  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
  • In his detailed account of Donald Trump’s astonishing political success, Johnston, an award-winning New York Times investigative journalist and currently a columnist for USA Today, looks closely at Trump’s business practices, his associates, and his family background. Johnston sheds light on many of Trump’s beliefs, delving into his father’s Ku Klux Klan involvement and into Trump’s own ties with organized crime, as well as laying out how Trump has actually managed real estate, run casinos, and experienced numerous bankruptcies even while amassing huge wealth.

    This was astonishingly prophetic! David Cay Johnston really nailed the future Presidency of Trump for what it has become. It’s frightening that so much was known about Trump’s financial entanglements and his chronic narcissism well before the Presidential election. Johnston’s research and predictive wisdom was spot-on.

Our only hope is that tRump (deservedly) lands in prison for the rest of his life and gets permanently gagged. As long as he's alive and free, he poses a clear and present danger to society and the country.

    "Its hard to win an argument with a smart person, its impossible to win an argument with a stupid person." Bill Murray
    This describes how cemented the Faithful are in their beliefs and won over by conservatives for their gullibility. They substitute Faith at the expense of Reality. Faith licenses them to believe what and however their base ambitions and instincts instruct . Then they defend them with a repulsive "self righteousness" that they were instructed was theirs to wield.

      The mental gymnastics done by far right Christians is worthy of study both by religious leaders and psychologists. Donald Trump has been found to lie on matters great and small on a regular basis. Fact checkers have documented over 1000 falsehoods told by Trump since he was elected to office. He has had many extramarital affairs. He is cruel and espouses a policy of maximum cruelty at our southern border. Separating babies and young children from their parents and then instructing their guards to withhold any kindness or compassion from these children will solve nothing. Instead it will cause deep and lasting psychological damage to innocent children. This is not the United States our fathers and grandfathers fought for during two world wars. When did the American people start to accept policies that are in essence nothing less than child abuse? I am not religious but I have studied the major religions. What sort of god asks followers to hurt or doing lasting harm to innocent children?

      The condescending robotic style attacks, like those here, are only a testament to those making the attacks. Claiming the high road by claiming others do the same for their belief in God, as stated, “the Faithful”, is some kind of bad characteristic. After being raised by a liberal, and witnessing these mind gymnastics throughout my childhood. The victim claims, vilification of those with different views, etc, I realised, I could not be a participant in the bullying, twisting of facts, and justifications of cruel acts, like killing babies, by liberal progressives. I’m not religious, I just have a moral standard that liberal style group think, does not meet.
      The vile attacks this speaker makes, by assuming he knows another’s thoughts and feelings, is a standard in this wicked manner of thinking and acts. I left the Democrat Party. I claim no party. I claim no religion. I do claim rights to and pursuit of truth and justice. None of which can be found within the speaker and his supporters.

      Then, some are going up, some are going down, etc and so on, but anyway, those whole stupid entertainments, sports, movie, tv, fake media, fast-foods, fat diets, poor educations, are all full-filled to their mindset to all first generation to 2nd 3rd 4 Th. Generations..And losing critical thinking which is most important. And time flies, My point here is for them, there is NO TIME to think of culture, society, and what is the meaning of human being existing. That's what exactly the system want us to be.

    People who like and defend Trump have to ask themselves, what is my motivation? Do you admire a man for the size of his wallet? (Trump has negative liquidity, his businesses and properties are leveraged to the hilt, and he owes the banks millions). Do you admire his hutzpah? He has cojones, to be sure, but most bullies do (until confronted). His celebrity? He is a showman and a two-bit actor. His looks? Really? His mob connections? His lying? What is it about Trump that so many people (not all of them "deplorables") like or admire? There is nothing there but an empty suit, a prop, a billboard for the bankers who finance him, and a sounding board for those who have deep seated hatred and anger in their hearts, racists, misogynists, and folks with little or no empathy, imagination or curiosity. Trump will go down in history as one of the worst despots in US history, and his grandchildren and future generation will bear the stain of his deplorable, sociopathic legacy.

      Picasso_Dalí You have nailed this perfectly, and you're​ very smart because you actually get the point. I would only add to what you've excellently​ stated...
      The most dangerous person to the Corporate Plutocracy is the person who'll find the answers they need to arrive at the truth and can think for themselves. They never have to go along with the collective narrative because they use sound judgement in all their decisions.
      None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe that they are Free...
      The Men the American people most admire are the daring Liars and Criminals; the Men they detest are the ones who try to tell them the Truth...
      The only difference between the two Corporate Political Parties is the velocity with which their knees hit the floor when the Corporations​, Military Industrial Complex, the K Street Lobbyists, and AIPAC come knock at their proverbial door.
      Any American honest with themselves and values good common sense has to honestly ask, How is it that we can entrust the underlying problems confronting the United States to those who are complicit in their creation?!
