The unwashed masses can now obtain information, knowledge and the truth on their own and that freaks out the white collar, globalists that dominate California and the northeast.

The globalists spent most of the 20th century consolidating their power over people in the Western world. These corporate globalists have decided to make Trump their scapegoat and even if they succeed in ruining his term in office, it will not bring back their absolute power and control. The election of Trump is not the cause of the globalists' loss of control, the election of Trump is a consequence of the rise of social media and freedom of information. Unless the Democrats can mimic what the communist Chinese government does in China, they cannot put the proverbial cat back in the bag. The big question is will we let the DNC even try to do this?
Well said Atkinson. Democrats and the mainstream media are used to telling people how to think. Now that they can no longer control it they are going nuts.

What a shame.
I always say, you don't even have to do anything untoward the best way to drive your opposition nuts is to succeed. Liberals are more interested in Trump (Americans) failing so they will claim they will rescue us.

Look at them slow walking Trumps staff pics.

Except for Hillary. She knew how to run the Whitehouse just like Monica was prepared to lead on day 1.

Just imagine for a minute how Trump uses time effectively like skipping pompous press dinners while bill Clinton was busy with Monica.

Absolutely opposites and America needs Leaders in the White house who are working on our country, not their belt.

Nope, there are quite a few worse than Obama. Much worse.

In case you can't figure it out-every president "learns as he goes". Not exactly a class for the job. At least Trump had management and executive experience, and it shows. That is why he has accomplished so much more in 30 days than the community organizer did in years.

It sounds like Kimchee was too busy eating kimchee to smell the foul of his statement. Obama was a mess. Had to use TelePrompTer. He thought USA had 51 states. And worse yet, he graduated from Harvard law school. Major fail.

Big differences:

Obama had a few years of experience in government. Trump has no experience.

Obama had the temperament for the job. Trump doesn't.

Obama was and is very intelligent. Trump isn't.

Obama was willing to listen and learn. Trump isn't.

Obama reads. Trump seems to have a problem with reading.

And many more...

You don't need a blueprint. All you need is a common goal. Do you know it was one woman who started the women's march by just mentioning her frustration on social media. It created the biggest march ever in DC. It spread like wild fire on social media. Why do you think the whole world got involved. So I would say they absolutely have a clue what they are doing

Indivisibles seem to be figuring it out.

They have a heck of a motto.
