90% of America's working class are non union.
And why aren't they union members. They pay you while they train you.

His ADHD is not the problem. It’s his Narcissistic Personality Disorder which is more than mere Narcissistic tendencies.




DSM-V 301.81 NPD


A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the
following:

1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements).

2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.

3. Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions).

4. Requires excessive admiration.

5. Has a sense of entitlement (i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations).

6. Is interpersonally exploitative (i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends).

7. Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.

8. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her.

9. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.



But his supporters mostly don’t care because these are seen as positive traits to many of them. Every mental health professional knows what a dangerous case he is to our country, whether they say it out loud or not. They are forbidden to because of The Goldwater Rule or risk losing their license.

No one thinks that those are positive traits and much of your claims about Trump aren't true anyway. His policies were good for our country and that's all that matters. What positive policies has Biden put into place? He is destroying our country. I'll take policy over personality any day of the week. It's the bad policy that will destroy our country, not personality.

Trump's wall was never completed because he wasn't re-elected! He would have completed it otherwise. He fought with the Democrats for the funding for it during the early part of his presidency.

Lol, and Biden is for the working class? Why is he allowing millions of so-called migrants into our country to compete for jobs and resources against Americans then? Trump did the opposite by building the wall and putting policies in place to prevent that. It's common knowledge not a Fox News talking point!

Trump reduced legal immigration to those from known terrorist countries. He wanted legal immigrants that would benefit our country instead of being a burden. That's sensible legal immigration policy!

He reduced illegal immigration by starting the building of the wall and put policies in place to reduce it also. Where have you been???

HUH? Every president we have ever had has been wealthy and that includes the Democrat ones to. Biden is wealthy to so what has he done for the working class besides import more foreigners with his border policies to take their jobs, taxes and resources?

Yep "one" day as a dictator to make improvements and to take out the trash. Is that somehow a bad thing?

Trump would have thrown out the veterans because he called them losers.

As far as labor is concerned the rich including Trump will always bring in enough legal and illegal aliens to keep their price down.


I don't mean to annoy you but all of the nonsense that you post here is garbage made up from the minions of Rupert Murdoch. If you want to get rid of a dangerous alien, deport him.
Murdock has American citizenship.

Think the decline in union membership had anything to do with the millions of manufacturing jobs that were offshored in the early 2000's ?
