“as one market watcher exclaimed "something's f**king broken."

Nooooooo Kidding.   Everything is broken.  To quote a ZH poster years ago and it’s only more magnified now

 

Everything is backwards, everything is upside down. Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, psychiatrists destroy minds, scientists destroy truth, major media destroys information, religions destroy spirituality and governments destroy freedom.”

Remarkable?

 
Quote

I worked with a woman once who complained non-stop about her husband.  He was mean, lazy, useless, insensitive, uncaring, incompetent.  Everything about him was bad.  I thought, "Poor woman. The husband sure has problems."

Then one week I ended up working for the husband on an engineering project.  Amazing guy.  Taking the kids to camp.  Building his wife a greenhouse.  Making dinners for the family.  Helping charities.  But clearly unloved and trying so hard.

That's when I realized that it was the wife with the problem, not the husband.  

When I saw the media claiming EVERYTHING about Trump was bad, I remembered this story.  It was an immediate red flag to me and showed that the media had the problem, not Trump.  Unfortunately, most young voters are being brainwashed into believing that Trump is Hitler and that nothing he does is good.  Critical thinking is not even permitted in their group-think social circles.

the problem with that is that actually no one has anything good to say about him.  Not his wives, mistresses or victims of sexual harassment and/or assault.

 

Everything he has "achieved" has been on someone else's dime and usually resulted in someone else being bilked or disadvantaged (as is the way in Manhattan real estate and the gambling industry).  Self-serving and to advance his own profits and prosperity.  Not really the profile of a model politician (although not by any means an uncommon one).

 

In fact, anyone who has anything good to say about the man usually is in support of one of his hateful undertakings.  They think it's a good thing to fuck up diplomatic relations and sever ties with previously friendly nations.  They think immigrants don't deserve any better than having their families split up and their babies sleeping in cages like animals.

 

So tell me, where is the Trump in this scenario who is the misunderstood, henpecked model father?  What good has he done for anybody but himself, ever?  When has he acted in our collective interest, for the greater good?  I suppose that, like everything else in politics, is subjective.  But when the greater good comes at such a human cost, how can anyone pretend he is one of the good guys?  Liberals raising taxes on the privileged to pay teachers' salaries and fund access to low-cost health care facilities is not the same thing as putting babies in cages.

And before anyone chimes in with a BSAB argument, I was not that much of an Obama fan either.  He never shut down Guantanamo and I still do not forgive him for it.  Among other things I was always skeptical and in hindsight remain unimpressed.  But he did at least have a history of community advocacy behind him.  There were at least a couple of things on his resume that weren't undertaken for the sole service of his own bank account and/or business dealings.

 

What has the Don done for the figurative kids?  Serious question.  Saving hillbillies a couple of cents a year in taxes so they can de-fund Planned Parenthood doesn't count.

I honestly don't know what came over me.  Maybe election year is getting to me and I'm really scared Trump is going to be re-elected.  I have typed out his name probably fewer than five times in the last four years.  Gaberlunzi can't even vote in the US + other reasons why writing in here was basically pointless.  sigh...

Not pointless,just a verification wes Geistes Kind you are.

Trump may not be a kind soul and be everything you said, but he prevented ww3 for the last 4 years (so far) which I'm almost think would have happened. Besides, what the opposition offered was and IS not much better in the character picture. As one who has been in local politics for more than a decade, I could sing a song of defamation. I can extrapolate to Trump's or any other national figure and bet I would not be far off with a fair judgement. However, things are as they are and whatever happens does not affect me that much anymore as I know my days are numbered. Only, I would like to not see a ww3 in my last days, WW2 was enough.(for your sake and all people)

Okay, then I'll post a comment: he's an anti-vax conspiracy theorist and a complete quack. He is directly responsible for people dying, because they (apparently like you) believed in his quack therapies.

 

You're either extremely naive, mind-blowingly stupid, or intentionally malicious for posting it. Perhaps all of the above.

 

Read all about him here.

I'm not as one track minded as you are. For you it is my way or the highway, but then when you are paid for your opinion, what can you expect?

Go back home and learn some manners.

Is anyone with a US citizenship considering abandoning it?  I voted via mail but I'm not so certain my navigational correction will stir change there.  Maybe I've been stuck here too long but things there seem messed up.

Really scared that you will find out that it has been the Democrats all along that have been colluding with every dictator and his dog all along?

Don´t worry. Trump has this in the bag. Things will continue to get better for the average Joe ( LOL pun ). Some coastal elites seem to hate the idea.
