Re: President Donald J. Trump
Trump has fulfilled a lot of his promises. Unfortunately, those promises were divisive and racist and pandered to an angry white racist sexist uneducated fearful minority.

He also promised all sorts of things he completely ignored after taking office. He promised to lower taxes for the middle class and raise them for the rich. He promised a “terrific” health care plan that would cover everyone at a lower cost. He even promised to release his tax returns after a “routine audit” was complete.
So let’s not give him credit for any kind of integrity. Even reverse integrity.

Yeah, how's that infrastructure plan coming along?

or the war on opioids?
look, moving on California (like a bitch) because it passed Net Neutrality law - this is the sort of thing that the TRUMP admin. can be relied on to do.
"populist" promises are cans to kick down the road. the corporate agenda is the main event with more than enough Heritage Foundation / Mike Pence checkboxes checked to keep the evangelicals happy and pliant.

I don't. Over half the voters in the UK went all in for Brexit. It feels like another side of the same coin. This massive feeling that cooperation is bullshit, that foreigners are scary and awful, and that everyone needs to be in it for themselves.

Re: President Donald J. Trump
Yeah, I get that.
But Trump-hate is across the board here. He's seen as a clown, at best, even by staunch Tories or Brexiteers. It's not like in the US, where you have a fairly clear Liberal/reactionary (for want of a better term) division. We just dislike the man as an entity, someone who represents the very worst of American excess and stupidity.

He inherited his Daddy’s gumption and avoided paying taxes on it.

His plebian cult are predictably attempting to spin this as another example of his impressive business acumen: Income taxes are illegal, screw the IRS, etc.
Re: President Donald J. Trump
From the NY Times article:
Clearly a financial guru, right?
By age 3, Mr. Trump was earning $200,000 a year in today’s dollars from his father’s empire. He was a millionaire by age 8.

I read the whole NY Times article yesterday afternoon when it came out.
MSNBC host, Stephanie Ruhle, who has a financial background was funny and commented that any dolt would have been able to convert Trump's dad's investments into $10 billion dollars.
Instead, his daddy had to bail out his businesses successive times.
My constant refrain is, "Who loses money on casinos?" It's like building a fucking mint. The only other sure thing is starting an insurance company, another way to mint money, but I'm sure that was too boring for Trump.

Re: President Donald J. Trump
Here is George Clooney’s response after Trump accused him of being a "Hollywood elite."
Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years.
So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.
People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble?
He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people!
When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction.
He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff. I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!

To be fair, I'm sure Trump had to deal with lots of mafia owned concrete companies.

Re: President Donald J. Trump
that's a great letter but guys like Right Wing Dad will never consider Clooney's point of view. the Republican base has gone completely feral. they have no interest in finding common ground with sissies like me and George Clooney.

You're right.
Last night, my son went somewhere with a friend whose dad is a Trump fan. My son said his friend's dad was going on and on about how Kavanaugh was getting screwed.
I don't think half these people even watch Fox News but get their "truth" straight from the horse's mouth. Of course, Fox just closes that feedback loop, but I don't know why Republicans are riding this horse. Trump's base isn't smarter, but Republican politicians are.
Their names will be a black stain in history books and I don't know how they can't see that.
Maybe I'm giving them too much credit, but it seems pretty obvious.
