Well, each and everyone knows for sure what it means to be an American
citizen settling abroad in the current circumstances. Americans chose
for themselves. No one coerced them to go to Iraq. I knew it was
Bush's decision however, he didn't go there on his own. You may look
at polls prior to launching airstrikes on Iraq versus what people said
afterward. Double standard is practiced all the time. Likewise are
Egyptians, when Sisi committed the ungracious coup against an elected
government, people stood with him in his oppression. Now, people hate
him not because he murders and imprisons innocents, but because their
economic status has substantially exacerbated in his era. So, nations
are mostly disingenuous until things go against their private
interest. All what we think of as people is food, proper job and
shelter. People do not chant anti government sentiment because it is
corrupted or because it imposes subjection. We only despise them when
things worsen on our side. Note though, I do not fend for the
brotherhood party, I just destined to utter the truth.

That's true. There are blind people who are Trump supporters. They are
misguided. All of the working people and middle income people who voted for
him and who still support him are deluded, and they don't understand what is
in their own interests. And it isn't only Evangelical Christians. However,
if the Democratic Party had been concerned about the needs of the majority
of people in the US, rather than with pleasing its wealthy supporters, Bill
Clinton would have been a different kind of President. We wouldn't have had
a George W. Bush. We wouldn't have had a 9/11 attack or an Iraq war. Our
history might have been very different and Donald Trump would never have had
a chance to be elected.

Miriam, Donald Trump is broadly idolised among white southern evangelists.
There are plenty of pro Trump protagonists within blind faith folks.

the BARD Talk list because of the announcement of Woodward's book,
Fear, first being on Bookshare and then yesterday, on BARD. I have my
own criticisms of all these books but these people just refuse to
believe what the books report. First it was Michael Wolff's book, now this
one.

It would be interesting to peek into Donald Trumps mind and see what
he thinks of America's Blind Citizens. The following note could give
us a hint.

President Donald Trump allegedly ordered an architect not to include
braille in Trump Tower elevator panels because "no blind people" would
live in his building—even after being informed that excluding the
tactile writing system is against federal law.
The alleged interaction was recounted by Barbara Res, who led
construction at the Trump Organization, in an opinion piece in the New
York Daily News on Wednesday.
"What's this?" Trump, noticing the small raised dots, reportedly asked
the architect who went to his office to show what the residential
elevator interiors would look like.
"Braille," the architect responded.
Trump apparently demanded that the architect take the feature out.
"We can't," the architect replied. "It's the law."
"Get rid of the [expletive] braille. No blind people are going to live
in Trump Tower," Trump shouted, according to Res. "Just do it."
The architect pushed back, making Trump yet more mad. The future
president also apparently called the architect weak, considered
architects and engineers to be weak unlike construction workers, and
enjoyed tormenting weak people.
Trump ordered "outrageous or just plain stupid ideas, both legal and
illegal. Sometimes those lines were blurred," Res wrote.
