The Newly Emboldened American Racist

Those people speak for themselves, not for Trump. They may not even be voting. I think the OP is just pointing out the overt racism in the comment section.

This stuff has been on the internet since forever. There's nothing new about it, and it's not specific to this campaign season or to this president.

Perhaps liberals just started looking for it in order to bash Trump.

People who never talk to Trump supporters and who don't know what Trump supporters are really like can get some pretty silly ideas about them. Astonishing when close to 50% of the population is alienated from the elite to the point that they, the elite, admit they don't know any of them and have no freeking idea what their concerns are.

Well, Hillary might be un-electable if the republicans had not chosen someone who is even more un-electable.

And you may call Trump the voice of reason, but for a man who speaks with the voice of reason he sure says a lot of things that are either untrue or even total conspiracy idiocy.

And China does not just produce junk anymore, that ship too has sailed. US companies produce a lot of products in China.

And you may call it reason, but it is not reasonable to think that the US will ever start making the stuff that is made in China. It will just cost too much money, it is uneconomic and to think that the US will ever be able to be self sufficient in everything is also not realistic. A lot of foreign money is shoring up the US economy and the US debt, even the private US debt.

Donald Trump is not a great business man, he is a lucky real estate man, the only real estate that is profitable because it is mostly in places that the rich are attracted to. He talk a good game, but his business type is not the one that will pull the US out of the economic troubles.

The US needs to invest more in the things that will be more profitable in the future, high tech business and green business.

And you are right, China is nobodies friend but it is also not our enemy. The economic powerhouses of the past will have to re-create themselves, reinvent themselves and make themselves successful again by creating new products that will revolutionize the world. That is what the Western countries are good at and should make their future success in. China will join the world's most powerful nations. Nothing you and I can and will do is going to change that.

The future can be bright, but IMO not with someone like Trump at it's head. If for no other reason than that he does not have the personal qualities that make a president. He is petty, foul, insulting and does not embody the values that have made the US the most successful democracy in the world. Hillary might also not have most of those values and properties but still she is will lead the US with more vision and respectability. Because the US presidency is not reality TV.

Trump has done and said things that have turned me off as well. I wish he would change his tone somewhat and think about what he plans to say before he says it. Also, I think he needs to sit down with economic and security advisors and find ways to speak more specifically as to how he can accomplish what he's saying he will.

2008 taught me a lot. The American people want style over experience today. Obama beat McCain, despite the fact that McCain had much more real world experience. Obama hung out with rap stars and Oprah loved him, he was all public image over knowledge and experience.
Trump is just a Obama's successor in a day when the American people want a flashy movie star type, rather than an experienced politician type. Swartzeneggar winning the California Governor race should further illustrate this point.

The presidential race of 2024 could very well end up being Kanye West vs Lindsey Lohan. America is growing closer to a real life Idiocracy, but Trump didn't start that.

You're right that we should focus on technology and green energy, however, not everyone will be able to work in those fields, and our population will continue expanding as immigrant families have large numbers of children. Eventually they'll replace us, and the country will be something entirely different than what the world thinks of when they think of the USA.

Anyway, I'm rambling, you made many good points Peter.
