I think they invented "social promotion" for him.
What really impressed me was him fucking the neighbor lady. Her husband was a former Marine. He used to watch Melvin leave for third shift and hustle right across the street. One night he did that and Cecil, Melvin's father, was sitting outside the house next door, under a porch light. An idiot would have thought twice, but Dave followed his dick.

On the scale of things that puzzle me, this is way down there below "How the fuck did that man get elected president?"

That's pretty easy to explain.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Trump seems to have a deep, visceral hatred for Mr. Obama that I really don't grasp. It isn't just being worlds apart on policy - Bill Clinton and the elder Bush got on very well, as do the Obamas and the younger Bush family. But there doesn't seem to be anything that Trump isn't just willing but downright eager to lay on Mr. Obama's shoulders.
Oh, well...just one more plop on the heap of deranged pig shit that is Donald Trump.

Frankly, I'm sure it's more than a little to do with skin colour...
Oh no. Trump is an equal opportunity asshole.

Because nearly half of Americans are complete and total fucktards who never should have existed?

I hate to think that way but, yeah.
Unfortunately, it's not just Trump. We saw the same thing with Hitler in WWII. The average human is very gullible.

And very subject to emotional appeals to their patriotism. You can get them to do just about anything if you wave (or kiss and fondle) the flag and call your opponents un-American. You can whip up support for a war no one really understands why we're getting into with jingoism and the support of news media that follows the ratings.

To all my friends in the UK, Australia and otherwhere on this glorious planet.
Remember, Hilary got the popular vote. Trump was hoisted into office by the electoral college. We aren't even told who is on the electoral college and for all we know, it might not even exist. Just a bunch of high ranking politicians who step in to do what they want.
The US is a republic, not a democracy. They show us a rock and a hard place and tell us to choose.
