Mustafa,
That's true. But every candidate for national office, and most other offices,
also obtain their office with the use of money. Our Supreme Court verified this
practise in 2010 with a landmark decision. But it has been the practise in the
US to use money in a variety of ways to secure the election of candidates. Of
course, Mr. Trump is an especially terrible president and his words and acts
have made things here much worse than they already were. But it is dishonest
for journalists to pretend that all of the terrible things that are happening
here are new and that they just began when Trump took office. His terrible
presidency is a result of trends that have been occurring here for decades, for
centuries. What bothers the journalists and many of the office holders and the
people who work in our security industry and the military, is that Trump is so
open about using power against other nations, about racism, about unbridled
capitalism. Smarter, more experienced politicians are subtler. They hide much
of what is done with fine speeches and a pretense at good intentions. Mr. Obama
talked about Democracy and respect for the Muslim world while, each Tuesday, he
presided over a meeting of officials who decided which people would be killed
with drone assasinations that week. But Mr. Obama was not insane. He was
intelligent, charming, and self interested. And he didn't want to become a
permanent dictator as Trum would like to be.

Miriam, I totally understand what you are saying. But, let us be fairly
factual, Trump bought everything with his money and with his charisma to
methodologically stultify people. Many people are not so educated in your
country and he certainly has taken advantage of that.

Mustafa,
This deserves a response, except there's just too much to respond to.
The reason that what you hear from the US mainstream media right now
is so focused on Trump's utterances and trivial observations regarding
what is happening in the world, is that most people in the US are as
outraged by what Mr. Trump says and how he behaves, as you are. He
doesn't represent the majority of Americans, nor the majority of white
people, nor the majority of white Protestant people. However, there
are enough people who think like he does, to have given him a majority
of votes in the electoral college. That isn't a majority of the
popular vote. There is something wrong with his mental processes which
is why he talks as he does. And it is why he is so easily manipulated
by the members of the US surveillance, military, and security
establishment. The fact is that most of our presidents have given in,
to some extent, to what the Military and the CIA want them to do.
Trump is, according to all the psychiatrists and psychologists who've
written about him, a "malignant marcassist so he really believes that
his needs are most important and he'll do whatever he thinks will show
his power and importance. He is a tool of the wealthiest and most corrupt
elements in this country.

Subject: [blind-democracy] Trump's last speech, unbelievable
After he was bore witness against by his ex special attorney at a
publicised congressional hearing, Trump callously assaults his
opponents in Maryland speech. Trump has launched a furious assault on
Special Counsel Robert Mueller and on his critics at a conservative
summit. In the longest and yet the most disdainful speech of his
unendowed presidency, Mr Trump railed against the inquiry into alleged
collusion between his campaign and Russia.
"We're waiting for a report by people who weren't elected," he told a
crowd of cheering conservatives. Mr Mueller is expected to hand in his
report to the attorney general shortly. "Unfortunately, you put the
wrong people in a couple of positions and they leave people for a long
time that shouldn't be there and all of a sudden they are trying to
take you out with bullshit, okay?" the president said. The speech -
clocking in at more than two hours - also included sharp attacks on
former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, former FBI head James Comey,
the Democratic Party and those critical of his approach to North Korea.
Whom did the president attack? Speaking at the Conservative Political
Action Conference in Maryland, Mr Trump lashed out at his detractors
in a wide-ranging speech.
"This is how I got elected, by being off script. And if we don't go
off script, our country is in big trouble, folks," he began. The
president repeatedly said that Mr Mueller had "never received a vote",
nor had Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Mr Mueller to
his position.
The president alleged Mr Mueller was "best friends" with former FBI
head James Comey, and mocked the accent of former attorney general Mr
Sessions, whom he fired in November. The president's attacks ranged
widely. He called the Green New Deal proposal - pitched by some
Democrats as a radical bid to combat climate change - "the craziest
plan", saying "when the wind stops blowing, that's the end of your
electric". After a series of deadly ardent remarks on immigrants who,
he said, must "love our country", Mr Trump said, "\We have people in
Congress that hate our country." "And you know that, and we can name
every one of them if you want," he said. In short, Trump's last speech
resembled Racism, Xenophobia, Belligerence and unjustified Pride in
their unbearably highest peak. As I said many times before, Trump
isn't himself the prob. The ones who cursedly spat and wholeheartedly cheer
to his implausibly despicable remarks are to be utterly extinguished.
Conservative white supremacists are his mainly pro protagonists. These
people are enormously imperious. Those are the ones who damnably
brought that hellion to oval office in Washington D.C.. I have problem
with those who enthusiastically applaud to his intemperately
intolerable remarks. They love him so much because he says and does
what they like. Honestly, I just couldn't put up with this plain
impudence. They never spat and cheer but to something that is dreadfully
racialist, xenophobic or generically absonant.
How are those supposedly coming from the leading nation of democratic
and multicultural descent? This alleged statement has to be redressed.
This demonic provoker is relentlessly besieged with idiots. And as to
his language, he speaks the language of American public, which is
relevantly colloquial but also, well, just quite crude and
disgraceful. They surely like him speaking as they do, always rude,
awless and radically vicious. How is this the manner of what is
suppose to be the leading entity of the democratic world? I'm
substantially incensed at the west for bearing to be led and blindly
pulled toward any direction that is to serve American interest. It's
if as they're attached to them with magnetic impact. Donald Trump
isn't the problem at all. The ones who volitionally brought him to us
are. They indicate approval of everything he says and does. So, they
concur with his racialist and immensely xenophobic disposal. They approvedly
cheer Islamophobia, insolence and deliberately escalated religious secernment.
Trump allegedly says about himself and on behalf of his supporters,
"We believe in religious liberty". Could he dare to allow Muslims to
speak freely on his podium? I challenge him to do so. Trump's platform
is full of hate rhetoric, religious discrimination and xenophobic
tendency. He unprovably associates crime with immigrants,
discriminatively referring to them as, "illegal aliens". This man is
insane. This is someone who doesn't respect anyone. He doesn't one to
share the nation's leadership. This is someone who perennially displaces
those who were so loyal to him yesterday.
This is someone who shamelessly mocks accents of people.
What an awful guy. The term incompetent is absolutely the slightest to
describe him. I'm not going to tolerate the Trump like temperament
brought by anyone therein. White Protestants have to recognise
something, the game is wholly exposed. Seriously, the game is wholly
exposed and they won't ever be able to get Islam out of our hearts.
Whether they use Religious cover or the lack of to subdue us, we
remain stiffly defiant in the face of impervious imperialism and
cultural manipulation. If they are willing to communicate
respectfully, they are welcome. Otherwise, just go to hell. I will
continue to be fiercer on coercively imposed American conservative
union. Pass this on to people who're standing alongside this approach.
It is time to break silence and speak frankly. I'm not willing to be
submissive to this sort of de facto situation. The United States has
to choose between Trump's intolerable belligerence and be flawlessly
ostracised, or, to dispose him and reconnect to the world. They are
going to determine their ultimate destiny in the next election. You
may constantly recall this, the world isn't at your possession. Just
remember this last sentence properly.
