Even "The Economist" Has Figured It Out

Quote:Donald Trump has no grasp of what it means to be president

Quote:DEFENDERS of President Donald Trump offer two arguments in his favour—that he is a businessman who will curb the excesses of the state; and that he will help America stand tall again by demolishing the politically correct taboos of left-leaning, establishment elites. From the start, these arguments looked like wishful thinking. After Mr Trump’s press conference in New York on August 15th they lie in ruins.

The sane knew that the day he announced he was running. You don't start off a campaign with "They're rapists".

I've always found it weird how people are in favor of curbing excess of the state... then want to cut programs that actually help people, instead of... you know the FUCKING MILITARY.

What fucking good is a country that can defend itself, but can't fucking feed and educate it's people?

The Orange Supremacist was never going to be a good leader. He could barely manage his fucking companies. His supporters are fucking idiots, and yes I feel comfortable saying all of them were stupid as fuck.

We still need a military, but not the budget we spend on weapons. We have enough nukes to blow the planet up 3x over. 

This is simply gas on the fire to the deregulation Reagan started. Same tactic the entire time but now with political vilification and demagoguery. 

We need investment in VA care when they get home. We need better wages for all workers. The GOP doesn't give one shit that if you pay workers more they depend on government less. But they will have none of that because the billionaires need their tax cuts.
