This will not matter if he selects a competent support staff that he listens to and heeds.

Heh. With that caveat, you could elect a chimp* president.

Trump has never demonstrated a willingness, or even an ability, to listen to or heed others.

An authoritarian and a supremely gifted individual in his own eyes, why would he ever listen to a support staff? In his eyes, the are all inferior to him, let alone women and minorities.

More posts that should be on the Trump thread. Not helping with setting the thread record.

How many of these stupid kids wearing Che shirts realize their guy was a total racist, I wonder?
How about Obama? You think he understands Che hated blacks?

...and thus is written yet another surface, unstudied characterization and inaccurate description of Trump. Additional evidence that there's more hysteria and hyperbole surrounding this candidate than objective analysis.

This question implies that President Obama somehow admires or even reveres Che. Do you have any evidence to support that?

And then there's this.

You're correct, and in a thread that I started, no less.

Earlier in this thread, it was observed that Che is a fashion statement. To the extent that's true, a communist revolutionary who put folks in gulag - style work camps and killed with impunity can only become a "fashion statement" when there's a complete lack of any education about who someone is and what they stand for.

Yes, I'd say a link to an internet page the provides a "page not found" error is the perfect commentary on our president.

Did you miss the first post in this thread? A picture like that, particularly in context with the circumstances it was taken, is all that needs to be said.
