    The fact he was elected by a democratic voting system only shows how flawed American Democracy is.

      Decades of very poor education leads to terrible decision making.

    This is absolute insanity. The fact that there are still some people on HN that support him is absurd.

      Some people support ideas rather than blindly support or disapprove of an individual. Too many people support him blindly. Too many people dismiss all of his ideas blindly.

        Genuinely, please list a few ideas of his that are actually good.

        I’m on the outside, but I’ve never seen a single speech or talking point of his and thought “yeah, that’s a good idea”

        People have the tendency to dig themselves into an ideological hole.

        It happened in my country with the communist party and Stalin.

        Sure people can lie to themselves, but they are still supporting this if they are not opposing him.

        Same with the Epstein files.

          This is precisely the problem, if I interpret your response correctly. Just because someone doesn't oppose all ideas that someone has doesn't mean they support all ideas coming from that person.

          You can support some ideas and oppose others. Blindly opposing someone on all fronts without critical consideration and some reflection on the idea itself is not very strategic or practical.

          In fact, it can undermine your own opposition because you will find out very quickly that you oppose common-sense ideas and people will look at you like you're a little crazy.

    Since DJT obviously doesn't know the difference between Norway and Denmark - perhaps he means Newfoundland when he calls it Greenland...-:p
