Fuck no.

He has memes that he hollers into the crowd.

Weirdest fucking ritual I've ever seen. Not sure when the blurred lines between rl and entertainment got so big that people actually started to believe that people like Trump can govern them. smh

Do I know about his policies? Yes.

Make Mexico pay for a wall (????). Dismantle Obamacare and make health care a free market ("By allowing full competition in this market, insurance costs will go down and consumer satisfaction will go up.".... ????). Bar Muslims from entering the US (????). Some sort of vague pro-life agenda, possibly incorporating a punishment for women who proceed with abortion (????). 

​His stance on foreign policy is basically "We're going to fuck up ISIS... Boots on the ground... Also fuck Palestine..."

That's a foreign policy drawn in crayon...

So do many of you know about his policies? It seems like people are focused on his bombastic behavior as a candidate.

Does he actually have detailed policies? Whenever I've seen him he's been hard at work not being very specific.

Well at least it proves he’s got two functional feet.   Which is a great deal more than being a slimy footless worm crawling on the altar of the sacred PC cow.

Obamacare? Yes, please fucking dismantle it. It is a complete failure. I say that as someone it is supposed to be helping. What I've gotten is ineffective health care, a more difficult time finding full-time work (exceptions so far: fiberglass plant, and a foundry).

I agree. I don't like obamacare. It's not the Canadian healthcare in anyway. It doesn't make healthcare free to AMERICAN CITIZENS ONLY. In Canada it is only given to citizens. It covers ALL fees. It's not about making it easier access. It's not about insurance. It's just you go there they never once ask you how much you earn and you get your diagnosis, treatment and help. It has a lot more differences that I don't know on the top of my head. It makes things worse for americans.

The thing about that is American's frown at socialism, and above the good that comes out of socialized healthcare, they view Obamacare as a tax. And it is no doubt. The only way to evade Obamacare is if an American citizen chooses to pay health insurance instead. Those who cannot afford health insurance are then slapped with Obamacare.

As for making healthcare a free market, yes it's possible. That's called "deregulation" and it's been done in North America with the energy sector. What happens in this case, is the larger pharmaceutical companies will buy in bulk and sell for cheaper in an attempt to outsell their competitors, this results in competitive pricing, as opposed to the regulations of retail pricing. It's cheaper than Obamacare, and if someone does get sick, well, it's best they have money set aside for this, but in the long run, it might still be cheaper, depending. Doctors will also be able to be competitive with their services. The one who do will be the most booked.

It needn't be written into any laws to know that abortion is first degree murder.

When you say Trump said "fuck Palestine" I can see that's some made up shit. The hell did you get that from ?

Trump is the only Republican interested in even attempting a peace deal between Israel and Palestine. He did say a lot of it has to do with Israel not wanting peace, that's true. Israel is a nasty lot. Parasitic to the US too. They have a powerful military, and they rely on the US for financial aid.

Trump's greatest policy begins with the China reform. 

China has so many US businesses outsourcing to them cause it's cheaper to manufacture things over there, but what happens is a lot of US money is leaving the country, that and the same money could have been used for jobs in US soil instead. China then takes the money they profit from, then loan it back to the US. Because of this, China is the US's largest shareholder at 10%.

It's not only China that has these kinds of deals where the US looses, The WTO's interests are put above the well being of American citizens. Hell, they even signed bills into law, where the FDA ( government branch ) has to comply with the wishes of the WTO. This is industry ruling government, that too has to change.

The US is broke, While the national debt limit keeps raising, it's time to start reversing this and start paying off some interest while bringing it down a trillion at a time, however long that process takes.

The man's a Machiavellian, and took effective PR stances as a businessman. So what? The Senate will be scrutinizing him relentlessly, and anyone competent at PR knows they have to be consistent. I would be surprised to see any vague statements around the Primaries.

Even Trump's polar opposite (Bernie Sanders) agrees on this.

Was about to type out something to that extent then i saw you spared me the trouble - thanks for that.     

 

Apart from this point perhaps:

though he doesn't have a sophisticated vocabulary

 

- you might be surprised. A lot of people might be caught surprised when Trump drops the homely & turns on the sleek & articulate “presidential” in the coming months.  

 As the saying goes, “bright can play stupid, but stupid can never play bright.”  

The donald is a man of many tongues, but more importantly he knows which one to pull for which scene.   He’s a dab hand with the “image”  -  and without pride or shame, i.e, thoroughly unperturbed by coming across as a crass oaf when oafishness is required to get the job done.  (That (among many other things) is a weak point of Sanders,  who could never bring himself to be seen as “uncouth”  or “loutish”, even if it’s totally counterproductive to his goals.)   

 

Heck, the whole mad hair / fake tan  charade is painstakingly engineered  (if you seen some episodes of Ugly Betty from beginning towards the finish,  YKWIM.   Take a succession of Trump press photos from cca. last June up to now.)   It’s a campaign quite fucking hilariously beautiful to behold.  

 

And what brought it upon America, it’s the same old The Emperor’s New Clothes story.   It was a complete, unfathomably absurd political vacuum filled with nothing but the purple haze of PC doctrine and byzantine levels of kultimarxist dogma and corporate corruption,  a monster hybrid of socio/cultural far-left and fiscal ultra-right.    

But you need sufficient independent wealth in order to be able pick that low-hanging fruit / state the obvious / reintroduce ’normalcy’ and common sense,  as if it was some novel revolutionary idea.
