I dont have a problem with Trump as he is what he is,the epitome of megalomaniac ,the supreme egotist, king of the used car salesmen ,absolutely no tact or diplomacy etc.,what gives me pause for concern is the number of people so easily duped by his charisma ready to hand over the reigns of power to this rank novice of the game. America you are being conned he has no plans.
You really have to look beyond what he says,
going to bring all the jobs back to America
Going to rid the nation of illegals
Going to eliminate terrorist and Muslim immigrants
going to fix healthcare
going to get rid of entitlement programs
going to rebuild out military
Etc Etc Etc
He never says how he will accomplish any of this,its all fluff made to impress easily impressed people and unbelievably they are buying it

As opposed to Hillary? She talks a good game, but her actions and history say otherwise.
She is for rewarding illegals.
She has been anti-business her entire career.
What happened to all those jobs she was going to bring to New York?
Libya?
She choked on Iraq
She wants to import more Muslims from countries openly hostile to the USA
The ACA is a mess and she is all for it.
She supports NAFTA and other trade deals like it.
Her stand on the military? She loves using our military, just not the people who serve in it.

The topic is about Trump and his colossal ego,rather than defend his actions and supposed policies you revert to the usual RW deflection of lets trash Hillary.

Donald Trump could also be considered an internet troll or, more accurately, the political version of those types on YouTube who make their online careers out of smearing the work of others while contributing nothing of value on their own. They bash and insult what they cannot understand what they cannot hope to accomplish with their own meager skills, but since Americans love watching people get torn down, they have a huge following.

Trump is no different. Any idiot can stand around and complain about things - he doesn't even need to add in the bigotry, lies, and propensity for violence if he just wants people to support him, so you know his hatred is genuine. But it takes a real person with actual experience and ideas to propose real solutions and work with others to accomplish them. Trump simply has no good ideas (sorry, but a religious test for citizenship is NOT a good idea, regressives) and he certainly is not willing to work with others since he's spent his whole adult life getting his way by yelling and acting like a white-collar thug.

What I find particularly sickening is since he has no political track record, people are dumb enough to think he'd be an honest politician - despite him being dishonest in everything else he's done in life - and many are also stupid enough to think that he is somehow going to work miracles if elected. The "logic" seems to go something like this, "Clinton hasn't prevented the North Koreans from getting nukes, but Trump's never failed like that and he says he's going to do something, so we should elect him." The amount of fail in that reasoning is astounding.

It doesn't take any skill to yell and scream while throwing mud and insults, and even a child should be able to see past Trump's defensive of "I've never been a weak political leader" when he has never been a politician at all. Unfortunately, right-wing regressives are immune to facts and reason, and hence Trump the dictator is a very real possibility.

They can't even use facts to trash Hillary; at least half of what he posted is either utter nonsense, not specifically Hillary's fault, or something that Trump would have no hope of fixing if he even had any actual leadership or political skills.

What regressives fail to understand is that even if every sleazy thing said about Hillary were true, that would only mean that she is just as sleazy as Trump is... and that is BEFORE Trump is given access to national level power and secrets. Take the email scandal for example: yes, Hillary screwed up and is too arrogant for her own good, but who with a straight face can tell me that Trump - a dishonest megalomaniac who has never followed any rules if he can get away with it - would have done any better? Sorry, but any party stupid enough to nominate a crooked scumbag like Trump has lost all rights to complain about the honesty of the opposition.

There is not a single personality flaw in Hillary that Trump does not also have, and usually to a greater level. He is also far less experienced, far less emotionally stable, and prone to bigotry and violence. No rational human being if given the choice of the two candidates would pick Trump as the better, but apparently 40% of the nation is completely irrational and immune to facts or reason, sadly.

And as usual we can count on Hillary's trolls to post utter lies and BS as that's the only defense they have against their own candidate's treasonous and traitorous behavior. For anyone who actually wants to hear the comments in their entirety, here's the full interview, which doubtless few, if any, will listen to.

From your link:

Quote:
While the twin towers lay smoldering, Trump was pointing out the fact that his stupid f*cking building was now the tallest. During a time when the calculations of the people killed were much higher than the final 2,296 total, Trump was thinking about how good his brand looks. This alone should tell you everything you need to know about the measure of this man.

Even on the day of incalculable national horror and devastation, Trump couldn’t just be a human being and put his ego aside for 10 minutes. Marcus may be right; Trump was probably unaware of how self-centered that statement was because — not unlike a spoiled child — he’s not aware of much beyond himself.

That's right Danny, I pulled it from a left wing site to see if any lefties might bother to WATCH THE VIDEO. But no, as usual let's just post the tripe that some troll scribbles rather than WATCH THE VIDEO to hear first hand what was said and how and why it was said. Facts to a leftie are like sunlight to cockroach.

Both nominees are not particularly forthcoming.

It does not seem to trouble either base.
