Trump. And why I hate him.

Greetings Alan,

You can call him uncivil (preferably with substantiation), but you can't be uncivil yourself when speaking here (e.g. "shithead losers").

For more info, see the guidelines for the News section.



Metta,

Maybe when he said President Obama was born in Africa, that was uncivil, right?
Or when he said Mexicans are rapists. Seem pretty uncivil.
Or, when he degraded everyone around him, in order to feed his perverse narcissism. Which he does every day. How anyone can look at this and not be disgusted is the real question.

Not everyone is a drama queen.

Well Trump sure is a drama queen!!

[alan]

I'd say he is a psychopathic liar and a delusional narcissist. "Drama Queen" is too easy. This guy is a total wreck of a human being. How anyone cannot see that in one tenth of a second astounds me. But, many things people believe also astound me in their stupidity.

Greetings,

I won money on a bet that Trump would be elected People are too predictable.

Likewise. It's the only time I've ever bet any money on anything other than a few dollars on the Melbourne Cup horse race.

Metta,
Paul.

Me too, I generally don't like betting - but when you can see the dynamic which creates these events, well, I couldn't pass it up. I should have bet 10,000x what I did.

Being genuinely non-partisan gives a distinct advantage in political betting markets.

I too actually won 40$ if I am not mistaken. 10$ with a multiply of 4.

[alan]

My prediction was that people would not be so stupid, but I was wrong.
Not sure what make me more upset--my wrongness, or the stupidity of people.
No, change that. I'm ok with being wrong sometimes. But I so hate stupidity.

alan,
for you it is "wrongness"....for others it is "stupiditiy".....looks like a double standard.

Complaining about Trump the way you do is what a drama queen does.

[lyndon taylor]

At least Alan's not delusional about Trump, Trump is a real and present menace to democracy as we know it, not only in the USA but in the world in general!!

I think it's silly already that it's apparently up for debate whether politics is compatible with Buddhism, but hatred? Cmon. You should know that animosity does no good. Actually, it's evil.

Throughout Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and after his election victory, lobbyists for the fossil fuel industry felt confident the new president would be on their side. Given his penchant for unpredictability, though, industry officials still needed to see the new president in action before they gave him their official seal of approval.

So far, Trump is passing with flying colors. ...

Greetings,

What?... Back to hating Trump, and ignoring the Buddha's instructions regarding hatred and aversion?



Ironic given how some regard "hate" speech...

Metta,
Paul.

So far, Trump is passing with flying colors. ...

Is this suggesting there was no US fossil fuel exploration & industry, including fracking for tight gas, under Obama?

Read it and see for yourself. Come back and tell others, too, if you like.
