Probably shouldn't blame trump voters for wanting someone who promised better health care protections. Most americans wanted that too. But again, as president, trump did the opposite.


So, if the left or democrats or progressives seem angry, we are. Angry at president trump for lying to his voters and all americans. And for continuing to do so.


However, you trump voters have a right to be a thousand times angrier at trump. When someone lies to you, it’s because they don’t respect you enough to be honest. They lie because they think you’re too stupid to know the difference.
^^^^ this 100% ^^^^

You don't have to necessarily show libel actually besmirched a particular person's reputation only that it would be considered reputation harming. You do have to show that the defamation presented was knowingly false.

He has no plans to do anything. He has politics down. Just say what people want to hear, you don't actually have to do it.

Nothing good follows when a wannabe autocrat succumbs to paranoia. Look out, America.

Odd for you to say.

The man is a prolific author and has had access to the corridors of power for decades. He is well known for the accuracy of his work. I had (until now) thought all informed individuals were aware of that. He is in no way irrelevant.

All informed individuals still are. Even my sixteen-year-old knows about Woodward and Bernstein.
