Not just the left side of the isle...

I've known of Trump for long time now. (as I am old, not older than dirt, but getting there) He was the top earner in the U.S. until Bill Gates stepped up and stole his thunder. (I was happy, someone needed to take that man down a notch)

Hate is such a strong word. It is a word that is being used too often over the last decade and its rise to fame has left me puzzled.

Judging a person by their character; then knowing their own character, one can certainly decide whether or not there are shared values between them.

I've never known Trump to be a liked individual among the American people, which leads me now to scratching my head as to how he can rise up into becoming the next POTUS ... Desperate people, perhaps which can cause people do some crazy things ...

It's been said, and I don't know by who and I'm sure to get the quote wrong, but I remember it read like this ...

"If a society wants a moral; principled government they must raise one".

Both POTUS candidates is what America has to show in its values as a society ... for be it for any one to judge and say, it's all wrong.

Trump is the ultimate flip flopper. He was a Democrat a mere 6 months ago. Praising the Clintons. Who is the hypocrite? You Faux watchers believe anything that toilet station presents to you as news.....

It is an attack on free speech. The truth cannot be spoken of in the political arena. They consider someone who tells the truth a loose cannon, racist, not of the right temperament, bigot, sexist and whatever else they can think of because they don't want the truth reaching too many ears.


If they can't do away with the first amendment constitutionally, they will shame you into silence.

That's what you'd call an equal opportunist. Court should reflect the population and not be a good old-boys club

but when someone says racist, we need to explain it.


so gimme an example of 1 thing he has said or done that is racist and lets see.
He said that a judge was going after him because the judge is Mexican.


There, it wasn't that hard to provide for you.

At a minimum this is monumentally stupid and prejudicial, which is not far from racism.

I don't hate Trump, in fact I agree with him on many points.

However, I don't think he would be a good President. Trump is the king of his ego-driven Trump-world businesses. In our system the President has to share power and work with a Judiciary and a Legislature: Best Case Scenario - Trump is ineffectual while making lots of noise but doesn't really accomplish much; Worst Case - He damages our constitutional democracy and economy.

the "truth" is that a Federal judge going after Trump for perpetrating a fraud is a result of that judge being Mexican?.....alrighty then. That's not telling the truth, it's being a prejudicial insolent mental child...in addition to defrauding people.

I am with you.

I also agree with him on many points. For example, border, trade, and national security.

The only issue I disagree with him on is foreign policy. I also think he is thin skinned. (seems unnecessary to go after everybody who disagreed with him.)

This said, between hillary clinton and donald trump. I view Trump as a risk worth taking. Hillary is definitely NOT the lesser of two evils.

Let's face it, if we want an honest discussion and debate, then put policies on the table, not personalities. after all, nobody wants to sleep with Donald Trump.

I think it needs to be a forum sticky it gets repeated so much
