Mr. Trump.

I wonder who you are referring to, Loulou.

Nice to see you.

Draegoneer, thanks for your straight answer to a question I didn't ask.

Rizla, good point about Tony Benn.

So you respect Trump as the holder of the office of President of the USA, but not as the man Donald Trum, is that what you're saying, Fay?

I don't think the OP is being honest in his reason for starting this blog. I believe he is asking rhetorical questions and hoping this would turn into another opportunity to bash Trump, which it obviously has, to the surprise of no one.

What I really like about Trump is his willingness to tackle tough issues that his predecessors never seemed willing to do. This is due to the fact that he is beholden to no one. He didn't sell himself out to special interests to get elected and he won't need to rely on speaking engagements to get rich after he leaves office. Trump is a street fighter and a counter puncher and what he lacks in style he makes up for in tenacity. Trump forces us to examine inconvenient truths about ourselves which makes many feel very uncomfortable. A lot of the issues like trade and immigration have needed to be dealt with for a long time and Trump is not kicking the can down the road or trying to sugar coat them.

And I especially like the way he has tricked the main stream media into exposing themselves as the partisan hacks that they are. He has also helped, reveal the corruption at the FBI, IRS, and the other federal bureaucracies, albeit most of it was done unwittingly.

So we are being asked if we like a man who has warts and flaws and is very much a sinner.
Well my answer is yes I like him because I think he was very much what was needed at this particular moment in history.

My only motive for starting this blog was curiosity, Miguel. You and others are the ones abusing it by using it as an excuse to sing his praises, while, mostly, avoiding answering my question.

You sure about that chat?

I cannot say whether i like or hate TRUMP that is for the AMERICANS to decide. All can say is........

Good OR Bad is Subjective terminology and i am Curious as to why one would ask a "good/bad" question. Then, it require Facts...

Good, deplorable, evil, rectitudinous, insouciance are all relative terms predicated on an individual's view point. Consequently, it is impossible at state facts.

-- Facts are objective data.

The Foundation of Fascism A narcissistic megalomaniac is a a facile step away from a free America. Early on Trump's campaign, ties to the alt-right and white nationalist base were evident. Once his administration settled in, those ties were shown to be vigorous. Further that with an endeavored coercion of media, condemning all news sources that don't favor his administration, and the substratum for fascism is laid, even built upon.
It can be argued that a secure border is obligatory, which is always the case. Building a "wall" however was a step beyond, in that it merely turned neighbor into a supposed enemy, pristinely in the interest of ill-placed nationalistic pride.
Taken a step further, the denominating of a group of people predicated on culture, religion and/or ethnicity as perilous, engenders an erroneous enemy, but one that is facile and simple to point out.

America was built upon the labors of all people, from astronomically different cultures. They are a melting pot of different cultures converging and becoming American. Opting to dissever nation through labels of race and ethnicity is precisely what will kill America. Doing so as an orchestration of action is precisely how fascism steadies it's rule. The contiguous to go would be the inculcated, edifiers who avail their children become strong and good citizens, and even to make it unlawful for one to speak out against a regime as needed. Then, fascist rule becomes not only entrenched but uncontested.

The Environment? Negative, the highest CO2 amounts ever recorded just transpired... The Economy? Too early to tell. Many companies are merging so it requires time. Nafta, European trade accedence have not been settled yet... The Unemployment?could be Positive as few says but million do not agree....

Affirmative, at World stage Trump is the most detested president USA ever had that is what i can see.My opinion ..THINK about the future generation to come.They are the FUTURE RULERS OF OUR PLANET..

I agree with you in a way, Drcoctail, there are far too many blogs about Trump.

All you hard core Hillary supporters, you think she is good for America, fair enough. But do you like her as a human being. Do you think she's a nice person? A good person? An honest person?

I assume you are addressing that to the bloggers who create thread after mindless thread in high praise of Hillary Clinton, Drcoctail. I've not seen many of those on this site but, if you can find any, it's a fair question.

Harb, I feel faint at the thought of catching up the 30 or so comments I've missed. What did I miss? Does anyone think he's a nice person? A good person? An honest person? Would you, put it this way, buy a used car from him?

So far as I had originally got, there was one comment that he was charming, and a few who said no politicians can be expected to be nice / good / honest and still be politicians, (fair comment) but at that point, no-one had shouted a resounding YES.

So? Final tally to date?

The situation just got more complicated, Biff. You are now required to give a verdict on Hillary Clinton as well.

Who is Hillary Clinton?

And nah, your blog hasn't changed. You're being evasive. How many yes verdicts?

I think I've seen two, Biff, but there could be more hidden in the more lengthy responses, it's not always easy to tell. Some prefer to imply it rather than suffer the embarrassment of admitting it outright.

Is there some prerequisite that if you don't like him that you have to like her ?

Yes, molly, some things are self evident; in the same way as if you don't think Trump is doing a good job it means you are a lefty liberal something or other. You are obviously not reading enough Trump blogs or you would already know all this.

To my shame, I admit to not reading 99% of them

I generally frantically try to find a non-political blog stuck in the middle of the quagmire , and then give up when there is none.

Drain the blogs, drain the blogs, drain the blogs, drain the blogs...........

When blogs are drained, shoots of brand new plants coyly stick their nose above ground

Bo, nuff said

This is not an anti Trump blog, Bogart, it's a research project. I'm going to have to ask you to restrain yourself.

Riz, add some spices, heat it up, and call it mulled medicine

Are you sure you've picked up the right bottle, rizla? Medicine doesn't usually come in 75cl bottles, just as a rough guide.

I'd like to thank all the liberals who jumped in here and proved the point DrC and I were trying to make.

The point of ignoring the blog question and dragging in some hasbeen everyone else has forgotten?
