...for attacking our election system. He would be behind it 100%. But we don't have a "real President". We have a Russian stooge, it appears?
A real President would not stand in a foreign country and talk down America and our institutions while praising the leader of an adversarial country, as Donald Trump did in Helsinki.
A real President would not call our White House a "dump". It's not good enough for the privileged, I guess?
A real President would not lie every time he opens his mouth. He acts like a big mouth from the World Wrestling Federation.
A real President would be empathetic and compassionate towards our fellow Americans who have experienced disaster and are suffering. Only a sub-human would act the way Donald Trump acts.
A real President would respect our history, our institutions, and our laws. This scofflaw of a President respects none of those. He does not deserve the respect of even one American.
We deserve a real President.

is due to the nature of international business. This desire to reach out to foreign countries has been going on since the nineties. I mean, it was going on before then, but in the nineties local governments were doing some extraordinary reach out programs to connect with business partnerships in other countries. The interests of LOCAL governments were being proxied through private business people in the area. On a small scale it proved to be disastrous as local city elected officers were breaking the law in order to push these partnerships. We're still reeling from the power overreach.
Take that to Trump's level, where he gets access to millions of money from foreign interests. He is the natural result of global business networking. Which is a huge irony, since the small Joe right-wing voters are distrustful of globalism.
Trump is the supreme capitalist example of a globalist.
