret that the very people who were and never will be in Trump's social circle (white trash) are his staunchest supporters.
