Why They Hate Trump

By Jeffrey Folks

Simply put, they hate Trump because he represents ordinary Americans — those who are not part of the political and corporate elite, who lack the advantages and connections of the Deep State, who are not media, academics, or celebs.  President Trump puts ordinary Americans first, and it drives the elite nuts.

The elite have spent so many years enjoying their advantages, including the psychological advantage of despising ordinary people, that they panicked when someone tried to take it all away from them.  They can't go on living without that warm, reassuring sense of superiority.

Contempt for average Americans was palpable in Hillary Clinton, which is why she lost the election of 2016.  It was just too obvious.  Joe Biden conceals it somewhat better, or perhaps he just cares more for other advantages of office — for both himself and family members.  Either way, he is taking advantage of ordinary people.   

What really upset the elite was that average Americans were beginning to believe in themselves.  Their wages were rising for the first time in decades, and they felt proud to be restoring America to what it could be.  If Biden wins, that will be lost.  The everyday American can crawl back to his cell and watch the country stagnate for another four or eight years.

What if the deplorables — the guy who delivers the bread to your supermarket, the woman caring for three children at home, the insurance salesman, the Target checkout clerk — were actually smarter than the Washington types, smarter than you in the universities and the media?  For the elite, it would mean that the world had been turned upside-down.

That's exactly what President Trump began to accomplish in four years.  For four years, those everyday Americans were treated like something special, listened to, moved to the front of the line.  Trump rallies were exciting because they were primarily a celebration of the rise of the real America — of those who get up five mornings a week to an alarm clock, start the car in the cold, drive to work in the dark, put in eight or ten hours, come back to football on TV in a two-bedroom apartment, bathe and sleep, and do it again and again.  On weekends, they coach and volunteer and attend church and care for family and neighbors.

This is a way of life that the Washington elite despise.  They prefer $300 restaurants, chauffeured limos, escort services funded by lobbyists, drugs and alcohol, junkets to exclusive resorts, secret bank accounts, and the status of high office.

The elite think they are so far above us, but they are not happier for it.  It's the parents in Oklahoma with their newborn child, the kid in Indiana receiving his first promotion, the grandparents in Florida living on not much more than Social Security but still giving of themselves — these are the great Americans who understand what President Trump is talking about, and they are the Americans he understands and respects.

Can you say Obama understood and respected these ordinary Americans?  Or the Clintons, or even the Bushes, with their New England heritage and Texas money?  Or Nixon, LBJ, or Kennedy with his serial adulteries?  Or Carter, with his twisted ideology of "save everyone in the world at the expense of the American middle class"?  Only Reagan and Trump put ordinary Americans first.

Now, unless the Supreme Court steps in, it's back to "normal."  Already the word has come down from Biden appointees — herd the riffraff back to their pens, tape their mouths, steal their votes, and strip them of their rights.  It's high times again in Washington.

I make it a point to keep quiet and also avoid arguments more these days because....

Yes, Merlot has disabled the comments, so here I am giving him a real answer to the question.
You just wait and watch they get screwed up by their own people.
It is as simple as that. This is what some people from the West stand up for, a bunch of thieves and corrupt arseholes. Don't say we didn't warn you from the very start, people.
If not ready to accept the reality nobody can help you!






And one more answer, regarding a country attracting back its own people.
We have the same scheme here, We want our people back and working for our country.
No mysteries or bullshite theories to be chewed up by the CS experts.
I will not engage in endless discussions of facts that are more that clear and real already.
Thank you!

It is God that created you and given you life.

So seek Truth and you shall find.
God is Love and is Good,therefore you will enter his kingdom one day, and so you will live in heaven and on earth.

As one gets older and eventually get to mature, by thoughts, intellect, attitude and actions, one learn to know and understand oneself. The things that bother me 10 or so years ago, do not weigh much anymore now. But there are several aspects of one's life that are not so easy to shake off.

Coming from a culture that considers (mostly) that talking about one's mental struggles is a taboo, it is hard to admit one's difficulties, seek and ask for help. I am not saying I am well versed in this topic, but one should try to reflect in oneself and accept that one needs professional help, before one goes deep into the dark pit. Help is available, do not hesitate to ask for it. And remember you are not alone.

Since covid and the re opening of our borders it seems to me that 1 in 3 tourists/ backpackers are French

In many ways they are the most arrogant and self centered race i have ever met

They snort
Insist on speaking French and smoke non stop

After a few drinks I asked a group of them why they had even bothered to visit NZ

If they did not even bother to try to converse in the English language why not just stay home , save money and watch documentaries on you tube.

My comments went down as well as the "rainbow warrior"

Do you know that Peace is so important?
Have you ask yourself why you are led to violence?
what violence can do to you? It lead you to sin against yourself and against God!
Violence comes from evil to you,God will judge you for it if you do and it lead to destruction.
Violence can make you enemy of yourself and of others!
Peace is so important like food when you are hungry and like water when you are thirsty.
Therefore do peace with yourself and with others!
Peace is key to every knowledge,it will free you from hurting yourself and others!
How will peace free you from hurting yourself and others?
It mean:peace will heal you from anger and sadness, and so will make you to love yourself and others.
Peace will heal you from so many things.
So keep love in your heart and peace in yourself.
Those who do peace:shall be called:children of God.
So read bible and seek God and Jesus to know ...!
God bless.

Many people think hell is a joke or is not real.this it deceive them.
Hell is real, those who go there suffer terribly,suffer demons that torture them,suffer without water,
are so thirsty, and suffer fire.
Jesus who is truth said to pharisees :how can you escape hell?is imposssible, because they done evil
and repent not, so they go in hell.
To not go in hell, need believe Jesus and obey his commandments,and repent of your sins and improve.
Love God with all heart....,and love your neighbours as yourself (love all people).
This will lead you to be saved and have eternal life.

So lose no time, seek salvation.
you are created to live with God in heaven and earth.
God bless.

Learning a language is a tough and challenging endeavor. In our family, most people can speak three languages, and some of my aunts can even speak four. I remember, during my language studies, encountering a student who could speak 15 languages, and his friend knew even more. I believe the government would greatly value individuals with such linguistic abilities.

While many women may wonder about a guy's earning potential when dating, my focus has always been on how many languages he speaks or how much vocabulary he can teach me. I think understanding the languages someone speaks is crucial to avoid misunderstandings in a relationship.

During my time studying Chinese in Taiwan, I immersed myself in the local culture, haggling like the locals and engaging in gossip . As of now, my proficiency in both German and Korean is at a low level.

The "Lowest Common Denominator" has just gone lower.
