We are probably getting the same shallow narcissistic petty tyrant that had that shitty selfserving propaganda show.

AH, people do like to confess. Deception gets wearisome, we want to be ourselves and loved (or at least forgiven) for it. SO, you confess, you love Big Trump.

We knew.

That's a plus.
Question: who does Trump hate? Who's adulation does he crave? Con men hate their marks. Trump will want what he does not have--the admiration and respect of the rich, the educated, the upper class, the ones who now, you say, hate him.

You haven't the foggiest what he will actually do on these things. How could you? He doesn't.

Supreme court? Who knows. I will say that Obamas master strategy of not making a recess appointment sure backfired didn't it?

I like the fact that he will be a strong leader. Obama, the great conciliatory accommodator got us nowhere. I like Obama. He's handsome, charismatic, cool, smart, but he's a push over.
You like Trump, you don't like Obama. Got it.

Heh. The tax plan is what shows whose friend he is. He needed cash during the campaign (yes he did), and the price he paid to get it was to publicly commit to this revealing plan. This is the big man brought to heal.

I also think he's probably an Atheist. I think that thing where he said the Bible was his favorite book was total fucking bullshit, which is fine by me.
You project what you want onto him.

You're the sort who likes Big Men, that's all.

Wrong both times, I think.

Let's see where we are in four years, then see about medals.

So John Bolton is on tap, thank God that warmonger Hitlery didn't get in.
And, if Trump recoils from the unanticipated responsibilities and abdicates, you have your antiestablishment champions Pence and Priebus running the OO. Congrats!

"Jetzt muss er liefern", as we say in German, literally - now he must deliver. (For example jobs, jobs, jobs... By the way, does America have already enough Autobahnen?)

But he has nothing to deliver but soap bubbles.

Marketing paves the way. And marketing's ability to shape and control is at the heart of American Fascism.

A few more, and their size and number have been growing for a while.

Our autobahnen need renovation and upgrading, as does so much else. We can't do it with tax cuts, but people would rather vote tax cuts and complain about shabby crumbling infrastructure.

Don't worry. Under the Trump administration tax cuts will be for only the wealthy. We still have enough middle class to carry the burden.

Tax cuts, and rebuilding infrastructure, repeal ACA, anything to keep the wealthy from paying their fair share which is the GOP credo.
2+2=4
What's that leave as far as paying for it? Either increase taxes on the working poor, the unemployed dumbasses who voted for dump. Or, making their children pay for it with increasing our national debt. (to China)
