Plus an egotistic mindset and compulsory lying? Ideal American head of state found boys, call the interior designers!
Quite the list if you care to read it. Shocking he’s been nominated, then again Hilary isn’t great either. Politics in the US (and the UK actually) has completely gone down the shitter, awash with a sea of un-electable, spineless or cretinous candidates.

Trump is a sexist bigot with harsh views on anyone who he thinks says Boo to uncle Sam .
This makes him a normal well balanced American male !
Not sure theres enough of them to get him across the winning line but the apathy towards Hilary from Hispanic, Black,left ish Voters might just change that !
God help us all !

I’ve briefly looked at it already. i’ve also clicked the links in the article and gone straight to a couple of the videos. what i will say is this with regards to bombing women and children.
Firstly, i will never ever condone the bombing of women and children, but at the same time Trump does have a point about family members being aware of other family members about to carry out a terrorist attack.don’t we in the west hold those who are guilty after the fact equally as guilty?
To be clear, i personally believe the wars need to end immediately and just get the fuck out of the middle east, cut off all funding to terrorist groups, and quit calling them moderates. they are what they are, and our govts made them who they are today.
It was not a wise thing for Trump to say, not in the least.
BTW, anyone seen the news about the DNC leaked emails. the consensus is that Russia hacked the DNC. Bernie supporters are pissed!
Trump is a narcissist. He’s going to do whatever makes it appear that Trump is getting things done. He will sign those Republican bills because then he can brag about how great he is and how he told you he’d get things done. And Trump doesn’t give a crap about the LGBT community. He only brought it up to fear monger over Muslims and terrorism. The fact is that Trump has expended a lot of energy courting anti-gay pastors and activists, he chose one of the most virulently anti-gay politicians in the country as his running mate and he is running on the most anti-gay platform ever produced by a major American political party.
The truth is that Trump has gotten this far because of the reality TV culture of the United States. Unthinking people are easily seduced by the Cult of Personality he brings to the campaign. And he plays on the worst instincts of humanity – fear, greed, envy, hatred, nationalism, xenophobia – just Mussolini and other fascists did a century earlier. In modern terms, he reminds me of Silvio Berlusconi. Authoritarian politicians always play on fear and resentment.

I want Trump just to see what happens

I don’t know if any of you are following, but currently my country is embroiled in the world’s biggest financial scandal. Just google 1MDB. The US Department Of Justice has recently filed a civil lawsuit against some of the alleged perpetrators, one of which is the Prime Minister’s stepson. The Prime Minister himself wasn’t specifically named a defendant but instead the lawsuit made mention to a certain ‘Malaysian Official 1’ (definitely some cover up there, mind you our PM has been in very good terms with the Obama administration).
Currently, there is a widespread rumour going on that a prominent lawyer was sent by our Prime Minister to offer $500 million more of our stolen money to Clinton’s campaign team, in return for dropping the case in 1MDB.
I was never really a fan of Trump to begin with, but if the Clintons or the Democrats are sleeping in the same bed with Mr. Malaysian Official 1, then they are definitely not trustworthy people as far as I’m concern, and the American people is better of risking on Trump who may or may not turn out to be decent.

Sorry, but it’s not a videogame. We are talking about the most powerful country in the world. Just asking Russia to spy Clinton shows you the guy is very dangerous.

Everyone is fucked.
US politics affects everyone, not just US.
and Neither of those two candidates are inspiring.
On one hand, you have someone who seems expert in corruption.
On other hand, you have a lunatic, who would probably nuke North Korea the next time Kim throws an empty threat.
It was fun to laugh at US all this while but now it is getting scary.

It’s kind of crazy that the choice of leader of the United States is either a pathological liar with a history of shady deals in Clinton and a bigot with no concept of diplomacy whatsoever in Trump.

That’s what you get when really only having two parties to vote for. It triggers the greed for power and money, because the winner really takes it all. With more parties though, there’s more likely for a situation where compromise is needed. That’s not always a good thing, but more equal for me (in theory atleast). To say that the USA is the worlds “biggest democracy” is rather ridiculous. In size, yes. In being the most democratic, no. That’s just a self made title.
His comments backing Russia to hack the Democrats emails basically sums this whole election up

Nobody knows for sure who’s hacking the DNC emails. the consensus is that it is Russia, but it could very easily be the Chinese.
But that’s a distraction anyways. it’s no good obsessing on who did what and why, and who wants what, the fact is it’s happened. the real focus should be the contents of the emails. such as the democrats stealing the votes and nomination from Sanders.
I don’t like Sanders because the man is a sell out who does not stand by what he believes in. his endorsement of that criminal-Clinton should be enough for any Sanders supporter to abandon him forever. and i especially don’t like socialists, but the fact is the emails show that Sanders has had the democratic vote stolen from him. the party with “democracy” in it’s name has shown itself to be anything but democratic.
This is not meant to be read as a pro-Trump/Republicans post. i’m just someone who doesn’t want to see the number one super power go down the drain for obvious reasons, i have no idea if Trump can be trusted, all i know is that if Trump doesn’t win, Hillary will win, as we can see, she is as corrupt as they come and cannot be trusted, PERIOD!

The whole process is rigged. That’s why there are only two parties. Big business and banks fought for years to make a two party system and when the United States started using the Australia ballot, that was the nail in the coffin. Given, that’s about 125 years ago now but still lol. Maybe the two best options for president can’t even get on every states ballot. Jill Stein would be the best choice at this point and she’s on the ballot in only 11 states ffs.
Recently on reddit, someone asked if they would have Obama for third term if given an option.
The response was unanimous yes, especially from people who previously criticised Obama.
