So imagine a situation where people who support Trump constitute 86% of Americans.
And they manage to get him elected president because such a majority can easily elect a cat if it so chooses.
And now Trump is president and works hard to enrich himself and other billionaires.
And the proles who are getting poorer every day remain ecstatic because he entertains them with making nasty jokes about his opponents.
And the second the voters begin to wonder whether it makes sense to keep him in the White House, he starts a war with Mexico and annexes Tamaulipas. And again, the public rejoices and adores him.
All of this is already happening in Russia. Putin is Russia’s Trump and Ukrainians are Russians’ Mexicans.

History just keeps repeating itself. Like driving on a flat tire. Didn’t Dubya follow this path in Iraq/Afghanistan!

But I keep hearing how Trump is “genuine” and all the other candidates are “fake”. If being genuine means that one is a loudmouthed @$$hole and that’s somehow more appealing than someone who speaks with intelligence and is interested in helping as many people as possible (instead of the 1%) then we are truly finished.
No, I don’t want a Putin clone in the White House. President Obama has his flaws, but he’s helped far more people in the US, even if many don’t realize it because of their white-hot hatred for the man because a) he’s Black and b) he’s smart, well-spoken, and Black.

Isn’t Putin much more intelligent than Trump?

No, Putin is what here we call “white trash.” 🙂 He’s from Leningrad, that’s a city where every local was exterminated and people from the deep country-side were shipped in. As a result, in the USSR, there were few cities with populations as low-cultured.

It really is quite a good analogy.

On every major issue, Putin and Trump are in complete agreement. It’s uncanny.
