Assuming the controversial president of the United States must be in possession of potentially damning information concerning his home country in order to keep them so completely under his control, the rest of the world wondered aloud Tuesday about exactly what Trump has on America that compels the nation to keep him in power. “Whoa, he must have some real bad dirt on the U.S. populace for them to just let him get away with so much unconscionable bullshit. You have to wonder what he knows,” said billions of world inhabitants outside of President Trump’s jurisdiction

    Honestly, Americans loved to make fun of the French (which naturally came out of ignorance but whatever); however, they have now shown what a bunch of selfish SHEEP they are… between the “it’s not affecting ME” attitude to “it’s only for show, to negotiate” they are justifying getting completely fucked

      My mom said he put China in it’s place, and I honestly have no idea what she means by that because I changed the topic.

      And he is exploiting the tools the establishment has built over the decades. Including huge transfers of power from Congress to the POTUS, a rigid two party system, voter suppression and gerrymandering.

    Combination of being a good con man (his only significant talent), unbelievably lucky timing, and a voting population dumbed down by progressive addiction to convenience, entertainment and self-delusion.

      He is a good con man but i think it’s worth noting that it’s because he just has no conscience or fundamental ideology whatsoever, he can just unflinchingly say anything and believe it as long as he needs to.

      He’s not, like, clever. He’s just a perfect actor.

          i don’t think you understood what i said, he’s the perfect actor in that he will say anything and believe anything he says. I don’t think there’s any script you could give to trump that he’d refuse to act out if you paid him for it.

      He was born first son to a bastard of a billionaire father. I don’t think there is anyone luckier than Donald Trump. From day 1 he’s got by on luck.

    At the moment his (department head-) whores are treating America like a Russian hotel bed. Allegedly.
