Donald Trump Is A Real Asshole, Isn’t He?
by Cookie
I am too tired today to have any nice and fluffy thoughts about anything of importance and there is fuck all in the news to amuse me either. Unless you count the fact that Donald Trump won a whole shit ton of primaries last night and looks to really be on his way to winning the Republican nomination.
Is this really a thing that might happen?
Seriously. With all the blatant racist and sexist remarks, all the inflammatory comments and ridiculous antics, could this man actually make a real run for the American Presidency? It sort of feels like a big stupid joke.
But is it?
Trump is a real asshole. But somehow, like the Devil himself, he as figured out a way to make us love hating him. He has figured out a way to say “You know, I’m a real dick. I hate Mexicans and Muslims and I think women are useless bitches. But I speak enough of the tiniest bit of truth, or at least enough of what those tiny little voices fueled by fear and greed whisper to us all in our hearts to make you believe what I’m saying”.
He’s quite fucking brilliant, actually.
Now do I think he’s gonna become the next President of the USA? Nope. Do I think he should be? No fucking way.
But I think Trump actually has a super important role to play. He has a purpose besides the shock factor and entertainment value of watching him speak.
I am very convinced that Hilary Clinton will win the Democratic nomination. And that makes me super happy. I was a huge fan of her husband, and I feel like part of the reason Bill was as good as he was was because he had a brilliant woman behind and beside him.
I think Donald Trump being such a crazy reckless fucktard is gonna make Hilary better than she would have been otherwise. She is going to work that much harder to make sure she is the antidote to Trump. She is going to have to listen harder to regular people and forget that she comes from a life of privellege and wealth in order to out-compete him.
Because say what you will about The Donald. He is a brilliant, successful businessman with a lot of supporters out there. The media is eating his shit up and despite some of the vile things that come out of his mouth he is absolutely charming as hell.
And people are so super stupid that they fall for shit like that all the time.
But if I said it once, I said it a million times: People who are charming are being so in order to hide something from you. Whether it be lack of competence, or knowledge, or simply undesirable character traits. People use charm to manipulate you into thinking they are something they are not.
And if anybody actually thinks that Donald Trump gives one rats ass about anybody besides Donald Trump they are being fooled. He may want to “make America great again” but only for his own pockets.
He’s a real ripe asshole. Sorry, American friends. Good luck.
**hangs head in shame** I abhor the whole damn lot of them. If I – and most of the folks I speak with daily – had our way, we’d stamp “REJECTED” on the entire lot and send them back for replacement with something decent. There is no good choice here. That’s the awful bitter pill to swallow.

It’s now more than ever that I’m so happy I’m Canadian. It’s hard to feel sorry for America as there are too many fucking morons actually voting for Trump and allowing this to happen. I definitely feel sorry for those who have a brain and want to quit America because of all this shit.
Thankfully, none of my American friends are voting for him. And if they did, they would lose my vote in FRIENDSHIP.

I am also thankful to be Canadian. But could you imagine Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump sitting down to negotiate trade and policies? Jesus.

Honestly I would have to go Bernie before Hillary. I actually like Bill, but she is a different story. Trump is just saying what too many people in this country think, and I can’t even tell you how many people I’ve “unfriended” on the Facebook for spewing his racist, sexist bullshit.
I don’t vote, because I feel like living in Kansas, there’s no point. There have only been 6 times out of all the elections, when Kansas’ electoral votes have gone to anyone other than a Republican. And, I can’t vote in the primary, because I don’t claim a party affiliation.
If they would do away with the electoral college and go to a popular vote, then you bet your ass I’d be there. Otherwise, my opinions fall on deaf ears.

I don’t understand the American system at all. it’s like you have a pre-vote for a pre-vote before the election. And then the election. Where the popular vote counts for shit.
You’re right. What the hell is the point?

Maybe the system made sense years ago when people lived miles and miles away from civilization and counting popular votes would have been near impossible, but it doesn’t work anymore. It’s antiquated bullshit, and there’s no reason for it.

Good luck? We’re going to need it if he is the GOP candidate. Even more if he wins, because this country is really up a creek without a paddle then.

It sure is. Maybe I should have said “America, don’t fuck it up.”

Honesty, I don’t think he has a chance even if he gets the nomination. The Democratic candidate will probably crush him. I’ll vote third party before I vote for him.

putting a wanker like Trump in command of the most powerful country in the world – with his finger on the nuclear trigger – is a frightening prospect for all of us, wherever we live !!!

Yeah I so hope he doesn’t win. Voters have done worse. The thing with these sort of candidates (we’ve had them in AUS too) is they highlight how little progression we really are making. It is like there are so many people out there being all PC with their views and someone like Trump comes along and gives them permission to drop the charade and whoosh, the ugliness comes out and we take two steps back on our little walk of progression *sigh*

one of the most dispiriting things about Trump’s bid to be the Republican candidate for the USA Presidency is the revelation of how much support a racist, bigoted, misogynist prick – who openly advocates torture of suspected terrorists and execution of their families (in defiance of international law) – has amongst so much of the USA public
America . . .
land of the free?
home of democracy?
the support Trump is currently receiving for his outrageous views makes a mockery of such self-righteous claims !
