Contrast Obama’s life and accomplishments to Trumps.
His second term in office and we still have not seen his college records?
Has there every been a POTUS who hasn’t had summer jobs or who had such a mystery background.
He became a jr Senator i believe using dirty tactics. Didn’t vote while in the senate...then came out of nowhere to become the President of the US?
Then got reelected?
He has been in the minority on everything he has done while president and yet got almost everything he pushed?
The so called Republicans gave him token resistance but gave in every step of the way?
Really, i am not sure we are not in a dictatorship already?
We will know in a little over a year.
We all know Trumps background, maybe more than we would like to know, but it is there for all to see.
Trump can point to his accomplishments.
Now, how much will he be able to do as President. That is always the question. Even Cruz, who is a real constitutional scholar, will meet with resistence.
Will i can’t say i am not nervous about Trump. I am nervous about whoever the next President will be.
Will i cant say i am not nervous about Trump. I am nervous about whoever the next President will be.
Again, the lesson of the “strong man” in the link in the OP is really the core point of the creation of this thread. Trump’s rise just made it more poignant to me as of late. It is a real risk in every country, and in every generation. It’s a bigger risk now because of the times in which we live, just as the Germans put their confidence in a “strong man” in the early 30’s because of the times in which they lived and their country’s needs. Eventually he grew beyond their control. And who even knows what HIS motives were at first?
We must always beware the strong man and, more importantly, CREATING one ourselves. All men are fallible. Trump may be GREAT! But we need to keep our heads. We don’t want to be like the young man that marries the really hot “bit**” because, well, she’s just so HOT and it will be great.
Except it isn’t.
