The Trump Thread!!!

[Leafar the Lost]

Who says impossible?

Check was Saudi Arabia is doing at the below link. The USA could do much better if wanted.

A wall with drones, ditches, and WIDE gates and roads for business. I see no issues. And it would add jobs the way the Dem's like to do it.

Trump takes NO DONATIONS. He's for the USA, not some rich corporations buying politicians.

Can you honestly say that you would feel secure with Donald Trump as the President of the United States?

So POWs can probably join Mexicans on the list of people Donald Trump has offended.

I normally don't venture into the politics side of the forum. But I had to come over here and say Trump's comment about McCain is one of the stupidest and most shameful things I've ever heard. He's an utter ***wipe.

 

[Leafar the Lost]

What surprised me by Trump's idiotic, shameful statement about John McCain wasn't what he said, but how many conservatives agreed with him. I have heard these comments before about McCain before. There is alot of rightwing hatred about McCain, because he is willing to work with Democrats on occasion. Trump is an idiot and he is just repeating what he has heard before. His campaign will eventually burn out, but I wish he could have made it to the debates.

Not just McCain. He was essentially bashing all POWs. I find that appalling.

 

[Schlosser85]

Trump and the people who agreed with him, I don't want to hear them telling us about their "patriotism" now.

I agree. Trump is a f*****g a*****e!!!

 

[Thundercrack85]

I think Trump just crossed a line.

 

[Leafar the Lost]

I think Trump just crossed a line.

Yes, he did. Trump is a clown, but he's a clown the Republicans created. When he attacked McCain, he basically killed whatever momentum he had. It was idiotic and disrespectful to say that McCain was not a war hero, when he clearly was. Trump dodged the draft with deferments.

 

[Marvolo]

And now he is saying that he wont apologize to McCain, and that McCain is the one who should apologize for saying that Trumps comments about immigrants would fire up the crazies.

At this point, even if Trump won the primaries I doubt the GOP would nominate him as their candidate.

 

[DeadPresident]

Donald Trump is going to be a case study of just how much you can say and do wrong but maintain some semblance of support, guaranteed.

 

[Leafar the Lost]

As a Democrat who is supporting Hillary, I want to say thank you to Donald Trump. He has put all of the focus on him, which is allowing Hillary to build her base. I cannot wait for the GOP debates. Even with his idiotic, hateful comments about McCain and POW's, he will still be in the top ten Republican candidates.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Hillary has her own problems with her base.

 

[Leafar the Lost]

Hillary has her own problems with her base.

Yes she does, and she has negatives with the American people regarding trust. Normally, that would be really bad. HOWEVER, the current Republican candidates are so far to the right that it really doesn't matter. Their negatives are much higher. When you go down the list of issues that the GOP supports, it just runs against what the majority of Americans believe. Its nearly impossible for them to win, unless they find something really bad about Hillary. Something more than just lost emails and Benghazi.

 

[KevanG]

I don't like McCain but really that's ****ing stupid, even for Trump.

 

[Warhammer]

Damn, you don't bash McCain like that. Even though there a lot of people who don't respect McCain as a politician, many people do respect McCain as a POW who endured five years of torture without giving up any information nor bashing the military when he returned home. People will not take too kindly to that. Trump is supposed to be smarter than this. He should have just said he's a s*** politician or call him an old as f*** bastard.

You would have thought the Mexican s*** would have destroyed him, but this is another thing that people will grill him for. I'll give Trump some credit, though. Instead of apologizing for it, he's going full on with it. That was honestly the lesser of two evils.

 

[Thundercrack85]

There is no love lost between the Republican party and Mexicans. But attacking a veteran for being captured in war, when you've never served in the military? This is the party that pretends to be patriotic and supports the military, they can't let that stand.

This is all true. I must admit.

The worst part is he implied it was due to incompetence that soldiers become POWs. Takes a real bastard to **** on a POW who endured five years of torture. Even if McCain had gotten himself captured due to stupidity and even if he wasn't the best example of a soldier prior to his capture after five years of torture he proved that he is a strong SOB. Stronger than Trump could ever hope to be.

Trump really is an idiot. He took the billions his father Fred Trump left him, and he filed for bankruptcy four times. What he did was hire intelligent people to manage his money and real estate deals. He put himself on camera as often as he could.

McCain is a tough, brave, true American. I questioned his politics, but not his courage. He's a winner, and Trump is a loser. He willingly went into war, and Trump dodged the draft.

What you say does make sense, but this is one of those whether the chicken or the egg came first type situation. On the one hand, a lot of these hard labor jobs don't pay nearly enough for the average American to make a living like you said, probably resulting from the cheaper option from illegal immigrants for companies. On the other hand, education as a whole is moving with the advancing technology nowadays. Given a kid a choice, would he want to be doing hard labor some years in the future, or have some technical job working at a place like Apple or MS contributing to the fast advances of tech? Then there's the issue of having a fallback. The pay is either too low, or they don't have the know how since none of that stuff is taught in the average schools. Now at this point in the game, do you think most corporations would rather lean on the cheap labor so they can collect higher profits for themselves? Or choose to help out the average American and increase the pay to attract better qualify individuals for these jobs. With large companies being selfish and only looking for profits and self-interest, the answer isn't that hard to figure.

The real interesting thing is, with the education going on that is shortfalling the hard labor/infrastructure/backbone of a nation, the US is not the only one that is having problems. I visited Australia a few years back, and they are in the same boat, if not even worse off, because they don't have the illegals coming over to fall back on. Right now, key industries and companies are hiring at top dollar, anyone who is experienced in infrastructure work (electricians, plumbers, earth mover operators, construction workers) and most of it's due to the fact that their schooling long ago phased out those fields, in favor of the more technical studdies like computer science, doctorates or law. Now, they are experiencing a short fall of skilled hard laborers. The biggest thing they are screaming for are machinists and big rig operators. If you have 2 years of experience operating a crane, Sydney will start you at 80 grand a year. If you are excellent with the crane, then you will easily get 115 grand.

Now, you bring up the issue about todays kids choosing the computer programs over the hard labors. I don't know how true that is. It's possible that the reason the kids choose the computer programming classes and other technical career paths over hard labor, might because that is all that is available to the American kids. Case in point, we have a software engineer who is from Columbia. He was always facsinated by computers, but had to come to the US to get decent schooling. We have another guy who is a machinist, who came from Haiti when his parents migrated when he was 12. He was taking a tour of the university campus my company has dealings with, and this was the first time he was even aware of the machinist industry. He was originally going to take the architecture classes, but fell in love with the machinist world instead. He completed his studies, and then my company hired him as an intern, then eventually full time. The machinists get paid good, get to work indoors in the ac, and again, it's a needed industry in this country that has been phased out by the education system as a whole, but it's obvious that is an industry that in reality, is not going anywhere any time soon. Another point as well, in that you are right, if people are being paid less, it's because the corps are greedy and don't want to pay more than they have to, and it's sad, because the company I work for, is small, but big. It generates about 10 million a year in revenue, but they have no problem in making sure all of their employees, be that they are natural born citizens like me, or immigrants from other countries (we have the Columbian, Hatian, a Peruvian, Mexican, Chinese , several Viatnamese and a Cuban) are all paid very good wages. But, I guess my company is the exception and not the rule.

What base? Last I looked, Bernie Sanders is catching up to her in the polls, while Trump is gaining momentum in the polls. I saw his thing on the news about John McCain, and I got news for you, it's not stopping his momentum for nothing! In fact, the local news seems to make it out that the military personel that are still in service now, hate McCain, and don't seem to be bothered by what Trump has said at all.
