The 2016 Election

Ghoulish Delight · 12-07-2016, 05:29 PM

And while we're at it, let's talk reckless tweeting threatening the stock of a major American employer. Reckless foreign policy moves clearly made out of ignorance. Reckless undermining of the Democratic process with unfounded lies about fraud. Empty repudiation of a neo-Nazi movement while maintaining one of their figureheads as his adviser. Empty smoke screen of firing Flynn's SON for tweeting stupid dangerous conspiracy theories, but keeping Flynn who ALSO tweeted the SAME stupid dangerous conspiracy theory. Appointment of mortgage-exchange billionaire to oversee our economy. To name just the absurd bull**** I can come up with off the top of my head. Too much to remember it all easily.

And we're only at week -7 of his reign.

Trump is a child with no moral center. His only goal is self aggrandizement and he's handing out favor and power to anyone who will stroke his ego. His "nationalism" extends only as far as it profits him (either economically or in TV ratings), and as he's already telegraphing a 'leadership' style which will be all about enjoying the center-ring in the circus while passing off as much actual work as possible to other people. People who have outrageous agendas that explicitly reject rational thought and empirical data since anyone who doesn't fit that description has no desire to feed his delusion.

I admit this is my opinion of him. This was the first election that I did not vote Republican. I think of a spoiled rich kid who grew up longing for the approval of his absentee father. Then, after being on the top of his own corporate ladder for so long, he hungered for more power and gave this politics thing a shot. Everyone laughed and didn't take it seriously, and now he's got what he wanted, *shudder*... the most powerful man in the world.

I only hope and pray that I'm wrong.
