Trump.
Donald J. Trump.
To many people, he is just a cartoon of a man. The boogyman that Leftist mommies and daddies use to scare their children with if they do not go along with the ‘establishment’. “Vote Democrat or big evil Trumpenstein will come and eat you.”
To others, Trump is a nightmare; he is something that should not have been possible in the United States, in the 21st century, among a civilized, educated and advanced citizenry.
To some, especially in the media, he is a mystery. “How”, they ponder, while they give him even more minutes of primetime, commentary free, coverage on national TV, “did he manage to become so successful while saying such outrageous things?”
Well, Trump isn’t a cartoon, a caricature, a nightmare or a mystery.
Trump is a very real human being. He is for real, the Republican nominee for President. He is for real, making a serious run to occupy the oval office; and he is for real, getting a lot of help to accomplish this effort from multiple sources; some of them extremely powerful and extremely rich.
When elected Trump plans on building a wall between Mexico and the United States.

According to a Government Accountability Office 2009 report, the cost to build 1 mile of fencing at the border averaged between $2.8 million and $3.9 million. But that figure may be low relative to costs for future sections of the wall. It's based only on the first 220 miles fenced and does not include other factors, such as topography, transportation logistics in harder-to-reach areas (i.e. road-building and earth and drainage work), labor costs, land acquisition costs and surveillance equipment.
Want to know what that would look like? Picture this in America:
Trump plans on forcefully deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants. You want to know what that looks like?
Trump calls Climate Change and Global Warming “Bullsh*t”
This very expensive GLOBAL WARMING bullshit has got to stop. Our planet is freezing, record low temps,and our GW scientists are stuck in ice
Here’s what that looks like right now:
Trump has suggested he would renege on NATO mutual defense agreements effectively abandoning the Baltic States to Russian aggression.
Here’s what that will look like:
How about Economics?
Trump has stated he would “overhaul” the Tax system to reduce taxes paid by Americans.
In reality Trump’s tax plan would do little for the average American but a lot for the 1%
Trump’s written tax plan looks appealingly simple. He’d replace the current seven tax brackets with three – the bottom one would remain 10%, but the top one would fall from nearly 40% to 25% – a win for the wealthy. Taxes on dividends and capital gains would be capped at 20% – another big victory for the country’s richest citizens. Repealing the alternative minimum tax and the estate tax (which only kicks in if you’re leaving more than $5.4m to your heirs) also would help folks just like Trump and his wealthy friends and donor base. One thinktank calculated that the value of repealing the estate tax alone might be worth as much as $7.1bn to Trump’s own family (based on their estimation of his estate by 2030, and assuming that the 40% tax remains in place).
National Deficit and Debt?
Donald Trump’s Tax Plan Could Tack $10 Trillion onto America’s Debt
...two prominent analyses of the Trump tax plan — one by the Tax Foundation and the other by the Tax Policy Center. Despite their different methodologies, they both estimate that the Trump plan would cut tax revenues by over $10 trillion in the next decade.
I get why those who hate Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the DNC or Hillary Clinton will pounce on every piece of critical tidbits that can be used to slam them.
It is the nature of the beast to automatically accept any information that hurts the people you hate and to reject the information that helps them. It is human nature to not care who the speaker is, or where the information came from, why the information was released or to worry about the consequences of the information.
All humans accept a very simple logic: If it hurts someone or something I hate; it is good. This logic is understandable and natural.
However, when this leads to destructive behavior or actions, the logic is no longer normal or acceptable. It has ceased to be something that can or should be understood or dealt with compassionately, and becomes something that must be opposed and stopped.
Donald J. Trump.
Any behavior or action that helps him even to the smallest degree move any closer to the Oval Office is destructive by its very nature. Any comment, attitude, or expression that can in any form be used to support, advance, build up or lend credence to Donald J. Trump becoming President, is by its consequence something that must be opposed and stopped.
I get that those who hate DWS, the DNC or Hillary Clinton are angry; but remember:
