Thank you! Probably don't agree with you on much. But very good post!
This is not the type of behavior we should accept from a President. This is more akin to a 12 year old boy.
It's always good to find a common ground. People can disagree on many things. However, agreeing on common decency is always a good thing. Behavior like this is not going to "make American great". The only thing it's doing is driving a wedge in society. Actually, this is a society where divides have run strong for hundreds of years. However, this isn't making things any better.
California has some problems. I don't like how some things are run in that state. California's government should be held responsible for some things. However, insulting an entire state is not going to help matters at all. Behaving like a 12 year old boy? More like behaving like a 12 year old bully.
lol Trump's not trying to win California but I think his comments will increase his vote count in California.
He's linking the problems in California to Democrats.
I never said Trump was trying to win California. However, if he wants to get elected, being brutish and talking down on another state will only complicate things, especially in that state.
If Trump wants to talk about California's issues, he could have been honest without being a jerk. Calling California a disgrace to the entire country is tantamount to acting like a playground bully. How are people going to vote for a man who literally insulted their state? If I was living there, why would I do that?
Firefighters say there has been in increase in fires started by bums. Now that many have migrated to richer sections of the city instead of living on Skid Row, even liberals are fed up, but are they fed up enough to stop supporting Demwit candidates?
To most of Trump's base, only the rural South and parts of the Midwest qualifies as the 'real America.' So that comment resonates with Trump's base even though you are right in that it further divides the country.
To some people, the only "real America" is the rural south/rural midwest. And mainly areas with few racial minorities. Trump's comment only drives more wedges in society. On the other hand, we're already divided. President Trump is just telling many within his support base what they want to hear. He is saying how they feel. 15 years ago, I couldn't imagine a President insulting another city or state.
Trump points out things that are true and people freak out. California has gone downhill after democrat leadership. I think they all should be held accountable and clean up the cities.
I am someone else who agrees that the California leadership is a disgrace, and I despise extremists at both ends of the political spectrum. I truly do wish that California would be reacquired by Mexico!
